By the narrator regretting he could only take one path it means they do not have the chance to take many directions in their life at a single time to see how each will play out. This is because he cannot look ahead to see where each choice might lead or where the next choices in each of those roads
But when one looks deeper, the text seems to fit Holden’s ideal. Winter, in which the event takes place, represents the growing-up, or death. The crossroads resemble the transition stage between Holden’s childhood and adulthood. Holden, of course, doesn’t want to embark on the journey of adulthood; he’d rather just stay a child. He feels as if he won’t survive the journey and will “disappear.” Holden, being his callow self, can’t comprehend that this ideal of his won’t work.
This created confusion of reporting responsibilities, political tension, and reluctance to take responsibility and action. To address the main problem Erik Peterson is inexperienced and this shows in his incapacity to handle various situations in the case. He lacks the support of the upper management (Jenkins and Hardy), and does not reach out for help among his peers( Green,Cantor) He also has to face insubordination,Curt Andrew being the prime accused in this case. He also faces the Turn on Deadline 1) Lack of communication from frontline workers to Curt Andrews (and thus Erik) in providing tower building status, updates, or needs. Erik seems hampered at quickly knowing exactly where the 21 towers stand.
In my opinion, this story is not satisfying. There are too much wanting things they didn’t say. This story The Tell-Tale Hearts Story is not spellbinded me because of the author. First, I can’t learn everything about the person in that story. At beginning i don’t know that it he is a gir lor boy, don’t know his name.
REGENERATING WORLD Two different literary works, “No Country For Old Men” and “Sailing to Byzantium” both tell a story of characters who don’t feel that they belong to the world they live in because of their ages. Therefore it is no surprise to see that the title of the novel is taken from the first line of the poem. The protagonist of the novel, Sheriff Bell believes that he is no longer part of the place that he used be. By drawing a parallel, the poem “Sailing to Byzantium” describes the thoughts of a man who struggles to fit into the world, therefore searches for an ideal place. The poet of “Sailing to Byzantium” tries to escape from the place in which he feels useless.
Frost’s sonnet “The Road Not Taken” describes a person who chooses between two paths and reflects about his choice. The character walks into the woods and comes to a complete stop where two roads go to in two different directions. So many decisions are going through his head because he wants to choose the right path so he spends his time glaring at one roads thinking if that is the correct path. The “two roads diverged in a yellow wood” (1) becomes a symbol of life and change. This is why the speaker takes his time thinking which path to choose because not only is he concerned about which road to take but also which path in life is the correct one.
It is a negative event in life and something to be dreaded, mainly because it is an unknown. Given that both of these poems were written about death one would assume that they were both very much alike; however, that is not the case. Death is the main theme but they both also talk about the possibility of some sort of afterlife, though they do not have any reference to God in them. Both poems are also very different in tone. The poem, “Because I could not stop for Death-“, alludes to a possible afterlife or existence in different manifestations, especially in the last two lines “I first surmised the Horses’ Heads Were toward Eternity_”.
These are very important factors of relationships, and if they aren’t practiced the right way it can lead to the destruction of a good friendship. What is communication? Telling your partner everywhere you go during the day isn’t communication. Because most likely you will bore the person you are talking to. Our day to day life typically isn’t very exciting.
To build a fire In the short story, “To Build a Fire,” by Jack London person versus nature dominates the events. First, this being the man’s first winter he is inexperienced and lacking imagination with regard to the extreme obstacles that lay before him on his journey to camp. “But all this—the mysterious, far reaching hairline trail, the absence of sun from the sky, the tremendous cold, and the strangeness and weirdness of it all—made no impression on the man,” (London,126). If he had more experience, it may have warned him that it is too cold to travel further and to make camp and a fire for the night. He could also imagine himself in predicaments that could affect his life and perhaps make wiser choices.
Robert Frost’s “The Road Not Taken” and “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” represent choices that are made in everyday life, choices to take your own path or to follow in society’s foot steps. In the poems the speaker is in a predicament where he has to choose between two paths in life. In “The Road Not Taken” the speaker chooses a different “road” than society would normally choose, showing the speaker’s uniqueness. In “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” the speaker is confronted by choosing nature or society. He finds himself wanting to be rid of society and all the things that it represents.
