In ‘Horse Whisperer’ the whisperer has lost a lifestyle and he/she says ‘but the tractor came over the fields like a warning’, relating to the industrial revolution so horses were no longer needed for ploughing the fields and therefore he/she was not needed either. He/she was ‘scorned as demon and witch’. This is similar to the woman in ‘Les Grands Seigneurs’. She starts off by seeing men as her ‘performing seals’ entertaining her and she sees herself as ‘their queen’. This shows how naive she is about men, and when she gets married she is treated in the same way as the men she treated.
“Crooks had reduced himself to nothing” (89). As Candy and Lennie leave Crooks’ room he tells them to forget about him going with them, he wouldn’t want to go to a place like that. He gained hope for less than an hour and lost it as soon as one woman “put him in his place.” All the other men up until that point continued to hope that one day things could get better, Crooks did not, and this isolates him. He tells Lennie “Nobody never gets to heaven, and nobody gets no land. It’s just all in their heads
Warts educational experience further accentuates the indication of an anti-war society when he visits the geese society, for example, facing first-hand the ways of a Utopian society. One of the geese in the society, Lyo-Lyok, tells Arthur the idea of fighting is stupid. He only enjoys the idea because he is a “baby,” (White 170). The idea of the injustice of fighting is drilled into his mind in all different ways as he grows up. The education received as a child effectively takes place during his transition from young Wart to King Arthur.
Although he is introduced as a loving father trying to care for his daughter, he does not want anyone bothering him and seems like an unfriendly person. With his powerful position in the village he is worried about what may be the cause of Betty’s illness, whilst many are assuming it is the cause of witchcraft, which he refuses to discuss. Abigail, Parris’ niece, enters the room and starts arguing with her uncle – however our first impression of this girl is that she may be truthful whilst Parris is unnecessarily angry at her, wanting her to confess all that happened in the woods. He says ‘I cannot go before the congregation when I know you have not opened with me’; he does not trust her and cannot lie to the village about the events that night. This makes us sympathise with him more.
Many of his students said they weren’t interested in what was being taught because it was stupid and they already knew the material. Gatto doesn’t place blame on any one party but places the blame on everyone. With this essay Gatto intends to get the proverbial wheels turning inside the readers mind by giving them a look into his own view of the educational world. He uses a host of examples to support his ideals. First, Gatto refers to a lesson his grandfather taught him at the ripe age of 7; his grandpa declared that if Gatto was bored that it was his fault and no one else’s.

Also, yesterday I hated him; now we were calling each other by our first names” (67). The friendship of the boys, though unlikely, grows to benefit them both. Mainly, Reuven is able to “liberate” Danny from his father. Danny’s father is very strict and cold, and seemingly unloving. Reb Saunders uses the silent parenting style on Danny, where he only speaks to him while studying religion.
Hemingway has come to use literature as a way of telling of his experiences during the war and he uses Krebs as the main character to do this. When Krebs returns from the war, he is distant, despondent, has no interest in anything or anyone, and is very lifeless. The only thing that he showed interest in was his younger sister who asked him to go and watch her throw baseballs, which was something that we can presume from the reading that he showed her how to do. He returned to a
However, it is difficult to believe that Cathy chose to be evil to the extreme that Steinbeck depicts. He described every moment of her life as being devoted to bringing other people down, and pulling herself up. She achieved this through devious schemes that trapped many important men in compromising positions, and also by clever plots that allowed her to take over one of the most successful whore houses in Salinas. Cathy was a secretive person who went to great measures to cover her past and her feelings. In turn, chosen isolation combined with the lack of love is a clear identification of the source of her evil, which is
