Chrysalids Group Seminar

At first, Anne was terrified to go into hiding but her positivity and hope showed and taught many people lessons on how you should look at life. Anne had such a big influence on the people who read her diary. The play that was constructed off of her diary writings really lets us understand how and what Anne was feeling along with the others in the house. The Franks in addition to their friends, had people who helped them out while they were in hiding. This is one reason why Anne would have thought that people were really good at heart. One prime example is Miep Gies. She helped the Franks even though she was not faithful in the Jewish religion. Meip replenished everyone in the group by bringing them what they needed. She had a well thought out tactic that helped her be able to bring supplies to the secret annex. She never gave up on them and helped them through their entire hiding. This shows that people may not believe in the same things as you, but deep in their heart, they are willing to help anyone in need. The group of people hiding in the secret annex was in need, they had no way of getting food or any other supplies. This is where Miep came in to help them. She brought them the food, plus all of the supplies that they needed, therefore, making them live much longer than they should have. In the play, you could tell how happy the family was to see her. On page 326, we read, “Thank you, Miepia. You shouldn’t have done it.” this was

Sophecles's play Antigone shows that loyalty can be a horrible thing. Loyalty to one person does not always end up in a good way, Antigone's loyalty to her brother, Haimon's loyalty to Antigone, and the peoples' loyalty to Creon are all examples of how loyalty can go wrong. There is one thing to learn from Antigone, be careful who you are loyal

In the book “House of the Red Fish”, one of the recurring themes is loyalty. For example,

This relates to loyalty because it shows how Elizabeth expects John to

To begin with, betrayal is a strong emotion that can lead to hatred and more emotions. Kantorek talks the boys into joining the war because he thought that it would be fun and a good experience for them. Another way of betrayal can be the unspoken kind like how when the boys first go to the front they find coffins and they think that the government has little hopes for people to survive. The final way of betrayal is physical betrayal like when the boys beat up Himmelstoss just because they did not like how he treated them. For all those reasons is why I think that betrayal is a strong emotion that can overwhelm someone with hate.

In this essay you will learn the definition of the word “Loyalty” and also see some examples about how loyalty is used many different situations in the book called “House of the Red Fish”. The definition of loyalty is “The quality of being loyal to someone or something”. The examples of royalty would be trying to hold a promise even though it is tough, treating people that you don’t like with respect, and helping others because you care for them. One example of loyalty from the book (House of the Red Fish) is that Nakaji family had lived on the Wilson’s property and weren’t treated nicely and they hated them but the Nakaji family still gave the Wilson’s some of their eggs. Another time that showed royalty was the time the Keet Wilson had ripped the fish kites but they had treat them with respect and did not do that again.

Loyalty in friendship is shown through the faithfulness of the characters. Robien, a faire had stayed faithful to Kaye after the day he met her. When the Unseelie court faire had come back and wanted Robien back he said, " I am home, lady. Now tell your men to put down his weapon and I will allow you to leave Unseelie court unharmed." (Black 325) Robien was very actuated to the

The goal for many writers is to depict a specific understanding of human nature, and in many cases a discussion of the concept of friendship and loyalty is explored. Friendship, in literature refers to a relationship of mutual trust and understanding between two or more individuals, whereas loyalty denotes to one’s faithfulness to a commitment or obligation. Although both friendship and loyalty can add meaning to one’s life, it is arguable as to whether the addition of the two qualities is truly advantageous. King Lear, one of Shakespeare’s greatest tragedies is a play about a king who descends into madness after being betrayed by his daughters who faked their loyalty. Similarly, Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men also explores the concept of friendship

Just one person cannot determine the concept of loyalty. Loyalty has many different aspects to different people in different settings. Some people choose loyalty over everything in difficult situations. Depending on the relationship to the person, loyalty could be more important than anything else. Through three different pieces of literature: “The Story of an Hour”, “Everyday Use”, and the play “Tiffles” the reader is able to examine how actions, time, and understanding all make for different acts of loyalty.

Strong relationships are essential for people to be their happiest, and live life to the fullest. They shape us and our perspectives on the world and influence how we see others. When we betray or lie to those in close relationships with us, it can ultimately lead to destruction. In the novel The Kite Runner, author Khaled Hosseini explores the main character, Amir, and the effects of dishonesty and betrayal on his relationships with those who are dear to him. Hosseini examines the way dishonesty and betrayal can damage valuable connections through Amir’s relationships with Baba, Hassan and Sohrab.

Loyalty and betrayal are two qualities that conflict, yet they must be shown in conjunction time to highlight one another. A person cannot show one quality without showing the other; to prove complete loyalty, one must betray another in a sense. Before one can be completely loyal, he must first pay the price of betrayal to another. Before acting on one's thought, one must consider the different outcomes each would bring. In William Shakespeare's Macbeth, loyalty and betrayal are shown in abundance.

In the poem Beowulf the trait of loyalty is shown when Grendel’s mother goes to seek revenge on the Danes for the killing of her son. “Where the Danes slept through already dead . Her visit ended the good fortune, the bright vain of their luck.” (Beowulf 55). This represents loyalty in the relationship aspect because Grendel’s mother is seeking revenge on those who killed her son.

Some people know what it feels like to be betrayed, and some people know what it’s like to betray others.Betrayal comes in different forms and it’s seen in a variety of different relationships. Marriages, friendships, affiliations between different companies, parents-to-children relationships can all be affected by betrayals. But one place where betrayal is exemplified the most is in literature. In literature, betrayal represents a huge conflict in the plot, and even if it’s not the most important conflict it will still contribute to the meaning of the work as a whole; the scar's betrayal leaves behind will never fully heal unless you completely forgive and forget the incident or until you receive forgiveness and you forget as well.

someone’s back even though they might’ve stabbed you in yours. When you have loyalty, you don’t leave someone just because they said something mean about you or you heard something from someone else. They might have hurt you, or you might’ve gotten into an argument, but at the end of the day you will always be best friends. When you have loyalty is doesn’t matter what they said or what they did, you love them anyway. Similarly, how Romeo and Juliet get married behind their parents’ backs. Also, how when Romeo thought that Juliet was dead, he went and got a poison and killed himself. Another example is when Tybalt kept his loyalty to the Capulet family by killing Mercutio.

you think loves you. Betrayal is an act of selfishness and breaking one’s faith in you. We see betrayal in much of today's popular shows, books, movies. For example, in the movie Fate of the Furious we see Dominic betray his friends and his girlfriend, he wants to look and see his son for the first time, which he had with his former girlfriend. Both his son and former girlfriend are being kept hostage, and in order to free them he has to betray his friends and present girlfriend and complete a task gathering nuclear codes. Betrayal is a very strong theme in this play and occurs more than once. The notorious prince and his mother the queen, indeed had a close relationship during the early days of the play. But soon after two months the Queen had married Claudius (old Hamlet’s brother). Hamlet had looked at this as a sign of betrayal, which ultimately, permanently damaged his and Gertrude’s relationship. He taunted his mother with derogatory phrases like, “to post with such dexterity to incestuous sheets” (1-2-15), and “frailty, thy name is woman” (1-2-14). He was in disgust and disappointment, that his very own flesh would do such a thing. Shakespeare wrote a lot about betrayal in many other plays. In Macbeth betrayal also persisted as a theme when Macduff arrives to collect Duncan as previously ordered. Macduff finds out and discovers that Duncan’s murder was an act of betrayal, “ring the
