Throughout life, we all face obstacles coming our way. How we overcome them defines who we are and who we will become. Obstacles can often break our will to carry out a task. But obstacles can also give people new meaning and help them become new. In this essay I will be discussing the story of a fictional but extremely three dimensional and well written character and his redemption, Arthur Morgan. In these paragraphs, I will tell you about how he persevered throughout the many endeavors in his life and how he learned to forgive his actions through them. Early life Not much is known about his early life of Arthur Morgan but we know that since he was as young as the age of 13 he was adopted by the Van Der Linde gang and was raised by them. …show more content…
Maybe there's hope for me yet." Throughout their conversation, Arthur begins to realize that there is more to life than his past actions and regrets. The nuns' words to him give a glimmer of hope for the possibility of finding redemption by embracing a new path of empathy and service to others. They then say their goodbyes, and Arthur takes on a more positive view of life. Although it’s too late to back out now, all he needs to do is go through one more big score on a train on its way to the bank. It was well guarded and Dutch’s mind was clouded with grief for his old friend Hosea. There was no plan to do that. The only plan they had in mind was to bring a couple of extra people along. Friends of high ranking member MIcah Bell. Micah was present during the disastrous bank job in Saint Denis. He was feeding the Dutch’s delusions and paranoia. He caused the mass shooting that forced the gang into constantly running. Arthur despised Micah, but seeing as Dutch was going crazier and crazier there was nothing he could do. The job was quick,upfront and aggressive. The cowboys were swiftly moving across the land, galloping on their horses ready for their final score. They went in guns blazing, making quick work of the security guards and making their way to the conductor. Arthur stopped the train and the rest of the gang were at the vault on the train. Backup security arrived soon after and the gang was on the run. It was getting increasingly hard on Arthur's …show more content…
But all was said and done. This was Arthur's final straw. His whole life, he could never catch a break. It was always him vs the law. He has faced death multiple times throughout his life, never thinking twice about his actions, but for once his mind was clear. He understood that Dutchman’s plans and goals were meaningless. Arthurs life was meaningless because of it. This wasn’t the way he wanted to go out with such little life left in him. So as one final hoorah he was going to get John, his wife and kids, out of this life. He’d teamed up with a hotheaded lady also questioning Dutch’s integrity, Sadie Addler. Together they rode all the way to Saint Denis to find John. They arrived at the prison. It was a towering building with multiple guard posts surrounding it. This time taking a more stealthy approach. They went in with stolen guard uniforms. It wasn’t going to be that easy though, so their plan was to cause a riot within the prison. Arthur secretly planted dynamite near the cells, and Sadie kept watch. They found John, grabbed him and BOOM the alarm went off. The law was all over the place trying to contain everybody and John was freed. Soon after their arrival, they find out John’s wife Abby and his kid Jack were held hostage by the Pinkertons. Arthurs job was not yet finished and he was tired. Together once again, he and Sadie had found the location of the two and went off. Arthur
Arthur stole his wife away from him. That is what started his rage and the thought of murdering the man. He did in a way where it would not look suspicious and that he died in combat. The sad part about this is even though he killed Richmond, his own wife cried for her lost lover. She was not the same-she was different.
Arthur is very ungrateful, and impossible to please. He thrives off of driving his daughter and son-in-law crazy, and it always seems to work. Arthur always has an ailment, and he believes the world revolves around him. Every once and a while Arthur gets what he deserves, and people unleash their wrath on him. Of course, Arthur acts as if he doesn't understand why people get so angry at
The Once and Future King goes on about how Arthur’s early life truly shaped King Arthur for the better. King Arthur is known to be one of the greatest rulers of all times. He gets his amazing leadership from the people that raised him, Sir Ector and Merlyn. Furthermore, Merlyn’s numerous lessons truly shaped Arthur in becoming the rightful King of
My personal feelings don't matter I have to speak with Arthur and simply hope that our conversation doesn't end with both of us becoming covered in cuts and bruises. During my life I have seen many trends from cowboy hats to bell-bottoms come and go, and I have found that a tie, coat, trousers, vest, white undershirt, and black leather dress shoes never go out of style. Once I finish getting dressed I kiss Morgan goodbye and start walking over to our bedroom door. “I'll probably swing by your office later today, but until then goodbye madame mayor.” “Jason you know I hate it when you call me that.” “Oh, but you're so cut when you're angry.” “My beloved before you leave promise me two things.” “What do you ask of me Mrs. McCartney do you want me to climb the highest mountain and tell the gods how beautiful my wife is?” “No that’s not good enough how about I buy you the biggest diamond I can find or get the birds to sing a special song to you every morning?” “Do you always have to be such a smartass romantic?” “Ya.” “Now what were you going to say?” “Promise me you won't let Arthur piss you off, and remember we have to go and meet the Lawson family who have officially decided to move to Avalon Meadows.” “Well you know what they say nothing says this is a good place to raise your kids like a bloody nose and black eye.” “Jason promise me.” “I can promise you that I will remember to go speak to the Lawson family, but Arthur knows how to push my buttons if anyone can piss me off its him.” “I can accept that just make sure you protect that gorgeous face of
Even with these feelings , Arthur knew nothing was Carter’s fault so he decides to put aside his feelings towards Jake and accept Cartner as his son, Arthur’s decision to do this shows that he accepts what happened between Jake and Laura and has come to peace with it. Additionally Arthur overcomes his
More than anything, though he cares deeply and loves to stay close to his family. His son and daughter both live only a few miles away from him and he sees them frequently. On Sundays, Arthur watches movies with his kids and relaxes, it being the only day he can. He travels often around the states, whether it be to visit relatives, specifically his siblings or sometimes he travels just for the experience. He doesn't enjoy traveling to other countries because of the conflicts that occur. Overall, he takes much pride in both his work and his family and spends his days now focusing on
They knew that if anyone could get them out of trouble like this, he could. To find Dallas, they had to go to the home of Buck Merril. As the boys arrived and found Dallas, they explained to him what had happened in the park. Not phasing him, Dallas gave them $50 and a gun. He’d given Ponyboy a dry shirt and jacket to change into. Dallas had told them to buy a week’s worth of food and hide out in the abandoned church on Jay Mountain, in Windrixville. He’d told them to take freight train three-fifteen. The boys stayed in the church for a little over a week, until a fire had driven them
They escaped the camp a couple of days after making their plan. They turned off the power to
After the strange encounter on the train, he notices that many people he talks to seem to be uncomfortable with the topic of the Eel Marsh House. To show respect to Alice Drablow, Arthur shows up to her funeral. To make all of his strange experiences even more strange, Arthur sees a sickly looking woman dressed in all black at the funeral. The strange part is when he asks the townspeople what is wrong with her, none of them knew who he was talking about. When he finally gets to the Eel Marsh House he realizes that finding the documents were not going to be easy to find at all. There are many piles of paper scattered around, and he would need to sort through all of them. While in the house he sees slight images of the woman in black. He was starting to come to the conclusion
They keep Jim a prisoner in hopes of the reward
This was because he was misunderstood as a child, and caused lots of havoc around town (which obviously did not help his formidable reputation). One of the reader’s favorite quotes of Arthur is his only one: “Will you take me home?” (p. 372, Ch.
Whether he meant to or not, Arthur was very convincing in his speech, which leads one to believe that he was being pulled in two completely opposite directions. A part of him wanted more than anything to have the weight of this secret sin lifted from his conscience; another part of him, arguably the practical part, knew that he could never let the people know the truth. His facade and image were much too important not only to him, but to the entire community. If he had admitted to everyone what he had done, then he would have been seen, not only as a hypocrite, but a betrayer of everyone's trust. Some people in the community might have even started doubting the religion because, if this man who they considered holy and righteous, could not live a life without sin, then how could they? Clearly, Arthur was asking these questions as well, and the world in which he had lived and had served so faithfully was beginning to close in on him. It was because of this that his health began to fail and his body could, at the end, no longer handle the weight and sadness of his soul. His spirit had been lost long before his body gave out.
In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Jungle, The Scarlet Letter and To Kill a Mockingbird, the struggles of the characters leads to a self realization about their situation. A struggle is an obstacle that is difficult to overcome. Throughout these four American novels mental, social, physical, and environmental struggles leads to a self realization within a character. In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Huckleberry Finn’s situation of having a unique lifestyle confines him to have a very limited social life, which leads to the self realization of the importance of compromise. In The Scarlet Letter Arthur Dimmesdale’s problematic personal situation leads to self abuse as well as an understanding that he is an unhealthy person.
When the friends arrive at her house 10 minutes later, they are confronted by a “frantic” Queenie who told them that she found Arthur dead on the ground. However, it seems a little suspicious that Arthur was all of a sudden found dead. We can make the obvious
Although King Arthur is one of the most well-known figures in the world, his true identity remains a mystery. Attempts to identify the historical Arthur have been unsuccessful, since he is largely a product of fiction. Most historians, though, agree that the real Arthur was probably a battle leader of the Britons against the Anglo-Saxons in the sixthth century. In literature, King Arthur's character is unique and ever changing, taking on a different face in every work. There is never a clearly definitive picture that identifies Arthur's character. It is therefore necessary to look at a few different sources to get better insight into the character of Arthur, the once and future king.
