The document discusses the importance of religious supporting characters in The Stranger by Albert Camus and The Thief and the Dogs by Naguib Mahfouz. In The Stranger, the Magistrate interrogates the protagonist Mersault about his lack of religious faith.

While the characters differ in their approaches, both aim to influence the protagonists with their religious beliefs and are essential to developing the characters and advancing the plots.
The document discusses the appropriateness and significance of the title "Pride and Prejudice" for Jane Austen's novel. It explains that the main themes of the book are pride and prejudice, which are exemplified through the characters of Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet. Their initial pride and prejudices against each other eventually disappear as they recognize the hollowness of these sentiments, allowing them to fall in love and overcome the obstacles their pride created. The title perfectly captures the essence of the novel's exploration of these human faults and virtues.
This summarizes a scholarly article analyzing Doris Lessing's novel The Golden Notebook through a Hegelian lens. It argues that the protagonist Anna exhibits an "unhappy consciousness" as described by Hegel, being fragmented and disoriented after losing her previous political and moral certainties. Anna recognizes that her various notebooks fail to fully capture her experiences. The essay analyzes Anna's self-awareness and desire for recognition through concepts like Hegel's understanding of self-consciousness as developing through reciprocal desire and recognition between individuals. It views Anna's sexuality and assessments of potential partners as part of her process of learning to identify objects that satisfy her desires.
The group discussed the novel "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter" by Carson McCullers. Some members found the book disappointing and wanting more positivity. It focuses on a deaf-mute man named Singer who becomes a Christ-like figure to four other characters but cannot truly understand or connect with them.

It also drew from McCullers' own lonely and troubled experiences as a writer.

Aidan Barry's 11H English Writing Portfolioaidanb2
This document appears to be a writing portfolio created by Aidan Barry for an 11th grade English class. It contains sections on goal setting and progress, methods for eliminating wordiness, analyzing comma usage, and revising major essays. For his first goal, Aidan aimed to write stronger thesis statements with a clear "so what" component, and provided examples from three essays showing improvement over the school year. His second goal was to use stronger evidence analysis, citing examples where he learned to analyze word choice and connotation more deeply. The portfolio demonstrates Aidan's focus on continuously improving his writing skills.
This document is the preface and first chapter of a book titled "The Visionary Shakespeare" by Alexander C. H. Tung. The preface discusses how Shakespeare can be considered one of the greatest visionaries, in the sense that his works often represent eternal truths about life. The book contains 7 papers that analyze different visions found in Shakespeare's works, including ironic, deconstructionist, semiotic, psychoanalytic, racial, humanist, and visions of nature and power. The preface argues these visions can be found across multiple plays, though each paper focuses on manifesting a particular vision in one or a few plays. The first chapter analyzes Romeo and Juliet, arguing it can be seen as a "
The poet Byron expressed the view that his writing derived from a painful intensification of self and the desire for relief from it. To withdraw himself from himself, to be relieved from what he saw as his "cursed selfishness," this was his sole, his entire, his "sincere motive in scribbling at all."
While I find there is some truth in this explanation for the origins of my writing, there is so much more to it; indeed, the raison d'etre is quite complex. It is a subject I have gone into from time to time throughout this memoir and I feel the need to expatiate on it to touch the motivational matrix, the explanatory framework, for why and what I am doing. Writing as I do here may be an escape from self, but it is also a royal road to selfhood. This work also negotiates the relationship between self and community in both the Bahá'í Faith and the nations I have lived in, Australia and Canada. This exercise in negotiation is also a source of the complexity I refer to above. There seem to have been many different impulses at work in these volumes.
The document discusses Carl Jung's theory of individuation, which refers to the journey towards wholeness and selfhood through reconciling opposing forces within oneself, such as thinking and feeling. Some of Jung's concepts discussed include the ego, personal and collective unconscious, archetypes, persona, shadow, anima/animus, and the self. The goal of individuation is to achieve a balanced middle ground between opposing psychic forces.

The document summarizes and analyzes Khaled Hosseini's novel The Kite Runner. It argues that the relationship between the main characters Amir and Hassan mirrors the biblical relationship between Cain and Abel. Specifically:
1) Amir initially sees Hassan as a rival rather than a friend, feeling jealous of the attention Hassan receives.
2) Like Cain killing Abel, Amir's betrayal of Hassan by not helping when he was being raped marks the deterioration of their relationship.
3) Amir's character transforms from a selfish Cain to a caring Abel as he redeems himself by rescuing Hassan's son, reflecting the novel's theme that finding peace requires reckoning with the past and relying

“Writing is hard for every last one of us… Coal mining is harder. Do you think miners stand around all day talking about how hard it is to mine for coal? They do not. They simply dig.”
Dr. Shriniwas Kashalikar documents his study of the Bhagavad Gita over multiple sessions. Initially, he struggled to understand the relevance of the Gita's teachings to everyday life and global welfare. Through persistent study and reflection, he gained new insights. He realized that the Gita depicts the eternal inner war between our higher and lower selves, and how responding to this war impacts society. It provides a remedy for overcoming despondency on both individual and universal levels. His understanding of the Gita's universal message continued to deepen through open-minded and thoughtful examination.

Response paper to english patient by buffy hamilton 2 3-04 elan 8410Buffy Hamilton
This document provides a summary and reflection of the student's reading of The English Patient. It discusses how acts of reading contribute to identity and create a "communal text" of the self. The student reflects on how discussing the book with classmates added new layers and perspectives that enriched their reading experience, making it a communal act. Reading is seen as dialogic and transformative, with each text becoming incorporated into the reader's experience and shaping their understanding of the world.
The document contains questions about short stories, poems, and literary terms discussed this semester. It asks about specific details and themes in stories like "The Bluest Eye" by Toni Morrison, poems by Pablo Neruda and Billy Collins, and motifs and devices used across various works. The questions gauge understanding of characters, symbols, metaphors, and the author's purpose through allusions, word choice, and literary techniques.
The document summarizes the author's study of the Bhagavad Gita over time. Initially, the author struggled to understand the relevance of the Gita and felt it only related to individual emancipation, not global welfare. Through continued study, the author realized the Gita depicts the eternal war within the individual between the higher and lower selves, and how this is reflected in society. The Gita provides a diagnosis of despondency but also offers a panacea through the message of immortality of the soul. While the concept was difficult to comprehend, the author kept an open mind and their understanding of the Gita's universal message continued to develop.
So much of my life has been a 'life-in-community' that I thought I would give some of the last words on the subject to that brilliant tactician of the personal & interpersonal, 'Abdu'l-Baha. He survived a most difficult community and advised us on how to live in community in our time. Since our own communities have been, are and will be challenges for us to live in, this analysis of some of 'Abdu'l-Baha's final words before He passed away several years later will be timely. This section of my autobiography, then, will deal with biography, ‘Abdu’l-Baha’s treatment of the subject.
"With penetrating detail, crisp style and emphasis on the compression of facts; with vivid images, usually not more than three or four pages as he discusses the life of each individual,, with a concision of explanation or commentary, with a specific point of view, a style of biography has continued from classical times into the twentieth century. This is biography in miniature. It has a certain bias toward the person over the event, toward art as smallness of scale, toward structuring the confusions of daily life into patterns of continuity and process. There is a broad intent to sustain an interpretation or characterisation with facts teased, coloured, given life by a certain presentation and appraisal. Facts about the past are no more history than butter, eggs, salt and pepper are an omelette. They must be whipped up and played with in a certain fashion." -Ron Price with appreciation to Ira Bruce Nadel, “Biography as Institution,” Biography, Fiction, Fact and Form, St. Martin’s Press, NY, 1984, pp.13-66.
Nadel, whom I quote in the opening passage of this essay, goes on to say that the “recreation of a life in words is one of the most beautiful and difficult tasks a literary artist can perform." Freud said the recreation of a life, the getting at the truth of a life, can not be done; and if someone does do it, as inevitably biographers try, the result is not useful to us. People have been trying to write about the lives of others for millennia and, even if Freud is right, they will probably go on doing it anyway..
The document provides guidance on various aspects of fiction writing, including defining the elements of a story, creating characters, and developing conflicts and resolutions in narratives.

This poem by Sir Philip Sidney explores the speaker's complex attitude toward desire. In the poem, the speaker characterizes desire as a destructive force that has "mangled" his mind and led him to pursue shallow satisfactions. However, by the end of the poem the speaker declares that desire has tried and failed to ruin him, and that he will now seek fulfillment from within rather than be controlled by his desires. The speaker conveys his journey from being a victim of desire to gaining independence and control over his own mind through harsh and accusatory language as well as repetition for emphasis.

The student agrees with Morris, arguing that in the film there could only be one person who actually killed the samurai, despite different character testimonies. The student also analyzes how perception and memory can affect eyewitness accounts. In the end, the essay concludes Morris's view of one single objective truth is more reasonable than the idea that truth depends on individual perspectives.

2015 CURSO 'A PRÁTICA DO PSICANALISTA' - Aula 8: a palavra do psicanalistaAlexandre Simoes
O documento discute a prática da interpretação no psicanalista, especificamente a regra da associação livre estabelecida por Freud e as perspectivas estrutural e topológica introduzidas por Lacan. Lacan criticou a tradição pós-freudiana por reservar à palavra do psicanalista um lugar explicativo em vez de promover ondas com a interpretação.

This document discusses how Samuel Beckett's play Waiting for Godot aligns with the philosophical school of existentialism. It provides background on existentialism, noting its key tenets like the lack of inherent meaning or purpose in life, and humanity's responsibility to define existence for oneself. The document analyzes how Godot depicts these existentialist ideas through its plot of two men aimlessly waiting without knowing if their purpose will arrive, representing the absurdity and anxiety of the human condition with no higher power or meaning.

It then outlines the development of polio vaccines in the 1950s by Jonas Salk and Albert Sabin which led to a dramatic reduction in polio cases in the United States.

This document provides an analysis and comparison of two film critics' perspectives on truth and reality as portrayed in the film Rashomon. It summarizes Errol Morris' view that there is one absolute truth that can be objectively known, versus Roger Ebert's view that truth is subjective based on individual perception. The document argues that Ebert's perspective is more applicable to understanding the multiple, contradictory witness accounts in Rashomon, as human nature leaves truth open to interpretation due to limited and biased perspectives.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

Importance of Religious Supporting Characters
Albert Camus, the author of The Stranger and Naguib Mahfouz who is the author
of The Theif and the Dogs have created a specific set of characters designed to support
the protagonist in each novel. (In both existentialist novels, The Stranger by Albert Camus and The
Thief and the Dogs by Naguib Mafouz, the authors utilize unique minor characters to accentuate the
qualities of each protagonist). Minor characters in each piece of work (literary work) heavily
influence the mindset and character development of the protagonists(; one through
instruction and the other through interrogation). In these pieces of work, the minor characters
that influence (Influential characters (minor characters that influence seems somewhat
clumbsy/awkward) (either positively or negatively not really necessary) happen to be religious
followers(more eloquent form: pious zealots of religion). The Magistrate from The Stranger is a
strong, faithful (devout instead of strong, faithful) Christian who does not understand why
Mersault cannot open his eyes and his heart to believing in God (Maybe: “The Magistrate….
Who cannot empathize with Mersault’s callous disposition towards the notion of God.”) In the other
piece of work from The Thief and the Dogs In The Thief and the Dogs (the other piece of work
isn’t necessary and is a bit informal), the Sheikh is a Suci who is a faithful Muslim that advises
Said Mahran how to transform into a better person by applying the Muslim faith into his
daily life.( I think it is “Sufi”. Sufi who is a faithful muslim seems redundant. Maybe “The Sheikh is a
faithful practitioner of Sufism, a Muslim denomination, WHO instills in Said Mahran a desire to cast away
his past and become a moral man through applying the Muslim faith into his daily life.” (or “a desire to
3. Bunker 3
cleanse his heart of all but God”?) While exploring (Not necessary, but if you want to use it, you can
write “Through exploring…. One finds that the magistrate…”)The Stranger and The Theif and the
Dogs, the Magistrate and the Sheikh Ali al-Junaydi work as a religious catalysts in each
book (never say “book” always “novel”)to support the protagonist’s development (Enhance the
characterization of each corresponding protagonist.)from each piece of literature Repeating
because you already said “in each novel” before, so pick one. Though both are minor characters
Supporting characters (avoid repeating minor characters) and are mentioned only periodically
throughout each work, they are essential to contributing to the protagonist’s
development; however the minor characters have different roles in each novel. “essential
to contributing” is redundant. So “they are essential to the protagonists growth; however their
contributions differ."
As Said is released from jail and after he tries to reunite with his daughter, he seeks
refuge from the Sheik’s (not concise sentence, try: following Said’s release from prison and attempted
reunion with his daughter, he seeks refuge IN the Sheik’s…) spiritual, emotional and physical
shelter. Said is released (Repetitive (used released in the previous sentence) “Returns to reality”)
back into reality where freedom and betrayal come hand in hand, he was (Always use
present tense!!!) starving for revenge of those who put him in jail in the first place. I would
combine the two sentences to: “hand in hand. (end sentence) He starves for retribution against those
responsible for his imprisonment.” Top section not in chronological order (release from jail to sheiks
shelter to release from jail back to sheik – confusing) Said first goes to the Sheikh of his father
for a longing of his past filled with memories of nostalgia. Maybe: “Said immediately seeks the
council of his father’s friend, the Sheikh in a longing for the catharsis of nostalgia from his past
experiences.”? When Said first enters the Sheik’s (Saying sheikh too much. Here it is not
necessary) mosque he “ [finds] himself bending over [Sheik’s] hand to kiss it” which
4. Bunker 4
shows (never use shows) portrays/illustrates/depicts/exemplifies Said’s trust and calm manner around
the Sheikh. Said’s feelings of being comfortable with the Shiekh and trusting him
(Mahfouz 33). Especially since his daughter, Sana, disowned him, Said feels that he
needs to go to an emotional, spiritual and physical safe shelter in which he feels secure
at the Sheik’s because Said asks himself, “What other refuge have I?” (Mahfouz 33).
Said’s rhetorical question, “What other refuge have I”(Mafouz 33), enhances feelings of insecurity,
resulting from Sana’s rejection, that he removes through the comfort of the Sheikh’s refuge” (the
emotional, spiritual… thing is repetitive if you use it again) The Sheikh repeatedly replies
“repeatedly replies to said by telling him that” is awkward: “counters Said’s remarks by responding, ‘….”
(Mahfouz 32). to Said by telling him that “ ‘ If you love God, then follow me and God will
love you’ and words: ‘Love is acceptance, which means obeying His commands and
refraining from what He has prohibited and contentment with what He decrees and
ordains.’ ” (Mahfouz 32). More wise words from the Sheikh allows Said to have a
opened point of view, “ ‘the eyes of their hearts are open, but those in their heads are
closed’ ” (Mahfouz 75). (“The Sheikh’s sage advice allows Said to open his mind, since, ‘the eyes of
their hearts….”). Join the next two sentences: “the similarities between the Sheikh and Said are evident in
that the protagonist is not in this world, but lost in his hatred and vengeance while the supporting
character "is lost in heaven."
The Sheikh shows similarities to Said. This is shown when Said is not in this
world and is lost in his hatred and vengeance as well as Sheikh “is lost in heaven”
(Mahfouz 33). Said does not intentionally refuse the Shiekh’s advice that Said “seek[s]
the walls, not the heart”, meaning that Said is set on revenge and cannot dig deeper
and listen to his advice to become a better person (Mahfouz 27). “cannot be introspective
and realizes that he needs to better himself”. The minor role of the Sheikh has a major
5. Bunker 5
impact on the reader’s personal view points of Said and their relationship. Reorganize
sentence: “the minor role of the sheikh and his relationship with the protagonist impact the reader's
personal interpretation of Said."
The examining intrusive Magistrate from The Stranger, allows the reader’s to see
the stubbornness (accentuates/enhances/reveals the stubbornness) of Mersault’s character to
remain faithless and to remain “to remain” = repetitive and not necessary outside of society’s
rules. (and an anomaly to societies standards” or “a stranger to societies rules/standards” (second one
plays with title) I so clever) When Mersault is arrested, the Magistrate questions Mersault
several times after his arrest Repetitive. “…the magistrate questions Mersault repeatedly.” After
the Magistrate is disturbed by Mersault’s lack of grief over his mother’s death, Awkward
beginning, try: “Disturbed by Mersault’s lack of grief over his mother’s death, the Magistrate continues
to…” he continues to “ask [Mersault] if [he] believed in God” (Camus 69). The Magistrate
is very upfront about his religious confrontation to Mersault, and tells Mersault Awkward,
try: “the Magistrate’s conspicuous disapproval to Mersault’s religious theories is evident when he says…”
“it was impossible; all men believed in God, even those who turn their backs on Him”
(Camus 69). The Magistrate could not understand that someone would want to remain
without believing in God Make more concise: “Godless/faithless”?. The Magistrate is very Never
use “very/so/really” pushy Word choice: aggressive/assertive/relentless in trying to convince and
understand Mersualt’s way of thinking. He represents society at large in that he is
threatened by Mersault’s unusual, amoral beliefs (y) awesome sentence!. From the
Magistrates questioning, it shows that Mersault is not playing “society’s game” of being
religious Through the Magistrate’s interrogation, it is evident that Merault is not playing “societies game”
of zealous devotion to religion.. It seems that Don’t weaken your argument by seeming unconfident.
Just say “By the end of the novel…” by the end of the novel, Mersault is killed not for killing a
6. Bunker 6
man “Mersault is not executed for murder, despite his victims ethnicity, but…” (even if he was an
Arab) not necessary but for not believing in God since “all men believed in God” (Camus
69). “He told me that he believed in God, that it was his conviction that no man was so
guilty that God would not forgive him, but in order for that to happen a man must repent
and in so doing become like a child whose heart is open and ready to embrace all.”
(Camus 68) Long quote, where are you going with this?. In this piece of literature, the minor
character fails to make an Unnecessary: “fails to imprint”imprint on Mersualt’s spirit, however
it (he) helps guide the way for the reader’s “guide the reader(singular) to see…” to see
Mersault’s true chracter. The Magistrate helps to show the readers of Mersault’s
atheism and him not following the rules of society. “reveal Mersault’s atheist beliefs and
rejection of societies rules."
The minor characters in The Stranger and The Thief and the Dogs contribute greatly to
the protagonist’s development “contribute IN the protagonist’s development” (greatly doesn’t help
the sentence) throughout each novel, however, the Magistrate and the Sheikh differ in the
ways of how they went about encouraging their faith to each protagonist. A more concise
way of saying this is “the magistrate and sheikh differ in their methods of a religious intervention on the
protagonists.”The Magistrate continues to push and interrogate Mersault’s atheism
Remember those adjectives I suggested before? “the magistrate’s routine is
aggressive/assertive/relentless in cleansing Mersault’s atheism and says…” and says, “ ‘I have
never seen a soul as hardened as yours. The criminals who have come before me have
always wept at the sight of this image of suffering’ ” (Camus 69). While the Sheikh is a
character shown as Unnecessary: “is a calm spiritual advisor…” a calm and spiritual advisor
who wants Said to come unto the religious teachings, Start new sentence the difference is
that he does not force it upon Said but instead he embraces it about him. He does not
7. Bunker 7
force his ideals upon Said, rather he guides Said in the right direction through passive instruction.The
Sheikh says the following phrases four times in a humble matter, I think you meant to say
The Sheikh repeats four times in a humble MANNER,…” “ ‘take a copy of the Koran and read…
wash yourself now and read’ ”, which stresses the importance of him wanting Said to
find that religious spark and follow it (Mahfouz 31). Which stresses his attempt to rid Said of
unnecessary thoughts and seek guidance from God. Said comes to the Sheikh, asking
Unnecessary: “Said comes to the Sheikh for spiritual advice…” for spiritual advice because his
“own daughter has rejected [him]” (Mahfouz 29). Said comes willingly because he
questions that “ ‘if it is true that man can be poor in God, so is it true man can be rich in
Him’ ”(Mahfouz 79). Both of the supporting characters want these criminals (in their
own view) Do you mean “self proclaimed criminals”? to come unto either Christianity or Muslim
Sufism?. The Magistrate says to Mersault that “ [He is] a Christian. I ask Him to forgive
you your sins. How can you not believe that He suffered for you?’” (Camus 69). The
Magistrate is astounded that Mersault cannot appreciate the fact that there is a Savior
who suffered for his mistakes. Mersault remains faithless until the end of his own time
and being punished for not being just like everyone else who were faithful Christians.
Awkward: until his demise as punishment for not accepting societies religious principles. The
supporting characters compare and contrast Are distinctive in each piece, but they both
add to the character development of Said and Mersault in ways that if those supporting
characters were not there then the protagonists would not have developed the way that
they did. “In ways essential to the plot development”? Im not sure how to word that, but the last part
after “Mersault” is awkward…
The supporting characters, Remove, we can put it in later in the sentence the Shiekh and
8. Bunker 8
the Magistrate, from each piece or of literature gives aid in showing the reader’s how
their beliefs try to influence the criminals but they influence the protagonists in different
ways. “aids the reader’s understanding of the intrinsic value of the supporting characters in influencing
the criminals in their own manner.” While the Magistrate is trying to force upon Mersault that
he is the only one different and needs to repent and come unto God, the Sheikh on the
other hand wants Said to develop faith however as Said comes to him the Sheikh. I’m
confused with this sentence. Try: “While the magistrate forcefully proposes that Mersault must convert to
societies ideology, the sheikh slowly instills the importance of faith in Said.” Mersault is forced to
listen to the Magistrate while Said desires to go to his father’s spiritual leader. “Goes to his
father’s spiritual leader of his own accord” The chosen list of characters “Combination of characters”
in each novel really Remember, don’t use “really/very/so” helps shows the audience Not
audience(that is for plays): reader. Also, “helps show” can be more eloquent. Try “highlights the mindsets
of the protagonists to facilitate the readers comprehension of the text.”? the mindsets of the
protagonists. If the reader did not have that supporting character to count on as the
protagonist developed, then the plot would not have developed and been portrayed to
its audience. “Without the supporting characters characterizing the protagonists, the plot and
message/theme would not have developed to its full potential.” My teacher here recently told me
not to make hypothetical remarks. I don’t know about fitz but if you want to be safe you can
write: “The supporting characters are essential in characterizing the protagonists to develop the
plot and message/them to its full potential.”
