As he speaks to Frank about his compulsive eating and lack of any health issues causing it, he says that what bothers him most is not being fat, but lying about why he is so heavy, and hiding his eating from all his loved ones and acquaintances. Even his wife believes he has gland problems. This reveals that Tub is not as emotionally strong as he pretends to be, and both the judgments of others and the lies he perpetuates to try to prevent those judgments take a toll on his self-esteem and conscience. Tub isn't as tough as he wishes he was. Later, when Frank confesses his scandalous relationship with his kid's underaged babysitter, Tub is shocked, but tries hard to understand Frank's affair.
And another thing he says is that he wants to be a “catcher in the Rye” to save the kids lives so that they won’t fall off the cliff. I don’t think Holden is as perfect as he wants to be I think he only judges people and calls them a phony, because he probably does things like they do that he hates doing himself. There’s parts in the book were Holden acts like a phony and sometimes is a hypocrite , he contradicts himself, for example when he tells he hates the movies but then again he also tells that he likes attending them with her sister and with his friends. I can’t say Holden is a phony because he judges people in his mind and he admits he’s a liar, his attitude is like many people. Yes Holden does criticize people a lot but he never tells them and he never hurt anyone.

This racial language is disgusting and should not be said by a young boy, but it goes to show that Ben has inherited some of his mother’s racism. On the other hand Daisy is extremely hurt and distressed by Ben’s language towards her. Her innocent mind cannot comprehend why Ben would say such a thing, even if he was purely influenced by his mother. Mrs Preedy is very involved in her son’s life and prevents him from making his own decisions because of her racial views. She made it impossible for him to become friends with Daisy only because of her coloured skin tone.
This changes the viewers reaction to Chris as at the start, he is very arrogant to his family, but these things shows how he can be compassionate. Another reaction to Chris' personality was his arrogance to his family. His parents looked after him and at the start offered him a car, but he was arrogant about the life he had. He threw it all away, traded the life so many would want for a life in the wild. He realises that his family and the people who were part of his journey cared for him but he rejects their love and goes to live alone.
My Digital Sabbath Personal Response In Marche’s essay he had some key things that I think are true and appreciate as a reader. When Marche says, “The Digital Sabbath makes me realize how deeply the tendency toward distraction has been ingrained in my consciousness. It’s hard for me to play Lego with my son. It’s hard just to read a newspaper.” I can also connect to his statement because if I can’t for someone reason go on my computer or watch TV I also feel restless and feel distracted for some reason. When the author says, “I am not an internet addict by any definition, but I do wonder why I crave something that makes me less happy.” I also agree with this statement because I know going on the internet make me restless and I cannot concentrate after getting of the computer but every day I go to the computer to check my emails and etc.
The reader second guesses their first opinion of him and sees a selfish side to him, as he is drunk at his cousins funeral with no regards to other peoples feelings. These are not the expected actions of a character whose sole purpose is to be comic. Act 2, Scene 3. Throughout this scene, Toby continues to show a different side to the funny personality he is assumed to have. There is something unpleasant about him and he is certainly not simply comic although he does provide some comedy.
229) I believe this quote reveals the moral because as he reads this book he find out Crusoe is all alone and isolated and even though Charlie doesn’t realize it yet he himself is isolated and lonely as well. Next the writer demonstrates the lesson by including the character’s dialogue. While Charlie is reading his progress reports with Miss Kinnian he says, “All my frends are smart people but there good.” (Pg. 229) I feel this quote expresses the theme because Charlie doesn’t realize how his friends actually treat him. He thinks they’re all nice to him, but instead they just laugh at him and make fun of him which signalizes that he’s lonely.
There is not a lot said about his history at home but it is mentioned that he feels the need to impress others due to the fact that he is a ‘late baby’. Cormier never really defines what Raymond means by this but it does influence his actions and journey throughout the story. As the novel progresses we start to see little events of courage that start to change his own personal journey. When Artkin and Miro drugged the children, Raymond had the wit and nerve to hide the candy instead of eating it “…I pretended to sleep, like the others…I thought they’d be mad at me and punish me if I didn't eat the candy…” In his last moments during the book, he wanted nothing more than to go home. When Artkin approaches him about taking a walk outside, Raymond asks Kate if it is all right to go.
While these kind actions with his nearby residents are honorable and righteous, these actions are not indicative of an exceptional individual, but merely a individual. Rip Van Winkle possessed characteristics of a normal person. He liked to drink, was lazy, and rather than focusing on his own home, and personal home life, he would avoid interaction. While reading the essay, there were some references to Rip Van Winkle's wife being portrayed as a constant nag because he did not contribute around the household. Some might argue that It is because of his wife's berating, that Rip was not proactive in contributing in house work.
