Azucena Castro Professor Corti Ditch English 114A 16 April 2019 How suffering transforms people to kno ‘ue happiness after feeling pain i Oa ‘The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie soci a historical novel, by Mary At as voy fy Shaffer and Annie Barrolyals novel is about how was life during WWI}x\Vhen Gonna ~ ¢ >} \ i e _soldiers controlled Guenssey during the occupation of the Channel IslangS*the istanders were « \y i \ » is Juliet Ashton-she is The novel's protagonist and his role in this novel is a writer Juliet is “ v held to a strict one and severely oppressed. One of the character that I chose from this novel fi iN searching for’ more serious topic that she can write about under her own name and my second I K 1) character is Dawsey Adams he is is a native from the island of Guernsey Guernsey, the islands i) ¢ located in the English Channel between France and Britain Juliet receives a letter from him ashe “4 0 decide to Juliet decides to visit her new fri who is Dawsey Adams over her several months on the island, Juliet also falls in love with Dawsey and proposes marriage Finally, Juliet realizes ‘what she wants to write about in her next book. Julie's drastic life decisions while on Guernsey provide the joy and self-fulfillment she had been seeking all along. For this reason a can say that Juliet Ashton and Dawsey Adams are both happy people because analyzing the two characters came to the conclusion Juliet Ashton she likes to enjoy the litte things like for example when she came to Guemsey she enjoy the landscape als, I consider that she isan admirable and f free-spirited woman, spontaneous, and dedicated to her loved ones but especially to be happy. Dawsey Adar and also by be a strong man who likes to help other people, he is a4 who do not know him want to visit him and bless him for the kindness of him and a person who \ vA Ss Castro man that everyone admires and I can describe him as a happy and noble person because people’ i is not happy he can not be nice to other people. in this place where people live they can be happy after humans pass by having suffered and felt pain keeping that bad as a memory or secret and they begin to experience the real flies and that makes them not fall back into suffering or pain. Y Juliet Ashton is a woman who in her childhood suffered a lot when she lost her family A and stayed in an orphanage and besides that she was mistreated by a guy who did not give her / ‘much attention but when she grew up she became a brave woman who loved people with a spirit that she took control of her happiness, Juliet likes to enjoy small things such as, for example, the clouds, the birds, in other words the landscape. “ it was like that-every bird’s chirp was weighty and symbolic...clouds boiled up over the cliff-sides, and the fields were swathed in grey"( a 162). This is important because a person who has pain in the soul will not notice these small and beautiful things in life because people with suffering are unhappy and want other people to be so this also shows that she left the past behind and She started a new life full of love and happiness Dawsey Adams is a man who suffered in the war because his parents also died and he was someone stuttering to bullying also explained in a letter that Dawsey sends to juliet tells him a little about him and tells him that devido to the curfew that there was no war in the past after 9 pm and that it was a crime and that they could not have pigs at all but when he grew up he became a good man since Juliet says he is a man with a very beautiful smile too she says thatx i likes to help people a lot but above V fated her and in those friends goes \ they went to a church also he likes to read books afd that all juliet explains that his new friends have{degenerately Adams this makes me persuade that he is a hap “he has the sweetest smile I've ever seen... Dawsey took me to a tiny church...” (JyWet 161, 167). This is important because in spite’ why of all the bad things that happen because of the war, she is smiling because she keeps smiling, T and Juliet explains that she has a charming smile that she had never seen before, the bad and the suffering do not fill her heart with hatred and that in spite of everything can be happy since he of reasons I say that he is a happy person and loving XW \ a that when one says pain and suffering people never come back the same he says they always come back also says that the stutter that I had with the time that was growing disappeared op and more, Comparing the article of Brooks with the character of julie different I compare it because Brooks lost his son and went through the pain of losing a relative a loved one and juliet When I was little, [Jost my family in the war. Brooks says you can transform it into something secret and when he says that when you go through suffering and do not return the same thing, I relate that these people experience delicity later and do not come back in pain since they know the delicity transforming the past the pain into something sacred “it and secret of which only memories remain so I relate them. “It means seeing life as a moral drama, placing the hard experiences in a moral context and turning it into something sacred"( Brook 286) this means Ca his way after mot gone through the pain of losing his son and that in spite of everything that happened he had the g courage to transform the past into something secret and learn to be happy and in spite of all the y ' pain they went through. He stopped them to be feiz as well as to compare these two persons of ¢
