They had also both been in the hospital for injuries and talking about how surprised they were with the three meals a day and how they had to leave for fear of being shot when camp was evacuated.

The survivor in Maus had used his skills in different languages and in life skills while the author of Night, only a child at the time, was trying to do his basic work and keep his father going.

Another example of ambiguity was Hester Prynne, because she at first is someone a reader could pity, then she becomes a cold person with no sense of feeling, then later to a sympathetic fortunate woman. Finally, Dimmesdale’s revelation of his chest marks the last questionable situation. He could have had something physical on his chest because he has always shown pain in that area, Chillingworth acted as if he found something on his chest while the minister was fast asleep, and it would be most likely that Dimmesdale only revealed his chest to the Puritans if they could observe anything significant on his
After he apologizes to her for saying he didn’t like her husband Claude reflects on Mrs. Meitner.

By seeing past Claude Brown’s bad boy ways of robbing, drug use and thuggish persona you see very grown up attitude of a kid not even in high school.
