His feelings about his surroundings were always made apparent and I enjoyed reading about his times in the boarding house. One day Sophie and Nathan have a horrible fight and Stingo is there to witness it. The next day, surprisingly, they invite him to join them at Coney Island. Stingo finds it odd that this man who was once literally a monster to his girlfriend could transform so quickly from an abuser to a gentleman, but he disliked Nathan’s views of Southerners because Stingo himself was from the South. He actually compared the lynching of a man named Bobby Weed to the acts performed by the Nazi’s.
By showing that she has destroyed her grandmother's garden, she has reflected her mother's parenting skills. Another incident was from Mrs. Tisdale asking a question to her students on what their biggest crime they have committed. A student responds with him “shooting a squirrel with a BB gun-wounding it and leaving it to die. He can outrun the sneaky attempt to cover up an accident, but he can’t outrun the fact that he was coward.” His act of cowardness fabricated into making himself acknowledge the fact that he is unable to run away from the guilt that will be haunt him as a result of trauma he received after committing the murder. In comparison to The Five People You Meet IN Heaven, Eddie has a strong memory about seeing a child inside the burning house which made him feel obligated on saving her in Philippines.
One scene in El Bola that does a good job showing the difference in thinking and acting between the two family or the old and new Spain is when the two families are having dinner. Although the two families are sitting around the table having dinner the way they interact with each other really shows the difference between them. There is a contrast between the two. When Pablo’s family is seen having dinner it is dark and they are not talking to each other except when Pablo’s father starts verbally abusing Pablo. This seen I think does a good job showing how they are an older model of a family in Spain because Pablo’s dad still has his mindset on the old Franco way of thinking because he is the head of the house hold and everyone else is lower than him.
This shows a lot of concern for the boy. When he offers him a ride it is shown clearly just how much he wants to help him. The man feels as if the boy in the corner is his son and would hate to see his son sitting at a dinner in the middle of now where. In the story it says, “This only increased his outrage at the counterman.” He felt that everyone should have compassion for the boy and help him out. This kind of a person is sometimes hard to find in a time of need in society.
Annaly Aviles Jeremy Voigt AP English, July 26, 2012 What life is now? In the novel “Amusing ourselves to Death” by Neil Postman, he indicates that the television has greatly impacted our culture. The main big argument that Postman has, is how television has overcome the printed word. This has become a big problem because it has greatly affected economics, politics, religion, and education. Children are so used television entertaining them that they expect the teachers to entertain them the same way, so they are unable to learn as they would without television.
Even though the sandkings enslaved Kress after they found him near the house, I think Kress didn't earn enough punishment. He has the evil spirit inside his body which obliterated his humanity when he let the shamble happened in his final party. I think Kress' inability led him had a cruel characteristic like sandkings had when he followed his pets order. His inhuman actions costed his pets revenged him and killed his friends in the party. Therefore, it is reasonable for Kress to be order a death penalty to pay off the crimes he made to
Until one day when Wright’s boss, Mr. Olin, tries to trick him and another black boy into killing each other for pure entertainment. Mr. Olin tells Wright “a little while ago I went down to get a Coca-Cola and Harrison was waiting for you at the door of the building with a knife. He asked me when you were coming down. Said he was going to get you.” This does not work because Wright figures out what is going on, but eventually they pay Wright and Harrison to beat each other senseless boxing. Most
Johnny Hernandez Mrs. James 2 February 2015 Juveniles as Adults I believe that juveniles should be tried as adults because they are old enough to know what they are doing, the juvenile system fails, and teen’s parents/childhood. The reason I think this is because I read a story about a kid named Greg Ousley who murdered his parents because he felt like he wasn’t loved enough, he felt like all he did was embarrassed his parents. One day after school he was depressed, his dad didn’t seem to care as much nor did his mother. So he said, “He has to kill them”, so later that night he shots his parents with a 12-guage shotgun in the head. Then tries to play it off as if someone came to his house, murdered his parents.
The presence of guilt has clearly and undeniably manifested itself into the nature of family relationships within both plays. In A Doll's House, Nora's guilt in regards to the crime she committed has accumulated so much so that she is almost 'afraid' of displeasing Torvald over even the smallest of issues. Ibsen has made this evident with the continual reinforcement of the theme of secrecy, which indicates the extent of things Nora keeps hidden from her husband in order to be free of his criticisms. One notable example is the motif of macaroons, in which Nora eats them on various instances but 'stuffs' them away as soon as Torvald arrives. Ibsen further hints towards secrecy within the household when Nora plays hide and seek with her children just before Krogstad, the truthbearer of the play, pays a visit.
