Sure others will place restrictions on our desires, but these restrictions are there insofar as we allow them to be. This is being solely applied to Duberman and his suffering in his younger days. He failed to confront himself about his sexuality and accept it, which renders him emotionally unstable. So he readily accepted his sexuality as a disease and self-prescribed as being incapable of a lasting fulfilling relationship with another man, as psychiatry would claim during the time. And in essence he became a self-fulfilling prophecy.
He was not really saved, but the pressure from the congregation got to the child. Eventually, Hughes’ caved in from the same relentless encouragement. The negative effects from the pressure were evident in the last paragraph as Hughes cried in bed. His ability to please his aunt had left him with a sense of failure in the fact that he had to lie to receive the approval. As was foreshadowed in the first two sentences of the story, Hughes’ experience with salvation was not what he expected it to
Because this isn’t a fairy tale, and there is no actual ‘adventure’ taking place, this can be viewed as the protagonist refusing to take on the quest he is being presented. Realizing this allows the reader to understand that the story is then moving on to the second stage – the struggle, or initiation. Usually during the struggle/initiation of a monomyth archetype structure in a story, the hero figure being presented is exploring their unconscious self, and realizing their deepest fears and concerns. In ‘The Step Not Taken’, the narrator expressed that he is haunted with a sense of regret for not doing anything to help the man in the elevator. In his own way, this is him
The best way to keep yourself in check with reality is to dream is to never to dream about falsifications. Dreaming of being something that changes actual history can cause disillusions within your brain. The dreams will soon become your belief or even your
The phrase after the semicolon is a good example of personification because it connects the fire in the fireplace to the human quality of dying. Fire does not die like a human, but it does go out gradually. Kind of like a person’s lifespan. 6.19. The wind gently ran through the night sky.

Isolation is one of the themes that Sherman Alexie is trying to get across to the audience. Junior, the protagonist and narrator was born with water in his brain. This caused him to have multiple physical impairments. Junior also has a curiosity that could not be matched by any of his peers. His curiosity makes him an outcast within his own people.
Like in the quote from “The Ship Shape” by David Sedaris, the father expected the family to be excited about the promises, but instead they were disappointed because they had been let down numerous times. Being continuously disenchanted by a person can also lead to future problems such as not trusting the person, which eventually
1366 If he heard songs or instruments of music, then would he weep and could not be consoled. So feeble and low and changed were his spirits, that nobody could recognize his speech or his voice even if they heard them. And in his behavior he acted not only as if he had the lover’s sickness of Eros, but rather like madness sprung from melancholy in the cell of imagination in his brain. In short, both the disposition and habits of this woeful lover, lord Arcite, were turned all upside-down. 1379 Why should I describe all day his woe?
In his fervor, he failed to realize the outcome of his actions and did not immediately understand his own reaction to what he had done. This failure is due to the flaw in his character, his inability to cope with the hardships that plagued his life, a haunting that he himself had indirectly created. He did not have a strong will and was constantly affected by disease (“fever”). Victor failed because he could not restrain himself, he could not stand the sight of anything even slightly repulsive and he was
