Her opinions are accurately expressed as she teaches the audience of the effects that censorship is leaving on educational institutions specifically. The reader can feel her passion when it comes to the issues being presented which is expressed in each paragraph. Although this essay’s first purpose was to express her feelings towards her book, Lathe of Heaven, being banned, it genuinely transformed into the main idea of censorship being placed on many different types of books by ignorant school boards and how this is a
Being punished during recess, requiring to take 2 speech classes to get rid of the accent ,and “ Who to say that robbing people of its language is less violent than war “ is the quote that she put at the end of the first paragraph , are examples that clearly show how she felt back then. In “ The Veil “ the author asked for freedom to dream and to do everything in life . Although she believed that she was born with religion , the unnecessary religious rules, and stereostyle prevent her living with a light heart . She wanted to change people’s thoughts and bring justice to everyone. In an imaginary vision in the last cartoon, she holds a scale of justice, makes a sign of love, and holds a sword and shield and declares that she wants “to be justice, love, and the wrath of God all in one.” The difference from the two essays are areas of focusing.
Christina describes her mother’s primary concerns centralized around how she wished to be perceived by others and the public image she wished to project 74-75). Her false displays of intimacy, excessive vanity, egocentricity, lack of empathy, and attention seeking behavior are evident in her interpersonal relationships and emotional neglect of her children. Her career as a film star exacerbated these negative personality traits (27, 83). Any affection she showed toward Christina usually took the form of a shallow nod of approval or pat on the head for performing tasks such as mixing alcoholic beverages for Joan and her guests or when in the presence of others, but in private her treatment of Christina was very cold and her parenting style was excessively rigid, strict, and authoritarian. She relied primarily on punishment (particularly corporal) and negative reinforcement to gain compliance and desired behavior.
She lives in her mind, barley speaks to anyone. She spends most of her time analyzing all the things around her life. She wants to tell someone how she feels but is scared that she might get rejected or no one will believe her. “I can’t believe you, you’re just jealous.”(184) when she finally tells one of her former friends from the party who is now dating Andy Beast, what happened and the reason for her calling the cops she lashes out and does exactly what she was afraid of. In reading and studying “Speak” By author Laurie Halse Anderson , my character analysis has taught me how Melinda dealt with her problem and what she went through to get her life back…it also taught me to choose my friends carefully and that keeping your anger and pain bottled up can hurt you more than you know.
She understands that people come from different environments and everyone can learn; they just need to be motivated. Mary once blamed the poor academic skills the students have today on things like drugs and divorce for poor motivation and concentration. She describes starting the day with concentration principles buy the way she walks into her class. If her style of teaching doesn’t work then she will fail the student. Mary’s son a High School senior was in the jeopardy of flunking English.
Skeeter’s mom could be considered a bit sympathetic character from the story. A major scene that can explain this would be when Constantine’s daughter showed up at her house while the Daughters of the American Republic were there. They disliked the fact that Constantine’s daughter disobeyed her, so they pressured Charlotte to do something about it. You can easily see Charlotte’s hesitation her face; and even though she didn’t want to, she had to fire Constantine in order to look good in front the Daughters of the American Republic. 4.
When she is called to the stand she is “fragile-looking” and “looked as if she tried to look clean”. This agrees with the readers theory that Mayella is wanting be good, yet she is tainted by her father who “had a scalded look” due to “an overnight soaking”. Again we see that she is different from her despised family as she wants to be clean and noble. As the reader begins to feel that Mayella doesn’t want to punish Tom Robinson we see her “burst into tears” as begins to be questions. This would make some readers feel pity for Mayella as she is lamenting due to horrific flashbacks she may encounter, others may think that this is a cover up as she knows what she is doing is wrong, and she is trying to get the judge and the jury to side with her.
In paragraph four, Esperanza used a synecdoche to show that even though she inherited her great grandmother name, she did not want to follow the same path as her. Esperanza stated, “I have inherited her name, but I don’t want to inherit her place by the window “ (110). Her great grandmother was trapped in a compulsory marriage and longed for an escape. Esperanza was also teased at school she said, “At school they say my name funny as if the syllables were made out of tin and hurt the roof of your mouth” (110). Meaning the kids at school had a difficult time pronouncing her
My mother would tell me things in a blunt manor, instead of me appreciating the truth I insisted on over analyzing it creating a problem into something that wasn't. Realizing later on that was her way of showing me to understand constructive criticism and face the world. Deborah Tannen's "Oh, Mom Oh Honey", she analyzes different personal relationships between mothers and daughters. No two are alike, each paired duo study had a different portrayal of how things where and how they should be. "I'm Not Mad, I Just Hate You!"
“First we have roll call,” Johnny said. (3) The repetition of the phrase ‘roll call’ used in this dialog is given such significance because it is used by the new teacher as a method of control the students. She manipulates the students here by controlling them. Even Johnny finally concedes to the manipulation by attacking his own father. “I ALWAYS WONDERED WHY HE DIDN’T LISTEN, AND ALL THE TIME HE WASN’T THERE” (7).
