Character sketch of George - George was a bank clerk (who 'goes to sleep at a bank from ten to four each day, except Saturdays, when they wake him up and put him outside at two ') and was living in a back room of the same house. The landlady suggested that, to save money, the two might share a room. They 'chummed ' together for some years - both shared a love of the theatre -and a life-long friendship was formed. George, who remained a bachelor, rose to become manager of Barclays Bank in theStrandand outlived. Character sketch of Harris - Harris is a vain fellow who pretends to be extremely hard working but usually pushes off the burden on other people. He is outspoken and does not hesitate to tell his friends what he thinks about them even if it may not be pleasant. For example he outwardly tells George that his new blazer is utterly revolting and that he must not wear it around them (Harris and j). When Harris takes on a job he makes a huge fuss out of it like the narator;s uncle podger. It may not be anything majorly important but if Harris is going to do it.... The world would know about it. He also thinks very highly of himself and his voice though his friends do not want him to even attempt singing. He is extremely fascinated by tombs and graveyards much to js dislike. He is also quite short tempered, it is best to let him rant off his anger rather than try, and talk to him about it.he would not mind a drink at any time of the day and enjoys the company of his friends. Character sketch of Jerome - Jerome is the narrator of the book. He is a young, single middle-class man living inLondon, much like the author himself at the time of the publication of the book, and the initial J is possibly meant to suggest that he stands in for Jerome. J is fond of history and literature and spends much of his time daydreaming about the days when knights roamed the countryside ofEngland. This daydreaming sometimes gets him into trouble when he does not pay suitable attention to what he is doing. J, like his two friends on the boat trip, is a little vain and conceited, but he realizes it and pokes gentle fun at himself, his friends, and the habits of others like them through his anecdotes, where he and his friends are often the butt of ego-skewering jokes. J has always been fond of boats, but prefers the old fashioned... Character sketch of Montmorency - Montmorency is the dog that accompanied the three men in their river trip. Montmorency looked like an angel sent to Earth in the form of a small Fox Terrier. He had a gentle noble expression, which brought tears to the eyes of elderly folk. When Montmorency first arrived, the author thought that he would not live long. But, he soon changed his opinion about Montmorency when his true nature was exposed. The author had to pay for chickens Montmorency had killed and had to drag him out of umpty street fights. Once Montmorency killed the neighbors cat and on one occassion he had kept a man stuck in his own toolshed for about two hours. The authors gardener made money by betting on Montmorencys rat-killing skills. He liked to roam around and fight with dogs of a similar disreputable nature. Therefore, he enjoyed places like inns and pubs

Poet and journalist David Orr wrote a book several years ago entitled "The Road Not Taken: Finding America in the Poem Everyone Loves and Almost Everyone Gets Wrong," in which he analyzed the ways in which Americans often misunderstand "The Road Not Taken," choosing to read it as a paean to non-conformity. It has been used in commercials and television shows, often to emphasize one's willingness to assert individuality.

Given the American tendency to elevate individualism, this is not surprising. It is also tempting to read the poem in this way, considering both the title and the first stanza:

     Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
     And sorry I could not travel both
     And be one traveler, long I stood
     And looked down one as far as I could
     To where it bent in the undergrowth....

In the second line, the narrator laments his inability to have it all and confronts the fact that choices involve loss as much as they do gain. The sense of individualism is emphasized by "one traveler." However, consider what happens in the next stanza:

     Then took the other, as just as fair,
     And having perhaps the better claim,
     Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
     Though as for that the passing there
     Had worn them really about the same....

The other path was "as just as fair," suggesting that there is nothing particularly good or superior about the choice the narrator made. Though it looks slightly less traveled at first, the narrator admits that it really isn't very different from the other. Therefore, the path that seems to "[have] the better claim" is "really about the same" as the other.

He continues:

     And both that morning equally lay
     In leaves no step had trodden black.
     Oh, I kept the first for another day!
     Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
     I doubted if I should ever come back.

     I shall be telling this with a sigh
     Somewhere ages and ages hence:
     Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
     I took the one less traveled by,
     And that has made all the difference.

The paths are equal, which parallels the sense of their being the same. Because it is "morning," he sees both clearly. He retains memory of the other path but acknowledges that he will probably never return to it ("I doubted if I should ever come back"). This is a reflection on the fact that we often do not get the same opportunity twice, though there is always a possibility, hence his use of the verb "doubted." Once a path is taken, it can be difficult to turn around ("yet knowing how way leads on to way").

In the last stanza, there is a tone of resignation: "I shall be telling this with a sigh" as he imagines how he will reflect on his choice many years later. This seems to be the part of the poem that many people overlook: those moments of wistfulness, when we wonder how our journey could have gone differently. Would it have been better? This line undermines the optimistic reading that people are often inclined to give the poem. However, the final few lines are not so much self-affirming as they are imbued with acceptance.

hope u will get help hhhh

One of the arguably hardest things that someone is faced with is the loss of a loved one. Death is an inevitable and natural occurrence. Death... the word is so harsh and final. At any age the loss of someone is a difficult thing to process and grasp. If death is an inescapable natural occurrence why is it so feared... possibly because of the unknown or is it possibly because of the people who are left behind.

I unfortunately have had to deal with the loss of loved ones on a normal occurrence since I was 10 years of age, when I was brought into the world of an oncology patient. Dealing with the loss of many close friends and family over the years, I have been able to change my perspective.

The hardest death that I have had to deal with was the loss of my grandfather. His death was so unexpected. I remember the day he died so vividly, my family crowded around his hospital bed and I held him in my arms hugging him as he took his last breath. My grandfather was one of the people whom I looked up to most, he was my best friend, confidante and someone I could always count on! All that being said, I took his death pretty hard, and it took me a while to adapt to his absence. It’s been over three years and I still miss him dearly.

How do you move on from a loss? I can’t say there is a definitive way, each person’s relationships differ from each other and so will there coping mechanisms. One of today’s greatest authors John Green wrote, “Funerals are for the Living.” That quote from John Green could not be anymore true. There is no denying that losing someone you love is difficult and a challenging thing to deal with. I hope that by reading this article you are able to gain a new perspective and possibly use some of the grief mechanisms to overcome and cope.

It is true that life is not always fun. There is a serious and sad side of life too. Life is uncertain and there are chances of facing a loss of any kind at any point. So every person should develop a set of values and attitudes which will help him in times of distress. It is said that time is a great healer. The pain and suffering of a loss slowly reduces and disappears with the elapse of time.

It is necessary to fortify oneself and have a strong mind to face any loss in life. One should not have a break down in the times of loss. In the time of loss remind yourself that this will also pass away. Problems are like passing clouds which will not stay permanently with you. So if you are strong one day you can be yourself once again after the cloud passes.

Keeping a positive mind set during loss helps to recover faster. It is said that success begets success. So if a person thinks in a positive way he will attract positive reactions and will be able to overcome the loss much faster.

The loss coping process people go through when grieving is as different as the people who cope, or as those who are affected by the an undesirable event. Although, in the broad form, there are similarities in the way that different people cope with loss, how these people grief is often different. According to Nolen-Hoeksema & Judith Larson (1999), people often have set believes about how others should cope with losses, yet, they always show differences in the strategies they employ to cope with the emotional and practical consequences that results from a loss. These differences in strategies are often tied to the differences in the  losses suffered, age of the affected person, gender, and personality characteristics. This paper will examine the way that people cope with loss and the different strategies they use to adopt to these losses.
