The world was always puzzling, but after the war people didn’t even bother to find any significance in life. After the war, people resided to sex and drunkenness for the fulfillment of their hopelessness. The characters in Ernest Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises struggle with these problems. Hemingway tries to portray how the lives of the Lost Generation were simply disintegrating into the dark abyss. Through the characters of The Sun Also Rises, Hemingway tries to depict the aimless lives of people and how they became “lost”.
The term “if I should die” was probably a used phrase when the soldiers were writing letters to their loved ones. This poem captures the attitudes of the time of much patriotism. The men were willing to sacrifice themselves for England and dying with happy hearts. The beginning of the war was not as volatile so the view on the war was very calm and collective. The enthusiasm of winning the war and the confidence that it would be over by Christmas was very high.
The best part of the scene was when he told Ponyboy to stay gold; that part was the most convincing, since it looked like he was actually dying and because of the way he said it. Taken as a whole, Johnny’s character was depicted excellently, though Matt Dillion was definitely the top dog of this film. Matt Dillion did an outstanding job at playing the role of Dally. In the scene that Johnny died, Matt Dillion’s body language and emotions matched the description of the book very well; he looked very distraught and depressed. This scene was also a great scene because Dally’s character finally showed his true colors, and it was illustrated as well as it was in the book, possibly even better.
Homicide paper and Bernhardt “Bernie” Tiede The case of Bernhardt “Bernie” Tiede is very well known for its excellent and humorous film adaptation and also for Bernie’s unusual character and peaceful life, which clashes with a murder and life sentence. Bernie Tiede was a loved former mortician and funeral director in Carthage, Texas, which is located in the state of East Texas. Bernie lives his everyday life, when suddenly, thanks to his jobs, Mrs. Marjorie “Marge” Nugent, a wealthy 81 years-old Carthage widow, formed an attachment to Bernie and opened him door to new lifestyle. It was not a relationship, rather a symbiotic friendship. Other citizens of Carthage hated old Mrs. Nugent, due to her bad temper and Bernie was a very sympathetic man with an inexhaustible patience.
Dolce et Decorum Est is the First World War poem I am going to compare translated means “ It is sweet and fitting to die for ones country “This poem has 4 unequal stanzas, the 1st two are in sonnet form and the second two are looser in structure. This is because the poem has two parts of the story. In the first stanza the Soldiers are limping back from the front line such is their wretched condition they are compared to old beggars, yet they are young men. The men are exhausted from the lack of sleep ‘men marched asleep’ and their once smart uniforms resemble sacks ‘bent double like old beggars under sacks’ second stanza is about the action focuses on the man who cannot get his gas mask on and is drowning in a sea of green which is the colour of the gas ‘but someone still yelling out and stumbling’ The soldier is drowning as the gas invades his lungs. ‘as a green sea, I saw him drowning’ in stanza 3 the poet has a recurring nightmare of the soldier he saw dying in agony, a sight that will stay with him forever.
With whom do you have more sympathy with, Arthur Kipps or Jennet Humfrye? In the Woman in Black, I sympathize with both Arthur Kipps and Jennet Humfrye, however not The Woman in Black. We have sympathy with Arthur Kipps, as he has not done anything to deserve the loss of his son, and Jennet Humfrye due to her son being taken away from her. Arthur Kipps has not had anything to do with Jennet Humfrye, yet she is haunting him for no apparent reason. At the end of the book, he is trying to let go of the WiB (Woman in Black), carry on with the rest of his life and move on.
We know that the American dream never comes true because he goes on to say 'An never a God damn one of them ever gets it.' This shows that it is a definite dream, thus conveying the theme of dream vs reality. The word 'never' shows that it is impossible. It makes the reader start to question George and Lennies ambitions. Also it makes the reader feel pity for them and shows how hard life would have been for
There is no room for compromise in the world he now inhabits. Only 24 years old and not a risk-taker, as demonstrated by his chaste relationship with Martha, Cross has the safety of his men in his hands, and he cannot juggle two priorities; as the text states, “He was just a kid at war, in love.” Cross’s method of symbolic reasoning finds further emphasis in his digging of a foxhole that night and crawling inside, thus repeating the fantasy playing out in his head in the moments before Lavender’s death. There he comes to the realization that Martha “did not love him and never would,” a fact obvious to the story’s readers. With his love for Martha forbidden to him — or at the least, transformed into a “hard, hating kind of love” — Jimmy Cross turns to what can substitute as its
