The story begins by helping us, the readers, to compare and contrast the two parallel lives, Luke and Lulach, with Lulach waking up to the “sound of bagpipes”, and Luke in the present time, “gazing of the limousine”.

There are multiple comparisons between Luke And Lulach such as their desire for a perfect world, they both don’t feel the same love for their stepfathers, and both of them find it hard to accept their father’s deaths as if it were a dream or a movie. Thus, by continuously switching between Luke and Lulach’s lives, Jackie French helps us to develop our understanding of both protagonists, and so after reading this novel our initial thoughts have suddenly changed our original perspective of Luke and Lulach. As such, Luke and Lulach, still share a desire for a perfect world, “A world without war” (11pg), they both are forced out of their comfort zone and have both taken on new responsibilities Luke with school work and Lulach with leading a country.
All three of the main characters in “Rebel Without a Cause” experience intense family issues and confusion. Judy seeks attention, acceptance and love from her father, who is clearly fighting an unnatural attraction to her due to her resemblance to her mother. Jim has a false depiction of his father. He thinks he is feminine and needs to stand up and be a real man. However, of all of the main characters, Plato is the most conflicted.
In contrast Intimacy by Hanif Kureshi looks at in detail the stream of consciousness of the character Jay. Jay is a sex obsessed character and longs for his wife’s’ affection, that his wife is not interested in. There is only one main event in Intimacy, which I will explore later in the structure. The author’s perceptions of narrative voice are essential to the way that we view the characters. The narrative voice defines whether the reader should have an emotional response to the narrative voice or not.
One example is Priapus’ eagerness to meet his daughter’s boyfriend. He says, “Yes. I’m looking forward to grilling him,” and, “I want to see how the boy reacts when he sees me.” Priapus constantly urges to see who her boyfriend is, though unknowingly, he has known the boy his whole life as it is his own son. In addition dramatic irony is also shown when Suzie says, “I have finally found my soul mate.” Suzie has fallen in love with Jonathan, but the readers know that they cannot be together, as they are related to each other. This realization helps the story by increasing the intensity and suspense and by causing the reader to be curious of the future events that may occur.
When his most loved daughter comments on her sister’s reactions about his wishes, he then begins to go insane after irrationally separating his land between two of his three daughters based on their charm bringing terrible consequences for everyone. I would say that’s Lear’s first mistake; separating power and responsibility. His two eldest daughters are prepared to be in control of their own lives (age wise) but not necessarily mature enough. A reason of immaturity from the daughters that Lear didn’t notice was how fond they were of him when he declared his wanting, therefore, they aren’t ready to rule a kingdom. They allowed their father to act as if he is still in charge.
By using aggressive verbs and strong beat, it shows the conflict between the two families, which is very important for people to know so that they can have better ideas of why Romeo and Juliet’s love is a forbidden love. Quotes, such as “What, art thou drawn among these heartless hinds?”, “keep the peace”, are well-used in order to describe Tybalt as a hothead and Benvolio as a calm and mature person. Third song, “Tragic story”, is written in a special form. It’s like a conversation between the singers. Thanks to that unique style, whole picture of the fight between Tybalt and Mercutio, Tybalt and Romeo are shown.
Maria Reyes English 170-1 September 27, 2011 Essay 1-Arguing for a Key Momma’s Boy American screenwriter Joseph Stefano once said, “A boy’s best friend is his mother” (“Joseph Stefano”). While this may be true, a mother and son can also be the worst of enemies. The generation gap between them can lead to disagreements concerning what is “right” and what is “wrong” in society. Another element that makes up this complex relationship is the belief that a mother is the dominant individual who molds what type of person her son will become. His behavior and outlook on life are influenced by how his mother raises him.
Lorrie Moore describes this situation in her article and how “the N word” should be changed to “slaves”. I think this word should be kept. The N word needs to be interpreted differently. Schools and teachers need to understand the meaning behind this word before concluding whether it is appropriate to teach or not. When I first read this novel, the first thing that popped out to me was the language the characters were using.
He is obviously biased against his father and wants his mother’s sole attention. This point of view provides humor because Larry thinks that he actually belongs in his father’s place, as his mother’s sole companion. Sexuality is involved in the story’s humor because the boy sees his mother as a spouse and he thinks that they can have children together. 3. Larry calls it irony that his prayers were answered because he prayed that his father would return from the war, and when his father actually returns from the war, he wishes that he would leave again.
By the end of this play, we see how Nora’s secret changes the relationship between the couple, as she violates the stereotypical role-play as a wife and mother in her era, which generates her inspirational growth. Nora, the main character, was first introduced as a very sheltered, immature, and optimistic woman. Helmer we see as proud of his male role in society and in the household, father-like towards his wife, and greatly cares for his appearance in others eyes. When speaking to each other, Helmer communicates to Nora as if she was his child instead of his wife. He does this by things such as calling her nicknames with negative characteristics, such as his little lark, spendthrift and featherhead.
