Miro's Regrets

The majority of characters in A Place Where the Sea Remembers has felt regret and betrayal. It was hard for them to not do the things they did because of the fact that they were thinking of themselves. For example, Marta and Chayo have both felt regret and betrayal. Some characters have also felt this conflict, but Marta and Chayo are the ones that go through it the most.

He initially had no interest at all in nature, but after some adjustments he changed his mind and gained a “relationship” with nature and, he even learned some survival skills along the way. In the beginning of the text, Ben preferred to be indoors making videos, or being a detective or even just watching television rather than being outside like his younger sister Olive. This meant that unlike his sister Ben did not develop any survival skills. This became a problem, when the Silver family were suddenly on the run from the cops and found themselves in a life or death situation. The novel mentions that, ‘wilderness was his enemy”. This was one way of showing that Ben did not like to be outside in nature. Eventually, Ben changes views and he now appreciates and enjoys being outdoors in nature. He even finds peace within the wilderness. The novels says Ben had “missed this placed”. This shows that he has changed tremendously. He has gone from Ben, the being indoors lover, to Ben the Nature loving boy. This was a significant change for the

The characters that rebuff publicly are the ones who deal with guilt in private. For instance, General Macarthur is one of these characters. He thought it was someone’s idea of a sick joke. Macarthur states, “The whole thing is preposterous-preposterous! Slinging accusations about like this!

Ben shows in both texts that instead of hurting others with “tart words”, that we should instead love everyone, and to make no enemies. Life is too short to be bitter all the time and create unneeded grudges between others. Life is to make the best of it, not to spend it alone.

He makes sure Ren is safe and risks being arrested for to make sure the he, Ren, and Tom have money for food. He also makes sure that Ren will have a place to stay at the end of the book before he leaves. He does this by tricking McGinty into giving Ren his factory and all of his wealth in his will. If McGinty had caught Benjamin, McGinty would have killed him, but Benjamin still did this to look after Ren.

The General has a big effect on Ben death. One example on page 192 the author Robert Cormier states that the general says that he should have”picked up the telephone and told washington I change my mind”. If the General would have have done that ben would not have to deliver the stone to Artkin and been captured and tortured. Only If the General would have done that Ben could have been save a great deal of pain in his life. This is one of the ways Ben father could have help prevent his son death.

Ben had to deal with a kinds of shame, he had his family ashamed of him and he was ashamed of himself. His whole family was disgraced the way he look and

She asked. “Artkin,” he said.” (Cormier 44). Kate often manipulates Miro by flattering him or in some cases, touching him. She knows what she is doing, and quotes feeling “cheap and soiled and treacherous, knowing she was using the words to awaken him to her, using them the way she imagined a prostitute used her body to arouse a man” (Cormier 170).

Benjamin was compassion. He thought about other people before him one example that Benjamin stated was “I gave the other two rolls to a woman and her child that came down the river in the boat.” While he could've ate all of the rolls he had he was kind to give his rolls away to a family,because he knew that the mom couldn’t afford to buy any food so he was nice to help them out.

Forgiveness can be tough to tackle. Whether it be forgiving a friend, a family member, or something that happened in the past, it is extremely difficult to move on without forgiveness. The process of forgiveness can grow easier with age. Although for some, the process of forgiving never becomes easier. They live their whole lives feeling bad for themselves instead of forgiving the actions of the past and moving forward with their lives. The sooner one learns to forgive, the easier it will be to move on. In the novel The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, Amir and Soraya both struggle with forgiving events from the past.

Ben exemplified compassion in many cases, were he would sacrifice himself or his personal trails for someone else troubles. In reality this scene can compare with real life cases in the world today how compassion can be shared with people to impact others. In the movie Ben finds himself falling in love with a girl name Emily, who has an enlarged heart that he later gave his life for her to survive. Ben shared compassion with 6 other people, but given the most compassion to Emily.

Throughout the novel, All the King's Men by Robert Penn Warren, the characters are constantly feeling the effects of their past action later in the book.  Every one of their evil, sketchy actions were dealt with again later in the book and not in any pleasurable circumstance. Jack Burdens great uncle Cass Mastern had thought of a theory:

In the novel, Speaker For The Dead by Orson Card, regret plays a substantial role by helping progress the plot and introduce many themes those of which are identifiable in each character. The themes portrayed assist in showing the reasoning for regret, as well as different ways that it can be handled. Regret is strongly present all throughout the book and different characters experience differing levels of regret. Each character handled it in their own unique way, specifically because of their circumstances and how their mindset was changed. In Ender, there is definite regret for killing off an entire species.

Now in the literary story Benjamin has a grandfather who at the start was antagonized, became to enjoy his grandson’s company. It is a brief account of his grandfather but a meaningful one as this was the first one who gave him a sense of acceptance. The film version gave him acceptance through Queenie and we never get to know a grandfather; though one could say the patrons at the old folk’s home could have been grandparent surrogates for Benjamin. The patrons at the old folks home taught him many things but his experience living there taught him not to fear death and what loss was about which, in a sense, desensitized the character so that when Queenie passes he is not visibly upset.
