Both Joe and Tea Cake’s funerals are representative of how they lived as people. Joe constantly exuded an aura of power and dominance and made people respect him. As a result, he was seen as a god-like figure by many and in a sense was impossible to relate to. The imagery of “[p]eople on farm horses and mules; babies riding astride of brothers ' and sisters ' backs” (88) makes it seem as though they are going on a religious pilgrimage rather than grieving over a loved one. By mentioning how the “expensive black folds” of the coffin “were resurrection and life” Joe may be likened to Jesus in how he was resurrected after three days of being killed (88).
Andy! Help me--Help me--Oh God, please don't let me die like this! Andy!..." (14), and the pictures of Robbie's Nike's standing out of the

One of the most common setbacks for the show was showing common sins such as lying and stealing occasionally. In the words of John Melhorn, the pastor of Faith Brethren in Christ Church, “The heroes often resort to lying or deceit or some other "sin," yet we are to admire them. After all, they are the hero.” Throughout the years it is a truly fabulous show that is still “craved” and “needed”, with it’s marvelous perseverance that has had viewers hooked on trying to figure out “What will happen to ‘Andy’ next?”. Nowadays as generations are growing up, less and less of the population know about the show and the context at which it is talking in.
He is a well-liked figurehead among the community due to his level-headed approach to law enforcement. Andy has a calm and quiet life at home, enjoying fishing and nights on his front porch with his aunt and housekeeper, Aunt Bee. However, he does face some issues with his son that call for disciplinary action, as well as dealing with his aunt’s disastrous romantic life. The “I love Lucy” show and “The Andy Griffith Show” have a few similarities that can be compared to each other.
Love is a specialty Love consists of many stories and good times with your family and friends, but it also consists of many challenges along the way. In “Sketches”, Eric Walters explores the impacts that love can cause people who truly care about others and or are facing the same challenges as Dana.

“You used to think that you were better than anyone else. I have gotten pretty good at seeing that one a man’s face… That look is gone now, and I like that just fine. It is not just that you are a useful vessel, never think that. It is simply that men like you need to learn humility” (King 71). Norton is seeking to cut Andy down and to break his confidence and crush all of his hopes of freedom.
These sisters beat up the ones only that fought back and Andy always fought back because he felt that not resisting is a much worse. Also, he figured that they will stop at some point. Andy gains protection from the sisters because he helped the guards and the warden with their finance papers. This quote has a deep meaning and it is the major lesson of the novella. Andy says to Red, "Remember that hope is a good thing, Red, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies."
It is evident that marriage is full of ups and downs, but the way couples manage these fluctuations in their relationship determines the strength of their connection. Both partners in a committed relationship must feel the same way and work equally as hard to push through potential obstacles.

The emotional hardships and positives that a married couple endures on a daily basis are presented throughout the entirety of the poem, “Marriage”, by Gregory Corso. Corso’s poem explores the pressures and factors that influence marriage and sheds light on Updike’s short story about a couple facing divorce.

Realizing that the life youve been living is a lie takes a great amount of strength and bravery. It’s important for the readers to think about how Andy had grown and come to terms with all his mistakes, it lets us recognize how Andy was only a kid, a troubled up kid who followed the wrong path.
