Conflict In The Squid And The Whale

Bernard and Joan decide to set more time aside to spend time with their children. Joan has an affair with Ivan, who is Frank’s tennis coach. After Joan and Bernard decide to separate, Bernard told Walt and Frank that Joan had several boyfriends during the course of their marriage. Walt was disgusted by this, and decided not to speak with Joan. Bernard eventually begins to date one of his students, Lili. Walt and Frank begin to choose what parents they want to live with. Frank decides to spend time with his mother, and Walt decides to spend time with his father.

You wait for them to ask you. And if they don’t…you act unconcerned.” (Dorris, 18). Bernard’s mother gives a full explanation on how to act when he is being judged by Marie’s mother, Blanche, and her sister. In past society, it is the role of the bride to impress her future in-laws by showing the family that she can cook, clean, and carry out all household duties. However, in this case, Bernard is taught what to say and how to react when he goes hunting. From this, it can be seen that his masculine personality is in question as he must listen to whatever anyone tells him. His rights of speaking and committing actions are prohibited as he must show respect and humbleness towards his future in-laws. Moreover, he must respect his family’s tradition and culture by not speaking or raising an voice to people. As time progresses, Bernard matures and realizes that he must carry out his family traditions and must be selected by Blanche. He compliments Blanche’s food as a teaching to impress her. He says “This is wonderful…The best I’ve ever tasted. What cooks are you. But you are too generous. Let me put some back in the pot.” (Dorris, 21). This exemplifies how Bernard decides to mature as a person by knowing what to say without his mother’s teachings. He begins to value his culture and traditions by complimenting Blanche on the food and showing proper etiquette when eating. Through this, it is portrayed that men in the society

This is mainly because society isolated him and that had a huge effect on his character and he can be pitied because of that. He is very selfish when he throws John into society and uses him for his own satisfaction but yet he can be sympathised with because of his selfishness. In a desperate attempt to become normal in society he calls John the "Savage" like everyone else and treats him with the same level of disrespect. John therefore loses respect for Bernard, which is a change from the first opinion he had of Bernard - which was that he was different like himself, to someone that was just the same as the others and not worth his time. That is known when John does not appear at Bernard's party and Bernard's unhappiness and anguish afterwards is known in these lines,

In the film Big Fish the major external conflict is that the bond between Will and Edward is very unstable and Will has lost trust in him. This is show so many times throughout the film through quotes, transitions, and symbolism. First of all a good showing of this conflict is when Josephine asks Will if he hates his father, he simply does not reply because at this point in time he is trying to figure that out himself. Through transitions we can see this because when Will is near his father he is darkened out whilst his father is lit up, showing dark versus light, bad versus good, and lack of knowledge versus knowledge. Finally another way this conflict is shown is through symbolism. After Will confronts Edward about his stories being lies

Walter seems to be overcome with a search for power and a drive to become wealthy and leave the life of being a worker behind him. It also shows that he cares for his family seeing how he is striving to give them the best, but that aspect is overshadowed by his greed. I feel the scene also shows the Younger family at its lowest point in the movie. Walter is on the complete edge and is thinking of stealing a community's money and the rest of the family, besides Momma, seemed to lose their faith and trust in him. When things seemed hopeless with the loss of the money, they only became worse as a loss in more than money occurred. A loss in their character, faith, history, and respect for each other overcame the family, particularly Walter and Beneatha. Nevertheless, Momma soon sets Beneatha straight with an emotional and positive speech about how there is "always something left to love" and sets the standard that the family should adhere to. It marks the turning point at the end of the movie

David Kirby’s book describes the complex issues of whales in captivity. The death of a SeaWorld trainer brought up many objective reasons of the training practices of this business were not effective at keeping trainers safe in the water. Currently this debate is still being tested in a court of law. OSHA claims that even with the precautions that SeaWorld tries to use, it still cannot guarantee the safety of trainers in the water. This cultural topic has been gaining ground, and recently prompted a movie based off this book titled, Blackfish. The audience of this book includes animal activists, followers of David Kirby, and people that are interested in the topic of killer whales in captivity. Rob Grom was contracted to create a book

In conclusion, Bernard is interested in pursuing his personal desires, instead of conforming to society because he doesn’t like the way society is and what it is restricting people from.

Walter’s mother comes in the room when he receives the terrible news and asks, “ Son… is it gone? All of it? Beneatha’s money too?” which soon leads to Walter Lee’s admittance of the loss saying, “I never went to the bank at all… Yes...All of it… It’s all gone, ”soon ensuring his beating from his mother (Hansberry 561). When the family finds out about this tragedy, the instant instinct of all of the family members was to blame it all on Walter Lee, accusing him of being the reason they will not achieve their dreams. The family does not stop to think about the pain and embarrassment Walter is going through and Lena, the mother of the family, is quick to bring this up saying, “Have you cried for that boy today? I don’t mean for yourself or for the family cause we lost the money. I mean for him: what he been through and what it done to him… Make sure you done taken into account what hills and what valleys he come through before he got to wherever he is,” ensuring that no one person in the family could blame Walter for the deferral of their dreams due to the loss of their money (Hansberry 573). The family has one goal each of them selfishly wants. Each has a different plan they desire with the money they are going to acquire, such as when Beneatha says she plans to become a doctor. The family knows this will be a costly choice and Walter is quick to say, “Have we figured out yet just how much that medical

Walter believes that the meaning of life is about finical circumstances. With money, Walter believe that life will be much better and they would be happier. Contrary, Mama views freedom as the meaning of life.

Walter has changed his whole family. He has started so much conflict with all his family. His family at this rate will be better off without him. “You ain’t looked at it yet and you don’t aim to speak on that again? You ain’t looked at it and you have decided-well, you tell that to my boy tonight when you put him to sleep on the living room couch.” This just shows how much he wants to have HER money for himself because he is selfish and a shallow person. He is the reason why the family is tearing apart. Also, Walters actions show how edgy and inpatient he is. (Violently flinging the coat after her) He starts to get very violent, he flings things, slams doors, yells at mama, and starts to get verbally abusive towards her. He doesn’t know how to let things go and how to think in another person’s perspective. He only wants to do what he wants, he doesn’t care what the other family members want he just knows what he wants to get and forces the decision upon them all.

On January 2nd 2056 squidward is sitting at the krusty krab taking orders for customers like usually does. There were a lot of people coming in getting food. Sponge Bob was back in the back cooking krabby patties. He was slammed this is the worse day they have ever had. He had called his buddy patrick in to help put the condiments on. Sponge Bob was cooking then Mr. krabs walked in and had said keep up the good work lads. It was past there lunch time then things slowed down a little bit. Patrick had ate a patty right off the grill and burn his tongue and Sponge Bob was just laughing then squidward said keep it down back there.

When Bernard is exiled to Iceland he is unhappy and decides to go the reservation even when told he shouldn’t. When in London his popularity increases and takes advantage of his new status. He used his new status to get to women, but those women were promised that they would get to meet John through knowing Bernard. Also with being exiled Bernard becomes more independent and individualized. “And then he spends most of his time by himself—alone." There was horror in Fanny's voice.”(pg 35) This is the beginning of where Bernard’s defining feature is a downfall and a virtue. It defines his virtue because it makes an individual to be alone. It’s also a downfall because it makes him insecure and manipulative to John.

Walter's frustration festers and his anger turns inward towards his family who, in Walters eyes, do not understand him. Walter's family members do understand him and they also want to amass material dreams, but Walter's family members know that it is going to take work to get there.

Bernard tries explaining how he wants to be free, have his own individuality, and have his own ability to think and feel; not like everyone else, but like himself. He also explains how he wants to be happy, truly happy. He feels that in the World State, and because of his conditioning, this can never happen. Lenina’s response enables the audience to see how much she’s been brainwashed, showing how powerful the state is.

One aspect of the play is trust. Bernard has to trust the housekeeper and Robert because they help him hide his fiancées from each other. For example, Robert has to make excuses to cover up Bernard’s secrets. This shows that Robert is trustworthy and is willing to help Bernard. Another aspect is the
