In this novel one thing that I found interesting was transformation of Sal Paradise from a person who first followed then turned into “the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved”(5), people who lived in the moment and did whatever they like to do . At the begging of the novel, he had life of a regular writer from New York, who only dreamed about wild adventures but could not act. Everything changes then moment he meets Dean Moriarty. Even though Dean was a con-man, in Sal’s eyes he was “the holy con-man with shining mind” (5) - a hero. One could call Dean a trickster from picaresque stories, who doesn’t follow social rules and morals, and tricks others in order to survive. However, he didn’t steal to get rich. Sal admired

He was ashamed, arrogant, and guilty.

Even the author undergoes an incredible change from the beginning of the story, and through the trials and tribulations, he becomes an almost completely different person. Although there were more situations in which this particular change was exhibited, I feel that these represented it to the most acute degree.
There are two sides to the same coin. Love through kindness versus harshness, crime through necessity versus greed, coping through anger versus isolation. The Book Thief’s characters compliment each other through their parallels and differences. It is run by a concept of ‘differences yet similarity’ and shows the reader that the world is run by this consistent theme.

This was a good characteristic because this rage was able to make him almost over come with this mysterious power. Also Adam cares about other in crisis.

Like many other stories despite the novel’s appalling plot, some of the most prominent characters represent a somewhat Christ-like exemplary figure in some given manner. A prime example, for instance, is Psyche’s appearance to

In the story Lest We Remember there is an average man named John. He has a fiance and works at a firm. He was, like Charly, given an oppurtunity to be smarter. He soon had an injection and was given a whole other view to the world around him. He is suddenly above average and what started as a harmless gig to impress the people around him, has spung out of control. He is remembering small bits of things said, saying, “ There are no secrets. Things just seem secret because people don’t remember. If you can recall every remark, every comment, every stray word made to you or in your hearing and consider them all in combination, you find that everyone gives himself away in everthing”. In the end he keeps his intelligence, but learns how to use it effectivly and under the
His use of literary devices, including that of allusion and imagery, point-of-view, and symbolism primes the stage for the narrator’s transformation from a manipulated identity to the pragmatic and careful person that finds himself to be a man who is ‘invisible.’
This Side of Paradise describes the struggling life of Amory Blaine from having great fun until he became of age to discover the world and experienced different life problems towards how he has changed.

This robbery is completely out of character for the mild-mannered narrator and increasingly associates him with his dissociative state and prevents him from maintaining his individuality. Other characters in the novel would normally blame the narrator’s disturbing conduct on Tyler, but the narrator only has himself to blame for his actions. Once again, the narrator fully recognizes his issues and his sudden shift in behavior as the negative facet of his split personality.

Outwardly, people may view this as hypocrisy, but Carl Jung writes, “When an individual makes an attempt to see his shadow, he becomes aware of (and often ashamed of) those qualities and impulses he denies in himself but can
