(Bradbury, 102). Here, Jim is violently fighting not only against Will, but against the reality of staying a child. Since Will represents the will to stay a child, Jim represents the side that needs to grow up. Literally, he is doing everything he can to escape and get to that carousel, but symbolically he is the force inside every child that draws them to adulthood, trying to drown out the child in them.

Bradbury points out that Jim does not want to have any children, only because people die one day and he does not want to be hurt. Bradbury also elucidates that he cannot look beyond the world, and only sees the present.

Lucas Hayden was a strong, tough boy who grew up on a farm in the deep woods of Missouri. He was tall, with a mop of brown hair and blue eyes that could pierce deeper than any kind of dagger. Although he was very quiet and shy and first glance, Lucas had a knack for mischievousness. Grown up on that Missourian farm, he was certainly no stranger to hard work, and took pride in doing his part. Even more so, he would go to all ends of the earth to please his father.
He is not only willing to spend so much time away from his family but also risking his life in order to save them. Everything that Jim is going to do for his family, is strictly for their benefit, and not his. Jim also displays selfness when he risks his life to save Tom,
Jim, a runaway slave and one of society’s outcast members in Huckleberry Finn, portrays the admirable characteristic of self-sacrifice. Jim is a father himself and when Huck and Jim are switching shifts for watch on the raft at night, Jim lets Huck sleep through his shift often.

He often done that.
Likewise, Jim had a wife and two children, but they got sold into slavery and all went to different places. Which was a common occurrence as families were rarely kept together in slavery.

Twain shed light on the cruelty of slavery and offered a detailed point of view from a slave.
Critical Response Paper #1 Gore Vidal Defender of the Homosexualist Linh Nguyen Net ID: Wg2892 English 3770 Professor: Dr. Cynthia Andrzejczyk November 5, 2017 Gore Vidal is considered as one of the most celebrated writer and essayist in American literature.

“People keep telling me life goes on, but, to me that’s the saddest part.” I think this person is trying to say they would rather be with the person they lost.

Beloved Jesus is talking to someone this morning in a still small voice. At times we have been hit hard, that family, friends, colleagues, spouses don’t care anymore, betray us or are separated from us unto death, they suddenly forget all our inputs to make that relationship, business work. We have suddenly become the devil-incarnate to them or we wake up one day and they are no more. Any of these automatically stirs up the emotional side of human grief which beclouds the heart.
Participants in my bereavement support group are often offended and outraged by the so- called insensitive things that people say to the bereaved. One lady was so upset because somebody told her that she could still find a new husband, as she was still young.
