This is eveident in the peice, 'compensation Shock'', here 'bereaved parents lash out'' at the paltry amount they were compensated for the death of their son. Black humor is clear from Keller's choice in articles, as it evidently suggests that one can put a monetary value on Human life.

You could not find a soul purer than the one of our lumbering friend Lennie’s. It is always clear to the reader, that whenever Lennie causes harm, he either doesn’t recognize it for what it is, or he is deeply sorry for his actions. Lennie is the least dynamic character in the book. He undergoes no changes, and the characteristics that apply to him when we first encounter him can be used throughout the whole book.

First the author shows the theme by integrating character’s actions throughout the story. Before Charlie becomes intelligent he wrote, “I want to be smart.” (Pg. 221) I think this quote confirms the theme because since he wasn’t smart he could have separated himself from smart people. As Charlie was reading a book called Robinson Crusoe he wrote, “I feel sorry because he’s all alone and has no friends.” (Pg. 229) I believe this quote reveals the moral because as he reads this book he find out Crusoe is all alone and isolated and even though Charlie doesn’t realize it yet he himself is isolated and lonely as well.
This chapter is counted into a climax and a turning point of the novel. Due to the effect of alcohol and ignorance from Sally and the bar singer, Holden made himself of a fool with collapsing sense of security. When he was in the park, he was overwhelmed by depress and miserableness. Tape, ducks and pond triggered his depressing memory of his brother Allie’s death and the fear of his own funeral, thereby revealing the root of his previous manic behavior: Holden was troubled by unexplained disappearance and he was in deep anxiousness that all the things that were related to his pure, innocent childhood would suddenly vanish. This echoes one of the themes of this novel—adolescent confusion on the way to the adult world and the pain of growing up.

However, Bukowski also presents the idea of Chinaksi being trapped in his own life style and how his choices in life have still caused him imprisonment and why he is not happy with his so called 'freedom.' Lurie however, is shown to be a respectable professor of literature and has the initial air of being completely free. This is until Coetzee presents his thoughts on his pupil 'Melanie,' which also shows his imprisonment in the rules of society and how this contrasts with the rules of human nature.
However they also strive to form meaning within the writing through literary devices, characters, and the piece as a whole. But writing can also be a form of relief from hard ache, melancholy, and sometimes resentment. Writer’s write for themselves because it is what they are meant to do, but along the way they create meaning, conversations with others that they have never come in contact with, but most of all form beautiful forms of art through the simplicity of words. Writing is constructed based around improbable conversations they have with themselves and their readers. They write to express their feelings, opinions, and truths, but prominently themselves.
