On their first meeting, “Kamala smiled and played with her fan… and thereupon Kamala laughed aloud” (Hesse 44). Her smiles and laughter represent her knowledge of love and sex that she passes on to Siddhartha. In this case, they do not represent enlightenment, but destiny because she was meant to be his lover and teacher and guide through Samsara. Yet, as Siddhartha falls deeper into Samsara, he becomes unhappy and finally leaves. He only finds himself happy again after he attempts suicide.
She accepts that there is life in death and recovers. This is shown to the other characters through the play-within-a-play technique used by Gow of “Stranger on the Shore.” So the challenges that Coral faces such as her son’s death and the process of the journey of healing has allowed her to learn much more about herself and the world around her. Furthermore, Gow uses Shakespearian allusions to “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” Tom is compared with the Shakespearean character of Puck. One particular quote from “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” is “I’ll be an auditor, an actor too perhaps if I see chance”. This is exactly what Tom does, he is the audience, he stands back and watches the people around him and how they are dealing with his death, but also when he gets the chance he will act to help the peole around him.
Also, she does not feel guilty that she allowed Newt to kiss him and felt no guilt even though she is about to get married.Despite Catherine dismissing Newt's perceptions of her, she still ends up in his arms at the end of the story. In the story, she says (2) " I'm extremely fond of you as a friend, but it's just too late." And when she admits that women aren't very clever at hiding love and Newt starts to see love. She emphasizes that she does indeed love him but it's just too late to come to the consensus. Us readers immediately pick up the love Newt has for Catherine.
Priestley first describes Sheila as naïve and she seems very 'playful' and he says she is being possessed as she talks to Gerald. Although she is 'half serious, half playful' Priestley makes her seem more clever as she has suspicions about Gerald when she mentions 'last summer, when you never came near me'. This only becomes noticable to us when Gerald reveals that he had an affair with Eva Smith. Sheila makes an effort in act 1 to get her parents to approve of Gerald. When she receives the ring from Gerald, she is immediately 'excited', and Priestley shows this in her speech with the use of dashes as she asks 'Mummy - isn't it a beauty?'.
The film’s corresponding characters are C.D., Roxanne, Chris, and Dixie. In both versions they keep Cyrano’s giant nose, his beautiful poetry, and his caring nature for Roxane. Christian is very attractive, awkward with his words, and does not know how to express his feeling towards Roxane. Both versions feature Roxanne, a very beautiful and independent woman, but also quite a shallow woman who doesn’t know that what she has been looking for has been right in front of her the whole time. Not only are all these characters and their attributes the same in both the play and the film, but many of the scenes are quite similar too.
Not So SuperBad Sweetly absurd, Crude and awkward, Superbad is almost a typical teen movie, reminding me a bit of the American Pie films because of the simple plot and juvenile humour. However, compared to other teen movies the film is much more intelligently written than others of its genre, and this shines through in the characters. Superbad follows three high school seniors as they go on a long night of self-discovery, ending in drunken declarations of love between best friends with unrealistic yet entertaining events happening in between. The over weight Seth, played by Jonah Hill (Knocked Up) is foul-mouthed and impulsive, Evan, his best friend, played by Michael Cera is a more gentle and shy, almost to the point of being invisible,
Through this movie you get to experience a variety of stories that are tied together with a centralized theme. I enjoyed the fact that the romance of the 50’s is still very true to romance of today although we have fallen far from the class and well-spoken poise that is Grace Kelly. The story then is still the same story now; the girl always wants the boy who doesn’t want her. In this case, the well-established socialite model wants the dirty photographer. It is the classic tale of “you want what you can’t have”.
There are three things alike about the two rebellious main characters. First of all, they are both 19 year olds. Second thing is they are both trying to impress someone or some people. Lastly, they both end up doing something stupid for the wrong reasons. In A&P, it's obvious Sammy tries to impress the prettiest girl that walked in with her bathing suits along with her friends, whom he named "Queenie".
You could say he embodied all that Roo did in his prime, before he injures his back. For the women of Lawler’s work, each bring a sense of individual femininity to the play while possessing qualities of conservatism and public opinion. In the 1950s it was unlikely that a woman would refuse to marry, yet Lawler ignored the traditional boundaries in the character Olive. Olive is a strong woman yet immature in her hopes and beliefs. Her ignorance and dependency on those 6 months of the year when she is taken care of by a man, is deluded and unlikely of a woman in that era.
These readings and poems are literally inspirational. It does not matter if you’re a lesbian or a queer, if there is love, then there is love. Like there are a few passages and poems I loved. In “La Ofrenda by Cheeríe Moraga” chronicling her love for her childhood friend Tiny, Moraga casually exposes the failure of the heterosexist machos of the Chicano movement to keep their women satisfied, and in doing so undermines the male ego: “Tiny used to say her contribution to La Causa was to keep the girlfriends of the Machos happy while they were out being too revolutionary to screw”. Not only does
