Free Will Delta-Eleanor Monologue
With each decision.

"Free will Delta-Eleanor's Gift to you , and with each decision, you twisted her into your own image."

-----

"You made a monster out of me father. You left me in doubt. Didn't you want me to be like you? I knew I could save you; but if you felt regret, if you wanted me to chose for myself I would have to let you go, to let you die. "

Even as I tell him this, I have my doubts. Father has changed since coming back from the dead. I have also changed coming back from the dead.
Neither of us have bloodless hands anymore.

Father has always valued my safety more then my happiness. Oh, he tried sometimes, but he wanted to save me, more then he wanted (needed?) me happy. It makes sense in Rapture.

But will the surface,

Mother I left behind, and you chose to die, rather then have me follow you. "

I drop my extractor and grab his hand, pulling him to the waters edge. Ten years ago, I might have pulled him like this to get the next angel.

There is no sun today. Soon I will lose my last tie to Rapture, family, my life. Nothing to hold me back, yet also, nothing to keep me from floating up above the ocean into the sky. It's lonely.

But I am strong. Father has given me everything I have asked for, in the end, and I have not thanked him yet.

"You gave me the greatest gift of all. Something I have never had. My freedom."

At that, his helmet turned to look up at me.

"There is no name for what I am, but the world is about to change. I thought we would seize it together. "

My wishes came true, and the price was far steeper then I had ever imagined. I lost everyone. I now have nothing to lose now, and everything to gain. The idea of seizing the world together with father, was still not an unappealing one. We wouldn't be alone. But I made a wish, he made a choice, and I will not take anything back. We have decided on this.

Even if it was the hardest thing I had ever done.

"Yet as I sat there with you, I wondered If even I could be

    Once I saw my father almost lose his life for a lady he didn’t know. These are the kind of experiences that make me surprised he lived till this age. As people entered this place today, many walked up to me offering their condolences and mentioning all the various things that my father had done for them. Some said he was a brother to them while others hardly knew him. That’s the charm about my father. You didn’t have to know him before he sacrificed something for you.

    In addition, while he grew closer to his father in general, he would start to view his father as a burden when he was close to dying. Even though he tried to bury that deep within him, as his father grew weaker near the end, they started surfacing more and more, but for brief periods of time. One example would be on page 107 when it says “But my heart was heavy. I was aware that I was doing it grudgingly.” Another example is on page 111 when he writes “He was right, I…

    Thomas Jefferson once said “Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have … The course of history shows that as a government grows, liberty decreases.” In his novel 1984, George Orwell demonstrates that even though government control seems like a better way of life, free will ultimately proves to be the better path. He proves that free will is better in the novel through the constant government surveillance, how even the slightest demonstration of free will brings about harsh punishments, and through the government induced manipulation of the citizens’ lives. The Party does use its metaphorical “powers” for some amount of good throughout the novel though.…

    When I heard my mother called me again for the meal time, I decided to go out from my bedroom. While we were having our breakfast, my mother noticed that something was bothering me. When she asked me about it, at first I was ashamed to tell my family the truth but my fear and anxiety of the fourth coming event in our school deceived me. I found myself relating to my family my agony every time I talked in front of people. I knew they were surprise but their love, concern, and desire to help me in my dilemma mirrored in their eyes. I cannot bring myself to look at them because I felt terrible that at my stage I still have the said challenge. However, when my father started to share his experience of the same struggle I momentarily forgot my dilemma. My attention was glued to the person where fear and anxiety I cannot connect to his person. We knew him as a strong person, a man of so much confidence. We viewed him as a person who is always sure of the things that he says and does. He can really make things work according to how he planned it. He has an aura devoid of any fear, worry or anxiety. Thus, when he started to give me insights on how he dealt with his fear and anxiety, I really listened intensely. Among the many things that he shared…
