    Duddy Kravitz Quotes

    • 5 Pages

    Individuals may choose their own paths in life, but cannot create them. In Mordecai Richler’s novel The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz, the inherent and systematic adversity which those not privileged enough to be born at the top of social ladder in society must face to achieve success becomes clear. Duddy Kravitz, the central character in the story is determined to break out of a cycle of poverty and become a “somebody” to the world, but in doing so must sacrifice all morals and ethics along the way. Richler suggests that the capacity for one in Canada during the 1950’s to achieve success is defined not by a person’s talent or potential, but rather social standing and ethnicity. In reality, the “Canadian dream” message that Canadians love…

    Kurt Vonnegut Quotes

    • 3 Pages

    Kurt Vonnegut is able to tie together the idea that fate is predetermined with the ideas that life is meaningless, by pointing out that the actions people take in life are inconsequential. Billy Pilgrim sees this in his everyday life, as he travels through time, showing him that all the events in his life are already set, and therefore there is nothing he can do to change what will happen to him. This has its effects on his emotion as he is very distant from his own life, as he sees the events that occur around him to be insignificant, even going as far as to say he doesn’t really see the point in living. During a scene he points out a quote he has on the wall of his office that tends to bring comfort to people, the quote essentially says that there are some things in life you can change and some you can not and to be ok with that, but the narrator combats this with, “Among the things Billy Pilgrim could not change were the past, the present, and the future” (Vonnegut 60).…
