Pattern and Picture |
· Fixed · Person practicing without proper qualification. |
. Trying to gain control over a situation that is far beyond his capacity. Demanding too much of himself. . A child of alcoholic parents – her world is chaotic. |
If he has to come out of this intense oppression there must be a change which may be radical and violent, and for this hectic activity is required. A man trapped in a very narrow tunnel. |
He is doomed and so he can do nothing about it so he gives up. A paralyzed incontinent, old man. |
The situation is completely out of his reach. But he must make a last ditch, desperate attempt to come out of it even though there is no hope of succeeding. The captain of a sinking ship. |
