Maybe he got into a fight so serious and he is murdered, nobody knows. However, the sight of this carcass or the possible imagination of what happened to him left one honest impression or virtue in the life of the narrator. The narrator begins to realize how imprudent and irresponsible he is. At one point he contemplates suicide, but realizes “the dead man is the only person on the planet worse off than I was,” he said (Boyle, 693). The narrator’s experience tonight proves that his careless actions will place him in a position that will likely end up destroying him.
In “The Man I Killed,” Tim O’Brien portrays a vivid story on how war affects individuals. Tim, Azar, and Kiowa are all at the Vietnam war in 1990 together fighting. Tim killed a man with a grenade and he feels deeply upset about the matter, while Azar shows no sympathy for the dead man whatsoever. Kiowa is the neutral man of the situation, trying to comfort and justify the death of the man because it was Tim’s job to protect his men. The story is told from the perspective of the protagonist, while O’Brien uses a sufficient amount of imagery throughout the reading to show the amount of guilt he has obtained from killing a man.

Or, when another person would be killed, he did not think anything of it. He saw so many people being killed that this was just a regular thing. He didn’t even care too much when he father had died. His sick father was now gone, and he didn’t have another person to take care of. He also lost all sense of hope.
Tim then imagines what the man’s life must have been like. He creates a whole fictional biography of the man: He was always afraid of war after hearing bad news of war heroes in his village. He never thought he could become a hero himself, he was a scholar who loved math, and he avoided things like politics. As a punishment for what he did, he creates these stories and feels very guilty. He stares at the dead body and then notices beautiful small flowers near the man's head, and a white butterfly flying around his mouth.
In the inventive, groundbreaking novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, the life of ordinary firefighter Guy Montag is completely overturned when his mind is opened to the possibilities of life and reality.

When I recover myself, my hand is sticky and wet”(216). He does not question whether he should or he should not kill the Frenchman; his natural instinct to survive disables him from having any conscious thought. As a consequence of the war, the soldiers develop a natural reflex to assassinate without prior
Man was created in sin therefor selfish is a character of man it is only through monitoration that man has learned to adapt in a civil environment where there selfish character is hidden behind their mask of deception.

Every night, for a week, the murderer would “look in” upon the victim as he slept.
“How does Bolt’s writing create a vivid impression of Thomas More at this point in the play?” Robert Bolt captivates readers in ‘A Man for All Seasons’ through his dramatization of historical events and characters. One very significant character we meet in the play is Thomas More who at this point in the play creates a very distinct impression compared to the other characters on the audience by his strong values and reaction to the events that previously affected him prior to this point of the play. Very close attention should be payed to the stage directions and overall diction used by Robert Bolt at this point of the play and even throughout the play because it aids in creating a vivid impression of Sir Thomas More. Thomas More deals
