* Question the degree of the influence Edie has on him and his future. * He turned Edie away from being a nun. Both of them had an equally important influence on each other.

Lennie expecting and eager for George to give him more hell does not get the answer he expects because George knows that he is about to end Lennies life. He wants to end Lennie’s life on a better not. The repetition of that phrase especially using that word enhances the mood of this scene because it creates the uneasy scary feeling that Steinbeck wants you to feel. Throughout the duration of this book its author John Steinbeck used dictation and repetition of phrases to enhance the mood of his novel. This book conveys a mood of sadness and hope at the same time; towards the end it conveys a fearful mood as Lennies life came to an end.
A human sent down and created by the gods to rival Gilgamesh, ended up befriending the protagonist. Gilgamesh believing he is superior, found an equal to him. Slowly as the story continues Gilgamesh finds a brotherly love towards Enkidu. This is very important because this is the first time Gilgamesh has expressed more than superiority. This causes him to shift his tyrannous ruler ways to wanting to do better things for his city.
Everyone has their own internal opposition that they sometime struggle to deal with and The epic of Gilgamesh is a proof of it. During our journey on earth, we, sometime find ourselves in opposition with our own self and as we tend to better ourselves, we will look and do everything possible to have what we want. But the result that we get in life does not always please us and that result can occur to better or devastate us. The Epic of Gilgamesh shows how internal opposition led the main character Gilgamesh to becoming a better person. Gilgamesh who was half god was considered as a hero in his town and wanted his name to be heard until the end of time (tablet1).
In the end resolution is needed to establish some sort of common ground, but this would be the most difficult of the stages in a conflict to be pursued. When conflict arises, truth often becomes a matter of perception rather than reality. This is evident in the book “The Quiet American” by Graham Greene where it shows the love triangle between the main characters. The conflict here is between Pyle and Fowler where they fight over Phuong. Pyle’s perception is that he is confident Phuong will go for him but in reality she picks Fowler.
Dante describes the dark wood: “Its very memory gives a shape to fear” (Alighieri, 194). Dante, like many others today, was forced to face his fears. Dante had to go through each level of hell in order to leave the dark wood safely. However, as relevant as Dante’s experience to facing horror is to society today, he had the help of Virgil to be his guide throughout. Many would find it irrelevant, as it is not easy to have a reliable companion such a Virgil through such a difficult and turbulent experience.
The next technique that I will be showing is repetition. Repetition is when something is repeated to give a much stronger affect, throughout this poem Wilfred Owen repeats that he hates the war due to the weather and the lies they were fed about war. I am going to talk about is “but nothing happens” in this poem this quote comes in four times in stanzas one, three, four and eight. The hatred in this quote is that they are waiting for the government to come and collect them, they are waiting for the bad weather to end but most of all
Conscious decisions are those actions individuals are aware of, but some decisions we are not aware of yet they still affect our behavior and emotions. In the play Fences by August Wilson, the main protagonist, Troy Maxson, struggles in his relationships with his loved ones, especially the relationship he has with his son, which is put into serious jeopardy when Troy decides that Cory cannot participate in sports. Troy’s action of pulling Cory out of football can be best explained by his conscious reasons that the white man will strip Cory of his opportunities, to protect Cory from being emotionally hurt, and his unconscious reasons of not wanting Cory to surpass him, and his inability to accept and understand the change around him. Troy
“when you look at me you’re far away/ when you look at the clouds you are near.” Cheng recognizes that, no matter how much he feels for the other, he cannot in good consciousness keep them. Part of the reason he feels this way towards You is the reason he cannot keep You there; Cheng loves the dreamer. To truly love You, he must allow You to desire, to dream, and to move on into those clouds. You, in this story, is the destitute Dao, searching for meaning and faith. Cheng see’s that struggle and wants nothing but to help, but the only way to help is to
He is blind because he thinks that he is making the right choice when in reality he is leading himself into chaos. Getting into the middle of the book, Macbeth admits that he is having strange self-delusions. This is most likely his guilty conscience but he is blind to this and ignores it. He explains to lady Macbeth that it is merely just his lack of experience when it comes to crime, “...My strange and self-abuse is the initiate fear that wants hard use. We are yet but young in deed.” (III iv 174-175).
