Although Scout and Katniss share their differences, the similarities between both characters outweigh all differences. Katniss, the narrator of the novel, is a strong, resourceful sixteen year old who is far more mature than her age would suggest. Through many examples, one could recognize that both characters share their similarities along with their differences. Scout from the book “To Kill a Mocking Bird” is a very unusual girl, both in her qualities and in her social position. She is very intelligent for a girl her age, for example, she learned to read before the beginning of school.
The insertion of Gemma’s version of Briar Rose throughout “home” emphasise that this story was of great significance to her life. The dialogue in which Gemma tells the story is constantly interrupted as the girls attempt to help her tell the tale. “Which is all times”. This reveals their familiarity with the story, and their love if it. It has bonded them, as Becca proves when she kisses Gemma as the Prince kissed the princess in the tale.
Lilly was worried about this because Snow Flower was from a higher class than her. The concept of a lao tong is two women who give each other themselves in friendship. Snow Flower and Lilly write back and forth on a silk fan in Nushu, a secret language that only women knew about. As the story progresses Lily marries a scholar's nephew who belonged to one of the richest families in China while Snow Flower marries a butcher, which was seen as low class. They stay in touch throughout the years by the fans and meetings but their relationship falters when Lily misunderstands a message from Snow Flower.
Giovanny Sanchez May 5, 2012 Ms. Collins Barbie’s World In everyone’s childhood there is always that one special non-living figure in their personal lives, a figure we admired, something we looked up to be, like an idol. In “You Can Never Have Too Many,” Jane Smiley thanks Barbie for the effect she had on her daughter’s lives as they were growing up to be young adults; by teaching them the feminine side of woman at an early stage, which ultimately allowed their minds to have a lot more options when it really came down to figuring out who they wanted to be at an adult stage. Smiley however, does not effectively support this argument because she gives a lot of credit to Barbie for the way her daughters turn out to be but she’s forgetting
(p. 80) Young women really loved the bobbed hairstyle. One fashion magazine predicted that the bobbed hairstyle would not last very long, but it did and they were forced to show more bobbed hairstyles in their magazine. The cosmetic industry made lots of money as well because of all of the products they were pushing to women. By 1929, some 2,500 different perfume brands were created along with 1,500 face creams. (p. 80).
A comparison can be drawn between Inanna and a spoiled preppy girl; this girl will use her feminine charm and charisma to have young boys carry her books, do her homework, drive her home, buy her expensive gifts, among other things. The same way, Inanna uses her feminine charm and cry for help to have Gilgamesh cast away the inhabitants of the tree and to even carve her a throne and a bed (page 9). Inanna could have ask Gilgamesh to show her how to properly carve the wood into a throne or a bed, but Inanna’s spoiled and scheming nature understands that by begging and crying to a male God, she might avoid doing the job herself. If she were to cry and beg to a female God, she might have gotten instructions or a tutorial on how to use her own power to do the task herself; something
Golden Locks: Past v Present Most people in all probability enjoy reading a worthy fairytale. Read fairytales before bed is a huge part of today’s culture. In the tale of Rapunzel, a young girl is taken from her parents and is locked in to a tower. Although the plot and setting appear largely comparable, Grimm’s Rapunzel and Disney’s Tangled have more distinctions than similarities. The differences between the two are disease, and modern era’s attraction to good-hearted delinquents.
In the fifth paragraph, she jumps out of the story of the spider behind the toilet and begins her story about how she would go up to the Blue Ridge Mountains just to read and about the moth that flew into the candle flame and burned alive. This story proceeds to the conclusion of her essay. Woolf’s essay on the other hand is substantially easier to follow due to the fact that she stays in present tense throughout her entire essay. Opposed to Dillard’s, her word choice is rather advanced, however, due to the simplicity of her paragraph structure; it is much easier to follow. Other than Woolf’s difficult diction, the other factor that makes her writing hard to follow by the
Although Jesse is sad he and Winnie will not be together now, they are all proud of her for making the choice to not live forever. I liked this book a lot, because it is somewhat romantic for Jesse to fall in love with Winnie, even though he is seventeen and she is ten. I like to read romantic, adventurous, and real books, so my sister told me to give this book a try. I could not put the book down and finished it in a day and a half. I would recommend this book to anyone who reads really, because it is a fantastic
