There is a certain aura of innocence that exists in these two teenagers, and they eventually develop an open mind about the world. Lee is a fourteen year old girl and Gene is a seventeen year old boy.
Comic books captivate readers and get the message across a lot easier than regular books do. I would rather read a graphic novel any day, which, in my opinion, made my experience reading this much more enjoyable. I completely understand why some people wouldn’t like this, and I’m sure there are a few in my class. Following a comic book with all the different pictures, dialogue and thought bubbles, and narration can be difficult and confusing, but certain stories benefit immensely from it, such as this one. Without pictures being incorporated, the only way a reader would get the humor from certain homeowners in the essay smoking while complaining about germs and smells in there houses would be to explain it in a boring, detailed paragraph.

While some of the play’s action occurs outside of the apartment, The home is a galvanizing force for the family. The play A Raisin in the Sun is essentially about dreams being carried out into reality during the mid 1900’s. The main characters in the play struggle to deal with the oppressive circumstances that rule all of their lives. The title of the play, references a conjecture that Langston Hughes famously posed in the poem “A Dream Deferred.” He wrote about dreams that were forgotten or put off, and what can happen to them if they are not ambitiously followed. He wonders whether those dreams shrivel up “like a raisin in the sun.” in the play, every member of the Younger family has a separate self asserted individual dream, Beneatha wants to become a doctor, for example, and Walter wants to have money so that he can afford things for his family by opening up a liquor store.
Rhetorical Analysis # 2 The reversal of chapters two and three gives the reader an insight of this mysterious character before actually “meeting” him in chapter three. In the first chapter upon mentioning his name, Daisy becomes flustered and childlike. In chapter two upon discussing Gatsby, Myrtle says that she is scared of him, and he is possibly “a nephew or a cousin of Kaiser Wilheims.” The reader is not sure about the man “who gives this name to the book.” Fitzgerald provides a furtive aura around Gatsby that allows the reader to continue the novel with a sense of curiosity as well as anticipation. When Gatsby is introduced in the third chapter the suspense is broken and his character is finally unfolded.
While leading the reader on to believe that Edie is going to end up with Chris Watters in the end or at some point in her life, and given the ominous title of the story itself, Munro instead saves Edie’s encounter with her future husband until the very end of the story. In this way Munro was able to use both dramatic and situational irony effectively. For the better part of the relationship with each other there is a sense of attraction between the main character of Edie and that of the pilot Chris Watters, with their sneaky encounters and the seductive behavior that he exhibits around her there is nothing left to assume but that they will end up with one another by the end of the story. The mailman isn’t even known to exist until the final page, his exclusion from the story until the very end allows the reader to get bogged down thinking Edie and Chris will end up together, since they were the only developed relationship throughout it’s telling. Irony is worked into the conclusion in two ways, both situational irony and dramatic irony.
In The Catcher and the Rye, J.D. Salinger depicts the story of a young adolescent whose inability to relate to others coupled with his resistance to the challenges of growing up both contribute to his increasing detachment to the real world. Salinger’s use of symbols in the novel such as the historical museum and the “Catcher in the Rye” lyric allows the reader to better understand the explanation for Holden’s desire for everything to remain the same and not lose its innocence. Throughout the middle of the novel and onwards, Holden explains of his dreams about a world in which he can stand on a cliff and prevent the many children that are playing on it from falling off. In Holden’s mind, the edge of the cliff metaphorically represents the perils of adulthood and the falling out of innocence.
This song relates to Hamlet in the following trends these different people; Ophelia, The ghost and Laertes: It starts off with a swift mournful sounding tune, which would emulate the ghost when Barnardo tells the story to Horatio and Marcellus. He begins his memoir by saying that the previous night, the star to the west of the North Star had traveled across the night sky to the point where it was shining currently, at one o'clock, then Barnardo gets cut off by Marcellus telling him to be quiet that he had seen it again. After this occurrence when they had seen the apparition, Barnardo says he looked just like the king, and looks to Horatio who is terrified by the similarity. Barnardo then tells them that the ghost wants them to speak to it and Marcellus tells him to talk to it. The correspondence from this scene and the story is where the beat of the music sounds sad, melancholy, unnerving, and mysterious.
