An unfortunate event occurred when Tub had to shoot (in what appears to be self defense) Kenny after he fired at a post, killed an innocent dog, then turned to Tub and said “ I hate you”. As the story moved forward Kenny remained in the bed of the truck bleeding out as Frank and Tub stopped at a diner in the midst of promising Kenny they would take him to a hospital. One they get back on the road Wolff ends the story in suspense when Kenny is saying to himself “ I’m going to a hospital ”, but it is made clear to the reader by the narrator - “But he was wrong. They had taken a different turn a long way back”.…
This short story describes Kenny, Tub, and Frank’s disastrous hunting trip. The point of view of this story is third person objective. This point of view is usually reserved for nonfiction, but it can be found in fiction too. Third person involves a point of view where the narrator is not one of the characters. You can tell this because third person pronouns and names are used to tell the story. Third person pronouns are pronouns like he, she, they, and theirs. The difference between first person and third person is that in first person point of view, the narrator is the main character and uses pronouns like I and my to refer to himself. You know his thoughts and feelings, and only his. In third person limited point of view you know the thoughts and feelings of only one character. If you have third person omniscient point of view, you have an omniscient narrator and you know the thoughts and feelings of all of the characters. When you have an objective narrator, on the other hand, you don’t know what anyone is thinking. The narrator is completely neutral and uninvolved in characters’ thoughts.…
“Is it not that the soul puts forth friends as the tree puts forth friends as the tree puts forth leaves, and presently, by the germination of new buds, extrudes the old leaf” (Emerson 223)? Emerson presents the concept of friendship as a tree where the soul of a person is the foundation and the leaves represent friends old and new. By presenting friendship this way, Emerson creates imagery for the reader of blossoming friendships, friends that will always stay, and friendships dying out. He also talks about how “the soul environs itself with friends that it may enter into grander self-acquaintance or solitude” (Emerson 223). THis can reflect back to the tree analogy because in winter, the tree has no leaves but will soon regrow them and leaves like a person will flourish with friends. Emerson took into consideration the tree as a whole and how it can represent a person’s relationship with their friends.…

Friendships are one of the major aspects of life people that come into our lives will either stay or leave people go through bullying, fights, drama, amd family problems. The conditions during the tough times simultaneously encourage and discourage friendships. John Steinbeck’s novel Of Mice and Men illustrates the natures of friendship during the hard times. The author does an excellent job of showing the strength of friendship, the lack of friendship, and how they were present each and every day in the lives of the people during the depression.…
The narrator is the leader in a small gang of tree boys in the ages 11-12. The narrator is a round non developing character because we know a lot about him from the text, but he isn’t changing through the story. I believe that the narrator is insecure about himself and therefore is afraid to show any weaknesses to his friends. ”I didn’t want to go on with it any longer……but I was the leader and I was going to have to fight Hass afterwards and I couldn’t show any weakness” (P. 42, L. 25-28) This shows me that he actually isn’t as tough and stupid as he want to be and that the peer pressure is forcing him to act like this. As soon as his friends is gone he goes back to Simpson and helps him (P. 43, L. 5-9) also he feels bad afterwards ”I felt as if my life was over” (P. 43, L. 22) and “I felt as if I had done something very bad” (P. 43, L. 25-26) which shows me that he actually regret what he have done. The narrator clearly has a bad relationship to his father, when he describes him, he only tells what he doesn’t like about him. “My father was a big man, six feet two and one half. He had a big head, and eyes that hung there under bushy…
