This shows that the moose was under some type of distress and landed at the edge of civilization. Civilians quickly gathered once they heard of it. The civilians realized the moose had no strength and could not defend himself so they decided to take advantage of the moose.
I don’t think that we’ll ever go back.” (Pg.86-87, Remarque)Kropp convinces himself that war does change a man after they come from battle. Nothing feels the same no more after coming back home and all you do and think about is regretting the things you did in your past. Paul even finds himself a different man after this war. “Speak to me- take me up- take me, Life of my Youth- you are care free, beautiful-receive me again- I wait, I wait. Images float through my mind, but they do not grip me, they are mere shadows and memories.
Borderline No one likes to feel alone. Everyone has their good and bad days, but when the feeling of being alienated, empty and angry last for a long period of time, it becomes more serious.

He actively searches for answers to the unexplainable tragedies he experiences.
Like most people, I have always had struggles in life. Even though in retrospect I realize that those events have made me a stronger person, at the time it did not seem like I would make it through them. When I first saw Finding Nemo, I was struggling with many personal issues. One particular scene really spoke to me. In this particular scene, Dory was speaking to Marlin when he felt as though he had lost the only way to find his son.
The jingle of his sleigh faded as you heard Santa retreat. You weren’t stupid enough to think it was over, though. Sudden waves smothered the fires, your weariness completely warranted. “That’s disappointing!” Saint Nick mocked, “Come on! Give me more!” Just wait, you thought.
The way Okonkwo faces his problems in things fall apart eventually leads to his downfall. Okonkwo's dedication to his manliness is what leads him to these circumstances of violence and the way he thinks is the reason for his downfall.

Okonkwo was scared of people thinking he was just like his father so he worked hard since he was a child.
Even though I was not always the best player, my dad made me feel as if I was by the small but important things he did. Many times would lose, but in return instead of being put down he would cheer me up by either buying me something I wanted or taking me somewhere where we could enjoy ourselves. Even though he always knew that my team would rarely win, he always kept registering me in hopes of getting better. In this manner he instilled in me the determination to keep trying and never give up. My father has also been an important source of information and inspiration for me.
