“Fun Home” had great success and great critics. This biography is about Alison’s childhood growing up with homosexual father. In this autobiography, Alison Betchdel is not focusing on herself only, but also on complicated relationship with her father. The subtitle “Tragicomic” signals an interesting opposites theme that are prevalent throughout the book.

It just made the play seem unrealistic, so that along with the gay scene and the gay prostitution made it the worst play I’ve ever seen. There was a lot of nonverbal communication also in this place, the fact that Simay never truly finds out that adnan truly loves her and the way he treats her when she is paying attention and when she isn’t you felt a connection with him. He seemed to care a lot for her but didn’t show it because of childhood issues he faced. He hardly said much when it came to her for his symbolism for buying her food showed the audience that he cared. There were scenes when she told him how she felt and how much she cared about him, he had to turn
In Sullivan’s Travels, the montage of the casualties of the Depression that Sullivan witnesses underscores everything that the movie had previously eluded too. Like Sullivan, the audience does not appreciate how horribly that time affected people and those few seconds articulated the sentiment like no words could. The movie itself, made during the Depression, does what Sullivan realizes he needs to do—make a movie that gets people to laugh through the hard times. As Sullivan says, “There's a lot to be said for making people laugh… It isn't much, but it's better than nothing.” While in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, there is not one line that sums up the entire movie’s premise, there is a lot more than one montage to show us. The audience sees Mr. Smith fighting for something he believes in, despite everything that suddenly hits him.

Professor Faber A retired English professor whom Montag encountered a year before the book opens. Faber still possesses a few precious books and aches to have more.

At first Charlie doesn’t know how to react, his perspicacity with sexual abuse caused his mind to block out any emotions. Charlie is also the type of character that tends to care more about people around him than his own self. This effect of PTSD slowly causes the destruction of Charlie that we see in the end of the book.
Martin was a man who enjoyed moving around and not staying in one place, he did not believe in the traditional beliefs of patriarchy and hierocracy, he enjoyed activities such as sword fighting, acrobatics, he was also said to have a spell cast on him that he that made him impotent. After many years of cruel torture from the other children making fun of him, Martin finally gave up and left. If Martin Guerre fell into a well after his return and magically came out in the American colonies in the 1740s as Gordon Wood described in his book, he would not have fit in. The 1740s was the start of a monarchal society, which was the complete opposite of what Guerre believed. Martin would have sided with the democratic group because he believed
Throughout the story he's always just about to call someone but always makes up an excuse not to. We can assume its not because it's "that late" because he doesn't give strong enough evidence that his younger sister would be asleep. He doesn't even give anyone a heads up to where he's going. The other amounts of deductions I could make on this are infinite but that would take much longer to explain. Another one of this traits happens to be that's he's an exceptionally good liar.
I imagined it. A lot of these newly rich people are just big bootleggers, you know.” This shows that even the Old money residents such as Tom and Daisy, had already categorized Gatsby, unimpressed with his little set-up of a party. And that’s when they both left, leaving Gatsby to think that Daisy didn’t like it. And again, it shows that Gatsby still tries to be accepted by those of higher status, even by Tom which failed to be approved of. On the last few pages of the book, it is said that “Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us.
