When someone brings up the concept of deserving, what do you think of? Do you think of when you

Irony also plays a big part in understanding the concept of the story. Without Saki’s ironic ways readers would not get a clear idea of what the moral is after reading the novella. As To begin, Georg and Ulrich are fighting over land, which in the outcome is the cause of their death. In the beginning they had the intentions of searching across the useless spurs in hopes of gunning down a human rival. All along the only foe that they truly had was within the nature that was surrounding them. Saki ended the story with one word; “wolves.” It is not directly stated if Georg and Ulrich were eaten by the beasts, but that one word creates a mysterious vibe that makes the reader wonder if either of their crew ever made it in time to help them in time to fight

In the novella “Of Mice and Men” by John Steinbeck, there are two guys named George and Lennie. They were friends for a very long time and stood by each other. Some people may argue that George was a bad friend to Lennie but I believe that he was a good friend. Friends aren’t perfect, they will mess up. Just because George messed up and made questionable actions towards Lennie, that doesn’t make him a bad friend. You will not find a friend that has never done wrong by you.

To begin with, the two known families known as the Znaeym and the von Gradwitz have had a seemingly endless dispute on the rights to the land which is called man versus man. According to the passage it states,” The neighbor feud had grown into a personal one since Ulrich had come to be head of his family; if there was a man in the world whom he detested and wished ill to, it was Georg Znaeym, the inheritor of the quarrel and the tireless game snatcher and raider of the disputed border forest.”(Saki 1). To clarify the quote, it stated that the rivalry between the two families have escalated due to Ulrich representing his family name and honour. In addition to the quote, it shows Ulrichs manifest of despise towards George Znaeym who is currently representing his family, and believes George is nothing but a petty thief whose upholding the inevitable end for

They both have misleading titles, where their true meaning is revealed in their ironic endings. In The Interlopers, the identity of the interlopers is left in the dark until the very end, where it is revealed to the surprise of the reader that the interlopers were actually wolves. After arguing with Ulrich about whose men will arrive first, Georg says the following: “good. We fight this quarrel out to the death, you and I and our foresters, with no cursed interlopers to come between us.” (Saki 101-03) Then later on after Ulrich asks him to be his friend, Georg says to Ulrich, “... And if we choose to make peace among our people, there is none other to interfere, no interlopers from outside....” (Saki 155-57) Both of these texts remind the reader of the title, and foreshadow the arrival of an “interloper”, but it is unclear who it is. The reader might even think that either Ulrich’s or Georg’s men are the interlopers. After getting stuck under a tree, the two begin to argue about whose men will arrive first. Georg says, “I have men, too, in the forest tonight, close behind me, and they will be here first and do the releasing.” (Saki 88-90), to which Ulrich responds, “My men had orders to follow in ten minutes’ time, seven of which must have gone by already, and when they get me out—...” (Saki 95-97) This convinces the reader that either Ulrich’s or Georg’s men will definitely arrive in the end. Even in the last moments of

Initially after being pinned to the tree both men plan to continue their feud, “we fight this quarrel out to the death,” (Saki , 1919). Both Georg and Ulrich tell each other that the other will be killed when their men come to rescue them. However, both man knew that there was a chance that their men would not arrive first and they would be killed. The reconciliation begins when Ulrich feels bad for Georg, “he looked across with something like a throb of pity to where his enemy lay,” (Saki, 1919). Ulrich offers Georg some wine to drink, and then states that their feud was stupid and he is ashamed of how long it has gone on. Georg and Ulrich realize that their feud was stupid and has gone on for too long, and decide to forgive each other. As the men discuss how they are ashamed and their new friendship, they hear and see a pack of wolves racing toward

Sometimes in life people are the same as you. Sometimes people are so much alike that they don't like each other. Although, we are created to be our own person sometimes people are like us in many ways. In Richard Connell's short story "The most dangerous game" and Saki's short story "The Interlopers," the main character General Zaroff and which Von Gradwitz are alike in the following ways; both men hunted on their own land, both men hunted humans, and both men died. Zaroff and Gradwitz had their own land that they hunted on.

In The Interlopers the theme is based on a feud between two families. The feud is based on an argument over a strip of forestland. The hatred that has developed because of this feud has become quite serious with both Ulrich von Gradwitz and Georg Znaeym having murderous thoughts

How to minimize the hurts of non-white children once their belief on the theory of a society is fair and equality is completely collapsed when the reality is happening in the opposite. In the reading “Why the Myth of Meritocracy Hurts Kids of Color” Mildred Boveda, an assistant education professor at Arizona State University, said: “I will admit that it sometimes felt risky to tackle these difficult conversations, but this [research] underscores why we cannot equivocate when it comes to preparing our children to face injustices.” I agree with her opinion. Because finding the proper solutions to fully empower and equipping the best knowledge that can help children cope better is not easy, but it is the responsibility of the family, the school, and society. The three elements need to act and work together in an effort to dare to speak about the truths mentioned above.

Ulrich von Gradwitz and Georg Znaeym were enemies because Ulrich was the owner of the forest land, and Georg was trying to steal Ulrich’s forest land. They met in the middle of the forest and tried to kill each other. However, they were trapped by the huge tree that fell from a fiery storm. Waiting for their men to rescue them, Ulrich offered Georg a wine. Ulrich von Gradwitz told Georg Znaeym that if Ulrich’s men come faster than Georg’s men then Ulrich will tell the men to rescue George first, and that they have better things to do than “getting the better of a boundary dispute” (Saki 86). The quote shows that Ulrich wanted to be friends with Georg rather than fighting over who gets the forest land. Ulrich asked George to be his friend, and George accepted his request. Waiting for their men to come and help them, both wished that their private men would come first so they can be the “first to show honorable attention” to the other (Saki 87). The quote shows that both Ulrich and Georg wanted to prove that they are friends. Ulrich von Gradwitz and Georg Znaeym became allies from

I am a white woman. I am so pale, that my skin blows out the white balance in a photograph. Because I am white, I have been able to escape prejudices that so many other women experience every day. For a very long time, I was unaware of how deep-seated racism is in America. Because I am white, color was a non-issue for me. It was never discussed in my family. Why would it be? Many white people are blind to the injustices that others face, because it has never been something that affected their lives directly. As stated by C. Wright Mills in The Promise of Sociology, “...the personal uneasiness of individuals is focused upon explicit troubles and the indifference of publics is transformed into involvement with public issues” (Mills, 5). This describes how people are so focused on their own personal troubles, that they cannot comprehend the troubles of others. Therefore, they do not see the struggles of others as having the capacity to be a problem within society. Privilege is something I feel has only recently been discussed in mainstream media. Going to college really opened my eyes to the experiences of people who live entirely different lives than me, and interacting with people from all

The racial income gap illustrates that the United States is not a meritocracy society. A meritocracy society would be an area where everyone no matter what color or background they are from have the chance to succeed based on their own ability. Although it is certainly appealing and a magnificent way of viewing our society, in reality no society can ever truly function as a meritocracy and therefore having no control at birth and the environment where we grow up, and who we get surrounded with puts major races, especially in the United States in disadvantage, a country that is far from meritocratic compared to other nation.

The friendship between the two men might be useful for both of them, yet it is more useful for Lennie, than it is for

The men in the novel want to be like brothers to one another. They want to protect each other and to know that there is someone they can rely on. However, the world is too cruel to sustain such relationships. Lennie and George came closest to this ideal friendship, but they are forced to separate tragically. With this, a rare friendship vanishes, but the rest of the world - represented by Curley and Carlson, who watch George leaving his friend's dead body - fails to acknowledge it.

Do Americans believe meritocracy exists in America? Do talented people who work hard earning the reward that they deserve? Do talented people have enough challenges for their promotion that they merit? Living in the United States, many people think meritocracy exists because people expect about the opportunities to learn, to work, to earn, and to deserve. People also think they may have chances to earn what they deserve because the trusting of meritocracy. However, talented people do not receive any adequate reward as they expect. Meritocracy does not exist in America and becomes a myth for many debates. Moreover, most talented people in America who work hard still have fewer resources, less promotion,

Firstly, these stories have different themes; the theme in “The Interlopers” is fear, anger, mysterious however in the short story “Two Friends” the theme is war, tragedy and true friendship.
