A reason why the people believe in jimmy so much because he was so determined. Most people would just give up at first because it is to much effort but jimmy did not do so. Also the people can relate to jimmy because he was poor like all the people who idolized him. 8) The world Cinderella in today’s world is used for something that is unlikely to happen. When talking about a Cinderella story its is usually about an underdog of some sort who nobody thinks could do it, comes out victorious.
Hamlet would have been an exceptional king because of his character and his willingness to sacrifice for his country. His actions throughout the book can be described as brash and extreme but his decisions are not uninformed. The challenges he faces are unimaginable and difficult but he perseveres and acts in a way that he believes will serve his country best. These are the actions of a mature and able leader who is fit to run a country. Hamlet is aware of plots against him and he believes this will be bad for Denmark.
Percy does many of the things himself. He doesn’t care if people know it was him who won the battle. One thing Percy Jackson said on page 266 was, “It was Annabeth’s idea.” This shows that he is willing to give credit to someone else if they deserve it. Odysseus likes to brag and even though Percy Jackson likes people to know when he does something outstanding, he doesn’t brag about it. Because they do have some differences in their personalities, their journeys turn out different from each other.
I'd say he is hero, the examples you have of why he isn't are perfectly valid, and definitely include them in the essay, but I don't think they dismiss his heroism. He broke at the end and loved Big Brother but this was due to O'Brien's torture and mind control, he always knew this would be the outcome from his diary entries, conversations with Julia and his observations of Jones, Aaronsen and Rutherford at the Chestnut Tree Cafe. Breaking his only promise to Julia, not to betray her, was unavoidable, see his rantings after his visit to room 101, and the brief encounter with Julia when he is released, she betrayed him too, everyone betrays, this is the purpose of room 101, to remove anything you love more than the party and replace it/them with Big Brother. He sneaks around instead of engaging in open revolt because this is the only way any dissent and subversion can take place, the reactions of people during the ten minutes hate, telescreens, hidden microphones, a militarised society and scared/brainwashed spying neighbours giving you up at the first opportunity to save themselves make open revolt instantly futile rather than eventually futile, he took this approach not out of cowardice because it had the potential to subvert the cause of the party more effectively and because it was the only way. His rebellion does further his own desires, but his primary goal is to undermine the goverment, at first he is revolted by Julia, his initial act of sleeping with her was done not out of sexual desire, but out of a desire to rebel against and weaken the government, in his and Julia's opinion doing something for yourself and only yourself WAS the act of rebellion, it was central in their purpose to revolt as it went against the only reason for the party's existance, control and power (see Winston and Julia's conversations in the flat, and O'Brien's explanation of
Frank McCourt’s Use of Irony to Portray Hypocrisy in Angela’s Ashes Frank McCourt’s Angela’s Ashes is a heart-wrenching tale about the immense struggles he and his family endure throughout his childhood. He opens the story with the following lines: When I look back on my childhood I wonder how I survived at all. It was, of course, a miserable childhood: the happy childhood is hardly worth your while. Worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the miserable Irish childhood, and worse yet is the miserable Irish Catholic childhood. People everywhere brag and whimper about the woes of their early years, but nothing can compare with the Irish version: the poverty; the shiftless loquacious father; the pious defeated mother moaning by the fire; pompous priests; bullying schoolmasters; the English and the terrible things they did to us for eight hundred long years (McCourt 11; ch.1).
Angela’s Ashes shows the reader how an addiction can wreak havoc on a family, especially when that family has little to begin with. Frank tells this story of hardships due to his father’s alcoholism and how his family was able to survive in the twentieth century in both The United States of America and in Ireland. Malachy’s drinking problem really hindered the McCourt’s potential to succeed and should never have been there at all. Addiction is one of the worst things that can happen to a
Gatsby's social standing allowed him to be generous, because everyone expected it of him after attending or hearing about one of his lavish parties. Nick was below the high social standings of Tom, Daisy, and Jordan, and also below the lower social standing of Gatsby, but members of both classes liked and trusted him. As Nick said in chapter one of The Great Gatsby, Tom wanted Nick to like him as well. Somehow, Nick could transcend the barriers of certain classes, which made it easy for anyone to trust him, whether it is Tom with talking about his mistress, or Gatsby revealing his true identity. Wealth played a major part in The Great Gatsby.
Newman was a man who refused to accept failure, and demanded the appearance of great confidence in his family. Thus, it was this chance meeting with his uncle that inspired Miller to create Loman and the Loman household characters as they are. Wealth, hard work, job security and family union are some of the concepts that involves the well-known term, the American Dream. Few people think this dream is something that is automatically granted. Many others however, as in the story Death of a Salesman, view it as something that has to be achieved in order to be successful.
Othello uses persuasive language to make the others understand that he is telling the truth about their mutual love. He uses lots of adjectives in front of words that don’t need them to contribute towards his persuasion such as “very noble”, “good masters” “gracious patience” or “dearest action”. He does this firstly to show respect towards the senator and duke and secondly for him not to be judged as a bad person and gain their trust. One of his first arguments was that all his life he has been warrior, not a witch; that all his knowledge is about war. He makes this point by saying “And little of this world can I speak more than pertains to feats of broil and battle” This makes the senator and the duke double think Barbantio’s accusations.
We also learn a bit about Mr Ewell. Lee states earlier on, ?The varmints had a lean of it, for the Ewell?s gave the dump through gleaning every day? This suggests that the Ewells live of the town?s dump which isn?t a very hygienic way of living, but then again Mr Ewell is an unemployed alcoholic. As we are told earlier, ?No public health officer could free them from congenital defeats, various worms and diseases indigenous to filthy surroundings? Mr Ewell is a terrible father due to his abusiveness and neglect.
