What remains is only the sentimentality that emerges in his final words of pity and self-pity. “Ah Bartleby! Ah Humanity!” (Melville, p. 45) (Shulman, p. 22)

Matt meet’s his new teacher for the first time,”‘ Learning is fun!’ said Teacher. ‘I’ll bet you’re a smart boy. I’ll bet you learn all your lessons fast and make your mommy proud of you’ […] ‘He can read a bit, though.’ ‘Reading is fun!’ Teacher said in a hearty voice.”(71).

Boxer has a very important allegorical meaning in the book Animal Farm, as he represents the workers and laborers during the Russian Revolution. In the book, Boxer is a very strong horse, who is stronger than everyone else on the farm. Despite having immense strength, he lacks knowledge and often cannot think straight. This can be seen in the quote, “Napoleon is always right”. The idea that Boxer has developed is incorrect, as it states that everything Napoleon says or does, is justified. Due to this, Napoleon is able to kick Snowball out of the farm. Boxer has no idea of how his physical ability is being used and continues to exhibit his kind and hard-working attributes, as can be seen in the quote, “I will work harder”. This quote implies

In The Once and Future King, Kay is the best fit for this archetype, as a supporting character to Arthur. Kay’s archetype of trickster is supported by his selfish decisions, both as a teenager and as an adult, that make way for Arthur to grow as a character and ascend to kingly status, and supports the author’s purpose in illustrating the impact that small things can have on one’s destiny, by using his small decisions to mold Arthur into the grand character he has become. His way of being a trickster changes from childhood to adulthood, however; as a teen he is very self-confident, and as an adult
