Winston Churchill once said Aman

does what- he must- in spite of personal

consequences in, in spite of obstacles and

dangers and pressures- and that is the basis of

human mortality. This quote means, one does

what they have to do, no matter what stands in

there way, or the ways in can impact them

latter; to stick to their beliefs and morals and

get though hardships. The truth in Winston

Churchills words is evident in the literary

works, like the Sun, byR.K. Narayan and the

interlopers, by Saki.

In like the Sun,Winston Churchills

words are shown to be true. There are many

ways throughout the story this is shown. Thefirst, is the characterization of the main

character, Sekhar. Throughout the story he

fights to tell the truth for one whole day, no

matter what it takes, due to his belief he must

do so. Second, is the conflict between Sekhar

and his wife. He sits down to a meal she has

made and provides to find a piece of bad meat.

Instead of telling his usual white lie, that hes

full, he tells her it is bad. He does this despite

the difficultly and knowing he will anger his

wife. Finally, Sekhar has a conflict with the

headmaster, of the school he works at, that

presents an obstacle to telling the truth. The

head master invites him to a concert that he

has been working hard on, to get Sekhars

opinion. Sekher realize quickly that the

headmaster sounds bad; however he debates

with himself about telling the truth, since he

does not wish to anger the headmaster,

especially since he has given him extra time to

grade papers. However, he tells the truth, even

though he then has to grade all his students

papers in one night. Therefor this story clearly

represents the truthfulness of Winston

Churchills words.

In the interlopers Winston Churchills

words ring true. The first example of this truth

is a conflict faced by the character, Ulrich Von

Gradwitz. He fights though the woods, in a

storm, to find his enemy Georg Zneym and

protect his land. Also, as Georg Zneym is also in

the woods looking for Ulrich, they both wish

that something bad would happen to the other;

witch foreshadows later events. This is because

both men get caught under the same fallen tree

in the storm. Despite their eminent danger,

both from the storm and creatures lurching in

the words, the men continue the fight; they

argue over whos party will arrive first and will

not give up their conflict with one another.

Finally, when they do become friends it is too

late because neither mans party finds them

first, wolfs do. This fact is both the tragic

conclusion to the story, Irony, and the

consequence of their actions. This is ironic

because those to arrive first are of neither

mans party. As a result of this evidence this

story shows the truth in Winston Churchills

Quote.

In conclusion, both like the sun and

The Interlopers are stories that show Winston

Churchills words to be true. Sekhar, Georg, and

Ulrich all face difficulties sticking to their morals

and beliefs and face consequences. Winston

Churchill long ago stated, A man does what he

must-in spite of personal consequences, in spite

of obstacles and dangers and pressures- and

that is the basis of all human morality. The

truth is his words rings though both stories as

well as in our daily lives.
