His brother features summer and hasn’t faced any misery, while he himself looks like fall and has come across atrocious things.

Now with that out of the way let's go over his traits and personality, so he’s rude, cocky, arrogant, and rude from time to time. There is an example of him being selfish in “The Dark Knight” when Joker crashes his fundraiser for Harvey Dent, so Bruce goes to a private area because there’s a secret batcave there and two people ask to go in thinking that it is a safe room.

When anger is combined with ready access to high-damage coefficient weapons, the concern is that the expression of that anger could be fatal”(Boylan).

Culture has been shaped throughout history in various positive and negative ways. Gather at the Table explores the many ways that the past has shaped the culture of two people who come from very different places. The independent stories of Tom, who is a descendent of slave owners, and Sharon, a descendent of slaves, illustrates how much history affects the world view and everyday life of the two friends. The high contrast cultures of Tom and Sharon create cultural conflicts that are a result of their unique histories. Even though a lot of conflict is brought up between the histories of Tom and Sharon, similarities are also revealed throughout the duration of the book. The cultural differences and similarities are brought up through the people that Tom and Sharon meet along the way, through the experiences that the two explore together, and simply the prior knowledge of each others cultural backgrounds.

Leather straps tightly fastened over his body. Drool dripping down his shirt, soaking it. All you hear from him is “Ahhhhhhh”. He sits motionless in his wheelchair, looking “as dumb as a fencepost”.

Not only this, but the level of emotions humans feel are complex. The emotional complexity and feelings of people are also characteristics that form a border between human and monster. As well as the mental characteristics, the border begins to blur when the creature is observed. He appears to feel emotions on nearly the same complicated level as people. The single emotion he longs to feel is love or compassion, but the main emotion he feels is anger. This is only slightly different from humans, and it is because of the rejection the creature faces the entire novel. If the creature had been accepted by even Victor, the complexity of emotions of the creature would likely mirror that of a human child, although it would progress at a much quicker rate.

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.

As a young child I was taught that your rage was something that you had to control because if you lost control of it, that it could get you in a world of trouble. Yet don’t we all get this unhuman sense of rage that has to be released? In some form or has society deemed it ok as long as it is controlled.

(1\5) “Yet he suffocated his deepest fears and desires under a

Definition of Wrath: Although anger is biologically innate, wrath is an extreme form of this emotional response.

Throughout peoples’ lives they learn many valuable life lessons. One of those lessons can be about anger and how it can destroy you and everyone around you If you let it. Anger shows signs of frustration, with one state of mind of judgement. This individual lacks control of his/her emotions under extreme pressure which result in a weak character.

The characters must fit into the world that they are involved in and simultaneously have some impact on the actors. In Rage, the world that the director created around the actors was accurate for the information given about them. Paul McGuire, Cage’s character, was a reformed criminal that changed his ways to benefit his daughter. When his daughter, Caitlin, was kidnapped by what he believed to be people from his past, he returned to his old ways to seek revenge. The setting and background of Rage, made this aspect of the movie believable because he had a network of men to help him.
