As Holden grows up to be a young man, he wants to be young again because he values the thought of youth and innocence. He believes that growing up brings phoniness and change. Holden doesn’t like change; he’s not up for changing himself for other people’s approval like most of our society. In chapter 16, Holden states “The best thing, though, in that museum was that everything always stayed right where it was. Nobody’d move.
The pressure put onto a young boy in society now a days is nothing like the pressure the boys had to endure to survive on the island after their plane got shot down during World War II. The boys were required to take on responsibilities and mature faster and earlier then any boy should have to. In today’s society, the average childhood boy has barely any responsibilities and all they have to do is play with their friends and have a fulfilling childhood, just like the boys did when they were first on the island and the fact that they would have to fend for themselves hadn’t sunken in yet. As the story progresses, the boys realize that their lives were at stake, without food, water, and shelter provided for them, they could very well die.
Wolsey was the dominant figure due to his sometimes false relationship with Henry. In source 7 we see how Henry puts Wolsey back into his rightful position as a servant but we then find out as Polydore Vergil puts it “he soon returned to his old ways” this shows how Wolsey would do want ever he wished to do but appeared to Henry as a loyal servant, showing how Wolsey could mislead Henry making him believe something that wasn’t true. Wolsey also “refused to speak to Henry” showing he was doing his own bidding doing what he wished and not going by the orders of Henry himself. In source 8 Wolsey is also shown as a dominant figure by being called, by Keith Randall “the head of the country’s legal system” showing he had a lot of power and responsibilities over many things within the country. Not only this but Wolsey’s domestic policies concentrated mainly on punishing the nobility especially when it came to justice and the enclosure issues of land being used for farming instead of housing.
In the poem “Freedom” by James Kavanaugh, the fact that humans don’t want to be free due to the requirements of freedom is reflected in “Taming of The Shrew” through having the poem’s main points being compared to the events involving Katherine’s struggle for freedom and individuality. Kavanaugh is not giving freedom a negative image, but he is simply laying down how one needs to be in order to maintain freedom. An individual usually doesn’t “want freedom”, but rather “he only talks of it” because freedom requires certain qualities and has results that most would not want. The qualities because of this seem unfavorable, so the only thing men can do is talk about freedom. In terms of the requirements of freedom, man would rather “choose his slavery and pay it homage”.
Creon should not continue as king because he is not a very good leader, he is too stubborn and proud, believes in different laws and gods as his people. For instance, Creon was not a great leader that Thebes deserved. A good leader is someone who considers the impact of what he says and does on others. Creon makes all of his decisions on his own and would not admit that he is wrong. Creon wants the people to obey him and respect him, but he has not given them a reason to.

So because of this rudeness it makes the Duvich family feel unwanted. So in order to have freedom you must be accepted. Lastly, to be free you must feel accepted. Since the Duvich family is marked as “untouchable” they are unable to do what they wish peacefully. “But the Duvitches were marked people.” (3) This prevented them to do what they wished peacefully because where ever they went they would be harassed by the town folk.
Bartleby, although seeming simple actually very carefully speaks this phrase. Bartleby in no way completely refuses to do the work presented to him but given the choice of doing it or not he “prefers” not to. If Bartleby were to simply accept the work given to him then he would be another victim to the system but by preferring to not accept the work he is expressing his right to make choices. Bartleby’s ability to make his own choices makes him an outcast of the system, as the system is what usually makes choices for the people and not the other way around. As people we are expected to abide by the choices given to us by the system and Bartleby’s refusal to do so is what baffles the
It forced him not to be vulnerable with other people, but with himself and find the happiness he had been searching for his whole life. Many people believed it was crazy, but it was what Chris wanted that was of the most importance. And in a country where “individualism” is promoted, through his journey Chris McCandless showed that people are not as different as they consider themselves to be. Though his method of finding himself may not be popular amongst many, the importance was that he fulfilled what he had believed to be his destiny, to simply be set apart from the
However, not every body is able to handle them in the way that would make their own character more selfless. Although life is difficult I claim that life’s challenges shape hero’s selfless character only to some extent, because challenges a person faces sometimes can make his or her character even selfish. Furthermore, the way of handling life’s challenging depends on hero’s level of education, ability to use his or her knowledge and skills in a particular situation, and moral principles cultivated since very yearly childhood or maybe even inherited. Culture, environment and society influence one’s personality because they shape character as well as obstacles do. In many Islamic countries, man’s childhood ends sooner then it does in other nations.
