Tree”, the authors explore how anger can change the way a person deals with a situation. Both
Authors claim that Anger can seek into you and change how you act as a person. Many people deal with their anger by holding grudges against people to cope. Passage one shows how the narrator let his grudge toward his foe grow until the problem was unfixable. In the passage
“i was angry with my friend:/i told my wrath, my wrath did end:/ I was angry with my foe:/ I told it not, my wrath did grow. This supports the controlling idea because the narrator did not express his resentment towards his foe and his wrath became more powerful and worsened. In the passage “In the morning glad i see;/ My foe outstretched beneath the tree. This supports the controlling idea because its showing how the narator was joyous over the fact that his foe was dead underneith a tree that symbolizes growth. This supports the controlling idea because he let his anger get the best of him and made his forget that enemies dont deserve wrath.
For example in A Seperate Peace, Genes jelousy and resenment to finny is very strong that he even attempted to hurt finny. “you see, kill me,now you know what it is! i did it because i felt like that, now you go yourself”. The second passage shows how genes wrath made his friend or in his eyes,his foe, fall out of a tree intentinally and instead of confronting finny about his anger towards him, he let the wrath grow and grow untill finny got hurt. For example “This time he wasn't going to get away with it. I could feel myself becoming unexpectedly excited at that”. This supports the controlling idea because its showing how genes reaction to finnys failure is showing his happiness that he didnt win for the first time and his anger and jelousy were showing. Although the two authors used two diffrent forms of expression, both are able to effectively convey how anger is a coping mechanism
