canterbury tales the knights tale
With all of the hunting trips that Ike experienced through his many trips, taught him many different lessons about living and many life lessons in which he experienced. On some of these trips he learned courage, self-reliance and conquering his own fear and many more lessons. In William Faulkner descriptive short stories the author use many different symbols that do relate to different things but it take serious thinking to decide what it truly relates too. Set in the deep woods of Mississippi in the early 20th century the story tells about a young boy who goes through a journey to be come a man and a respectable one at that. Though his use of symbols, Faulkner suggests that only when a person can face and conquer their fear, can they attain charter, experience and maturity.Faulkner effectively uses symbolism in "THE BEAR" by using the bear to represent the boy's deepest fear and the relation, in which Ike lives in. "Then it moved. It made no sound. It did not hurry. It crossed the glade, walking for an instant into the glare of the sun; when it reached the other side it stopped again and looked back at him across one shoulder at him across one shoulder while his quiet breathing inhaled and exhaled three times". The bear w
Faulkner's most effective symbol in the "The Bear " is the courage that the small fyce displayed in the heat of battle, showed the fyce no longer feared the bear or maybe the fyce never feared anything again. "And he now knew what Sam Fathers had meant about the right dog, a dog in which size would mean less than nothing." (Faulkner) The fyce knew that one day he was going to fight an up hill battle. He only had the courage, in which he believed in him self with. When he saw the bear and knew he had to do this, this was his one and only chance to fight. If he didn't fight he would run from the bear forever. "I don't know even that I'm not going to heaven, because they have already decided that I don't posses an immortal soul. So all I can be brave. But it's all right. I can be that even if they still call it just noise". (Faulkner) "In Sam fathers, Ike had seen in addition to the wild invincible sprit of the bear inherited pride and humility the rewards of endurance and suffering. And from the little fyce he also learned courage. (Jellife) Ike learned from the small strength did not matter, size did not matter, age did not matter nothing matter except for the courage to be brave and not scared. Weighing less than six pounds, saying as if to itself, I "can't be dangerous, because there's nothing much smaller than I am; I can't be fierce, because they would just call it noise...(Faulkner) Though the dog was small it still fought the bear. The fyce did not care he was out gunned he just wanted to prove just once he could do it. When the fyce saw the bear he went full force into the bear and wanted to fight. The bear probably did not expect such a small creature to do this but the Ike saw it and got courage from the fyce and recessed him. The tiny fyce did something for him but he also showed and taught Ike a learning lesson he never forgot. The hunting trips that Ike experienced taught him many valuable lessons in life that helped Ike relaxed who he really was and find his true calling about life. Ike watched and learn
