1,545 words... Banks, 218). Finally Bob has a chance to make a living doing what he knows, and what he loves. Since childhood, fishing has satisfied his need to be alone and in the natural world at the same time, his deep, extremely conscious need for the presence of his own thoughts coming to him in his own voice, which rarely happens in the presence of other people, his need for order and, perhaps his most tangled need, his need for competence, (Banks, 62).

Mc Murphy Cuckoo Nest
1,805 words"Do I look like a sane man?" That's the question Randall Patrick Mc Murphy asks during his first Group Meeting, and there's no question that for most readers the answer will be a quick and resounding "Yes. " Mc Murphy's sanity takes the ward by storm: none of the patients have met anyone like him, except perhaps the Chief, who sees in this red-headed Irishman a hint of his Indian father's humor and bravery. Where the other patients are timid and quiet, Mc Murphy is cocky and loud; where they are...

By creating parallels between Mc Murphy and Jesus, Kesey transforms Mc Murphy from a simple man trying to help others, to a righteous man who helps people as much as he can. Like Jesus, Mc Murphy is not altogether an eager messiah, as is Jesus case in the Garden of Gethsemane, Mc Murphy doubts his ability to keep helping people while at the same time, sacrificing himself. While saving the ward from the evil ways of Nurse Rather, Mc Murphy ...

Fishing Boat Brings Back Manolin
396 wordsHere is what, in my opinion, would happen if we took the Prague characters to Cuba. First of all, Grete would probably have the role of Manolin. At first, she would take care of Gregor like Manolin takes care of Santiago because Gregor is to her what Santiago is for Manolin, which means he wants to teach her something. She too would liberate herself from her parents (as Manolin does). Finally, she would also take charge of someones life but not Santiago's: her family's. Secondly, Gregor's parent...

Anderson And Hemingway Use Of The First Person
1,182 wordsIt is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. " At one point in his short story, "Big Two-Hearted River: Part II", Hemingway's character Nick speaks in the first person. Why he adopts, for one line only, the first person voice is an interesting question, without an easy answer. Sherwood Anderson does the same thing in the introduction to his work, Winesburg, Ohio. The first piece, called "The Book of the Grotesque", is told from the first person point of view. But af...
