Another aspect of The Odd Couple that is never completely resolved but can be highly interpreted is that the two main characters change their personalities throughout the show, and become less of their archetypes. The two men start as rather polar opposites, with Felix being feminine and scar being masculine. By the end of the play, the characters are no longer so far away from the center

Carl Jung, the very first pioneer who discovered human collective unconsciousness, including archetypes, once said, “An archetype is something like an old watercourse along which the water of life flowed for a time, digging a deep channel for itself. The longer it flowed the deeper the channel, and the more likely it is that sooner or later the water will return.” An archetype is the universal patterns and behaviors that represent a typical human experience that is passed down from generations to generations, creating its originality. In “A Separate Peace”, John Knowles uses many archetypes to enrich the personality of his characters, especially Gene and Finny based on common human experiences. By embodying the archetypes of the Fall from Innocence, the Unhealable, and the Crossroads in “A Separate Peace,” John Knowles was successful in establishing the theme for the novel which implies that the guilt which is begotten from one’s deceitful actions would remain as an irrecoverable wound overtime.
In Homers epic poem “The Odyssey” there are many archetypes, many of which were the origin of the archetype. An archetype is a character type, place, or symbol, every culture shares. In “The Odyssey” Homer uses archetypes to evoke meaning to the story. Some examples of archetypes in “The Odyssey” are the temptress, and the father-son conflict.
In Rudulfo Anaya’s novel of Bless Me, Ultima, many of Antonio’s observations are seen as “magical” because of his parent’s influential culture which has an effect on how he uses magic as an explanation for unfamiliar things. For example, Antonio wonders, “Perhaps, like the dream said, the waters of the river had washed his soul away,” (27). This shows that Antonio believed that Lupito’s soul had been washed away after he killed the sheriff, signifying that the river has the power to do that such thing as to wipe someone away.
In the short story, “A Good Man Is Hard to Find,” by Flannery O’Connor uses situational, symbolic, setting, and character archetypes to prove her point. First of all she used the situational archetype of a regular family going on vacation. We can tell what is going on through the family’s arguments about their choice of destination. The narrator supports God or Jesus as a form of symbolic archetypes trough the voice of the grandmother. She declares that good men do exist and that all they need is to pray. Additionally, Flannery O’Connor uses the setting archetype of light vs. darkness when the family encounters themselves troubling in a “perfect” day. Perfection is nonexistent therefor we can detect foreshadowing disturbance to come. Furthermore,
In order to fully ascertain the gravity of negative archetypes, it is important to explore a common one. Donald Bogle is a film historian and lecturer at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University. Bogle has authored a book entitled Coons, Mulattoes, Mammies, and Bucks: An Interpretive History of Blacks, in which he outlines a few of cinemas most infamous black architypes.

Smoke Signals and Arrow of God have similar archetypes, patterns of conflict and philosophies. Events after each protagonist’s birth are considered unusual, requiring the heroes to leave home and confront their egos. Along the way the protagonist’s each face patterns of conflict. With each heroes return the individual has been ‘reborn’ psychologically. Both heroes are affected by decolonization; therefore stoicism is prominent throughout the two tales.

My favorite scene in the book is in chapter 11, during Halloween, when Penelope told Junior that she was going trick or treat to ask for only spare change tonight instead, of candy, and give the spare change to the homeless. Suddenly, Junior suggested, “Why don’t we pool more money tomorrow and send it together? We’d be able to give twice as much.” (page: 78) Later, Junior goes trick or treating, and he asked for spare change and some even gave him spare change and candy. However, there were lots of people that slammed their doors on him. “When walking home, three guys jumped him. They were wore Frankenstein masks and shoved him to the ground and started to kick him a few times. Mostly they just wanted to remind me that I was a traitor. And
In the United States there are many different motorcycle clubs; The Hell’s Angels, Pagans, Mongols, Outlaws, and Bandidos are some of the motorcycle clubs that ride the roads of America. One of the more notable ones are the Pagans who are known for not just riding their bikes but for their rivalry with the Hells Angels. Lou Dobkin, the creator, made the club in 1959.

Once there was a woman who told a story. However, she had more than just an entertaining tale to tell. She chose common images that everyone would understand, and she wrapped her story around them, and in this way she was able to teach the people . . .
She has very long dreams and always tells a lengthy description at breakfast. Since she is only eight, she says she is looking forward to getting a bicycle when she turns nine. She bickers occasionally with Jonas because they are siblings, but they always make up, because they live in a perfect world. When the family starts taking care of Gabriel, she becomes attached to him and it is clear she would be a good nurturer, just like her father. She also has a stuffed “comfort object” that is an elephant.
In my point of view, the boy was not prepared for his adventure to unknown. Even though he was shepherd who traveled everywhere near his hometown, he did not encounter any city where they speak deferent language or a new culture. One reason supporting my idea, he went to a new continent that he does not know anything about it even what language they speak. In the other hand, the boy learned a lot from his mistakes so he did not give up and continued his journey, “I am an adventurer, looking for treasure”(42) the boy said to himself. He started working to gain some money for his journey to Egypt. After that, he went to caravan where people are grouping for a trip to Egypt. That means the boy felt that he is ready to explore the unknown although
