Let Me Promise You By Morley Callaghan

Over the course of the novella, George’s attitude towards Lennie changes from impatience, controlling, to sympathy.

In the chapter, "No Need to Call," by Sherry Turkle, the author uses repetition, contrast, and anomalies, to exemplify today’s generations inability to talk on the phone. With our world consumed with the latest technology, all available at the tips of our fingers, it's no wonder this generation doesn't even know how to hold a phone conversation properly. Texting is the newest way of communicating with one another. It is fast, easy, and convenient. However, only texting and not speaking on the phone is not preparing this generation for the real world.

Although Lennie is the only source of love in his life, he restrains George from being able to settle down and find a stable job. In the beginning of the book, George and Lennie are forced to flee their town and job due to an accident Lennie had with a little girl. Because Lennie has mental restrictions, he doesn’t understand what’s right and wrong, which makes him very hard for George to control. Even though he is good at heart and doesn’t intentionally do things to hurt people, he is still a weight on George’s shoulders. “God a’mighty, if I was alone I could live so easy. I could go get a job and work, an’ no trouble.” (Page 89, par. 2). This is a quote from George showing his frustrations from this weight on his shoulders, Lennie, who is holding him back from succeeding and doing what he wants to do. Similarly, Ethan Frome is held back from not only moving and being happy, but also from being with the woman he truly loves, because of his wife Zeena. Zeena married Ethan at the age of 28, after the death of his mother. Ethan wanted to move away from Starkfield, but Zeena would not budge. Her illnesses acted as a money vacuum and an excuse for her to waste money on expensive visits to doctors at a time when Ethan was

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. fought for equality during the nineteen fifties and sixties. The passage “Heeding the Call”, by Diana Childress explains how his childhood experiences influenced his actions as an adult. He learned a lot from personal situations as a black male, people he looked up to as a child, and his educational background.

Despite George’s occasional anger at Lennie’s lack of intelligence, he feels compassion for his friend. For example, at the end of the story when Lennie accidentally kills another worker's wife, George is forced to kill Lennie with a gun so that Lennie avoids harsher and more brutal punishments. After doing so, George is overrun with sadness and at the loss of his companion. In addition, because Lennie is mentally weak, George often has to take care of Lennie. In fact, George feels obligated to help Lennie.

A key dynamic in their relationship is the fact that George tends to convey only three types of attitudes or emotions towards Lennie. The three key emotions that George expresses are pity for Lennie, resentment and anger for how his life turned out due to Lennie, and love and compassion for his kind and

Another aspect of the play that can easily relate to modern audiences is, William Shakespeare’s use of mistaken identities and true-life experiences especially mourning for the loss of family and love obsessions, are among the main focuses of the play. Many people in the audience of today would most likely be able to relate to Olivia’s intense mourning of her brother, since people’s feelings and actions at the time of loss don’t change just the periods of times that they occur do. Love is commonly used in many forms of works of entertainment because it is an unsolved mystery that everyone usual enjoys watching or reading. The infatuation that the Duke has for Olivia is comical throughout the play and forces the Duke to say

Throughout the novel , George has a strong male role, who does not reveal his thoughts or feelings. George is in denial of his feelings. He appears to be negative with an impatient man, although he is a loving and caring person he tries to hide it. George knows that he could live easy, if he did not have Lennie. He could “get along so easy and so nice”, “have a girl” and keep a job” but he does not leave Lennie because he feels responsible for him.

In Twelfth Night, Feste asks the “most simple and at the same time most complex of questions,” “What is Love?” (The English Review). Some people believe that love is easy, effortless, and leads to fairytale endings. However, in Twelfth Night, Shakespeare shows the other side of love. Love is not a simple feeling, and it is a confusing emotion which leads to heartbreak, or pure happiness. These two polar opposites are derived from either true or false love. Shakespeare portrays the idea that love is not always easy, and differentiates between false and true love in Twelfth Night.

Alice is a woman who knows how to play her cards correctly and get everything that she wants: “She dropped into her low chair by the tea­ table, and the two visitors, as if drawn by her smile, advanced to receive the cups she held out”. (WHARTON) This is the point of the story where it is vivid that Alice’s domineering self is seeping out. Alice all this time has been the one in control, she without going outside the boundaries of the transitional gender roles becomes the masculine individual: “She glanced about for Waythorn, and he took the third cup with a laugh”( Wharton). Alice is showing that she not only controls her own life she managed to have all the men in the same area all at once.

Lucy came really close to marring the wrong man due to her lack of thought. She has grown up and lived a life of proper existence. However, Lucy possesses passionate qualities they have just been repressed her entire life. Her only emotion outlet is the piano, in which she prefers dramatic pieces by Beethoven. She plays the piano in order to let out her frustrations brought on by her surrounding characters. Lucy is brought up to be proper and not outgoing or passionate. George will eventually show her how to be passionate and open to new ideas. George is a man that breaks the chains of conformity to free Lucy’s spirit and he does this efficiency.

Love is essential for the character’s development. To begin with, Rosalind fell in love with Orlando at first glance, and since then goes all out to see if Orlando is truly right for her. In addition, Rosalind says, “Gentleman, wear this for me. I’m a woman who's down on her luck, and I’d give more if I could” (1.2.243-244). This quote is when Rosalind gave Orlando her necklace, this marks the beginning of Rosalind’s affection towards Orlando. Furthermore, after being banished by Duke Fredrick, Celia and Rosalind go out to the forest of Arden disguised as Ganymede and Aliena. At a certain point in the play, Rosalind (as Ganymede) begins to testify Orlando to see if he is “the one”. Incidentally, Silvius shows many times his love and dedication towards

In William Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night,” many characters are confused and deceived by their emotions and are blind to true love. For example, Maria, one of Olivia’s servants, tricks Malvolio, the steward of Olivia’s household into thinking Olivia loves him. Maria does this because Malvolio is known for being very harsh to people and she wanted to get him back for this. Malvolio

The place the court has within the play shows a lot of nobility and influence for those around them. Celia, the Duke’s daughter, has a lot of empathy and can be thrown around as a character who is really one for the dramatics. Her devotion to follow her cousin Rosalind into a dangerous forest shows her big heart that she has for her loved ones. She also shows her big heart for what she has learned and known all her life while living in the court. Celia becomes very

As a first point, love is a key aspect in creating a sense of belonging and stability between Catherine and Frederic in the novel, playing the role of an anchor in the midst of a gruesome plot of war. In his commentary, Armstrong notes that “... the development of Barkley and Henry’s relationship from casual lovers to de facto wife and husband confirms the strength of their love and that love’s power to illuminate
