Who Is To Blame For Rostam's Death

“You won’t understand and will only suffer misery… on my account! Well, you are crying and embracing me again. Why do you do it?... And can you love such a mean wretch?” (325). This is when Raskolnikov is beginning to tell Sonia about his murders. He believes that Sonia would leave him and not love him anymore. This is important because it shows Raskolnikov’s guilt.

As Rifkins said “ many of our fellow creatures are more like us than we have ever imagined.” (Rifkins 33) I do agree what Rifkin is saying. As you see the example he has given us about Betty the New Caledonian crow and Coco the three hundred-pound gorilla. Betty was under a controlled experiment and had to choose which stick to use to get a piece of meat out of the tube. As the study, nine times out of ten, show after she hooked wire was taken away by a fellow bird she then use the straight wire to convert it into a hook. Coco the three hundred pound gorilla was taught sign language. She has mastered over one-thousand signs and understood thousands English words On an IQ test her score was between seventy and ninety five . Which places

Raskolnikov speaks this quote when he confesses to Sonia. It is significant because it shows he has realized he is not one of the extraordinary men he theorized about. “The devil,” or perhaps foolishness and pride, caused him to murder, and through his guilt he now knows he is not above morality or the law. Raskolnikov also claims that if he were extraordinary, he would not have come to Sonia in anguish. This quote proves he has seen the failure of his own theory.

Sohrab- is the child of Hassan and Farzana. Sohrab resembles Hassan. When Amir finally meets Sohrab, he says "[t]he resemblance [to Hassan] was breathtaking" (22.49). Sohrab also seems to have Hassan's innate goodness. It turns out Sohrab is as deadly with a slingshot as Hassan was.

In contrast with this, the most loving relationship between father and son we see is that of Hassan and Sohrab. Hassan, however, is killed, and toward the end of the novel we watch Amir trying to become a substitute father to Sohrab. Their relationship experiences its own strains as Sohrab, who is recovering from the loss of his parents and the abuse he suffered, has trouble opening up to Amir.

    Raskolnikov shares similar traits to Svidrigailov; however, unlike Svidrigailov, he’s is burdened by a conscience that wants him to do the right thing. Rask has two sides to him, a dark side that is similar to that of Svidrigailov, and a good side that feels remorse for killing the pawnbroker. Rask has a bit of Svidrigailov in him because he doesn’t believe that what he did was wrong and has a wicked side to him that comes out when he sees the pawnbroker, especially in his dream where “he began to smash the old woman on the head” with a vengeance because of how much he

In this chapter, Ponyboy still in the hospital spending all his time reading and drawing pictures. Oneday he came across a picture of Bob in Soda’s old yearbooks. Then he keeps looking at it and thinking about him and how he had been killed.

To illustrate my point, Ruslan and the Rebels states, “ ‘I’m Bachtiar. Your mother’s half brother. Your uncle.’... ‘ How come you didn’t tell me before?’ ….‘ I would have, if you hadn’t been so hasty in leaving us…’” Ruslan used to be scared of the Rebels, but after those quotes he thought that he had finally a family, that is alive. My second point is, When Ruslan states that he has finally, “ ‘I have family. We will ask them for help.’ ” That proves that Ruslan is more confident that to say and trust in the Rebels that are

Raisuddin Bhuiyan is a Bangladeshi immigrant who is heavily influenced by the Islamic views and beliefs. By coming to America, he seeks for a better lifestyle which he felt is not enough living in Bangladesh. He encounters several robberies in Dallas as an Immigrant working at a local gas station in Dallas. He gets shot one day for being what he is, an Arab working immigrant. Rais is confused as to why the man, Mark Stroman, pulls the trigger even after he had given him the money. He is not angry or mad, but rather prays to God at that very moment. He prays, “...Then which of the favors of your Lord will ye deny? All that is on earth will perish: But will abide forever the face of thy Lord-full of Majesty, Bounty, and honor.”(Giridharadas 29). He begs God for mercy for the sake of his family, especially his mother who he did not want her to feel sad. He will dedicate his life to helping other people if he survives this tragedy.

After this reading of Lazurus, Raskolnikov expresses his need for Sonya as he states “ None of them will understand anything, if you start talking with them...but I understand. I need you, and so I've come to you” (Part 4. p.329). At this point Raskolnikov had abandoned his family and was now reliant on Sonya being his main support. Sonya took on the problems that Raskolnikov have even though she was dealing with her problems of family death, Katerina, and herself living in poverty. Raskolnikov knew that being alone was not healthy and Sonya was in the same situation, so he took

However, for

Soraya's father is very similar to Baba in his traditional culture ways, and believes that having a family, a blood family, is very important. “‘I’ll say one more thing’ he said. I could tell he was getting revved up; we were about to get one of the general’s little speeches. ‘Take Amir jan, here. We all knew his father, I know who his grandfather was in Kabul and his Great-grandfather before him, I could sit here and trace generations of his ancestors for you if you asked. That’s why when his father— God give him peace — came khastegari, I didn't hesitate. And believe me, his father wouldn't have agreed to ask for your hand if he didn’t know whose descendant you were. Blood is a powerful thin, sachem, and when you adopt, you don't know whose blood your bringing into your house.” This part of the culture makes it hard for Amir to come to grips with the thought of adoption and this divides him and his wife because they both want a child but to get one they would go against the cultural ideals of themselves and their parents. This connects back to his struggle for masculinity because in the eyes of himself and his culture a man should be able to raise his own family, and he doesn't see adopting a kid as his own until after he meets Hassans

Therefore Amoia notes that, "as the implications of the deed unfold in his conscience, Raskolnikov attempts to jusitfy his actions as a 'rational' crime" (53). Though he understands that he will be able to escape the physical punishement for the crime, he has yet to comprehend the burden that comes with such an unethical action. Even when Porfiry suggests that the criminal who murdered the pawnbroker may run away but, "psychologically he won't escape" (287), Raskolnikov becomes infuriated and accuses Porfiry of trying to scare him. However, Raskolnikov fails to understand the meaning behind Porfiry's words perhaps because he still chooses not to rely on his conscience and confess to the crime.While the superiority complex sets him apart from the society in the beginning, his piercing conscience distances him from people later on in the novel. He refuses to speak to Razumuikhin or to his family. It only before he goes to jail, that he decides to see his mother. Even when he does so, he is relieved that Dunya is not in the room. He later admits to Dunya that he doesn't, "even remember why [I] even went" to meet his mother. His conscience does not allow him to face his loved ones and eventually, he tries to isolate himself from society. While Raskolnikov tries to alienate himself from his own conscience, he is alienating himself from humanity in general.

Some of the characters in the story wanted power but are not willing to do it the appropriate way. Without a doubt, these characters are devious, conniving, back stabbing people. Time and time after they did unimaginable efforts to gain power. More, Brutes and others slaughtered
