Thomas Hudson and Roger Davis: Two middle-aged men 'stuck in time'
The main protagonist of Ernest Hemingway's posthumously-published novel Islands in the Stream is Thomas Hudson, an artist living on a tropical island who is trying to leave his past behind him as a heavy drinker. Hudson's goal is to gain control over his appetite for drink so he can realize his potential as an artist. However, many dispiriting events occur over the course of the book which increases the attractions of drink to Hudson. For example, in the first section of the book, Hudson takes his son David on a fishing expedition. After David makes a great catch and makes his father proud, the boy dies in a freak car accident after leaving the island....
This gives Hudson another excuse to drink. The book's plot unfolds in a series of thwarted attempts of Hudson to have a positive impact on the world but going back to drinking. His friend Roger Davis is a mirror image of Hudson: Roger is a writer but also is an alcoholic and Hudson's behaviors justify Roger's own drinking and fighting.

Just like Hudson continually gets drunk, regrets his drinking, and yet repeats his negative behaviors, Roger challenges a man who is not his equal and then is filled with self-hatred afterward when he hurts his opponent. Instead of writing, Roger drinks and fights, just like instead of creating art, Hudson drinks and talks about art. The island location, although idyllic, seems to trap both men in a kind of 'suspended animation.' They want to move forward from their middle-aged existences and realize their potential but do…

As the interviewee noted, he and his colleagues had no sense that this controversial plan was in the works. Moreover, even with knowledge of the
"Would you like a white woman Wongee?" Jimmie asked. "Don't seem ter make their cow-cockies happy, having white woman for 'is wife. Why else he come after black girls? Must be sum'pin to white women we ain't been told" (p. 11). The implication drawn from Wongee is that aboriginal females are sexier than white women, but Jimmie is sexually attracted to the white woman. On page 12 Wongee describes an

interventionism from the perspective of realism vs. idealism. Realism is defined in relationship to states' national interests whereas idealism is defined in relation to the UN's Responsibility to Protect doctrine -- a doctrine heavily influenced by Western rhetoric over the past decade. By addressing the question of interventionism from this standpoint, by way of a case study of Libya and Syria, a picture of the realistic implications of "humanitarian
