As it is shown throughout past events, some people suffer through a type of evilness or loneliness in their life. The struggles that one goes through in these problems affect their daily life and affect how people react near him. In Hemingway’s A Clean, Well-Lighted Place a dark loneliness fills the void of man’s solitary existence, while in O’Brien’s 2006 film Isolation, physical remoteness allows for the entrance of a sinister shadowy evil, each demonstrating, in its own way, nature’s need to fill a vacuum. The inner struggles that the old man had gone through had been felt by his presence in the cafe. The young waiter does not know why the old man, who has most of everything, is getting drunk every night. The old man had been portrayed, by Hemingway, with despair and lonely. As the man is asking the waiter for more of his drink, the young waiter grows more impatient because he wants to go home to his wife. "He'll stay all night," he said to his colleague. "I'm sleepy now.I never get into bed before three o'clock. He should have killed himself last week"(Hemingway Web). It is shown in this quote that as the night goes on he does not want the man in the cafe anymore. Even though he keeps pouring him drinks, he wants the man to go home or somewhere else so he can go home. After the young waiter gets frustrated with the old man, he tells the old man that he is done drinking and will not serve him anymore. “"Another brandy," he said, pointing to his glass. The waiter who…

actors, costumes, lights, music, how well the actors verbalized their lines, what story was trying to be told, and what the deeper message was within this story. Lilies of the field is set on a farm in the Arizona dessert, a large board was painted to portray the scene. The board was on a rotation device that turned and changed the setting into the dining area where the nuns and Homer Smith sat for meals and conversation.

Take for example, the letter she conducts to Abelard, requesting and at the same time criticizing the Benedictine rule. According to scholar Karma Lochrie, this letter has undergone a general minimization by scholars in the past, because it was the first letter which broke away from the previously mentioned first depiction of Heloise, in which “…she seems to abandon her earlier protestations of desire for Abelard and requests, instead, a history of female monasteries and a rule appropriate for…

Marie's strength best with, “ You never heard any wail out of her, any complaint. You would never know that this birth was hard enough for her to die”(Erdrich 101). Marie's strength began at a young age attending Catholic school. Marie then joined the convent, and according to the nuns, “they never thought they’d have a girl from this reservation as a saint they’d have to kneel to” (43). The desire for Marie was to prove the nuns wrong, and gain her outward appearance of strength by showing…

The nuns where women of religion during the Middle Ages. Nuns lived in places called convents, where they would fulfill their daily duties. Many nuns lived in the convents, which included a church, praying rooms, and dormitories. They would wear black veils, stockings and shoes, almost identical except to what modern day nuns attire is, the formal name of this wear is a habit worn with a leather belt.

life included if she decided to follow a Buddhist life. On such source is “Diary of a Chinese Buddhist Nun: T’ze Kuang,” by Tsu and Kuang. This short read offers some short diary entries of Kuang, a Buddhist nun. When one of Kuang’s relatives became a widow, Kuang writes that “when the great sorrow came to her, she almost wanted to give up living; [then] she [became] determined to follow Buddha’s way” (Tsu 613). What this source shows is that in the depths of sorrow for some women, Buddhism and…

scientific development. It supported skilled students and freed them partially from the daily struggles over food and security. Nuns and monks that had the privilege to study and research inside a convent were often not fixed on one specific research topic. They often wandered around in the field of science without specifying on one certain topic - which made long lasting and more advanced development really difficult and often impossible. “Most of the individuals whom were recognized, and…

you do this for me” She took my hand at the last 5 words and touched each of my fingers and repeated “you do this for me.” Back then I did not realize the magnitude of meeting someone so great. Now that I am older it means a lot more to me. The next time my mom was there for “class” one of the nuns came running up to her. She asked my mom “Did you see it? Did you see it?” My mom did not know what she was talking about. The nun had said “she knew what happened to you.” (about losing the…

this close relationship. However, as Kim Gutschow points out various times, hard labor is very often performed by nuns because they lack the funding necessary to completely dedicate themselves to the monastics (84). It is noted that this is in stark contrast to monks who comparatively have ample resources. Since monks normally dictate a lot of what the nuns can and cannot do, the gap of wealth between nunneries and monasteries is only one of the factors affecting the Buddhist nuns’ activities,…
