She was very rude to him and would not even speak to him. It was not until Derek finally cracked and had told his mother that Morso was the only reason he was still alive and he was the one person that was always there for him and he was like family to Derek, that she realised there was nothing bad about Morso. The thing that made it the hardest was when his mother sent them to school almost as soon as they had returned. They were not ready for school or anything like that, it was even hard for them to try and socialise with new people. Derek and Morso’s lives had been so unstructed, that the common school setting was not appropriate for them.
Greasy Lake – The Cultivation of a New Character In T. C. Boyle’s Greasy Lake, the author uses extensive imagery to present changes in settings. Blending in diction, metaphors, and other literary devices, the author details the narrator’s inevitable downfall and his eventual epiphany, which triggers a new outlook and deeper understanding of himself, society, nature, and thus the cultivation of a new character. Through gradual change of perspective, Boyle illustrates the narrator’s change from being rebellious and destructive to being appreciative of peace and convention. In the beginning of the story, the narrator depicts himself and his companions, Digby and Jeff, as rebellious teenagers who seek destruction in their lives just to look cool. “…gin in one hand and a roach clip in the other”(pg 2), they took drugs and drank alcohol, listened to loud music, wrecked others’ properties, watched people make out by the lake, and “didn’t give a shit about anything” as they drove recklessly.

Though Heathcliff does demonstrate behavior that would indicate him as a fiend from hell, Bronte does portray him as an outsider. An orphan that was luckily “saved” by Mr. Earnshaw, HeaHHHhhhHhoishgslakgnsalkgnsadHeathcliff was not meant for Wuthering Heights, and for the majority of his childhood, he was not particularly welcome. He was repeatedly put down, most evident when Catherine acknowledges the fact that by marrying Heathcliff, she would have nothing. This forces him to accept the fact that his social status, or lack of one, forbids him from being with her. His actions when he returns from his absence are those of an impassioned man who is forced to watch his love be with another.
This ends up leaving Penny and Primrose traumatized to the point that it affects them all the way up to adulthood. Which symbolizes the effects of the aftermath of war.

As Scrooge in a Christmas Carol assimilates the past, present, and future into his life he has a sudden realization of what all of his experiences that night were meant for. In “Once More to the Lake” by E.B. White, White shows the suddenness of the narrator’s epiphany about death by saving it until the very last sentence. It helps the audience to feel the abruptness that the narrator felt when he stumbled upon this feeling. White shows his epiphany that death comes up when one least expects it through telling a tale of him and his son just enjoying memories and time at the lake just to meet death while they are relaxing.
