It says in the story that the dog Thurber would have restless nights and she would rub her fingers in his hair in order to soothe him. It is surprising that the only genuine affection in the novel is shown by Mimi towards Thurber and Brian.

Journeys Of Odysseus And Aeneas
... history of Rome down to the time of Augustus, and that vision gives him the self-confidence to act on his own initiative. Comparatively, Odysseus is driven though his journey beginning with apparent self-confidence and continuing with a vengeful vigor.
While reviewing the myth’s fantastic journey, I wondered if Aeneas was great because his fate made him great or was he great because he had the courage and determination to live up to the role fate handed him? There is a side to Aeneas, I noticed that is not very impressive, even when I could almost understand why he feels the way he does. He is sad, tired, ...
