Nothing could ever make up for all the bad things Sonny does but at least he does somewhat realize the bad things he does. If he did not realize his bad deeds, he wouldn’t be telling Cologero not to be like him. I know that Sonny has trust issues but that does not affect him being a good person or not. Sonny’s having trust issues is just his way of trying to protect himself from getting taken advantage of, and keep control. The reason why he has these trust issues is probably because he was taken advantage of in the past, and does not want it to happen again.
An example is when Pip says: ‘I had heard of Miss Havisham up town – everybody for miles round, had heard of Miss Havisham up town – as an immensely rich and grim lady who lived alone in a large and dismal house barricaded against robbers, and who led a life of seclusion.’ This shows the link between wealth and poverty when it says that he lives in the ‘village,’ and Miss Havisham lives ‘up town,’ indicating that Miss Havisham lives in a posh and sophisticated place than Pip does. This quote also shows that having a lot of money makes you lonely. It shows this
The Finches and the Ewells have very different family lives and have different views on how to look after children. Atticus tries to be fair and tries to do his best for his children unlike the Bob Ewell who doesn’t care, and whose children live in neglect and abuse. Atticus treats his children fairly, he never punishes them physically or hurts them, on page 62 Jem says ‘I- it’s like this scout, Atticus ain’t ever whipped me since I can remember’. Atticus won’t harm his children like Bob does, who beat Mayella. Atticus believes that beating is wrong and possibly gives them worse punishments like the time he sent Jem to say sorry to Mrs Dubose after Jem cut down all her flowers.
He tries to preserve the viridity of the children by erasing the profanity showing what kind of person he really is. Even though he constantly curses himself, he never uses profanity in front of small children. Also just because things are written in a book doesn’t mean that they will actually do it. For example when Holden says “we could drive up to Massachusetts...And stay in this cabin...later on we can get married or something...” (171) Even though these ideas occur to him no teenager would actually do this because teens are smart enough to know about the consequences and results. A very good example of this is his date Sally who is roughly around the same age as him and thinks things through and is aware of the consequences.
Greg from Kid Nation was just like that, after he found out that they gave a gold star to someone who the council thought did the finest, that’s all he wanted. After he didn’t get the gold star he was very cruel to others there and threw a tantrum. The kids on the show kill chickens for food, just like the killing of the pigs in Lord of the
The conversation turned into a yelling match and Darry ended up hitting Ponyboy, at that moment Ponyboy ran to the park and Jonny followed him so that he could get away from his house. Ponyboy thought he knew that Darry loved him but now he wasn’t sure. Bob and the soc’s go out looking for trouble that night and found Ponyboy and jonny there, Bob tries to drown Ponyboy in the park fountain. Jonny had a knife in his shoe, he didn’t want to hurt anybody but he also didn’t want Ponyboy to die. So Jonny stabs Bob so that Ponyboy is free.
Robert and Roger talk about Jack going to beat up one of their tribe members, “‘He got angry and made us tie Wilfred up.’”(159). They find this cruel act funny and exciting. Their humaneness is disappearing and they are taking pleasures in the most twisted things. Moreover, the disappearance of their humaneness leads them to killing people. Piggy went to talk to them in a civilized manner but they ended up killing him.
The hyenas betrayed Scar when Scar ordered them to kill Simba before he runs away. Rosencrantz and Guildenberg also betrayed Claudius when Claudius hired them to kill Hamlet and they didn’t, even though they weren’t good friends with Hamlet. The plot events have many similarities. Both of the kings were murdered by their jealous brothers. They also came
After, cutting the last kite Hassan ran after it to catch it, and on the way he found Assef, the boy who said was going to get revenge after Hassan pointed a sling shot defending Amir. When he tried to run, he attacked him and got molested. Amir watching the whole incident didn’t do anything to stop it and defend the person who had always been there for him, “I opened my mouth, almost said
It was almost like take my life I will take yours. If it damaged the family name it was considered waste and should be taken out if it couldn’t be handled. No emotional feelings involved. I asked myself how feelings were taken out of the equation and why men can do this so easy now but struggle with it later. The structure of the mob and the extreme loyalty that everyone felt to the man next to them because they felt they were family.
