  • Use Of Arrogance In John Steinbeck's Of Mice And Men

    830 Words  | 2 Pages

    Consider the following: “Arrogance is used by the weak, while kindness is used by the strong.” (Hans F. Hansen) Arrogance is used to make some people feel better about themselves but it makes others feel worse. People use arrogance to cover up their flaws, making them weak. Curley in Of Mice and Men is often arrogant, especially when he says, “ ‘Well, nex' time you answer when you're spoken to.’ ” (Steinbeck, 26) Curley is asserting his power and trying to let everyone know that he in charge. The stern connotation shows that Curley thinks he has more authority that the others which is arrogance. “Anger is the emotion we use to avoid less comfortable feelings- confusion, fear, sadness.” (Anonymous) People become angry when the things around them create uncomfortable feelings. This applies to the other people on the ranch, Curley’s arrogance made them sad which made them angry. With anger towards Curley, George yells, “ ‘Get him, Lennie.’ ” (Steinbeck, 63).

  • Storm of Steel Reading Response Essay

    1567 Words  | 4 Pages

    Storm of Steel provides a memoir of the savagery and periods of beauty that Ernst Jünger’s experienced while serving the German army during the First World War. Though the account does not take a clear stand, it lacks any embedded emotional effects or horrors of the Great War that left so few soldiers who survived unaffected. Jünger is very straightforward and does remorse over any of his recollections. The darkness of the hallucinations Jünger reports to have experienced provides subtle anti-war sentiment. However, in light of the descriptive adventures he sought during the brief moments of peace, the darkness seems to be rationalized as a sacrifice any soldier would make for duty and honor in a vain attempt for his nation’s victory. The overall lack of darkness and Jünger’s nonchalance about the brutality of war is enough to conclude that the account in Storm of Steel should be interpreted as a “pro” war novel; however, it should not be interpreted as “pro” violence or death.

Brooks response to this is that the “readers movement through the book is a progression from murkiness to increasing enlightenment, and this is natural since we start with the mind of an idiot, go on next through the memories and reveries of the Hamlet-like Quentin, and come finally to the observations of the brittle, would-be rationalist Jason. ”1

  • Comparing Niceness And Kindness

    998 Words  | 2 Pages

    Job 4:16 says, “Anyone who withholds kindness from a friend forsakes the fear of the Almighty.” Kindness is shown in a person’s character. Many people are afraid to display it because they are worried of what the outcome may be or what people would think of them for trying to be kind. In Love Kindness, by Barry H. Corey, we learn that “kindness needs to be rediscovered” (Corey xiii). It is easily seen by the way one person acts or speaks towards someone that we can tell if kindness is being radiated off of them or not. Within my reflection, I will be comparing niceness and kindness and the major difference between the two of those, as well as how we can keep our “firm center” and “soft edges”.

  • The Sound and The Fury

    1230 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Sound and the Fury is a compelling novel written by William Faulkner. It was released in 1929, during an era called the Roaring 20s. This was a time during which literature reflected drastic changes in society, as well as the consumerism that emerged from the invention of the automobile. Faulkner, contrastingly, explores the themes of love and morality in this novel. But most importantly, its message of sorrow and moral decay are incomparable to any other novel. In The Sound and the Fury, through the use of Caddy, William Faulkner is able to portray the theme of misfortune: how each of her three brothers (Benjy, Quentin, and Jason) copes with it, ultimately contributing to how the family has gradually disintegrated over the course of the novel.
