In addition, the author helps the reader understand the selfishness of the mother when the reader finds out she have stole the Persian Carpet “several months before” (230) the divorce and puts the blame on Ilya, the poor blind man. Furthermore, the visit of the children is supposed to signal a fresh start for the family. The mother even emphasizes she wants the girls to come “live with [them]” (229). Yet again, even if they meet in order to reunite, characterized by a situational irony, they see themselves separated because of her mother selfish decisions.

Moreover, Chekhov’s overall goal of “Anna on the Neck” is not aimed at a concluding idea of what it means to hold power or wealth, but rather to portray what it means to be human by presenting the shift in moral values of Anna. In addition, Chekhov uses distinct images and motifs to establish Anna’s initial position in the beginning of the story as being submissive, powerless, and weak and shift’s this image of Anna to be one of strength, authority, power, and pride, after she became aware of her influence. By Anna not helping her family like she wanted to in the beginning of the story, she now holds a false sense of values since she became the high class superficial woman who did not achieve the goals she wished to accomplish through

The simplistic plot of the novel and the overall theme of love allows the author to span the lives of the main characters. The reader sees the span of the life of two of the main characters, Sidda and her mother Vivi, as

In conclusion, the three most important themes to me in the story, abuse, fear, and karma are what made the story so good. He abuses her, she has fear, that he pokes fun at, and he is punished for his actions. Her greatest fear saved her from enduring anymore abuse from

Oksana starts her story by telling how she worked as a trench digger in the war in 1941. “She later became the chief statistical inspector of Tchkalovsky Rayon, near Gorky” (55). She met her husband in 1945, he died soon after in 1949, but they had a daughter in between that time and she never had the desire to get married again. To Oksana she was not poor in the time that she lived with her parents and then with her husband she says, “We were not making enough to feel secure” (56) financially. She now hated her life because she had no job because she didn't have the money for new documents and without them you don't work. Before the war she was happy with her life as it was after the war everything went downhill. “Would you describe your self as poor now? Absolutely. I have no housing. I cant get my passport exchanged so I cant get a job” (56). She couldn't deal with the hand that was dealt to her and she believes it was destiny. “Why are you poor? I don't know. Maybe we did something wrong at some point.” (57) If we leave all the choices in life to destiny then nothing will get done and we will always be stuck in one spot. “So why are some people poor and others rich? Because there is no justice in the world” (58). I agree with her answer but only for certain things does it apply. After interviewing Oksana, Vollmann asks to interview her family. She had one daughter Nina, a son-in-law Nikolai, and two granddaughters Elena and Marina. Nikolai seemed to be suffering from radiation poisoning from cleaning up at Chernobyl. Oksana cared much more for her children than Natalia but she was more able to since Natalia had seizures that would last hours. She couldn't get her children back from the orphanage without a doctors note that stated that she was seizure free. Neither of the women believed that their way of living would improve in the future so they gave up on trying to make

One value that the Eastern European societies have in common with the society present in the titled "The Lorax" is the value of importance of family. This value can easily be observed at work in "Good Bye Lenin!" where we see a young boy, Alex, desperately going to exceptional measures to protect his mother from finding out that the political climate in her country has vastly changed during the time that she was in a coma. We can also observe the importance of family values in the actions of Ariane. At the beginning of the film, Arianne is shown to be raising her baby as a single mother while living with her mother and brother. It can be assumed that by living with her family, Ariane receives the necessary support that is needed when raising a young child. However, as the plot unfolds and Ariane finds herself in a serious relationship and pregnant with another baby, she expresses her desire to move away from her mother's apartment in efforts to create a stable environment for her young family.

In the first stanza it is the semantic field of water: ‘waters’ (twice), ‘sea’, ‘drowning’ and ‘being drawn’. As I mentioned earlier, water is often the symbol of life but it also evokes tears, sadness and despair.

As the story unfolds, Gurov at first changes subtly. First of all he meets Mrs. Anna Sergeyevna. His attitude at first is still the same, he finds her as another victim of his little game that he plays. He sits and watches, searching his mind for a ways to get her attention like he does for every woman. He still looks at women in the same sort of fashion. Anna and Gurov start spending time with each other more and more, he still plays his game. Each time that he meets her and tries to coax her into have an ice or syrup, yet he still looks at her as “pathetic.” After their first kiss he begins to realize that there is something different about this girl. Unlike the usual women he messes around with, she feels guilty about engaging in this affair with him. Anna does not give him the satisfaction of playing the game along with him. As he spends more time with Anna he becomes fond of her presence. He starts learning more about her, when she talks him listens intently instead of getting bored and rolling his eyes. When Anna gets a letter from her husband asking for her to come home, Gurov acts like it isn’t a big deal, he still believes he is playing his game. At first he forces himself to believe he is ok, but after they are apart for a while he realizes that Anna isn’t leaving him. She follows him everywhere, not just in his dreams. He feels something that he has never felt before, he

The story unfolds very smoothly and evenly in spite of of the stirring and at the same time troubling subject of the matter. We get acquainted with the main characters – The Crutchman family “so very very happy and so temperate in all their habits and so pleased with everything that came their way”, due to the anaphoric repetition the author creates intensification, that states the problem –

Additionally, by including less detail, Spiegelman makes his characters easier to relate to, or as McCloud references, more universal. After Vladek recalls the hanging of a few of his associates, Spiegelman illustrates a very plain, bleak image of him mourning their loss in present day. The image consists of the most basic character features, making it effortless for the reader to mentally input their face on Vladek’s. Overall, this “amplification through simplification” (McCloud), aids the reader in feeling the emotion of the character, finding a deeper connection to the story as a whole, and can reveal universal truths.

Soon after Vanya's death, Volodya moves in and the two begin a close relationship. Yet, one must remember Vanya's warning to Olga about Volodya's womanizing habits. Their relationship does not last long as Vanya suggests, Volodya leaves with his regiment and Vanya warns Olga before he passes away, but she does not listen. Gurov in "The Lady with the Little Dog" also treats women poorly, even when he feels he is in love. As Anna cries in her hotel room to Gurov about their love and their sins, Gurov simply unhurriedly slices a watermelon sitting on a table, paying little attention to Anna's concerns, showing his true self. If Anna knows as much as the reader does about Gurov, she may have expected him to react the way he does.
