Quote Analysis for The Crucible by Arthur Miller “Parris: …Let me know what you done there. Abigail, do you understand that I have many enemies?”(Miller 1.8). Parris has just learned that his daughter and niece have been involved in the summoning of spirits. Instead of worrying about their reputation as the participants, he immediately worries about his own name. This immediately shows that Parris is not the Godly character he is set up to be by the town and foreshadows that he is a corrupt leader in the village and that he will eventually be an antagonist.
It is shown with Dolphus Raymond, who people do not see as fitting in with Maycomb, but the reader finds out why he lives the way he lives. Similarly, Boo Radley is introduced as the town crazy, and something people should be afraid of. By the end of the book the readers see that he is a normal person who chooses to avoid the drama of Maycomb. And finally, the readers see Mayella Ewell, a girl from a destructed family who tries to make her life better any way that she can. On the whole, the author shows in multiple ways that a person’s image is different on the outside than on the
Miss Strangeworth tries to wear an innocent mask, but actually she is cruel. Jackson uses symbolism to support the theme of “The Possibility of Evil” by naming the main character Miss Strangeworth. The name Strangeworth demonstrates that the character is unordinary. Miss Strangeworth is different from everyone else because she writes cruel letters that are based on gossip, not facts. For example she writes, “HAVE TOU FOUND OUT YET WHAT THEY WERE ALL LAUGHING ABOUT AFTER YOU LEFT THE BRIDGE CLUB ON THURSDAY?
Censorship is also ridiculous because most classic novels involve questionable language, or somewhat violent material. If the library removes these books, the patrons under eighteen lose the opportunity to learn valuable lessons from them. A last reason that censorship is unbelievable is patrons over eighteen will most likely want to check out the books that are in question to be removed. If the town council decides to remove them, many patrons will become enraged. Deciding if a library patron under eighteen should be aloud to read a questionable book is the decision of the patron and their parents.
Aibileen gives her the signed book from the community before Skeeter leaves and she is very touched by this gesture. Because of Minny’s story about Hilly, Hilly’s husband fires Leroy and when he finds out that it’s because of Minny he is very pissed at her. She eventually can’t stand him any longer and decides to that the kids and leave him. Hilly visits Elizabeth and tells her that she should fire Aibileen. Even though she doesn’t really want to, she complies and does what Hilly tells her.
“Why don’t you keep your room cleaned like your sister? How’ve you got your hair fixed – what the hell stinks? Hair spray? You don’t see your sister using that junk (Oats 899).” Connie and her father did not have the best relationship either because her father “didn’t bother talking much to them (899).” Even to an extent Connie “wished her mother was dead and she herself was dead and it was all over (899).” So it is easy to think that her personal feeling to her family and her suicidal thoughts could influence her dream in which Arnold Friend threatens to kill her family and ultimately to kill Connie. Arnold Friend was mentioned early in the book when Connie was hanging out with a boy she had just met and hooked up with for the night.
170) the tone of the quotation, she was still using him and tried to convinced him to trust her again, but instead, Miro chose not to trust her ever again. Miro hated her since the day she tried to get out of the bridge. Moreover, Kate was playing mind games with Miro, on (pg. 218) she said, “ … You're alone. Alone in the world out there.
We, the audience, know that the women in the story have found evidence that would place the murder of Mr. Wright on Mrs. Wright, but the men in the story never find the evidence because of the little value they put on the trifles in the story. Mrs. Hale’s closing speech is another vivid example of Glaspell’s use of irony. Her dramatic pause before she responds, “We call it-knot it” (671) to Mr. Henderson’s question, regarding the type of stitching used on the quilt, is very meaningful at this point because Mrs. Hale has assigned the guilt of the murder to Mrs. Wright. Nevrtheless, her pause and refusal to reveal her evidence of the strangled bird shows that she does not hold Mrs. Wright
She never reflects on her mother’s difficulties as something that could’ve motivated her to become a writer. It’s possible to think that those unpleasant events might have an effect on her thoughts however. Anyone who sees that his or her parents encounter some serious problems because of their weakness in speaking any language would most likely want to avoid any similar problems in his or her life in the future. In addition, Tan’s essay also gives an important message to people who simply choose science or math because they don’t speak English well. She tries to convince people that no one needs to be really perfect in English in order to become a writer.
I know that was so hard for you to see since you never had a good group of friends, but I’m here now. I love you so much and I hate to see you this stressed about this person that has been manipulating you for years. It’s awful and disgusting, and I would beat her up myself if you’d let me.” My best friend said smiling. We just laughed about it, because it was so tempting to let my best friend do it, but I needed to do this myself and let it out. “I’ll do it tomorrow, it’ll be Friday and she’ll have to time to think about the way she’s been behaving and realize how horrible she is.” We both went home for the day and waited for the next day to come.
