The Other Side Of The Bridge Analysis

Arthur’s fatal flaw is outlined in his early years of growing up, in Book One of The Once and Future King. His parents leave him so he is adopted by Sir Ector who also happens

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

He has an annoying, bratty little sister that he loves to death and a mother that cares about him deeply. After serving 3 weeks in juvenile detention, Arthur is just glad to be home. He notices that his little sisters pink bed spread on her side of the room didn’t bother him nearly as much. Pearsall also shows different methods of grieving process. Arthur is more closed out about his feelings of his father, but decides to keep everything he can to preserve the memory of his father. His mother on the other hand does not want to be reminded of her late husband. She tries to get rid of everything as best as she can. Pearsall also hits the nail on the head while writing Arthur’s personality. Arthur is occasionally sarcastic, has a bit of a temper, but is a good kid overall. He stands up for others even though he knows it’s going to have a negative impact on himself. For example, Arthur finished lunch early and decided to get his textbook so he doesn’t receive a detention. He sees some older kids taunting a smaller boy in a trashcan. At first he minds his own business, but he later decides that he no longer wants to put up with them bullying the obviously defenseless boy. The older boys go to the office and report Arthur. They all stick together and say that Arthur attacked Squeak, who will later become his best friend and help him finish off his

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.

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 an interview with Arthur’s mother, you find out that St. Joseph’s wouldn’t pay for all of Arthur’s education like they said they would, which is terrible news because the Agee’s couldn’t afford to send Arthur to this

The first transformation for Arthur was a perch. As this fish he learned many lessons associated with the behavior of the animals around him. Arthur learned to rely on himself as much as possible. This is evident when Merlyn says, “Education is experience, and the essence of experience is self-reliance.” (White 39) He also learned to help out those around him even if they are of lower status, which

“A couple of weeks ago, Guinevere and I shared supper at her cottage. We drank far too much mead and ate too little food. Before I knew it, I had her backed up against the wall, kissing her, and I had her skirts bunched up around her waist. I reached between her legs and touched her. I just kept moving my fingers in little circles and she seemed to enjoy it. She was, ah, aroused. Wet, I mean. After a few minutes of that, I pulled down her top and kissed her breasts and neck while I kept moving my fingers between her legs. She rubbed up against me, then she shook and gasped, loud. I kissed her nipples and they were hard…” Arthur’s ended his story abruptly and stopped walking. “Please tell me that’s

The beginning of Amir’s journey causes him to feel guilty enough that he causes a chain reaction where he inflicts more cruelty upon himself and others. Amir and Hassan used to live a simple life with the biggest negative in Amir’s life being the fact that his father liked Hassan more. Right after a kite tournament that Amir won, Hassan goes to run the kite for Amir, and Amir finds him being abused by Assef in an alley. Amir decides to do nothing and feels guilty about it for most of his life. Although the initial cruelty is inflicted upon Hassan, it is Amir who is hurt the most. His guilt causes him to inflict cruelty upon Hassan in order to cause Hassan to “give [Amir] the punishment [he] craved, so maybe [he]’d finally sleep at night” (92). Amir’s cruelty leads Hassan and his father to walk out of Amir’s life, leaving Amir and his father, Baba,

In the midst of corruption sits a Great Bridge towering over the landscape as millions of people commute over it, clueless of how deep the crime beneath it runs. In the midst of immigrants sits a bridge that connects one economic powerhouse to another with the ideas and dreams of a German-born immigrant that never got to see his dream completed. In the midst of the mighty East River stands the East River Bridge as a towering monument of mans' ability to make even nature bend toward its iron-like will. In the midst of all this stands the Brooklyn Bridge in all of its glory as the pinnacle of industrial and engineering mastery of that time period and as a testament to the lives of the people that lived through a time of intense corruption, new

Arthur is a weird kid. When he had first met Logan, he was telling him that he watched the movers move all of their expensive stuff. Just seemed weird. The whole time Arthur was talking to Logan making his first impression Logan was thinking, I hope we move, this kid is so weird, hope Mom and Dad call me soon. But it ended up Logan got used to it.. He kind of had to though, his parents wanted him to get put and make friends.

In our reading, there were many things that jumped out to me, but I wanted to touch on a couple of them. Firstly, I wanted to discuss the whole idea of “the bridge” in the story. On page 11, at the end of the 2nd paragraph, Carnehan talks about how he came to the first village. Carnehan speaks of how he and Dravot arrived “without any trouble”, and then proceeds to explain how they gained control of the village. The idea of bridges shows up again on page 14, as Carnehan makes the natives builds bridges that “cut up the country horrid”, and finally at the bottom of page 18, as Dravot falls to his death. I feel that the “bridges” are a representation of the connections between the foreigners (Dravot

In the book, The Seventh Most Important Thing, Arthur is seen as a troubled kid, because of what he did last fall. Of course it is not a normal thing to throw a brick at a random person, for no reason, although Arthur claimed in front of a judge and jury that the reason he threw the brick was not the color of his skin, but because of the hat that he was wearing. The judge then sentenced him to to 120 hours of working for James Hampton, the man he hit with a brick, while he recovered from his injuries. He discovered that the seven most important things did not just apply to work, it applied to his everyday life. When the seven most important things were involved things went "back to normal" for a few moments, everything began to feel like

The bridge we have created is ethical in the sense that it has a dependable purpose relative to its location, and its uses. By implementing a floating bridge, in a non-linear terrain in the city of Champong Chnnang it allows for effective, and efficient commute between two villages. This idea allows for the saving of time and money, by not implementing a less efficient method of transportation and trade between the two villages. THIS ISN’T GOOD ENOUGH, LET EDWARD ADD SHIT TO THIS TOO.

For Morgaine, I think she is the most sympathetic character. For Arthur, I think he is being played. SInce later on, he was sent to Sir Ector who basically raised him up. He, also, lost the care from his parents when he was small.
