Why Should The Seventh Man Forgive Himself?
Should the “Seventh Man” forgive himself for his failure to save “K”?

I DO think that the Seventh Man should forgive himself, In the heat of the moment It can be hard to comprehend whats happening. I think the Seventh Man should’ve ran to him and saved him but it was just too overwhelming.
Although you can give the argument “He should’ve been brave and saved him!” Well, It's not that easy, It's not like he didn’t want to save him, it's just that he was caught in the moment and couldn’t do anything. Kind of like saying “Your friend is getting bullied on the other side of the school help him?” Well yea you want to help but you can't just fly there and save the day, factors take play in situations like these.

    All Quiet On The Western Front Chapter 5-11 Analysis

    I don’t blame him, I’m sure he was really confident and didn’t think it would be an issue. In hindsight, that might’ve been a smarter choice to get help. I feel really bad for him and how now he has to carry this burden of not saving her. I predict that Will is going to die over there, and since the prologue of this story says Iris withheld a letter, I predict she’ll withhold Will’s letter to try to make Emma’s life a bit happier for as long as she can keep it…

    An essay about the Scarlet Ibis

    If I was the brother I would have done the same thing but for different reasons. I would want him to be able to walk and swim so he wouldn't feel like he wasn't normal, so he would be able to do things with his friends when he got older, so he wasn't left out all of the time. What the brother did was definitely one of the best things that ever happened to him, at the same time, he was selfish and helpful.…

The first reason Robin should have helped save the castle from an invasion is because he could courageously become a hero. By becoming a hero his parents would be extremely proud of him.…

    Janet Rand's Risks: A Boy And A Man

    The boy in the story, Rudi, was just a normal kid who was doing one of his favorite things, which is hiking in the mountains. Rudi discovered a man, Captain Winter, trapped in a crevasse and he immediately wanted to help him out of there before he died from being frozen to death. “A head appeared. A pair of shoulders. A face was raised for an instant and then lowered. Again one hand moved slowly up past the other.” Rudi took the risk and saved Captain Winter. This proves that risks do pay off because it turns out that Captain Winter was Rudi’s hero and Rudi’s father was Captain Winter’s hero. Captain Winter was known throughout the alps as the best mountaineer of his day. Also, Rudi’s father was considered one of the best guides ever. Rudi is in shock right now becomes his hero knows of his family and is a fan of Rudi’s father. Talk about a small world. The whole point of this chapter was that even though something may seem difficult and be hard, you shouldn’t give up and not take the risk. You should take the risk because you never know what the outcome may be. Rudi had no idea that the man trapped in the crevasse was one of his heroes but even though he didn’t know the guy at the time, he still took the risk and saved him. This chapter clearly demonstrates why risks should always be…

    Does Kal's Happen In 'The Moral Logic Of Guilt'

    He had lost his childhood friend, Kal, in a giant wave. They were on a nearby beach exploring. Suddenly, the seventh man noticed the winds picking up and decided it was time to take shelter again. He had called out to Kal, but Kal didn’t seem to notice. After repeated attempts Kal had heard him, but it was unfortunately too late. The wave had swallowed up both of them. After a few days the seventh man woke up in hospital. Fortunately a neighbor had seen what happened and took care of him. No one ever found his friend Kal however. The seventh man eventually healed. Not from his fear of what happened on that beach though. He moved away and never wanted to come back to his childhood town. “I stayed away from my hometown for over 40 years.” ( Murakami, pg 141). One day he decided he needed to go back. He went to the beach and suddenly wasn’t afraid anymore. He swayed in the water and let the waves wash every fear he had still inside of him. Even though the seventh man felt he could’ve saved his friend, it still had to happen. Kal was put here to help the seventh man learn how to let go of things and not to fear them. If God should let it happen to you, there must have been an important…

    Allegory Of The Drowning Child Essay

    Singer’s allegory of the drowning child poses a complicated battle between morals and selfishness. His point that one is morally obligated to save the lives of others puts conflict in their mind. Of course someone will save a drowning child thrown into their path, but whether or not they go out of their way to find the child to save them is entirely different. Singer needs to first recognize where moral obligations come from in order to properly assess what they accomplish. I am morally obligated to go out of my way to help charities, and do, but not everyone else is.…
