Louis Laveau Dialectical Journal

1) “They carried the soldier’s greatest fear, which was the fear of blushing. Men killed, and died, because they were embarrassed not to. It was what had brought them to the war in the first place, nothing positive, no dreams of glory or honor, just to avoid the blush of dishonor. They died so as not to die of embarrassment” (O’Brien 20).

1. I would put myself in the place of the man on the horse he looks like he could be the leader, so the leader.

1.) The ending did not surprise me; I think it may have if we hadn’t discussed it in class. I think I would have been very surprised and confused, if I hadn’t known the ending prior to reading it.

I was shocked at first when I read this passage because of the tragic events that has happened to this man. As a result I felt extremely sorry that, that has happened to him. However, seeing him answering Liesel's question so bravely, I feel a spark of respect to him because many people doesn't like to talk about their past, especially about the tragic events. For example, when my father injured his hand at work, I kept asking him how he injured it, but no matter how many times I asked, I wasn’t able to get an answer. Instead, he would change the topic immediately. All in all I am extremely proud of this man in the

“Would it be scarier if I told you that I would kill you or just hurt you really bad?”

In this reading, the narrator talks about the reaction of Mrs. Millard who had heart problems, when she notices of her husband´s death. Louise Mallard is at home with her sister Josephine, when they hear of a rain accident; then Josephine tells Louise that her husband has been killed it in the accident.

She does this by using such elevated, disgusted terminology- one can imagine her reading these terms with an intense voice of contempt- as “affair” (1), “the Brinvilliers woman”(5), and “Believing”(10) to convey a spirit of detachedness and divergence- marking the woman as a member of a distinctly separate social class than herself and her audience. Her incredulous, scornful tone toward the Brinvilliers woman indicates her treatment of the criminal as someone far below her and her audience.

Louis has a strange sex addiction that leads to his death. He has sex with his patients instead of giving them medicine. He says that sex soothes the soul more than medicine. Louis has sexual intercourse with Metty Mereaux, a family friend, and this leads to the suspicion from Eve. It was aid on an movie analysis site, ”Though he is married to beautiful Roz, he has a weakness for attractive female patients. Although Metty Mereaux is married, one night Louis attempts to have several intercourses with her. ” (IMDb 1). Louis has a strong problem with staying away from women. His wife thinks he is working. He is really out having sex with women and Eve knows all about it. A guy who is known for summarizing movies once said, “Louis is charismatic, gregarious, and especially friendly to attractive women. In fact

It not only threatens, but also breaks through. Betrayed by love once in her life, she nevertheless seeks it in the effort to fill the lonely void; thus, her promiscuity. But to adhere to her tradition and her sense of herself as a lady, she cannot face this sensual part of herself. She associates it with the animalism of Stanley's lovemaking and terms it “brutal desire”. She feels guilt and a sense of sin when she does surrender to it, and yet she does, out of intense loneliness. By viewing sensuality as brutal desire she is able to disassociate it from what she feels is her true self, but only at the price of an intense inner conflict. Since she cannot integrate these conflicting elements of desire and gentility, she tries to reject the one, desire, and live solely by the other. Desperately seeking a haven she looks increasingly to fantasy. Taking refuge in tinsel, fine clothes, and rhinestones, and the illusion that a beau is available whenever she wants him, she seeks tenderness and beauty in a world of her own making.

Arabella's grin was broad and easy, her laugh genuine. "I wouldn't say dropping his standards, per say...maybe just skewing them slightly." Joking and laughing with Leo was easy and had been for as long as she could remember. The fact that some of it - maybe a lot of it - was flirting was moot, as far as she was concerned. She occasionally caught herself wondering if it was partly because of how casual he was, somewhat of a piece of his history working taking the long way up the ladder. Or, at the very least, the fact that they were close in age helped, as well. She didn't feel like she had to put on airs around him to keep his respect, or his friendship, for that matter. She didn't have to keep the edge about her that she did with others who,

When he returns home to Algiers, Meursault carries on with life as normal. Over dinner one evening, his neighbor Raymond tells of his desire to punish his mistress for infidelity, and asks Meursault to write a letter to the mistress for him. Meursault agrees, saying "I tried my best to please Raymond because I didn’t have any reason not to please him" (32). While Raymond is a man of questionable morals, he acts with purpose. Meursault, on the other hand, acts with mostly passive indifference, doing things simply because he doesn’t have a reason not to do them.

The era of the Ancients is the first period of civilisation in Dalazar which began when the tribes in modern day Lividus united and established the first nation on the planet, Laerven. By this time, humanity had reached a level of advancement similar to Earth’s Iron age, around 100BC. The nation spanned a small area of the centre on the Cyraxian continent after being united by an ominous King known as “Vladak” who would become a source for Vormanian nationalism thousands of years later. Vladak lead the Laevens out of their tribal isolationism, beginning vast exploration & expansions which spurs the beginnings of advanced civilisation. By 15FE, the Laevens had built a large Rome - like Kingdom. The Laeven Empire could be described as having very Nordic people and culture, Greek

She asks Meursault if he thinks they would ever marry and he gives Marie the most unemotional

Within the traveling group an odd mix of people come together to make for a very interesting position regarding social class and politics. Among the group there are nuns, prostitutes and members of the high-class society of France. While they all come from different ways of life, they all experience the same sympathy and pride in their country and their distaste for the Prussians and the “terrible things done by them”. Even with this common pride for their country one cannot help to notice the symbolism and imagery of each character’s distinct social class and role. In the first scenes of the story a certain disrespect is shown to Boule de Suif due to her low standards of living and

The next afternoon, as promised, Joan returned to Perceval’s chambers for a visit. Unfortunately, no matter how hard she willed away the thoughts, she couldn’t stop herself from thinking about Perceval’s head buried between her legs, or her mouth working his erection. Her heart pounded just imagining it and her face felt warm. In the past, she might have thought such acts were a little scary or overwhelming. But imagining engaging in such activities with Perceval was more exciting than anything else.
