He thinks that Candy’s dog should be shot because it is old and smelly, he persistently argues to shoot the dog, an example is when he says “Well, I can’t stand him in here” and “and he stinks to bear hell. Tell you what. I’ll shoot him for you. Then it won’t be you that does it.” He suggests that Candy could have one of Slim’s puppies instead, but he does not recognise that Candy has an emotional attachment to his dog. After he shoots the dog, he does not apologise to Candy and he even cleans his gun in full view of everyone, this shows that he is an insensitive character.
Hassan has taken the blame for Amir their hole chidhood whilst they shot nuts at the neighbors dog and here he takes the risk of being attacked by Assef in order to get to the fallen kite for Amir. His kindness only emphasises the horror of the scene because it contrasts completely with Amir's inability to step up and protect his friend. Amir only thinks of himself and his want to please his father whilst Hassan thinks only of Amir “for you a thousand times over.” Hosseini doesn't give a detailed description of this scene. Every time it has the potential to become graffic, Amir takes his mind off of the situation. Only about a page and a half reflects the duration and the word ‘rape’ is not used.
Yes, it came to Al’s realization that he was losing his touch as a comic writer, but he would never fully admit it to himself. Instead of throwing in the towel, AL resorted to stealing the scripts from a deceased young comic named Davey Farber, whom was killed in World War 2. Al’s actions put his and Sammy’s job in jeopardy, even when Sammy was unaware of what he did. Al kept those scripts locked away in a desk drawer and his girlfriend, Connie, would repeatedly ask him why he had kept them. His response was for “a little sentimentality, and for old time’s sake.” His words are deceiving being that he really keeps them for inspiration, and possibly a back-up plan when he can be comical no more.
I feel that the human race has become too egotistical, inconsiderate, and self-centered which is what Tobias Wolff was trying to convey when writing this story. The story begins with the three friends on their hunting trip that they have regularly been going on for the past two years. Kenny and Frank are picking up Tub on the side of the road on a cold, snowy night in Spokane, Washington. The story immediately starts off with Kenny and Frank antagonizing Tub by almost running him over in an old, beat up pick-up truck that had a brick thrown through the windshield by some juvenile delinquents previously. Tub has to jump out of the way as the truck violently barrels onto the sidewalk.
Is Nick A Reliable Narrator? In “The Great Gatsby”, F. Scott Fitzgerald tries to portray many things about Nick Carraway; making us readers contemplate whether or not he is a good narrator. Many parts of the book illustrates that he is a bad narrator, such as the part where he got drunk (page 35), where he lost track of the time (page 36) and when he didn’t thoroughly explain in detail what happened to Myrtle after Tom broke her nose. Nick is unaware of his surroundings; this makes him look unreliable and irresponsible. Following, I will mention key points to why he isn’t a suitable narrator for this book.
Throughout the whole trip he had something to say for everything Tub did. I don’t like Kenny and I think he has some self-conscious issues and doesn’t care about anyone but himself. He’s a jerk to everyone else. Kenny and Frank were close so sometimes even Frank would make fun of Tub or something mean. Kenny is a very manipulative person and can make anyone feel down.
With his good intentions and smart thoughts, it made the other biguns feel inferior. As Piggy tried to state ways that could organize their ‘society’, the others would just tell him to be quiet. As the others would bully him, he’d always rely on Ralph to back him up which didn’t happen all the time. His character wasn’t very fit for survival on a deserted island, which made him complain more than the other boys did. As he followed the others up the mountain to the fire, he would continuously complain about his asthma and how he was tired.
He beats him, he throws pomegranates at him, he is no longer willing to be his friend even though that is the only thing in the world Hassan wants and needs after his horrific experience. The final act of betrayal was when he framed Hassan for stealing the watch and money to drive him away from his home. Ali and Hassan decide to leave after that. As life goes on everyone but Baba learns what happened to Hassan. Amir’s betrayal acts were all caused because of his
Not properly making use of the meat meant that the moose had been murdered. Sacrificed, for no greater cause than to sit there and rot, infested with maggots. This put the death of the moose into perspective for him. He not only suffered the loss of the meat, but had momentarily shared in the self-indulgent mentality of the same society he fought so hard against. It forced him to come to terms with the fact, that his kill was no longer a victory, but a waste.
It was his mistake for beating up Peter anyways, yet he's mad at his parents and his lawyer because they didn't get him out. He's mad at Peter for not being able to fight back and Garvey, for convincing him to join the Circle. Also, when he is on the island, he regrets going there and wishes that he just went straight to jail because at jail, he would be comfortable. He has told people that he truly wanted to be part of this Circle and so other people have been donating their time to help him "cure" and become a better person, but he makes a plan to escape the island after he arrives there.
