    In T.H. White's Once and Future King, fate plays a very important role in Arthur's life when he meets Merlyn and Merlyn becomes his mentor. When they first met, Arthur was confused as to why Merlyn was going all the way home with him until Merlyn said, "Why not? How else can I be your tutor?" (37) Arthur realizes he had been on a quest to find his tutor. This quote is important to the theme because it was Arthur's first quest on his journey towards king. This reason this quote is so important is because Merlyn is preparing Arthur to become a great leader. After all of Arthur's training with Merlyn, Merlyn tells Arthur that he might not know it yet but he will be, "Hic jacet Arthutus Rex quandum Rexque futurus... The Once and Future King." (287) This quote foreshadows that Arthur, will in fact, become the great leader. If it were not for training with Merlyn, he would not be the great leader he developed into throughout the book.

  • Analysis Of He Becomes Deeply And Famously Drunk

    As we already know that Archie just want to get revenge of his father’s death. Which is divergent. He should think about his mom too if he wants to get revenge. As I mentioned in previous paragraph that he was drinking, very destructive and didn’t attend school. His mom is not raising him right because of her own problems which is depression. She is dependent on pills to control her health because she can’t get over her husband 's death. One of my researched article stated, “Research on the effects of an infant 's/child 's death on parents ' mental health and personal growth has found symptoms of PTSD, depression, and anxiety; lower quality of life; and minimal involvement in social activities up to 6 years after the loss” (Hawthorne, et al.). In other words, It is very difficult for parents to handle their health when they lost their child. Which could lead to many health related problems. Such as PTSD, depression and anxiety. I also believe it is hard to manage if you lost your close relatives or friends. It does not matter if you lost your child or husband but the symptoms will be the same. Archie’s mother needs more time and need more care than Archie needs but Archie is not that old who can understand what his mom is going through and what he needs to do to make things better. For example, Archie said, “A number of times she’s called me, trying to get me to come home, even though she herself is the one

    Seinfeld used to be one of the most watched television shows in the world. Some of its characters such as Kramer and Jerry became household names. With each character having a comic flare and so much character development, it was definitely a show to be reckoned with. It was so big that Jerry made one million dollars a episode, while his co-stars were paid six hundred thousand per episode. Although this show was not being made when I was born, I watched one episode of it and have been eagerly excited about it every since then. I love to see how each of the characters are developed and learn how much work ethic they put in to make these comic roles so successful. Also, my favorite character is Kramer because I see that I have a lot of similarities

  • Tracy Turnblad Character Analysis

    When my mom asked if I wanted to see this year’s Lakeside musical, I honestly was a bit unwilling. It’s not that I didn’t want to support my two or three friends up on stage and in the crew; I just don’t have a very good track record with high school performances. I’m a critic: I have always been very critical of myself, and very critical of others. I unwittingly judge the actors onstage, and end up feeling guilty because I probably could have done no better. On top of this warped superiority/inferiority was the nature of the musical they were performing; all throughout third grade I had been obsessed with the movie-musical Hairspray. I knew all the songs, most of the lines, and wasn’t sure if anyone could top Queen Latifah. But I was mistaken.
