I don’t think that we’ll ever go back.” (Pg.86-87, Remarque)Kropp convinces himself that war does change a man after they come from battle. Nothing feels the same no more after coming back home and all you do and think about is regretting the things you did in your past. Paul even finds himself a different man after this war. “Speak to me- take me up- take me, Life of my Youth- you are care free, beautiful-receive me again- I wait, I wait. Images float through my mind, but they do not grip me, they are mere shadows and memories.
Lastly, his last dilemma is he has a hard time deciding wether or not he is going to help Daisy when she finds out about Tom. Those are only a few of the dilemmas that Nick faced. I came up with a self improvement plan though to help Nick out with his every day struggles that he faces in his new town. I think that Nick has been over-stressing himself. What Nick needs to realize though is that all of the peer pressure that is going on should not bother him, he shouldn't let it ruin his focus on his work.
When Siddhartha tells his father that he will go to the Samanas the next day with his permission, his father, “falls silent, and remains silent for so long that the stars in the small window wandered and changed their relative positions” (Hesse, 9). Old traditions and customs were so important that any hint of change causes apprehension to arise. Following these traditions for many was regarded as the safer path, and the path that would keep you out of difficulties. Siddhartha, all of the sudden deciding to change his path was a shock to his father and not something he obviously wanted to support. Throughout his path to enlightenment, Siddhartha sets himself apart from society.
Kavalerov has become his father, though he only admits it in dreams. He is describing himself, using his father’s name in his place. This proves that Kavalerov’s fade into his hallucination is already beginning. “I
They would support each other as to go on living and working, but this relationship transforms as the two go through more and more situations. Never in the history of the Jewish people, men have never recited Kaddish for themselves. Elie and his father were in a line that was heading to the pit, an infernal heat that was rising, as they were getting closer. They were told by another inmate to lie about their ages, the Elie was eighteen and that his father was forty. As they were getting closer Eli was to himself saying goodbye to his father, to everything, and against his will, he was also whispering the Kaddish.
The poem suggests that the persona didn’t really fit in with his father’s happiness and the powerful phrase “happy as I have never been” suggests this very clearly. Skryznecki realises that he and his father have different perception of belonging. There is a section in stanza 7, line 3 which states that the person forgot his first polish word and would repeat it until he never forgot because he feels so distant from his father’s heritage. The next text I would like to confer with all of you is “Migrant Hostel” which is about groups of migrants who journeyed through the experience of going through the migrant hostel in Parkes, in the centre of New South Wales. As I noticed whilst reading this poem, that there is a sense of imprisonment and insecurity, towards the migrants as they waited desperately to be relocated to an unknown destination, which would probably unwelcoming to
He tries to persuade himself that it was just his imagination, and he then heads off to Philippi the morning after for the big battle. He says farewell to his friend Cassius, and he says that if they meet again when the battle is over, they’ll laugh about this sad farewell, but if they don’t happen to meet again, then the farewell was completely
At the end of the book he says “Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody.” I see this as like he’s better now but he just had this guard up all the time
I remember he was into music from a game called Final Fantasy which led to him printing out the music and after dinner every day up until the show he practiced. I remember being too shy to enter the talent show and I remember he told me, “Sis’ you have to live and not care what anyone thinks of you” (Sandoval). He had said nothing more and left the option open. Steven never criticized or made fun of anyone for their short comings he always encouraged. He has the self determination to challenge himself.
The Concept of Dystopia In the novel Anthem and in the movie The Island, Rand and Bay use the concept of dystopia to connect characters, symbols, and society. “I shall call to me my friend who has no name save international 4-8818, and those like him… I and they, my chosen friends, my fellow builders, shall write the first chapter in the new history of man( pg. ).” Equality connects to this quote because as he progresses in knowledge he realises that he can not complete his ideal society with only Liberty, his soon to come child, and himself. Equality wants all of his former friends to find out and feel exactly what freedom really means. this drives equality to come to the conclusion that he will go back and retrieve his friends from this evil society and start the first chapter of history for mankind.
