This idea is continued in his mother “wanting only what was best,” an anecdote symbolising ignorance and sacrifice. Peter Skrzynecki explores the idea of choosing not to belong. The persona is distancing himself from his school through distraction: "fervently counted/ the seventy-eight pages". He violently “stuck pine needles” into the motto. This use of pine needles in attacking the motto highlights violence and aggression the persona feels towards the school, which is a direct reflection of his lack of interaction with others, resulting in his feelings of insecurity and actions of defiance which in turn builds a greater barrier to belonging.
As previously mentioned she uses the words ill formed and feeble to describe her unfinished writing’s fragility. In line 10, she continues by saying, “thy visage was so irksome in my sight,” to explain the shame and discomfort that she carries with her due to the fact that her “baby” was exposed to the public still so unpolished. She applies the words blemishes, flaw, and hobbling into her diction in order to express her piece as something that is not well put together, and no matter how much she attempts to polish it, she feels as if she has failed at improving it. Lastly, Bradstreet’s characterization of her work comes to life through the evident controlling metaphor of the poem, which is claiming that her writing is her “offspring”. Throughout the entire poem, the controlling metaphor becomes this idea that her writing is her child,
Anse Bundren is an uneducated farmer whose selfish tendencies in his personality result in poor parenting and relations with others. Anse is extremely selfish as well as stubborn and throughout the book he butts heads with the other characters. For Anse his wife's death is just bad luck and he seems only to feel bad for himself, not for the loss of her.

Goodman Brown has left the comfort of the cave of confusion and is beginning to discover the imperfections of the world and of its people. A teacher, who had “an indescribable air of one who knew the world”, leads Goodman Brown from the cave. His teacher continually leads him along the path to enlightenment despite Goodman Brown’s attempts “to return whence I came.” Goodman Brown learns that people are not perfect and that “good” people sometimes do “bad” things.

Archbishop Oscar Romero starts his speech by thanking everyone at the University of Louvain for this honorary doctorate and for letting him share his experiences as a Salvadoran Christian and pastor. He starts to refer to his country as a Third World country, a world that the church needs to serve and fight for all the poor people that live in it. The poor tells us what the world is, what the church’s service should be and what it means for the church to live in that world. Romero starts to describe the most demoralizing and demeaning life these poor people live. They have a high rate of infant mortality,

Do we call down hell fire on the man who has sinned against the word?” (Lawrence, Lee 65-66) The reverend wants to punish Cates, who is involved with his daughter. Not only for that reason, but also for Cates teaching science to children.
His constant bleeding symbolized that the remorse of living in the cruel time period and the loss of his brother is causing a strain and slowly killing him.

When Ilsa offers Liesel a book, Liesel refuses it because she is enraged at Ilsa for firing Liesel's foster mother Rosa.

Teachers across the planet have been searching for the solution to this epidemic. Finally, I have found the solution.
