NERD1234 I am the Cheese Assignment # 2

The incredible reality of a life was tantalizing to Adam, his past deprived from him which now lay decrepit, a forgotten life of triviality. Pockmarked with bruises and scar, he never felt before and terrified of the vacuity and the lack of memories that loomed over him, he was scared. He was diagnosed with amnesia. However this was merely a prelude of his life from now on. He was trapped in an estate with a solicitous therapist who was insistent with his incessant question. However only time will unravel the truth, as memories rushed back the blood caressed his vein once again, Adam would tell of the violent jarring speed thrilled stories to the poignant and emotional stories of his past.

I think the sheer initial impact of forgetting his memories, forgetting his identity and forgetting his life was a frightful experience. He woke up unaware of this contemporary world and the turmoil’s today. Yet slowly he remembers. He remembers clues of his past which mostly frighten him. The clue of the dog reminded him of his fear of dogs and how he and his father wondered into the forest for a strange reason and got attacked by a dog. Another example would be the clue of Amy Hertz. It was because of her phone nerd call about his family which made him suspicious. But I felt he was more afraid then inquisitive. Afraid to find something that would change his life forever. After discovering the two birth certificates, Brint states how he reacted, how he trembled, he shook and had the shimmers (As stated in page 65) which are all signs of fear. Finally the clue of the Gray man. Despite the resent he had for remembering and not having the courage to face the reality of his past, the truly alluring taste of figuring out the truth was too captivating. However he wasn’t willing to tell it. He didn’t want the situation to arise again and him to deal with the situation. copied and pasted off the internet He wanted the problem to be covered up and forgotten. On page 107 Brint states how he retreats because he was getting to close to remembering. He wasn’t brave enough to face the truth. But Brint later forced him to …show more content…
I assume since diagnosed with amnesia Adam has slowly established an emotional imbalance and insecurity. Since the inception of his sessions with Brint he has portrayed himself as a character stifling with frustration but doesn’t quiet seem how to presume Brint to be like. Adam feels he is alienated from the world and lonely and therefore he doesn’t know what to think of Brint. He is confused if Brint is willing to help him or not and Adam isn’t disposed nor brave enough to trust Brint. Another example that depicts the idea of not being brave, in Carver the text mentioned specifically how his check was wet despite the fact it was raining. He was crying. He felt that he was alone. He was afraid of continuing without the aid of Amy Hertz. Finally his panic attack was significant in displaying Adams insecurity. The text states how Adam felt isolated and suspended in an unknown land. He felt his name was merely a couple of words and was as functional a Kitchen, stairs or cellar. He felt he didn’t even know who Adam Farmer was anymore. This all demonstrates how Adam’s lack of

    The father thinks back to Della’s funeral and seeing how sad Eric was crying against the doorway. Eric was seen as gentle and understanding to his father who was tumbling over his words. When the father brings up a childhood story about the mother, Eric is “wary” and “twitches” up, and tensions builds when Eric wants to know when it was said and the father “‘can’t remember’” (33, 37). The father desperately wants to remember Della by telling Eric a story of how she fell asleep as a child. When her name is mentioned, it is like ripping up a band-aid to Eric, and he gets annoyed with his father for bringing up a painful memory that he is trying to let go of. The fact that the father can’t be remember when Della told him the story adds to Eric’s annoyance when he lets out a yawn. In the next paragraph, the father expresses his fear of losing his memories of his wife which shows why he wants to continue to talk about her as Eric is trying to do the opposite and forget. When Eric remembered the story of the “spark,” it “surprised” his father because it was the first time that he had talked about something involving Della in “weeks” (43, 44). Eric brings up a story about when he was little and the family was watching a fireworks show; and a…

    The novels ‘Big World’ and ‘Aquifer’ reveal deep insights into personal discoveries. Tim Winton explores personal discoveries of guilt through the narrators of both short stories. Both stories share similar traits, their main characters reflect on the past to discover their personal guilt. The narrator of Big World plans a road trip to escape from his home town and his failed final high school exams. He embarks on his trip, aware that his mother plans for him to repeat year 12 and begin a brighter future. The narrator discovers his incredible guilt for leaving his mother without considering her plans for him “there is an ache that is still there inside me” a metaphor implicates the emotion of guilt Winton conveys. Similar to Big World, Aquifer’s main character discovers personal guilt. His guilt is implicated through the death of neighbor, Allen Mannering. Allen drowns by accident in the local swamp after tormenting the narrator. The narrator witnesses the event, but does not help or mutter a word of it to anyone. Allen’s remains are discovered years later and the narrator can’t handle his guilt “it is as if I craved discovery, even accusation.” Symbolic of the guilt Winton implies “the past is in us, and not behind us, things are never over”. He knows he can’t escape his guilt. Winton emphasis’s the personal discovery of guilt through his characters past.…

    Cheese and the Worms shows religious conflicts in the sixteenth-century through the court records of a small town miller who used different books to come up with his own view on religion. The fact that a man from a small town with very little education could use his very limited resources to become a target of the Catholic Church shows how much the Church was fighting to hold onto its power and influence. The book draws its information from the inquisition court records, which included the testimony of Menocchio’s fellow villagers and his own interactions with the inquisitors.…

    My adolescent legs strain as I continue along the path aimlessly, my stomach rumbles in emptiness as I realise I left without food. How can one think of such things at a time like that? I most certainly didn't, and now the only thing dwelling in my gut was the sore pain that was the increasing hate for the cruel beings that raised me. Lost in my thoughts my melancholy walking pattern is disrupted as my foot catches on a thick branch and I fall swiftly face first into a small jagged rock. Dazed, I lift myself up from the ground and dust myself off; my left eyelid closes automatically as blood rolls down the top of my face. Cursing, I wipe my face with my sleeve, soaking the cotton a blackish-red instantly. The shock dissipates and pain sets in, sharp agony mixed with a strange tingling sensation on my forehead. I forcedly push the pain to the back of my mind, and go to take my next step just as a small blue spherical object reflecting the moon catches my eye on the edge of the track. Interested, I walk over to it, and pick it up in my hands. After examining the dirt caked ball, images of my younger brother flash through my mind. Times spent together, kicking a ball in the backyard, taking him to his first movie, and then screams of pain, blood, oh god the blood is.... The ball drops to the ground as my hand trembles from the horrible images. I kick it far away off the trail in anger as Im reminded of the situation Im in. The smoky scent of a…

    Sorry for Disturbing You

    The story is told by a third person limited narrator, as it is only Ian’s thought that appears in the text. So reading this story Ian is our eyes and ears. Every description is given to us by his point of view, which means that the impression of the characters that we get is affected by what Ian’s thoughts of these people. The fact that the narrator is a limited narrator, also has the effect that Ian can only be described by his thoughts and the few dialogues that he has. The story is told in present tense and its progress is chronological. The language consists of a few comparisons as like a newborn child. The story is a short story which is also confirmed when reading it as it has a lot of the novel genre’s characteristics – there’s only four important persons in the story, there’s no long descriptions and flashbacks either. The story only covers a couple of hours. And as in fairytales it the short story has a frame. The story starts with Ian being home and having his wife Karen living at her mother’s house and his life is being all messed up, but then Michael comes knocking on his door and he brings him through a mental journey – Michael teaches him something. And in the end Ian is back and suddenly he has a brighter future – He is home, goes out and ends up home again but as a different guy.…
