From the beginning of the passage, the narrator views Mcteague as a rather childlike man or more like a creature, but it is in the second half that reveals the author's tone as more accepting as he begins to develop a sense of genuine consideration of Mcteague's dreams. The death of Mcteague's mother gave him the opportunity to start his dream to build up his business of a dental office. We are introduced to Mcteague as a “young giant” with “heavy ropes of muscle”. It's the author's use of extended metaphors like “he suggested the draught horse, immensely strong, stupid, docile, obedient” and immense amount of details of Mcteague's appearance that reveals to us that he views him as a sight to behold as if he was a creature locked up in a habitat …show more content…
He begins to describe his workplace as rather simple and small, but it is when he realizes Mcteague's passions towards his craft that he, in a sense, abandons those examination and transforms it to hope for his future. This is easily seen when realizing that the passages that include long details regarding Mcteague and his workplace, are essentially longer than the single five sentence paragraph at the end that compliments Mcteague and accepts his dreams with open arms. This can be interpreted in a way that shows that the author would rather focus on what shows that the author would rather focus on what is wrong with Mcteague rather than praising him to high heavens for working hard and pursuing what makes him happy. This is shown through the tone shifts from the first two passages to the third and fourth. The author cleverly organizes his thoughts through the paragraph structure to easily mirror his thoughts from the beginning.
Mcteague is a man who pursues his dreams no matter his current state of business or anything like that. He is perfectly content with his state in life that none of that even matters. That is what the author slowly but surely realizes after close inspection of Mcteague's life. The author is
...fe for oneself. McCandless primary tragic flaw being his unwillingness to form long-term relations brought him both to the happiest moment of his life, but also to his demise. McCandless never had a problem with people, but rather with the status quo of society, the idea that a man or a woman has to live inside of a coordinate plane. McCandless left home and went on his adventure simply for his own well being, he achieved both what he wanted to accomplish while learning a valuable lesson along the way.

His exclamations against those who don't change their live to find all the “marrow,” hidden in society, shows his passion for “sucking,” the positive features which enable him to ensure he has spent his time effectively. Lastly, this related to “living deliberately(…),” expressed by Thoreau. This philosophical idea distinguished the difference between simply who simply are alive in comparison to one who lives a life that they know that they “truly live(…),” instead of later realising they haven’t done what they as individuals wanted to do. This contrast is symbolised by the comparison of McCandless and the social norm. The fact that McCandless felt implied to not take short cuts through modern day advancements suggested by the “plane,” and instead wanted to complete his trip in the way he desired leads to him exemplifying the meaning of living deliberately by Thoreau. Nonetheless whilst they are both different individuals, McCandless lifestyle and actions portray the life based on the philosophical ideas of
Just because someone is top of the class, graduated at a very wealthy, highly academic school they can still make foolish decisions.

Core Question 1: Why does the author use a metaphor on page 128, paragraph 35?
The poet conveys his attitude toward the character in a detached manner, seeing as the poem is not written in the perspective of the character or someone close to him. The speaker details the actions of the character in a sympathetic, respectful tone, but the choice of actions that the poet chooses to include seem to mock him. Perhaps most representative of this assertion is the choice to make the first word of both the novel and the poem “Cabbage,” immediately indicating that the novel the character has waited years to write will likely not be of good quality (1). Additionally, the poet uses the simile “a trophy pen, / like a trophy wife,” describing the pen that would play such an integral role in writing the novel with a negative connotation (2-3). The repetition of the phrase “not cheap” suggests that the extensive amount of resources the character has invested in the creation of his novel may have simply been a waste. Additionally, the detail that the character “dreamed in free moments at his office” and “excitingly” began writing is undercut by the first word being “cabbage” (17-21). In the event that the first word was more mellow, the tone of the poet would be very similar to that of the speaker. However, the choices in detail as well as the use of specific literary devices keep the tone of the poet and the tone of the speaker on two different

I have a college education.

In James Joyce’s “Counterparts,” Farrington, a troubled man stuck in a monotonous job as a text copier, attempts to mitigate his overwhelming stress, only to find himself further demeaned and frustrated.

Although the motifs and recurring elements in the office setting reinforce the theme, they are also used to foreshadow impending events and conflicts that unfold to tell Farrington’s grim tale.
