Despite the fact that Jude and Sue are friends, their failure to deeply associate with each other uncovers the anguish and solitude that happens in numerous relations. The author starts the passage with a lonely tone, introducing Jude and Sue, both having an “equally lonely and disheartened” character. Additionally, their personal circumstances are neglected with a specific end goal to catch both of their lonely emotions together, which causes the audience to foresee a relationship among Jude and Sue, this helps indicate that Jude and Sue like each other. The most compelling evidence is when Jude questions “his devotional model that all was for the best.” What the author means by this, is that Jude can’t like Sue because she is married to someone and liking someone that is already married is morally wrong due to the time period this passage takes place in. Another key point is the author sets the passage off with a “night shade” and night symbolizes darkness and isolation which relates too Jude feeling lonely. Throughout the passage, Jude and Sue show much affection towards each other. Jude addresses Sue by saying “yes, dear” which clearly shows that Jude has feelings for her and that he is addressing her in a …show more content…
In the passage, the rabbit is lured by the gin and has no way out. The purpose of this is to show how Sue symbolizes the rabbit and she is trapped in her marriage with another man and can’t escape, when in reality she likes Jude. After the rabbit is trapped, Jude waits a while and kills the rabbit by striking “the rabbit on the back of the neck.” This explains that after the rabbit has died, it is free from the suffering of the trap, which relates to how societies have established marriage like a trap amongst people. In other words, the ensnared character of marriage explains Jude and Sue’s character because they like each other, but Sue is married to another
Character development in a protagonist is crucial to building themes and the overall intent is discovered through the main character. Wilson approaches the concept of the protagonist in an interesting manner, deciding to not conclude with the protagonist leaves the reader with a lack of pity and perhaps some confusion. Likewise, the protagonists in her plots are isolated, forgotten or consequently dead. In “Hurry, Hurry” the main character, Miriam is first portrayed lonely with only the companionship of her dogs. The setting attributes to isolation through the fragment “No people anywhere.” (Hurry, Hurry) this demonstrates how Miriam is all alone in the vast tranquility of nature. In contrast, the last paragraph in “Hurry, Hurry” does not imply anything about Miriam therefore it leaves the reader confused and the protagonist suppressed. Mr. Willy, from “The Window” is the principal character who is similar to Miriam. Mr. Willy asserts his loneliness through his feelings of being “small and alone” (The Window) therefore exposing how isolated his character is. However, the conclusion in this story does end with the leading character, th...

In "Annabel Lee", a young man is mourning the death of a beautiful young lady. Even though the woman had died quite some time ago, the man is still in melancholy. He misses her terribly and constantly thinks of how she was she was tragically taken from him by the angels who were jealous of their love, and by her family who didn't think the he himself was capable of bringing her to her final resting place. He loved Annabel Lee more than anyother human can love another. The following quote tells the reader how much he loves her and shows that he would do anything for her, even if that means sleeping by her tomb, each and every night. "And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side of my darling, my life and my bride, in her sepulchre there by the sea, in her tomb by the side of the sea."
When Jude’s Grandma died, she gave Jude her “Bible” full of superstitious phrases and quotes. The text states, “I’m a bit of a bible thumper. Other people have the Gideon, I have Grandma Sweetwine’s” (Nelson 24). The first chapter that Jude narrates, she immediately mentions this “Bible.” This shows how much Jude lived by this “Bible.” There are several times in the book where Jude uses this “Bible” to show her personality. At the beginning of the book, Jude was fake and not herself. However, throughout the book she changed into her true self. Overall, the characterization in I’ll Give You The Sun shows that you should stay true to yourself and not change who you are to please other people.
In the newspaper article and the extract from a novel, the authors illustrate the relationships between humans and rabbits in very contrasting ways. In the extract from "Watership Down," the rabbits are personified to perform human activities; such as socializing with other rabbits, which humans would find unusual and impossible. Through rabbits, Adams can scoff at humans who cannot "sense much in a strange place where they cannot see, but with rabbits it is otherwise." Humans are also considered as shallow-thinking beings, because they don't "sense … where they cannot see," "except the courageous and experienced blind [people]." The roles of rabbits and humans have been reversed within the two texts; in the novel extract, rabbits are thinking creatures and on newspaper it's regarded as normal house pets. In the newspaper article, rabbits are considered by the journalist as the "perfect pet" and "miraculous creature" because unlike cats or dogs they are pets that need very little taking care of. Both texts also discuss how rabbits are "social creatures [from] the wild … [and] benefit greatly from … living indoors with humans." Adams explains that among themselves "rabbits mingled naturally." Again, mockery against human is being mentioned again in the extract from the novel, "[rabbits] did not talk for talking's sake, in the artificial manner that human beings - and sometimes even their dogs and cats do." Adams is trying to challenge the readers' opinion on whether humans only socialize superficially or
Rat’s friend, Curt Lemon, dies and Rat writes to Lemon’s sister honoring him but sadly the sister does not write back; ironically she ignores Rat because she perceives the story as disturbing and horrible. The reader would expect Lemon’s sister to respond honoring her brother or thanking Rat but ironically she does not respond making all of Rats efforts go in vain. This is sad and Immoral because the sister does not care and O’Brien writes, “...So incredibly sad and true; she never wrote back” (51).
The rabbit was scared: “We cornered a terrified little cottontail rabbit, trembling, while we were deciding whether to shoot him or spare him, then my friend fired and killed him and burst into tears. I did too.” This slides towards the main idea of the rabbit being scared and same as the boy. So they both felt sad, the two boys and the rabbit. “A little cottontail. A haunter.” symbolized the boys fear and regret to this day. To this day the man, still haunted towards what he did about fifty years ago. Where were the parents? That is an clue for symbolism. But the overall idea is to make a symbol of how the boys related to the rabbit at the
alienation to be broken, Lennie walks into Crooks’ room “smiled helplessly in an attempt to make friends” (75).
Kate, seeking both relationship and personal space, missed out an important factor. The factor was that in relationships, whenever something had bothered her, she preferred to keep it to herself because she has a weakness for confrontations. Kate would prefer to suffer inside for a long time before admitting her feelings to someone else. This behavior led Kate to open up to Aaron too late, and although breaking up with him allowed her to restore her freedom, it merely just replaced her “I don’t have time for myself” frustration with the “I am not in a relationship” frustration.

Now Nel's " thighs were really empty” (1037) and it was Sula who had taken the life from them. Nel's happiness left when her thighs went dead.

“Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light” -Helen Keller (brainy quotes). The importance of this quote is to show that in both books, the protagonists try to cling to these friendships because it is just easier to go through the dark times in their lives with someone by their side. Cat’s Eye, and A Separate Peace are both narratives surrounding the influence of friendship on one’s identity. The two novels highlight how the protagonists are affected by their superiors and how their character development is shaped by those around them. As a result of the influences by their friendships, both Elaine and Gene’s identities worsen. The two stories display how one’s identity
