Huck is widely influenced by Miss Watson and widow Douglas by acting in a more civilized manner. He is also influenced by his father who has an affect on him to act like a hoodlum once again. Jim, the slave, has the most important effect on Huckleberry Finn by indirectly teaching him about loyalty regardless if its breaking a law. The king and the Duke also have an impact on him by showing him the lack of morals. Towards the end of the story Huckleberry's friend Tom Sawyer begins to have an impact on the way he acts in his society at the time.
He shows his concern through his statement: “Listen, you been givin’ me the willies the way you walk down the street, I mean it.” There is an interesting use of word choice here, Eddie has to mention “I mean it” to reinforce how strongly he feels. He also says “givin’ me”, and “me” in particular shows that Eddie has an opinion about Catherine and it creates his speech to become more personal, as it only applies to him and no one else. At this moment we can infer that Eddie resumes the role of a protective father wanting to shield his daughter from the prying eyes of strangers, or his concern could be something much more. Furthermore, Eddie has a negative aspect as he tries to control her life and doesn’t want her to grow up or move on. This puts stress on his relationships with both Catherine and Beatrice.
Write some of the ways Fitzgerald tells the story in Chapter One Chapter one begins with Nick, our narrator, talking about his upbringing. He talks of his strong relationship with his father and how he taught him to reserve judgement about other people, because if he holds them up to his own moral standards, he will misunderstand them. On the first page of the chapter it is clear that the story has already happened, his first paragraph includes words like “When I came back...” and “last autumn...” suggesting events from the past. Also in these first few words we gain an understanding into the ideas he has and a judgement into the past. When he came back he says “...I wanted the world to be in uniform and at a sort of moral attention for ever” This suggests that he experienced immoral behaviour and wants change.
Write about the parenting styles of Atticus Finch and Robert Ewell in “To Kill A Mockingbird” In the town of Maycomb, children are expected to live up to there parents expectations, if not, better. Either children’s parents raise them to be just like them as Atticus Finch does, or the pressure of community expectations that a person lives up, or down, to their family, referring to Robert Ewell. Atticus’s parenting style is quite unique in that he treats his children as adults, honestly answering any question they have. He uses all these instances as an opportunity to pass his values on to Scout and Jem, because he is delighted in helping people see a situation in a new light. Atticus uses this approach not only with his children, but with all of Maycomb, and yet, for all of his mature treatment of Jem and Scout, he patiently recognizes that they are children and that they will make childish mistakes and assumptions.
Especially the most vulnerable of humans; teenagers. Continuing the study of Peter Skrzynecki’s poems ‘The Immigrant Chronicles’ and the feature article ‘Marked as an enemy of the state’ would definitely provide helpful understanding of the concept of belonging. So, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Board of Studies, I present to you, my firm but humble reasons as to why belonging must be retained in the syllabus. Maintaining the belonging concept in the syllabus primarily enables a widened understanding of familial relationships in regards to daily importance. Skrzynecki’s words, “gentle father kept pace only with the Joneses of his own mind’s making” as quoted from his poem ‘Feliks Skrzynecki’ exhibits, through the descriptive word ‘gentle’ and the metaphorical use of ‘only with the Joneses of his own mind’s making’, the obvious admirations of son to father as well as the childhood lesson of staying true to oneself.
* Dunny feels responsible for the premature birth of Paul. * He feels like he needs to repay Mrs. Dempster by helping out around her house and caring for he (to help make up for his ‘mistake’) * The guilt of Dunny ultimately leads to his love towards Mrs. Dempster * Percy doenst even have any guilt even though he’s the one who through the snowball * Percy is from a more of a high-social class and his parents may be lenient and not as strict. Percy might have not ever felt punishment * Dunny is very passionate as he places himself in other peoples shoes, and sees how Mrs. Dempster and Paul are both suffering. Percy does neither of this which can be seen as highlighting Dunnys emotional attitude * The story is based off of a early 20 century Ontario * Snowball event ultimately alters the pace of his life * PAGE 4 – Walking down the street….gave a cry and slipped to the ground…then Mrs. Dempster came conscious of me“ ::: Does Dunny have a reason to feel guilty? * Town is conservative (no pregnant people allowed to be seen in town) * Parents don’t consistently display affection (don’t display “scenes”) (PAGE 30 – FRUED QUOTE –very
Of course Polonius does this in many more words than necessary and purposefully using multiple extended metaphors in getting his point across. This may not seem odd at first until one looks at the advice that Polonius gives to Ophelia, his daughter. Polonius imparts his wisdom onto Ophelia following his speech to Laertes and right from the get go one can tell that he does not view Ophelia in the same light as Laertes, his male heir. Polonius opens the lecture portion of his conversation with Ophelia with”Affection
Another idea is that Goole is an angel sent from God to deliver the truth about the Birlings’ lives. It could be said that he has been sent to this family to make them realize their wrong doings and to make them change their lives before it is too late. This idea is supported by the fact that Mr Birling is in the middle of his capitalist speech when Inspector first arrives, and that this timing is ideal for the maximum impact upon the family – that by giving the news of Eva Smiths’ death at this time would make them think about their situation. It is argued that if he was simply a stranger he would not have been able to arrive at that exact time, so therefore he must have been sent from God, or be a Supernatural spirit. This timing is also very symbolic of the lesson Goole is trying to teach to the Birlings’, and the lesson which Priestley is trying to teach the audience.
For example, when writing about obedience he writes, “Obey your parents, when they are present,” because they “think they know better than you,” implying the parents don’t know better. His discussion on lying is very interesting. He states we should not lie until we’ve grown and learned enough to be “perfect” liars, with “confidence, elegance, and precision.” He also tells the youth start “early” and learn “this gracious and beautiful art.” Twain seems to want to point out the errors of adult cynicism to help bring a new view toward making society more honest and rational. While opening the eyes to both the young and the elderly, Twain magically sends these two audiences different messages with the same words. The unexperienced youth are the ones who get the obvious message.
We have always wanted our children to feel free to talk to us about what ails them. As I read the article, I realized that we (my husband and I) base many of our childhood experiences on the way we think it should be with our son. Today’s teenagers want to grow up way too fast which saddens us. My husband and I definitely want him to be successful and realize that peer pressure can be our enemy if we do not properly deal with it. Self-confidence has been something instilled in our son and daughter from the time they could recognize it.
