training 12 till 2 rolans Both novels are written in the first-person. Salinger's narrative is a trail of thought that induces the reader to follow his protagonist on a rather rough journey of the body and mind. Holden is a subjective narrator, his opinion of himself often contradicts those of other characters within the novel. He feels he looks undoubtedly old yet he is frequently questioned about his age or refused drinks. He is also a hypocritical narrator, he continuously mentions how he hates movies yet he often watches them or talks of ones he has seen.
Similarly to Tom Brennan, this leads him to face immense psychological barriers such as schizophrenia, fear and antisocialism, which accordingly breeds his hatred and hinders his transition to adapt to his new world. The high angle shot belittles him within his dark prison cell, and the panorama shot of the penitentiary evokes his immense suffering and the loss of his sense of identity. Additionally, the nondiegetic crescendo of adrenaline-inducing instrumentals creates a chaotic atmosphere which effectively exudes the inner agonies of a broken man who is left with nothing. In such ways, the initial stages of the film evince the protagonist’s unwillingness to accept his new world and conveys his refusal to seek companionship. Comparably to The story of Tom Brennan whereby the protagonist fails to adapt to his new paradigm due to immense social and emotional barriers, Norman Jewison’s biographical film The Hurricane demonstrates that coming in terms with inner fear and anxiety allows one to overcome the emotional barriers and enter into a new world that affords a greater self.
Under dictatorship, many citizens feel incredible fear and deep unhappiness. Samneric from Lord of the Flies experienced both of these emotions when they were captured by Jack, and Ralph was unable to save them. Once captured, “Samneric lay looking up in quiet terror. Roger advanced upon them as one wielding a nameless authority”(p.182). Because of torture, which is common in dictatorship for
Anderson was disturbed and antagonised by the other soldiers who were bursting through the door singing as well as being drunk and talking about prostitutes. Throughout the novel, Anderson was complaining at the cursing of the men from the height of the shelling. The soldier’s experience of shelling makes the hellfire threats of the preachers seem empty and insignificant. Anderson also believes he can predict the end of the war by reading the Book of Revelation and his faith does not reassure him.
His first bad choice was entering the bar to have a drink; and drinking becomes the main source of trouble for him. His weak mindedness, allows him to be peer pressured into drinking large quantities of alcohol that allow his dark side to prevail through. The people of Bundanyabba are characterized in a way that does not give them much integrity. “You could sleep with their wives, despoil their daughters, sponge on them, defraud them, do almost anything … But refuse to drink with them and you immediately became a mortal enemy.” This is saying that you could do anything in the world these people and it wouldn’t even compare to rejecting a beer. It creates an overall feel that the Bundanyabba people don’t have self-respect and so arises the theme of alcohol abuse.
But it is clear that nick, like Lucy no longer shares much with Lewis. Their priorities and beliefs no longer seem compatible and, in two out of the three scenes in which Nick appears, he and Lewis fight first verbally (in Act one) and then physically (in Act two). In Act one scene one both Nick and Lucy leave Lewis alone in the theatre when Roy appears and says he is a patient this is because Nick and Lucy both view the patients as “madmen” and don’t want to be around them. Lewis feels betrayed (pg. 2 ).
The attitudes in the novel of many characters do not cause anything but harm as it is evident in the course of the story. This negatively impacts many inhabitants of Maycomb. It essentially caused much emotional pain to Tom Robinson who was eventually sentenced to Jail unlawfully. This lead to his death when he was trying to escape Jail where he suffered physically. It also had its negative effects on Atticus, when he was called degrading names like ‘nigger lover’ and being treated badly by the townspeople for defending Tom.
He feels guilty because he watched his friend get raped and he was too cowardly to intervene. A comparison I made to this was from the novel Night by Elie Wiesel. The narrator in that novel is going through a struggle as well. His internal conflict is whether or not he should help his father or if it should be “every man for his self”. In Night Elie Wiesel and his father are in a concentration camp.
Huck and Tom complicate Tom’s escape plan at Jim’s own expense. They put snakes and rats in his cabin, for example. This dehumanizes Jim. His vast complexity on this issue further explains his character. He wants to be free and longs for exemption from slavery, but he feels stuck in the stereotypes of society and what the culture views slaves to be.
He has acne, doesn’t wash and cuts his nails in other people’s rooms. “All he did was keep talking in this very monotonous voice about some babe he was supposed to have had sexual intercourse with the summer before.” (Pg. 33) Both characters show that they are fantasists. Ackley compensates for his lack of appeal by boasting about sex, and Holden compensates for his lack of masculinity by daydreaming about violence. Ackley and Holden are both very critical of others.
