As an alternative to challenges in dysfunctional relationships, individuals may seek escape, leading to an active step towards transition. In the Simple Gift, Billy’s distant relationship with his father and town he is living in forces him to seek escape. Herrick represents this dissatisfaction with family and community using descriptions of the weather to create a negative and depressed atmosphere, both physical and mental, of “Nowheresville”, and “The wind howls and the rain sheets in”. This egregious weather metaphorically represents Billy’s emotions and the challenges he is constantly facing in this environment. As Billy begins living in Bendarat, he leaves behind his old challenges such as his dysfunctional family in exchange for new challenges such as homelessness and hunger.
The physical barrier being the wall itself and the emotional barrier of feeling shut off from each other. This shows how contradiction is part of the human way of life, in this poem it is that they want to work together to fix the wall because it is broken, yet the protagonist yearns to be accepted by his neighbour and wants to take the wall down so they can be together in companionship instead of just repairing a wall once a year together. However, by the protagonists pleas the neighbour simply says, and with repetition “Good fences make good neighbours” This repetition explores how a person’s tradition can make them stubborn and unwilling to accept new ideas, like taking down a wall to start a friendship. To humans, tradition is something that is not questioned or changed; this shows how some people follow their tradition faithfully while
I tell ya," he cried, "I'll tell ya a guy gets too lonely an' he gets sick" (Steinbeck 72). Crooks does not have anyone to talk to, this shows another side of him. While he talks about men in general feeling lonely, he really is talking about the way he feels. Crooks is mostly affected because he is shut down from activities and the workers in the ranch mistreat him because he is black. While talking to Candy he says, ".
Frethorne’s time as a servant was so brutal that he believed he would have been better off living life as a crippled beggar in his hometown of England rather than being a servant in the New World (Lauter 289). From Frethorne’s letters you can deeply feel the true pain and suffering he went through on a daily basis and you learn how much he begged and wished for his family to help him be back with them again in England. Simply, Frethorne’s experience as an indentured servant in the New World was unpleasant. His life during this time was rough due to elements, including: scarcity of food, weakness of the body, and loss of hope for a better life. During this time in the New World the demand for food was incredibly high, and only the wealthy were the ones lucky enough to get a real meal each day (Kupperman).
He considers carrying things through the streets undignified, and refuses to do it himself. On Christmas morning, Malachy and Frank attend Mass with their father and go to collect leftover coal strewn over the Dock Road so that their mother can cook the pig’s head. Pa Keating meets the boys on the street and convinces the landlord of South’s pub to give them a bag of real coal. They drag the coal home through the rain, passing cozy houses. Children laugh at them from inside the houses, taunting them and calling them “Zulus” because they are smeared with black coal.
Race and Diversity 31 October 2011 Sidewalk While reading Mitchell Duneier’s novel, “Sidewalk,” I was struck with a whirlwind of different emotions from not only the words, but from the photographs as well. Although they were just simple pictures of every day life for these people, they spoke a thousand words. The photograph that truly struck me the most however, was the one on page 53. It’s simple to look at, but given some thought it genuinely details the everyday struggle these street vendors face. A black man, more than likely homeless, is covering his table of goods with a plastic sheet while the rain comes poring down.
Mrs. Milgrom and Shepsel, Janina’s uncle hate Misha because he came from the streets. Mr. Milgrom gladly accepts Misha as part of their family. When food began to get harder and harder to find, Misha found a way to the city. He could squeeze through a drainage pipe in the giant wall. During the nights, he would leave the ghetto and steal food for his family.
Those who survive carry guilt, grief, and confusion, and many of the stories in the collection are about these survivors’ attempts to come to terms with their experience. In “Love,” for example, Jimmy Cross confides in O’Brien that he has never forgiven himself for Ted Lavender’s death. Norman Bowker’s grief and confusion are so strong that they prompt him to drive aimlessly around his hometown lake in “Speaking of Courage,” to write O’Brien a seventeen-page letter explaining how he never felt right after the war in “Notes,” and to hang himself in a YMCA. While Bowker bears his psychological burdens alone, O’Brien shares the things he carries, his war stories, with us. His collection of stories asks us to help carry the burden of the Vietnam War as part of our collective
To save himself Crooks tries to explain to Lennie how it feels to be lonely, ‘Maybe you can see now, you got George. You know he’s goin’ to come back.’ This monologue is important Crooks is lonely in many ways: he is crippled so he is isolated from society, he is black and he is intelligent all of which set him apart from anyone else on the ranch. At this point animal language is used again for Lennie. Crooks discusses how life would be for Lennie if he was on his own, ‘They’ll tie you up with a collar, like a dog.’ Words like ‘growled’ also show how Lennie’s temperament changes. Please note that animal language is used the most during tense scenes.
