When it comes to Kavitha, she already could feel that her relationship was not going to last that long because she was seeing facial feathers on her husband that she did not like weeks and months after getting married. You could see that she went from being a wife that tried to get to know her husband to living vicariously through her young neighbor’s relationship. When the opportunity came for her to leave her marriage, she did it in a flash without too much remorse for leaving her husband behind because she already felt the relationship was lost a while ago. For Theo he only shows some emotion when it comes to the car he has been wanting for some time now. He normally stays on the same schedule, work and come home to a house that does not express …show more content…

That thought was this: What if this was something beautiful that he had shut himself off from his whole life? What if they were wrong, the watchers? Maybe there was really nothing bad with this. Had he been mistaken his whole life? Until now, near the end’’. (39) Once he finished up with his third visit he laid back on his car and enjoyed the moment not caring if anybody noticed him because he knew his life had changed. The protagonist in the three stories all started out trying to please others and sacrificing their happiness for the good of a current or pass relationships. Soon these three faced decisions that would test their consistent need to please. Kavitha was stuck in her unhappy relationship, Theo felt like he was not getting enough respect, and McHenry could not get pass the idea of people judging him. Eventually they all made choices that went against who they were and even though some might see the pathways they have taken as bad ones, it was the way they could get some inner peace within

  • Compare And Contrast One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest

    Firstly, the authors use the use of protagonists to show how they can present similar ideas in different ways. The two protagonists which the authors present are Keating from Dead Poets Society and McMurphy from One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s nest. These characters have readers intrigued and on their feet from the beginning. These characters always keep the readers guessing what they’re going to do next for example when Keating says “No matter what anybody tells you, words and ideas can change the world.” The Protagonists are presented as very different people but are in reality extremely similar and serve the same purpose. The authors present them as

    After having read the three short stories, the characters chosen for the literary analysis are Sammy and Connie. The first story is “A & P” by John Updike and the second story is “Where are you going, Where have you been” written by Joyce Carol Oates. These stories both describe young teenagers who are in the search for their identities and are going through struggles trying to prove their worth. These two characters Sammy and Connie are barely the reflections of the same person, they are both naive and want to change the world by their way but in the real sense they are not ready for this. There are still a lot they do not know, but their naivety and ignorance blinds them on the journey of trying to prove their worth. The thesis is that

    And yet none of his certainties was worth one hair of a woman 's head. He wasn 't even sure he was alive, because he was living like a dead man. Whereas it looked as if I was the one who 'd come up emptyhanded. But I was sure about me, about everything, surer than he could ever be, sure of my life and sure of the death I had waiting for me. Yes, that was all I had. But at least I had as much of a hold on it as it had on me. I had been right, I was still right, I was always right. I had lived my life one way and I could just as well have lived it another. I had done this and I hadn 't done that. I hadn 't done this thing but I had done another. And so? It was as if I had waited all this time for this moment and for the first light of this dawn to be vindicated.”

    The characters rise out from their misery and gain new perspective over their lives, with their rediscovered inner self, and the book ends on a satisfying note; but that is not the only recurring theme, there seems to be another existing theme which comes with a deeper analysis. A bunch of underlying questions that seems to ask to be explained. Why must every character go through some experience to rediscover their inner self? Is it that only suffering can bring one closer to oneself? Only when things seem to go down, that we allow ourselves to recognise the presence and power of our
