We have to realize that they are the ones in pain and that they are just prolonging what they know is going to happen. By prolonging their death just makes it that much harder to deal with. It is easier said than done, but if you stop and think about it and put it in God’s everything will be okay. I agree with her being by her father’s side and reassuring him that he was no burden to her. I disagree that she didn’t discuss what he wanted to do and do it regardless how it was hurting her.
Boor shows this when he writes, “So you figured it would be better if I just hated myself” (265). The only reason his parents told him the truth is Paul confronted them. While they admitted that he had a right to know, they justified their reason for not telling him earlier. Paul may have understood that his parents’ love led to their over protection but he probably distrusted his parents and their ability to tell him the whole truth. Paul’s parents’ choices changed the direction of his life.
8. Tim O’Brien and Huck Finn are similar because they both are conflicted between doing the right thing and being selfish. Huck felt a loyalty towards Mrs. Watson and Jim so much that he so conflicted between being faithful towards Mrs. Watson for taking care of him and towards Jim his friend that helped him a lot. O’Brien’s situation is very similar because he doesn’t want to go to war yet he doesn’t want to be considered a coward; but going to war is considered the right thing to
Compare the ways the poet presents ideas about relationships in Sister Maude and Farmers Bride. In Sister Maude Rossetti presents a quarrel between the two sisters. This is shown when she says ‘but sister Maude shall get no sleep’; this suggests that she thinks her sister will go to hell because of what she has done. The fact that she doesn’t use a personal pronoun for her sister suggests that she has disowned her and believes that she is no longer part of the family. The phrase ‘no sleep’ is a euphemism for death and suggests that she will pay for what she has done.

I don’t steal because I don’t want to be stolen. I obey laws in expectation of others thinking and doing the same. I have been taught by my parents that it is basically bad to break the law. I feel like if I don’t obey the law in way that I would disappoint them and never hear the end of it from my parents. “Speeding may seem to be a harmless offense at first glance.
Evidence, such as Irene’s hand that was “laid on Clare’s bare arm” (209) can be cited as evidence pointing to Irene as Clare’s killer, but Irene, could not have, and would not have pushed Clare, no matter how much she wanted to. On top of the evidence for Irene’s mental inability to have actually pushed Clare, Larsen describes the situation in the room moments before Clare’s death by saying that everyone was “staring at [Clare] in curiosity and wonder” (208).

She is filled with fear in her last moments, all alone. In her most final moments, as she felt herself slipping into death, she could not find a sign of God, George, or John to welcome her. Not only was she jilted in life by the two most important people in it, but also in death and by the most important man-figure of all, God. “Granny lay…staring at the point of light that was herself; her body was now only a deeper mass of shadow in an endless darkness and this darkness would curl around the light and swallow it up. God, give a sign.
