The extent to which relationships equate to fulfillment is demonstrated within Romulus my father through retrospective analysis of Gaita and Romulus’ early relationship where Gaita alludes to his positive father son relationship as a primary factory for his present day fulfillment. The text emphasizes the composer’s positive moral values being inherited from his fathers consistent loving, harsh and instructing nature. Demonstrated through Gaitas recollection that ”three things fed my fathers anger: his knowledge that I was lying, his fear for my character and his dismay that he had lost something precious”. Gaita recognizes that the strength of their relationship was due to his father’s persistence. The fear of loosing his son led Romulus to attempt to better himself, seen through the statement “My father didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.” Although this method of parenting gave short-term dismay demonstrated through Raimond’s childhood outburst “you don’t love me”.
Nick describes his father as:”Living in the universe of the medieval church.” Science, to Nick’s father, is the same as heresy to him. After settling in Canada, the narrator goes to see Mr. Solchuck. When the narrator arrives at the farm, where Nick grew up, and meets Nick’s father, Mr. Solchuk is at first defensive and argumentative, asking if Nick is still “tampering with the earth.” Clearly, he views scientific research as an act against God. He assumes Nick wants something, but then softens when he learns the narrator has come all the way from Edmonton simply to bring greetings from Nick. The narrator and Nick’s father talk about
Also, yesterday I hated him; now we were calling each other by our first names” (67). The friendship of the boys, though unlikely, grows to benefit them both.

Among the countless works of literature, the Bible holds stories that have helped shape and influence society. Genesis tells about man’s development through learning to cope with everyday struggles. The story of Esau and Jacob shows how one brother deceives his sibling and father for personal gain. While Isaac becomes old and blind, his sons Jacob and Esau battle for their father’s blessing before his death. The text reveals that an individual must not sacrifice his or her integrity in the pursuit of power.
This statement provides more information on Beowulf’s family history. Beowulf’s family history possibly had an effect on his braveness and eagerness to earn power and fame by taking on various battles throughout the text. Beowulf begins with the narrator telling the story of Shield Sheafson leading up to his funeral, which in my opinion foreshadows Beowulf’s funeral at the end of the poem. Early in the text we see that the narrator may be Christian, which is surprising for this piece of literature. The narrator states: “Afterwards a boy-child was born to Shield, a cub in the yard, a comfort sent by God to that nation.

His famous conspiracy of death “to be or no to be”, was a questionable outsource for a lot of people. Hamlet faced relative problems, as he followed his beliefs which took him to the murder of his uncle who had a sexual affair with Hamlet’s mother and who is a widow after her husband’s death. Therefore, all of this occurred only but for recognition, his words and quotes were spoken for no reason with no imagery and without any sense. He spoke for the rights of innocent people and gave his life for his freedom of speech. Was imprisoned for 27 years, till he got out and took over the leadership of his country.
This is the point where he fires several shots into Key's legs and thighs forcing him to fall into a fence. Key begged for his life, but Sickle took the gun and fired pointblank at his chest. Sickles was acquitted of murder and allowed to be freed after his attorney said, "Sickles could not be held responsible because he was driven insane by the knowledge his wife was sleeping with Phillip Key." The insanity defense was created for people who don't have the intent required to perform a criminal act because a. they don't know what their doing is wrong or b. they cannot control their actions even when they know it's wrong. I believe that Daniel Sickle did what many others have done and continue to do, manipulate and abuse a plea intended for people who cannot help themselves.
