Immediately as the speech begins, Henry’s tone manifests itself and remains unwavering. Henry begins, “It is natural for a man to indulge in the illustration of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth” (1). This sheds insight on his message and portrays him as a well versed individual. He then strengthens his tone when he says

But he might have drawn back because the shadows on his face are deep as holes. There are two shadows curved like little hooks around the ends of his smile, as if to frame it and try to keep it there— that one, first smile that looked like it might have hurt his face" (Erdrich, 111). The shadows in the photo signified Henry 's bleak outlook and attempted to conceal his true feelings through the darkness.

Looking at the plot of the story, one can see that the story deals with a psychological conflict. Before Henry had left for the Vietnam War he and Lyman had a close relationship and since coming back he changed significantly because of what he saw and experienced. Lyman explains, “Once I was in the room watching TV with Henry and I heard his teeth click at something. I looked over and he’d bitten through his lip. Blood was going down his chin” (Erdrich 129). This example shows how Henry is dealing with the post war stress and how he cannot get what he went through out of his head. As he sits and watches the replaying war videos, he is unable to get past that he can live again and go back to the way things were because psychologically he is still at war and fighting.

Many people wish they knew their loved ones or friends better before they died. This was the same with Elizabeth Stone the author of the article Grief in the Age of Facebook. She discusses a student she advised, Casey Feldman, and states how, after Casey was tragically killed, little she actually knew about Casey. Stone knew that she was smart and all around a nice person but she did not know that she had an immense love for animals or that she was quite talented at acting. However, that was not the only thing that surprised her, the thing that surprised Stone the most is how she found out Casey had died. She received a voicemail from Casey’s roommate, Kelsey, asking Stone to call her back at Stone’s easiest convenience. Stone calls Kelsey

This shows how he wasn’t afraid of no one who dare to fight him or wanted to. This is how brave a man should be he should be fearless, and show his strength. Never show the enemies your weakness try to prove them wrong by confronting them. He also shows a positive attitude it can be seen again in Act one scene four when a guy makes fun of the size of his nose and he responds by quoting

“I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet.When far away an interrupted cry. Came over houses from another street. But not to call me back or say good-bye,” from “Acquainted With the Night” shows that the character is looking for a sign for him to look back but it was not

Just this sentence shows how much Joseph has developed and matured as a person throughout the novel. It asserts that even if Tom were to act as if he didn’t exist and hide in his room all day Joseph would still want him to come out, because he believes that he is a wonderful person who is wasted hiding away like that.

"I couldn't stand it. I know it's only his body and all that's in the cemetery, and his soul's in Heaven and all that crap, but I couldn't stand it anyway. I just wish he wasn't there." (Salinger page 202).

His inner voice was reminding him what he felt, and that is what the old man is feeling right now. He knows what that feels like, even though he hasn’t done anything wrong yet, his conscience is trying to stop him from doing anything stupid or

His choice ultimately saved them all. This idea of choice is shown in the following vignette as well ‘The Tunnel.’ Here a dog appears to warn the man to stay out of or to stay away from the tunnel. The man walks through the tunnel slowly and cautiously. He gives the illusion that he is looking at something he remembers or his past per se.

He is very revealing to the issues in his life. He is talking about waiting for his “X” in the cemetery where his young son lays to rest. It has become an annual meeting for them. Frank is detail about everything in the cemetery. The conversations between him and his ex are very elaborate and understanding.

He cannot even bear to look back upon it; “I am afraid to think what I have done; Look on't again I dare not.” This gives us an understanding of how he is only human and interestingly gives the audience a sense of sympathy.

Even though Johnny was faced with death, he faced death with courage. Johnny showed that, by keeping a positive attitude through this whole ordeal. Johnny’s hope, positive attitude, and courage kept his death at bay, even in the face of terrible pain and incurable illness.

It was his job. He was the who had to show no fear, to not let his bones rattle him to the core, to let his voice falter and crack in the middle of his job. To never waiver when death is in the air, creeping around, surrounding his body in the aura of it's presence. When the stench of the past lingers and even communicates with him, it was routine for him. After all, it was his job; although sometimes he felt it was too much for him, but he loved the adrenaline it induced. When it coursed through his veins, he felt alive; more alive than anything around him. In this case, it was true because as a paranormal investigator, a number of people did not see this profession as a true profession due to their unbelief in the paranormal, while the other
