This also explains why his own son left him there. Throughout this story the character Koskoosh thoughts are revealed to us. One of those thoughts was him talking about how nature does not care about anything about the flesh just the species. Another thought in the story is him remembering the time when he watched a herd of wolves attack an old moose. This moose was a lot like Koskoosh because it was too old to keep up with its tribe as well.
Gretzky commonly said, “You’re guaranteed to miss one hundred percent of the shots you don't take” ("Wayne Gretzky Foundation"). This shows Gretzky’s positive outlook on life because it means that you can’t be afraid to reach your goals, because you will never achieve them unless you try. Although Wayne Gretzky was a great player on the ice, his actions of kindness and humbleness are what he is most remembered and honored by. Wayne Gretzky’s contributions are shaped by his father’s motivating attitude, his family, friends, and even the media. Therefore, Gretzky was able to have an outstanding hockey career and be a role model off the ice, leading to the creation of the Wayne Gretzky Foundation and the active role he plays in charity.
An example of this can be observed when the Man was on the brink of losing his fingers due to the cold weather and thought of killing the dog to simply warm his hands by using its body heat. This example shows the utmost disrespect that the Man has towards animals if he can think of killing a creature which was actually helping him make it through the storm and he had the ignorance to try to kill the creature. In Rainsford’s case, he too admits to having his hunting regularly and kills animals from all over the world which was why he said, “Who cares how a jaguar feels… They’ve no understanding.” He also shows it when he easily set the traps to kills the dogs when they were following him and it shows that he does not even hesitate to kill them. The Man and Rainsford both share another feature known as arrogance. For instance, the Man never took heed of the older man’s warning about the harsh environment awaiting him in the Yukon and as a result died due to his arrogance.
The mad man killed the old man and then cut him up and put him under the floorboards of the house. In 'The Tell Tale Heart' the main character remains nameless, genderless, and ageless, he thinks that he has done the right thing by killing the old man and that he got rid of the 'evil eye'. The main character is very confident about what he has done and think that he had a very good reason for killing the old man which was, he didn't like the way his eyes looked and because he thought that the one eye was evil. We can see evidence of that in lines 10 - 14 where he says: 'I think it was his eye! Yes, it was this!
In the Werner Herzog documentary “Grizzly Man” in which Timothy Treadwell shows his experience living with grizzly bears with the intent to change minds. I don’t completely agree with Shaun Callarman and his believe that McCandless was “bright and ignorant at the same time… just plain crazy”. In Shaun Callaman’s own words he says “I think that Chris McCandless was bright and ignorant at the same time. He had no business going into Alaska with his romantic silliness. He made a lot of mistakes based on arrogance.
They are both selfish men, led by irrational motives. Macbeth killed a good king; he speaks greatly of Duncan when he reconsiders murdering Duncan due to his good heart; “Besides, this Duncan hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been so clear in his great office that his virtues shall plead trumpet-tongued against the deep damnation of his taking off. "(1.7.16-20) Macbeth also happened to be related to Duncan but that still didn’t stop him from murdering him and fulfilling his prophecy. Under Macbeth’s rule, people were in constant worry due to the numerous assassinations and experienced food shortages. The narrator in ATTH, killed because he claimed the old man’s eyes resembled that of a vulture’s and that he felt uncomfortable because he also claimed that whenever they fell on him, his “blood ran cold”.

After failing to make a fire, the man comes up with a wild idea. The man tries to kill the dog, which shows how selfish he was, although the dog’s instinct could have led them to survival. Even during his death, one can see his stubbornness, and that if he had listened to the man he could have been saved!

Hamlet kills Polonius behind the tapestry because he suspects that it might be Claudius, but when he unveils the body and discovers that it is Polonius, he shows no sign of guilt at all. He acts like he is “convinced that he is the complete master of an obviously unhealthy situation” (Prosser Pg. 125). A person who wants nothing more but justice for the death of a loved one would feel bad for killing an innocent person during the process, but that is not the case with Hamlet. He shows no sign of guilt or remorse towards the death of Polonius, because he is clearly past the point of justice and is seeking revenge.
