In The Trap of Gold, by Louis L’Amour, a man named Wetherton travels, and finds a mountain full of gold. However, if he is to mine the gold there is a possibility that the mountain may collapse on him. In “The Treasure of Sierra Madre”, a movie written by John Huston, Fred C. Dobbs and Curtin work with a man named Howard to mine gold for their own profits. On the way there and throughout the time that they are there they run into many troubles. When you compare the characters in “The Treasure of Sierra Madre” to the people from The Trap of Gold, they have a variety of similarities, like Dobbs and Wetherton’s greed, and even Howards and Wetherton’s wise words, but they also had differences, like the tone and aggressiveness towards ideas.
During the course of the novel of ‘Deadly Unna?’ the readers are exposed to the negativity between the father and his son. This affects Blacky in way that his self-esteem is almost non-existent, and the negativity is prominent throughout the novel. Examples of the neglect shown by his father are that of the time when Bob refers to Blacky as a ‘gutless wonder’, and the journey we take through the story of Blacky’s deteriorating respect for him. The ‘gutless wonder’ incident was a influential part of the novel, as Blacky realises that his Dad isn’t one to take advice of someone he feels is inferior than him, thus saying, ‘My own son, a gutless wonder. A gutless fucking wonder!’ When Blacky explains to his father about the storm, Bob insults him rather than swallow his pride and takes his son’s advice on board.
McCarthy uses vivid imagery, metaphors, dialogue and setting the mood really aids to grabbing the audience’s attention and bringing them into the story. The first way we see how the man and the boy are very different from others survivors in that the man has compassion for the child, and would go the ends of the earth for him. McCarthy uses this quote to show that: “Can I ask
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, like many spaghetti westerns, is a tale about changing loyalties and human greed. The story follows the adventures of three men who are after the hidden gold: the man with no name, Blondie, otherwise known as the “Good”; a Mexican bandit, Tuco Ramirez, otherwise known as the “Ugly”; and a bounty hunter Angel Eyes, otherwise known as the “Bad”. With good reason, none of these men trust each other, especially with the matter of the Civil War raging around them. While Angel Eyes is looking for the hidden Confederate gold, a group of bounty hunters are prepared to capture Tuco in the desert when Blondie challenges them to a draw and wins. Tuco is outraged when Blondie delivers him to local authorities for reward money of $2,000.
This story captivates the sense of what a true brother is. It shows how one person can do a lot to help another learn what he thought he could not achieve. This was all done by one person, the narrator. The author chooses Brother to be the narrator because he gives the story Subjectivity and Objectivity which all gives Character Development.

He's my son! He'd rather see these no-good punks than his own mother? You scum…” Mrs. Cade. The reason for his low self-esteem and him losing his innocence by killing Bob is because he has to deal with lack of parental love. The extent of your loss of innocence also depends on the environment you are raised in.
Curley uses violence to emphasise his masculinity to both the other ranch hands and his wife, and take advantage of anybody who he thinks is weak, hence why the mentally-slow Lennie is his usual target. Curley took a strong dislike upon Lennie the moment that they met, simply because Lennie was bigger than him. Curley doesn't like feeling belittled so constantly feels the need to aggresively harm anybody whom he feels threatened by and almost control them, this quote said by Candy backs this up: "Curley's like a lot of little guys. He hates big guys. He's alla time picking scraps with big guys.
We tried keeping the signal fire going but we couldn’t. And then you, playing at hunting…”(Golding 178). He is also probably mad because his tribe is all work and no play and he sees that it’s not fair that Jacks tribe is all play and no work. His emotion turns to anger for Jack because the main objective is to get rescued but Jack is too arrogant to want to work to make it happen. Anger is an important emotion because it leads to violence like in the death of Piggy, Simon, and the attempt to kill
Jack is starting to become both physically and emotionally numb. He no longer feels the need for comfort or safety, all that matters to him is the thrill of hunting. "Then dog-like, uncomfortably on all fours yet unheeding his discomfort...." Free from the rules that adult society formerly imposed on them, the boys stranded on the island struggle with the conflicting human instincts that exist within each of them; the instinct to work toward civilization and order, and the instinct to descend into savagery, violence,
Do him in!” (Golding 141). Fear of the unknown arises in the boys in the form of an indescribable ‘beast’. They do not feel a sense of security until it is dead. Likewise, the idea of the beast creates an unsafe feeling and uncertain atmosphere on the island, driving them to kill. “That was Simon’ ‘You said that before’ ‘Piggy’ ‘Uh?’ ‘That was murder” (Golding 144).
