“I have to leave in seven minutes” (Mafi 204). Juliette and Warner have been growing their relationship day by day in the training room and in each other’s arms. Adam is having a hard time coping with his so-called “love affair” because he is still in love with Juliette. I think Adam is having a hard time letting go of the girl he once met because she’s not the same person that he wants her to be. I don’t agree with the parts where Warner says he loves Juliette but doesn’t show it. The first piece of evidence that Warner doesn’t show his affection for Juliette is when Warner explodes in Juliette’s face while they’re talking in his office. “Go, ‘he says quietly.’ ‘I don’t want you to be here right now’” (Mafi 202). This confuses me because if you love someone don’t you want to spend time with them? Warner makes it sound like he doesn’t appreciate Juliette’s presence sometimes. He basically tells Juliette that by her not leaving, it’s making him lose his dignity. The last time I checked you don’t say that to someone you love. Last time Juliette checked that’s not …show more content…
Warner has been helping train Juliette for battle against the supreme commander. The plan is to beset Anderson from all sides and take him down once for all, so Juliette must learn to control her powers. Warner has a weird way of doing this though. He strictly keeps his relationship out of training. He acts like they have no connection during the training sessions because he wants her to focus. I understand how he wants her to focus on training but he’s pushing her away while doing it. He leaves her with instructions to follow but no communication. Juliette said in the book that he doesn’t like to talk much during the training sessions, and no one knows why. Warner’s always kept to himself until he met Juliette, which doesn’t make sense why he won’t talk to her. He basically asks her to punch him because he doesn’t know how else to talk to her around other
In The Return of the Secaucus Seven, while waiting for the others to arrive, a kerfuffle occurs between two of the individuals that were dating, Jeff and Maura, which is the end of their relationship. One of the friends, Irene, is bringing her new boyfriend and wonders if her long-term friends will accept him. As a representation this time period, relationships are highly focused on sex and sexual interactions. It is nonchalantly discussed and taken part, whereas previously these actions would have been absurd. Immature relationships and conversation between the characters are another representation of the carefree undertones in the movie.
Marie Howe’s feelings are expressed after arguing with a man who plays a significant role in her
hroughout the Iliad Achilles shows how the ego of a Kardashian is being portrayed and the emotional maturity of an eight-year-old because of the certain adult qualities he lacks, for example: he does not work well with others, he lacks the concept of forgiveness, he is selfish, thinks highly of his self without regard to others, being rude and unkind, aggressiveness when talking to others, and having too much pride and not thinking about the consequences of his actions and how it can affect not only him but others as well. Achilles does not like to work with others he prefers to be the one in charge of everybody and he likes for everyone to do as he says. In the Iliad Agamemnon says, "This man wants to be ahead of everyone else he wants to rule everyone and give orders to everyone" (1.302-303). Achilles and Agamemnon are having an argument amongst one another because no one wants to give Achilles the honor he feels that he deserves for being the best fighter in the war and for all the blood sweat and tears he shed while defeating the Trojans "he is a mighty bulwark in this evil war" as Nestor says.

They speak of having a life together, but for Julia the feelings are stale and only
The question "was Achilles' anger justified" brings up issues that seem to have little or no relevance to the war. In time of war I would expect the leaders to prioritize the groups interest for the sake of unity and cooperation rather than being entrenched in achieving their own personal goals. But my expectations are those of a modern day literature student, I'm inclined to think that the Greeks who first read this epic valued different things than myself. Another relevant question might be "were Achilles' actions justified". Anger can be easily justified, but the actions that anger might lead you to take are not as easily justified. Again I am not an ancient Greek and my opinions are irrelevant unless I open my mind to different viewpoints. Therefore I am striving to look into this issue through ancient Greek eyes where the principle of sacrificing ones own interests was apparently not valued, but maintaining ones honor, on the other hand, was greatly valued. In the following paragraphs I will attempt to answer these two aforementioned questions.
The Notebook (Cassavetes, 2004) is a love story about a young couple named Allie Hamilton and Noah Calhoun, who fall deeply in love with each other. The Hamilton’s are financially stable, and expect for their daughter Allie to marry someone with the same wealth. Noah on the other hand works as a laborer, and comes from an underprivileged family. Throughout the film there were several negative behaviors, and interpersonal communications within the context of their relationship, which relates to chapter nine. This chapter explores relationships, emphasizing on affection and understanding, attraction, and the power of a relationship. The focus of this paper is the interpersonal conflict with Noah, Allie and her mother, Anne Hamilton.
Julia had betrayed the Party before she met Winston by being a member of the Junior Anti-Sex League but having sex whenever she pleased. After they found out that Mr. Charrington betrayed them, Julia and Winston promised to each other that they would not betray each other no matter what happened. When Winston asked about Julia during his torturing O’Brien said “ She betrayed you, Winston. Immediately--unreservedly. I have seldom seen anyone come over to us so promptly. You would hardly recognize her if you saw her. All her rebelliousness, her deceit, her folly, her dirty-mindedness--everything has been burned out of her. It was a perfect conversion, a textbook case. (Orwell, 214)” Julia broke her promise to Winston and gave up on him before she had even gone through half the torturing he did. After Winston and Julia both got out of Ministry of Love they ran into each other and discovered that neither of them still loved each other which proved that Julia truly did betray Winston because she said “Confession is not betrayal. What you say or do doesn’t matter: only feelings matter. If they could make me stop loving you- that would be the real betrayal” (Orwell
was the accepted way of life in the Bronze Age, which is when Achilles lived.
She sees life in him and through his art, she is able to see G.P as someone just like her. She fantasizes about her life with him although he is 20 years older than her. Even though G.P is brutally honest she is still constantly thinking about how attractive that is to her because he holds dominance, and considers himself superior. No matter what, G.P. never wastes time and dedicates his life to art. She is into him in my ways but mainly because of the way he makes her feel. Miranda is attracted to him and sees him as her mentor in life. G.P. is a role model to Miranda because he shows her how to be free and express herself through art. Although the reader would think being brutally honest would push Miranda away from G.P., she actually enjoys it. She loves how he is intelligent, full of soul and passion and is not a lazy person. She realizes that she loves G.P. even more now, because she sees that love is love and there’s any barrier to love and accept someone in the way they are. G.P. is one of the main reasons in which she has her strength, she wants to get out and is hopeful because of him. Miranda starts evolving in a different way now, she is caught by her thoughts that is superior to anyone, and G.P. is the main inspiration for her. The age difference doesn’t seem to bother her. As the story progresses, Miranda is falling in love of G.P. every day and wants to be with him. Miranda starts to
In his classic work "Poetics" Aristotle provided a model of the tragic hero. According to Aristotle, the tragic hero is more admirable than the average person. This results in the tragic hero being admired by the audience. For the audience to accept a tragic ending as just, it is crucial that the tragic hero be responsible for their undoing. At the same time though, they must remain admired and respected. This is achieved by the tragic hero having a fatal flaw that leads to their undoing. One of literature's examples of the tragic hero is Achilles from Homer's The Iliad. However, Achilles is different from the classic tragic hero in one major way - his story does not end tragically. Unlike the usual tragic hero, Achilles is able to change, reverse his downfall, and actually prove himself as a true hero.
The main two people Juliette was able to make connections with were Adam Kent and Aaron Warner. Juliette developed bitterness towards Aaron Warner for many reasons. However, the main reason was because
In Homer’s epic, the Iliad, the legendary, has no two characters that are so similar yet so different as Greek warrior, Achilles, and the Prince of Troy, Hector. Achilles is the strongest fighter in the Greek side, and Hector is the strongest Trojan. They are both put into the mold of a hero that their respective societies have put them into; however; it is evident that they are both extremely complex characters with different roles within their society and with their families, and with the gods.
