So instead of Vanno telling the stories to the ski patrol he tells them to Red Dog. This shows how Red Dog is different but the same and Red Dog is a “special doggy” and has “a gift”. This is where Red Dog really gets to know Red Dog and they become great mates. This isa good decision because he gets to tell his stories about “great, big, beautiful nuts” and he also doesn’t get his throat slit. Some people try to act what they’re not and over exploit their

Throughout the book Bean, Valentine Wiggin and Ender Wiggin are characters who stood out when it came to being courageous and showing bravery.

Everyone is a product of past experiences, Vahan Kenderian is no different.

After he catches a big fish he has one chapter where the only line expressed is "My mother is a fish" (Faulkner  79).  This demonstrates his displaced love for his mother has been transferred to the fish as much as Jewel's displaced love for his mother is transferred to his beloved horse.  Of course, if Vardaman is not fully individualized it is because there are few support mechanisms in his environment to support him.  Faulkner believes few men are free and most are products of biological and psychological determinism coupled with environment.  No one is there to nurture or support Vardaman over the loss of his mother, nor even teach him what death means.  This is obvious in one of the most grotesque moments of the novel when he drills holes into his mother's coffin, and inadvertently her face, so she can breathe.  Some have read a Freudian Oedipal interpretation into this moment, but, more accurately it is a child who loves his mother and misunderstands her death to such a degree that he believes drilling holes in the coffin will make her able to breathe, "'Are you going to nail her up in it, Cash?  Cash?  Cash?'  I got shut up in the crib the new door it was too heavy for me it went shut I couldn't breathe because the rat was breathing up all the air.  I said 'Are you going to nail it shut, Cash?  Nail it?  Nail it?'" (Faulkner  62).

As the story progresses, Waythorn starts to realize that his relationship with Alice is not as clearly defined as he once thought, a revelation largely recognized because of Alice’s two ex-husbands: Varrick and Haskett. Hawthorne, who initially questioned their potentially disruptive role in Alice and his marriage, negates all of the initial doubts he had relating to them and their visits to his residence. However,

The last child of Addie's was Vardaman who was a replacement of the child she robbed Anse of. Ironically Vardaman replaced Addie with a dead fish. Every attitude and relationship Addie had toward each child resulted in what happened and the treatment after her death. This concept brings a different meaning to treat others how you would want to be treated and I think that was Faulkner’s goal behind the relationships within the Bundred

In the play “A Raisin in the Sun” written by Lorraine Hansberry, she is able to take us to place to see what it was like for an African American family to survive in the mid-twentieth century.

This is wear because addie have being death for almost nine days and even that he is not a kid he acts like it. He ask darl how does his mother look at him if the box does not have holes on then.

He may not be a kid but the feeling that he would not see his mother anymore is a feeling that nobody wants to feel. my opinion about vardaman is that he character was great use in the book it give that point of view of a kid almost my age. The age of vardaman is really important because many characters in the book are 17 and older and using him as the small one give me the image of a kid crying for his
