More importantly, when Tima takes control of “Ziggurat” she murmurs with no emotion “I am a humanoid...a machine made to destroy the world... Not 'destroy'! 'Make again'!” The decision of Tima illustrates her dissatisfaction with her fate that her feeling and memories are getting deprived because it is cruel for an intellectual creature to live without emotions. Indeed, she did not choose to rebuild the society; however, she wants to destroy it because she has emotions and she can express her struggle through her actions. With confusion, pain, hatred, and anger she fuses with “Ziggurat” and destroys the whole world. When Kenichi grabs Tima as she is going to fall into the abyss Tima has a flashback of their first meeting “I'm Ken-ichi. Who are you? …show more content…
'No, no, no... you call yourself 'I'.” She looks at Kenichi and asks “Ken-ichi! I am... who?” and ends her life. The despair and doubt in Tima’s eyes at the end suggests that Tima has found her identity as a human, yet her belief has been crushed. Therefore, the truth is she has never found out what she really is. When she let go of Kenichi’s hands indicates that without knowing who she is, what it the meaning of living. Hence, Otomo criticises that humans despise their own emotions and only want to seek for authority, while robots are perusing to become a human where they can express their emotions and be respected. Science and technology bring human convenience; humans should show appreciation for their contribution. When science is not being respected then it has the ability to eradicate the world. The film emphasizes the importance of being grateful toward technology, and giving hope that humans can be kind to others, and also be generous to

Throughout the story Tim faced internal conflict as he struggled with doing what's right. When Tim realized father was gone and was thinking to himself, “So I asked myself another question: what would father do?” page 121. Even though Tim idolizes Sam he
This is shown on page 35 when Tim said, “ Sam made it seem that he was right, and that Father was wrong.” He trusts Sam and wants to be exactly like him one day. He and Sam have a special bond that will always make Tim love Sam. On page 145 Tim says, “ When the British had all the things in the house they set it on fire. I infer that Tim looks terrified so he believes that the British are wrong.
They met in middle school here at Jefferson. She didn't like him at the time because Tim came to school smelling like manure and she thought farmers were gross. When high school came, they dated for a very long time. They are married now. She has influenced him in more than a few ways. One of the ways she impacted Tim was, she helped make him the best he could be. She influenced him to stay in school and she also keeps an eye out for him. She is his partner in crime. A second impact in Tim's childhood, was his brother, Ted. When he and his siblings were all around middle school age, all the boys had to help move a few of the farm tractors to Tim's farm. Ted didn't want to help that day, but Tim needed his help. He told him he had to and so Ted listened. When Ted was driving the tractor, he took too hard of a turn. It tipped over and he passed away. This impacted Timothy a lot. He blamed the accident all on him and has still yet to forgive himself. He doesn't break out of his shell very often anymore to have a good time because of what happened around 20 years ago. He has gone to a medium with his wife, Lindsey to talk to Ted. Ted told him to have fun more often and play jokes on his family. He even told him to get a tattoo. Tim's third impact was his Grandpa Cota. His grandpa taught him how to do everything on the farm. His grandpa was the person that inspired him to become a farmer and own his own farm. Tim's grandpa was one of the biggest people in Tim's life growing up. His Grandpa Cota was his inspiration and role

This chapter has a lot of focus on a number of different themes in the book but the thing that i saw had the largest impact in describing Tim’s outlook on death and violence is when he talks about the death of Curt Lemon. In the beginning of the chapter Rat is writing a letter to Curt’s sister. Tim says that it was a great letter and Rat couldn’t write it without bawling his eyes out but in this letter it describes that Curt was a great man and a great friend to many people. It helps to give us a picture of the meaning that Curt had to everyone and gives a great value on his life and worth. By the end of this chapter it tells about how he died. It describes that Rat and Curt were talking and walking by this tree and Curt took a half step onto a booby trap and it blew him up into the tree that he was standing by. Tim and Dave Jensen were ordered to go clean Curt off of the tree. Again we see an instance of joking around about a close friend that has just died when Dave was singing “Lemon Tree”. This goes to show us again that war will take the value of life
This decision was strongly influenced by his hero at the Tip Top Lodge, a man named Elroy. When Tim was on the coast of the Rainy River, he met Elroy, his savior “The man who opened the door that day is the hero of my life.” This man named Elroy, was not much of a talker, yet he did enough to comfort Tim. This man knows what Tim has gone through, and it is possible that he has been through something similar. Elroy could also represent Tim’s future.
“There’s no need to be frightened, Tituba. Misfortune, as you know, is our constant companion. We are born with it, we lie with it, and we squabble with it for the same breast. It eats the codfish from our calabash. But we’re tough, us n*****s!
Trudi is the town’s librarian and informant. She knew everything that happened in the small town and takes it upon herself to remind others of the truths they would rather forget, “She knew everything. As soon as it happened. Before it happened” (20). Trudi fell from her mother’s arms as a child and most people in the small town believed that the fall caused her “stunted growth”. The accident ruined her mother’s saneness and was eventually admitted into an asylum and thus Trudi was raised by her father. Trudi is a representation of a simple person who refuses to set back by what people think about her or her physical appearance. Her appearance has been used to give numerous warnings to children against doing things considered wrong, “… fragments of warnings, they had come together to form the essence of one woman” (27). Maybe her appearance led her to leave a lonely life. Trudi did not have a wedding, husband or children which translate to a lonely personal life. This could be the reason why she was occupied in the town’s gossip to fill the void that lack of love and affection left. However, the major highlight was the encounter by the river. Hegi used this scene to show how Trudi’s life was in general, in that; one episode of “love” could make her feel different about herself.
While Tom and Mrs. Trask did not hold the gift of Timshel in themselves, Cal does. Although he suffers from a long term, inner battle with good and evil, Lee is there to show his his true potential and the Timshel inside of him. When he confesses to his father, stating that he “did it” and he’s “responsible for the Aron’s death and” his fathers “sickness” (Steinbeck 595) he questions the good in him. While Lee does not come right out and tell him he’s a good man he makes his father tell him, proving to Cal his true potential. After Lee pesters Adam, while he’s on his deathbed, he utters his last words “Timshel”, giving Cal the freedom he deserves. Although the later actions of Cal are unaware, it can be inferred that he prevails, due to his earlier actions when he’s in such a situation. Proving overall that Timshel is inside of him.
Individuals need to recognize their attributes in order to grow from them in other situations. Eventually Tim can become who he wishes he was, able to do what he wants without caring what others think of him. But at some point he has to let go of his first really big regret and that will allow him to finally move on and show himself
In the chapter “The man I killed” Tim starts describing the dead man’s characteristics. Some things he mentioned was “ His jaw was in his throat, his upper lip and teeth were gone, his one eye was shut, his other eye was a star-shaped hole…”(172). Throughout the whole chapter, he cannot accept what he has done. He starts to imagine what the boy’s life was like and says he would have great future. So Kiowa tells him not to be so hard on himself because that was how a war was.
BR depicts the hunger of mankind to break the barriers of humane principle and intrinsic concepts of nature. The extended irony in the film paradoxically gifts the artificial
The emotions caused by his struggle cause him to do hurtful things to the people he loves. Cal knowing that his brother is fragile takes him to see their prostitute mother which ultimately causes Aron to snap. Lee sees Cal struggle because Cal doesn’t want to do these horrible things but feels it’s his fate. Lee presents the idea of timshel to show Cal that he can do whatever he chooses to do because he has free will. If Cal doesn’t want to be like his mother he doesn’t have to be because it is his life and he decides his
