But Cal after meeting his mother has realized that he is not at all like his mother. Instead he has some good in him that Cal takes Lee’s advice of him being someone. Making Cal’s evilness to good. Adam – “‘Cal!’ He said harshly’ ‘Sir?’ ‘I trust you, son’,” (Steinbeck 596). Adam has finally has his father and son moment with one of his children that he is grateful to express himself to his son Cal.
The content in the work is imperative to the messages it communicates. “Take the N-word out of ‘Huckleberry Finn’ and is it still ‘Huckleberry Finn’? Probably not, after all it is a book narrated in Huck’s voice.” writes journalist Delia Lloyd about the subject. The individual ideas in the book can’t be as easily conveyed in ‘politically correct’ language. When Huck says “Jim had an uncommon level head for a nigger” the message he is conveying to the reader will be distorted if you alter what Twain originally wrote; the sentiment will not have been as accurately communicated.
He does not understand this example of maternal interaction is a representation of her motherly instincts and unconditional love for him. He thought, “I was, in her eyes, some meaning I myself could never know and might not care to know” (23). Because he never understood he actually meant something to her, he believed all of life was pointless. The sense of emptiness Grendel experiences causes him to feel even more isolated and meaningless. The relationship between Grendel and his mother is one that portrays the importance of maternal interaction and its effect on one’s emotional well-being.
Social disengagement theory has the most value because it states the natural process individuals go through as they age which is being less socially active. The social disengagement theory is better than the activity theory because it is more useful in this scenario as the man is not physically active as he needs assistance throughout the whole day therefore the activity theory is of no use when looking at the scenario whereas social disengagement theory is useful as the man is less socially active and does not interact because as the scenario explains, he is not able to spend much time with his children and
He warns George and Lennie about her, despite the fact that they haven’t met her yet. This is significant as the structure of the novel means that our views are already prejudiced before we even see Curley’s wife. I think that Steinbeck has done this to show how easy it is to prejudge by listening to others, and that this might mean you don’t give people a chance-like what happens to Curley’s wife. Candy uses the word ‘tart’ to describe her and makes her sound like an object by informing George about Candy’s glove and what he uses it for. George is immediately disgusted by this ‘that’s a dirty thing to tell around’ and we can already see a negative view of Curley’s wife forming in his mind.
Mr. Das and Mrs. Das are very self-indulgent and immature in behavior, tactless, and proud. As Mr. Kapasi notes that they behave like a brother and sister that have to watch over the kids for one day. Mr. Kapasi, on the other hand, is an older person of dignity who is greatly fretful with his looks and impression he makes on others and has established a life of rituals that help comfort him with his unhappy marriage. More sympathy is shown for the American culture. They are displayed as neat and “cool” but as one can see; their relationship with themselves and their children gets worse everyday.
The reader can understand the relationship between father and son by simply reading the salutation. Chesterfield directly refers to his son as, “boy,” this shows his lack of respect for him along with his absence of familial weakness to him in contrast to his wife, which he states further on in the letter. Another example of diction that shows his values is how he repeatedly reminds his son that he is young; this is used to belittle his son and make his advice carry more weight. Last, he uses the word, “friend,” to give the tone in which he wishes to give his advice. He sought to give advice as a peer rather than a parent, which shows his devotion to his son because he is not acting like the dominant father he very clearly is.
When asked, “Don’t you love your mother, dear boy?” Krebs replies, “No”, adding “I don‘t love anybody“ (Meyer 169). Knowing that she could not possibly understand how he was feeling, Krebs knows he has hurt his mother and convinces her that he did not mean it. Krebs decides that emotional ties to others leads to consequences that he would not ever face again. Although surrounded by people, Krebs is alone within himself. He seems to have a sad emptiness that others cannot
Sheila defends herself from Eric with “Don’t be an ass, Eric” and further along Eric teases Shiela with a quote-“Steady the buffs”. This some how offends the mother with the language they use and tells them to mind what they say. This shows that their mother doesn’t let them joke around often and it’s a bit sad on them to as they like teasing each other. This might have caused a loss of bondage between the two. Further along, in act 3, Sheila and Eric’s bond became more and more stronger as they backed each other up from their parents when the Birlings thought that everything is fine and sorted out because the inspector wasn’t a real police officer.
In terms this could flip the whole tone of the novel whether it was depressing due to the old man’s mind, or vulgar and hostile from the younger waiter’s point of view. If Ellison were to choose to Write B.R. in third person there would then be two different sides to the story instead of just one. The reader wouldn’t be able to decipher the truth between what’s being told correctly and what would end up being slightly twisted. The story would become less personal and not have as great of an effect on the
