At the end of the poem "The Raven," what does the speaker want from the raven?

He wants
the bird to go away and leave no trace behind. His wish is not granted though.

The raven is clearly no ordinary bird. Not only does he speak (although only a single
word), but he also represents something else to the narrator, something dark. It's possible that
the raven represents the inevitable passage of time, suggesting that has gone will never return,
including the beloved . The raven becomes a burden, representing the impossibility of letting go
of sadness and melancholy to go on and live a peaceful life.

At the end of
the poem, the narrator becomes downhearted; he receives no hope from the raven and he falls into
despair. So he begs the raven to go away, to leave no sign of his ominous presence: "Leave
no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!" He wants to be left alone with
his memories.

But the raven never leaves. At the end of the poem, the
narrator realizes this is it for him, he is dead in spirit: "And my
soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor / Shall be
liftednevermore!"

Why was Juliek concerned about his violin after the forced march from Buna?

When the
Polish musician Juliek, who worked in the electrical warehouse at Buna, speaks to Elie among the
crush of men who have come to the barracks at Gleiwitz, he is fearful that his violin will get
broken in the chaos. He has brought it with him on the deadly forced march from Buna. Elie is
shocked that Juliek is worried about a violin:

I thought
he had gone out of his mind. What use was a violin here?

Later, after fighting for air and his life in the claustrophobic pile of dead and dying
men, Elie hears a violin. It was Juliek playing a fragment from a Beethoven concerto. Elie
realizes why Juliek has brought his violin. It is his last connection with life and
civilization. Instead of being reduced to a wild savage fighting for a morsel of bread, Juliek
plays the violin, proving his worth as a man and an artist:

He was playing his life. The whole of his life was gliding on the stringshis lost
hopes, his charred past, his extinguished future. He played as he would never play
again.

Juliek refuses to go out as a victim. He is,
instead, a rebel. Playing the Beethoven concerto was his last attempt at rebellion against his
bitter fate. The Germans had prohibited the Jews from playing compositions from German
composers. Juliek thumbs his nose at this restriction and in the last moments of his life. When
Elie wakes up the next morning, Juliek is dead and his violin crushed.

What is a theme statement in 'A Separate Peace?'

Several themes
can be drawn out of the novel, but the most evident one would read something like
"Sometimes one's greatest enemy is oneself." This is obviously the case
with Gene, an overly-scholarly, introvert "preppie" who can only exist in terms of
showing his superiority over others. In sharp contrast is Phineas, not so studious but
well-liked by both students and teachers. Finny's general good will and optimism are
flamboyantly shown by the pink shirt he wears along with the school tie uses as a belt. (Finny
is so disarming that he even gets away with it!) Despite their deep friendship, the
"monster" in Gene comes out for a split second when he intentionally bounces Phineas
off-balance on the limb of the tree at the water hole, making him fall.

Several other themes focus on the subject of guilt, confession and forgiveness. Make a
statement that best fits your interpretation of the message Knowles is trying to get across. Is
it the idea that love can forgive all, or that some
acts of violence are irrevocable and their consequences can't be undone?
(Remember in the backdrop of what happens at the school between Gene and Phineas, there is a
cruel war going on for which the boys are being "prepared.") Along these lines is the
idea of the inevitable loss of innocence in one's coming of
age.

Critics have sometimes esteemed this book as melodramatic and overly
sentimental. Personally, it is one of my favourites; I think it fairly accurately depicts the
nature of inner conflict and the difficulty of finding any real resolution or
reconciliation with self once one has betrayed a
"loved" one.
