take an immediate liking to one another; Herbert is cheerful and open, and Pip feels that his easy good nature is a contrast to his own awkward diffidence. Whereas Pip’s fortune has been made for him, Herbert is an impoverished gentleman who hopes to become a shipping merchant. They realize, surprised, that they have met before: Herbert is the pale young gentleman whom Pip fought in the garden at Satis House. Herbert (the “pale young gentleman” of Chapter 11) makes a natural contrast to the lawyer; he is everything Jaggers is not. Kind, relaxed, and poor, he is the perfect gentleman to educate Pip in the ways of the upper class.
Dill Character Essay In the novel “To Kill a Mockingbird,” the author Harper lee introduces characters that are faced with racism, stereotypes, snap-judgments, and scarce money, while growing up in the 1930’s.

There were hypocrites, liars, funny little men, and creatures of all sizes. Well, Tartuffe brings that to life, minus all of the silly creatures. “Tartuffe reminds me of a grown up version of a Dr. Seuss book.” says Casey McCall, who plays Mariane, “It really is a great Show, and I think that people will enjoy it a lot.” The audience is in for quite the surprise when they see this show.
Just as the novel mentions, “he spoke as if Daisy’s reaction was the only thing that mattered.” (Fitzgerald, 2001: 192) Gatsby is nimble and ambitious in making money, which shows the “sagacity” of modern people, but towards love he gives us the impression of “a naive young man.” The reader may wonder what makes Gatsby great? Gatsby is great because of his loyalty to love. He has the desire to repeat the past, and the desire for money. For Gatsby, Daisy is the soul of his dreams. He believes he can regain Daisy.
He moves to a boarding house owned by Yetta Zimmerman, whose house is incredibly pink. He meets his fellow boarders and falls in love with one named Sophie, who is dating a man named Nathan. One thing I enjoyed about this section of the book was Stingo’s sense of humor and writing style. I found his talk about his lack of sex amusing and the description of Yetta’s house was oddly delightful. His feelings about his surroundings were always made apparent and I enjoyed reading about his times in the boarding house.
Also shown by the poor car mechanic husband of Myrtle being happily married and in love with his woman while the rich Tom comes around to woo his wife away secretly on her desire for a more financially stable and available man in her life. As far as the dialog of the film, all these aspects and facets of the story are interwoven into a mosaic of torment and tragedy while using many of the exact words from the book and implementing language and ideas or opinions out of the characters mouths that seem true to the established backdrop of time during the romantic and insatiable Roaring
At the beginning Pumblechook was cruel to pip but as soon as Pips status rose, he called him 'dear friend' and repeatedly asked 'may I?' to shake Pips hand. Not only does he try to befriend Pip because of his new found money but he also tells everyone that he was the benefactor because he wants the attention and popularity, he says 'I have been the humble instrument leading up to this', making him an imposter. After Pips downfall, Pumblechooks behaviour changes again towards him and accuses Pip of not having 'common human gratitoode'. So Dickens portrays Pumblechook as a man who changes his behaviour towards someone according to their status just for his own benefit.
However, for Algernon, Cecily’s suitor and Jack’s close friend, Jack Worthing is like any other young gentleman in London: self-satisfying and living solely for himself. The audience gets to see both these aspects of Jack, but does his duality actually matter to the play and to the audience? Who truly is Jack? Firstly, the duality aspects give a neat progression to Jack, and interest the audience by showing his development throughout the play. Due to numerous circumstances, the secure confidence that Jack has of knowing who he is (Jack Worthing, orphan) is shattered to a disequilibrium.
The excerpt form Henry James’ story, “The Pupil,” describes three characters who all share a deep relationship. The author uses elements of diction, tone, and point of view to convey the influence of each character. These elements coincide with each other to show that the young boy is innocent and unknowing, willing to take orders at no questions; the cunning and extravagant Mrs. Morgan Moreen who seem to be the recipient of wealth because she doesn’t mention her rise to riches; and Pemberton appears to be playing the role of a nerdy, unpopular kid who wants to ask the popular girl out on a date. All of these characters, through being describe by such elements, had a definite factor in their relationship between them, which is without a doubt a game of big man on campus. Firstly, in this excerpt, the author seems to categorize each character
Dickens demonstrations here that Tiny Tim is the most vulnerable of all the lower class yet he is one of the most giving and happy members of the lower class, which puts shame on Scrooge and his fellow upper class men. I was going to write about how Dickens uses the 3 ghosts to turn Scrooge around which shows the people of his time how anyone can change and has good in them and that it is not hard to change, just to accept the others around you. Not only did Charles Dickens pen a novella that will be seen for many decades to come, Dickens uses this novella to try and get his point across to the people of his time, and how in which both the upper and middle classes were to get along and how to get along with each other. Dickens does socially commentate on his time more than trying to pen this novella into a religious moral
