Comparing Tim's Love To Mary And His Father
Tim spoke his love to Mary and his father differently. He constantly told Mary how much he loved her and how much she meant to him. He used caring words with her, and tried to comfort her when things were not going as expected. He told her how beautiful she looked as she was trying on dresses for their date, even if he only said it so she would pick a dress faster, he still meant it. They also talked about important things like having children and having sex. Those conversations would not happen with his father. With his father, he did not constantly tell him that he loves him or adores him, but they had deep and meaningful conversations with each other in which they showed their love for each other, without actually saying it all the time. That is how Tim’s loving words differed.

Tim performed different actions of service and kindness differently for Mary and his father. The biggest thing Tim did that showed his love to Mary through service was agreeing to have a third child. By doing so, he was not able to go back and visit his father before his death. Other things Tim did for Mary included being patient with her while she was trying on her dresses, not cheating on her when he had a chance with his ex, and being kind to her numerous times throughout the movie.

One thing Tim did to show his love for Mary was marrying her. Other actions that showed his love include cuddling with her, having sex with her, kissing her, and hugging her. Tim would definitely not do most of those things with his father. One thing he did with his father was spending time with him playing ping pong. He also hugged him too, and on their last visit Tim asked for a kiss from his father. They went on walks together and had a very close relationship. Those are ways that their physical actions

    It is a well known fact that experiencing war changes people; there is an innocence that is forever lost. In Tim O’Brian’s, “Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong”, Mary Anne Bell is an unusual example of the innocence that is lost in war because unlike the rest of the soldiers, she is a woman. Mary Anne’s transformation from innocent “sweetheart” to fierce warrior left readers with mixed emotions because although Mary Anne felt at peace with her transformation, she was also disconnected from reality.…

    Tim showed signs of maturity after the trip to Verplanck’s point and he realized he was no longer a child. For example, in the book, My Brother Sam is Dead, it states, “I wasn’t acting my usual self, I was acting more like a grownup. You couldn’t say that I was really an adult, but I wasn’t a child anymore, that was certain.”(C. Collier and J. Collier 133). This quote refers to his thoughts, how he was now in charge of getting things done and his family, or rather his mother, was depending on his contributions for survival. At this point he must now step up to the challenge and become independent and mature as the man of the house, so he did. Tim grew mature not only in his actions, but in his mindset. According to the book, My Brother Sam is Dead, it states, “Not that I cared which side we sold the to, but the Loyalists were the ones who had money—they had the whole English exchequer behind them.”(C. Collier and J. Collier 170). This quote refers to the money situation, Tim explains how the war has really taken a toll on food, so in order to provide for themselves, they sold anything they can get their hands on, to anyone. Tim didn’t care what side he sold things to, even though Sam was at war with the Loyalists, and in any moment Sam could be slaughtered, Tim basically put his feelings aside. Tim gained all these new characteristics throughout the book, but he improved upon his…

    The author uses literary devices to tell the story of an encounter with God, makes for an unique story. Furthermore, the author chose to portray God as a round and realistic character who emits humanlike emotion, this lightens up the story and shifts the focus to Martha, a dynamic character who develops into a relationship with a figure that was first regarded as such a distant figure from her. For example, when Martha first saw God, she described him with awe, “The comfort of her small disorderly house was gone, and she was standing before this amazing figure who had convinced her at one that he was God-or someone so powerful that he might as well be God,” (190, Butler). Before separating with God, Martha had a completely different description of him, “she stepped to God and hugged her--hugged her hard, feeling the familiar woman’s body beneath the blue jeans and black T-shirt that looked as though it had come from Martha’s own closet,” (212, Butler). This shows that not only has God’s appearance and gender changed, but Martha’s interactions with God were also drastically different. Another example of the developing relation between God and Martha is that God used to be high up in his throne, “seated as he was on his huge throne like chair,” (190, Butler), and both physically and spiritually came down to earth as if as a guest in Martha’s…

    Hayden goes into detailed explanations of examples of the father's devoted love. His love isn't shown through hugs and kisses, but through caring little things that bring happiness to the speaker's day. This happiness can be seen by the regret the speaker shows when he says things like, "No one ever thanked him"(5). The father's devotion is seen in lines 3-5, "with cracked hands that ached from labor in the weekday weather made banked fires blaze"(3-5). It is evident that the father, regardless of his own cares, makes the effort on those winter Sundays to try to make things a little easier for the speaker. Unseen by the speaker, the loving father has gotten up early and brought warmth into their home, and into the speaker's day. Also, in line 12, "and polished my good shoes as well"(12), the feeling once again is presented of this father doing all he can to take care of the speaker, and show his love through his actions.…
