Victor And Bull Analysis
Even in the hardest situations if you persevere through it, the outcome can be good. In the story Cracked the point of view chances from Victor and Bull. Victor's parents are rich, but neither of them wanted a child. They treat Victor poorly and with very high expectations. Victor is bullied heavily at school by Bull. Being overwhelmed by his life Victor tries to kill himself. Bull lives with his mom and grandpa who are very poor. Bull’s family spends almost all of the money they make on alcohol. His grandfather who is always drunk beats Bull a lot. Bull takes out most of his anger on Victor at school. Bull finally has to much and tries to kill his grandpa, but in the process Bull shoots himself.
When Victor wakes up he is in a psych ward
…show more content…
While trying to shoot his grandfather Bull fell and shot his thigh. He's grandfather lied and said Bull tried to kill myself so Bull wouldn't go to jail. Bull wanted the pain he had to suffer through to be over. Bull wanted to run away from his mother and grandfather and go to ocean city and find his father he never meet.
Bulls time at the psych center was quite different than Victors. Bull felt like he had a vacation, he had food, a bed, and no beatings. Bull meet a girl that he liked in the ward that made his time easier. Victor felt like he was out of place other than his one friend Nicole he meet in there. Victor loves her almost instantly. Both Victor and Bull came in the psych ward with many problems, but when they went out they felt better. Bulls mother now didn't drunk and worked more. Victor’s grandmother now lives with him so he is not alone with his parents.
I choose the theme even in the hardest situations the outcome can be good. It describes the story Cracked because both Bull and Victor’s life gets worse before it gets better. Victor and Bull don't become friends in the end, but they do respect each other. You can't give up because this is just the beginning of your life and things can always get better. Life gets better and if Victor took more pills or Bull’s shot was more on target they wouldn't have experienced

    The theme is the brutality of war. When the college friends were discussing about the war they’re about to take part in, Kropp said “Two years of shells and bombs a man won’t peel it off as easy as a sock” (Remarque 87). This shows the brutality of the war because it describes the effect the war puts on people is not easy to forget and for many, it’s permanent. As the friends were taking turns discussing war, Albert explained his view saying “The war has ruined us for everything” (Remarque 87). This shows brutality of war as well because it shows how broad the effect war is on people’s life. The theme of this book makes it a good book because its outcomes relates to the wars going on around the world right now. And it has important message/lesson on life in the front in the Great War, instead of just viewing the honor/patriotic part of the war it mainly focused on a very important part; fear and pressure. Thus the theme of this book is the brutality of war because of the characters description of the life at the front.…

    However, I can see how people might see other themes as the best choice. Other people might choose a theme differently from mine saying that intelligence isn’t everything. I understand that this could be a choice from other people’s perspectives, but it is really about how you view the story, whereas, once Charlie turns to be smart, he finds that his happiness is gone. Once his intelligence flows in, good and bad thoughts stroll in as well. Nevertheless, I still stick with my theme that sometimes too much of a good thing can end up being bad.…

    Robert M. Utley stated that "The world remembers Sitting Bull not for what he achieved in his own culture but for his battle against the westward movement of American people… He lost not because of failings of leadership, or given his cultural outlook, failings of judgment, but because of impersonal forces beyond his control or even understanding." In other words, the failure of Sitting Bull was inevitable due to external forces, and his failure is not solely a reflection of his actions.…

    Nurturing a child is just as important as building bridges and driving an engine. Moreover, nurturing is what can help create a better society where everyone is equal for if a nurturer teaches a child compassion, love, and empathy, such child, who will eventually become an adult, can spread the lessons of sympathy among other members of the society and teach their own children the same lessons. The unfortunate truth is that, indeed, many men are brought up to be aggressive and consider themselves superior to women. They are less tied to the domestic matters and their families than women; however, I think it is wrong and man and women must cooperate and mutually depend on each other. Victor’s ego brought his miseries on him as he became less and less involved in his family and more and more in his harmful researches. Then, he was not able to nurture his creation not only right but at all. The only things that the creature knew were violence and rejection; therefore, he became a monster for he was treated like one. Victor has failed his creation, his child. However, there is a possibility that a compassionate woman might have changed the course of this story. If she were to give the creature a loving home and protection, he would have been nurtured a…
