Bruce Filters-Personal Narrative

After walking in on his sub cheating on him with the security guard, Taden McIntire had decided it was time to make a change. He wanted to have a life where he didn’t hate himself at the end of the day like he did working on Wall Street. Reading an advertisement for new entrepreneurs in the small southern town of Cedar Falls, Taden decided to roll the dice and move.

As Bruce Pike finds himself caught between guilt and sympathy, he struggles with conflicting emotions. In the climax of the prank, Bruce spoke internally, revealing a mix of confusion at how to handle the situation, “couldn’t I for God’s sake stop asking questions and just get on with doing something.” Tim Winton expertly captures this internal struggle through Bruce's introspective thoughts, revealing the intricate layers of his character. While the insensitive prank played by Ivan Loon caused Bruce guilt, Bruce's internal dialogue reveals a hint of amusement, and a reflection of the humorous beginning to their friendship “I realized it was more fun to pull this prank than it was to stand by while someone else did it. I began to feel more guilt than glee.”

The front door chimed at Theron & Son’s Tuxedo Shop as the proud African-American Mr Hayden Lewis was trailed by his aloof muscular college freshman son, Jayden. Jayden’s only sibling, Cassie, was to get married the next morning; he just flown-in for her wedding against his feelings to her soon-to-be husband.

At the age of seven, Bruce said that his greatest desire was to see his father, who was a soldier in Rhodesia. Since his father was in the army, he was never there for his son; as a consequence Bruce had trouble building relationships with those around him for the majority of his young adulthood. However, he experienced a drastic change in his forties, where he finally got married and had two children. This was the first time in his life that Bruce appeared to be genuinely happy and content. Bruce loved his children dearly and he “Just [wanted] to protect [his] kids from everything that could harm them”. He even sacrificed his dream to be an international cricket player to take care of them. Although he never actually got to build a relationship with his own father, he built a loving and supportive relationship with his own kids. Looking at how much he valued having a close relationship with his father at age seven was very reflective of how much he valued his family at age forty

“Emergency code 10-48, suspect is a 6’1 male, black hoodie, armed and last seen fleeing towards Gray Street”, the radio roars. I’m on Gray Street. The last thing I want on my first month in the force is a damn killer in my face.

Bruce Wayne playboy millionaire. Everyone in Gotham knew his name. He saw his parents die when he was eight they were walking thru what's now known as crime alley. Every one in Gotham knew the story and every one knew of his two boys Richard Grayson and Jason Todd. Orphans both of them Richard's parents died when he was eight in a circus act and Jason's nobody really knows he didn't talk about them much before he died. Poor boy really some sickness they said he got from living on the streets.

The sun began to creep up behind the towering pine trees as I sip on my torrid coffee. I glance at my watch which reads 5:45 am, I gather my tackle box that's overflows with hooks and line and stick in underneath the damp boat seat. The water glistens in the morning sunlight, I aboard the scent of pine needles which is always prominent the crisp air of Northern Wisconsin.

I agree with you in your response to question three. The situation went on way too long. After the janitor was told not to come by the room and he then did it again, I would have called him in and issued a written reprimand for his personnel file.

The anxiety within him gets the best of him. It began from the beginning when he knew he had to keep his secret to himself. In the beginning early signs pointed in the direction Bruce didn’t want for her daughter, she began dressing different and acting different from a normal girl. Bruce knew that it was his fault from the beginning. From the information we learn

I look across the room and watch her wih her friends laughing and carrying on. I cannot help but notice she is flirting with tht young man with long hair. I almost feel like she is doing it to get a rise out of me. Her head turns my way and I get lost in her sapphire eyes. So pretty, her eyes framed by her lashes. I could literally stare all day but I reluctantly tare my gaze away. I walk away with my dinner in hand. I really want to say and talk with her like everyone else but it would be wrong. I wonder if she remembers anything. By the way she always looks so deeply into my eyes I know she feels it too. But I want to know if she remembers it I should send her a memory.

When i was in 7th grade i met a 6'5 lady named shannon. She impacted my life for the 2 years i got to know her. Shannon was not only a giant but a gentle giant, she had glowing personality, kind heart, everything about her is what i strive to be.

The night was another quiet one , the morning even more quiet . No more family sit downs at the table , just coffee brewed from whoever wakes up first and help yourself to breakfast. I sat outside the porch with my coffee , first day of October with the fall feeling in the air , I was looking at nothing , I pulled out my cell phone and decided it was time to tell Trever my input on who is doing this. I heard his phone ringing , but it went straight to voice mail , I left a long message explaining everything , hoping this will get him to look into her.

As we learn more about Bruce as an individual, it becomes more apparent that he is carrying a great deal of shame. The reader can only assume that this shame Bruce seems to carry with himself stems from his sexuality as a gay man who is pretending to be the picture perfect husband and father. Meanwhile, he’s having affairs with teenage neighbor boys and continues to keep his sexuality a secret. Bruce’s reserved and temperamental nature is attributed to the fact that he’s had to keep his sexuality a secret because of his upbringing in a society where homosexuality is considered a shame. Elaborate b/c that is a big idea.

The boy, who was named Bruce after Bruce Wayne, Billy's favourite superhero, had turned out nothing like his father. Instead, he was a hard, faced, stoic businessman with a wife and two kids, the paragon of Americanisation and a fine product of American capitalism. When he was first born, Billy wanted to call him Dark, Dark Knight but to his relief his partner had stopped him. Billy was still resentful of that, he thought perhaps if they had called him that the boy would have become the next Batman. And they might've been able to sue DC Comics for taking his name.

It made us feel sympathy for Bruce because he was a good guy that thought his girlfriend loved him. We, as human beings, have been in situations similar to his. We have been in situations where we were deceived and thought to have a connection with a significant other, but that person did not have the mutual connection.
