On many occasions throughout the book, it is quite easy to say that Kevin is a racist, for example, when Kevin and the others were stopping at Wal-Mart, a Muslim woman was blocking a lane of traffic. Seeing this, Kevin began to make many racist remarks such as, “Stupid idiot…can’t drive because she can’t see past that thing twisted around her head. Must be on so tight it’s blocking the flow of blood to her brain”(91), and “You should be riding a camel instead of driving that piece of crap. Get it moving-unless you’re planning a suicide bombing!” (92) Him saying those things shows how he tends to stereotype any Muslim people as terrorists, when he really doesn’t understand very much about their culture. Another example of his anger towards “brown” people is when they lose to Julian (who is black) at the costume competition.
The words that are used are unique in a way that it creates this atmosphere that it feels like the story is unraveling right before you. Words combinations such as flaccid waistline, sallow urban complex, swift and passionate, are all helpful to visualize the story. The sentences that are put together help to form a visual in the mind that is incredible. “The land fled past, the rock-stabbed earth, the scrub flattened by wind shriveled by violent sun. Way off in the distance, as ominous as mounting clouds, a line of mountains stood darkly along the horizon”.
“ I knowed he was white inside (40). Huck states that though Jim is African American, he has intellectual thoughts and a lack of education does not change the way Jim thinks and cares. “Jim was most ruined, for a servant because he got stuck up on account of having seen the devil and been rode by witches.” (9).Most people judged Jim, not only because of the color of his skin, but the fact that he spoke differently then white folk. In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Jim continues to make intelligent thoughts and problems to the pairs sticky situations and proves to the reader that the southern stereotypes in the 1800’s were racist and
For the most part, the characters in this game really aren't anything special. And i only say that because of how underdeveloped they are. The mast majority of characters in this game only get a few seconds of screen time before their gone forever. Really, i'm very confused as to why half these characters even exit, other than just to add random jokes here and there. Another thing that really bugs me about these characters is that they absolutely abuse stereotypes; there's the big bumbling bouncer, the smooth-talking, chain-smoking mafia boss to the bitter, old, cranky man.
The sentence structure, the affluent use of diction, the imagery and the personification of the passage allows a vivid connection between the wind and Ellen’s cry. The imagery allows a parallel with the character’s emotion as well, and contributes to the dark atmosphere at the manger. All these add to the mood and aid the reader to connect with Paul’s desperation and emotional
However, he doesn’t spare black people and forces them to see that their submission to the status quo only perpetuates racism. Violence doesn’t achieve anything either. Bigger is not a hero imbued with every good virtue. Sadly, Wright notes, “In all of [Bigger’s] life these two murders were the most meaningful things that had ever happened to him,” (239). He is a man who reacts with violence and confirms racist whites’ fears about black men.
All the themes of his novel turn out to be negative, especially his major theme of the unattainable “American dream”. Fitzgerald has created no honest characters other than Nick; even the protagonist is corrupted in the pursuit of his dream. Finally, the plot line of The Great Gatsby is centered around wealth, careless upper class people, and the idea that social status can never be changed no matter how hard one may try. "The rich get richer and the poor get - children."
Through any and every writing, an author has a point hidden within literary elements. With literary elements authors develop a style to their writing to prove the point they intended from the beginning. There are many various literary elements to make up a rhetorical situation, to develop a side of ideas, some very commonly used in especially rhetorical situations. Like allusion, hyperbole, rhetorical questions, hypophora, and commonly simile. Mohandas K. Gandhi and Henry David Thoreau speak of and develop similar government opinions and points, through their interpretations of Civil Disobedience through literary elements; they prove similar points of civil disobedience but with their own style of writing and use of rhetorical devices.
The bleakness and meaninglessness of the passages shared in Ecclesiastes point us to the emptiness in our north american culture. The idea that there is nothing new under the sun is one that has made its way into our mindset today. We accept the fact of vanity and again pursue it in all that is done. We are being raised for vanity. Our society is the image of vanity when our dogs are wearing jewels more expensive than some peoples houses.
Maycomb is a microcosm because throughout the story you are faced with prejudice white people. Tom Robinson is a innocent black man they convicted a of a crime he did not do, but it was okay because the they believed the white man over the black man. This was how it was in 1930’s in America. Maycomb symbolically represents the United States in the 1930’s because that is what everybody believed. This is how Harper Lee used the microcosm to develop her story.
