Max just became more of a dick, and the challenges in Susan and Andrews relationship added a lot of craziness to the show. It went from easy to manage and funny to very deep and stressful just after intermission. I feel like the second act could have had more humor to it, and that would have helped with the craziness of the second
The students showed this by becoming “listless” during his stories. His tone and words were always picked with sarcastic criticism, too; for example, “I don’t mean to be polite or impolite, either. I guess it’s a sort of way I have, of saying things regardless.” (Cather, 245). I think Paul used this to separate himself from the rest of the dull crowd around him. Paul hated his surroundings, he felt so disgusted by it all that he presented himself in the most obnoxious way; hoping that some day those around him would grow to appreciate his distinct
He says, “The inmates are often tormented by headaches. Many quite clearly can no longer focus their thought on anything. Some weep; others obsess” (198). By explaining what is happening to the inmates in isolation, Abramsky is reaching for sympathy out of the reader. If the reader were like me, they would have been sentimental and found this passage very uncomfortable.
With all of this new attention from others I found myself beginning to be very egocentric, and thought everything revolved around me. I also began to develop a looking-glass self about my self-image from how others viewed me. There was an incident where a friend of mine and I got into an argument and he called me a cracker and I retaliated by calling him a “nigga”, which wasn’t acceptable, but we got into trouble, and had to go to principal’s office. It was in the principal’s office that she laid out the groundwork for double consciousness. She explained to my friend
A sudden strained gasp. Turning toward the noise, I was astonished to see the young man drop his briefcase and burst into tears.” This quote introduces the protagonist to his challenge; he is being initiated into the main event of the story which he must internalize, then proceed with an action. The unexpected shock of seeing the stranger cry, and being the only other person in the elevator is the start of this journey. Being confused and unaware of what to do, the protagonist opts to do nothing and thus leading him to his deep-rooted feelings of regret and guilt. “The elevator stopped on the 10th floor and, without looking back, I stepped out.
Proctors decision makes a dramatic turn when Rebecca Nurse Enters the room. It could be said that Rebecca puts Proctor under a lot of pressure by saying that he is lying to the judges and not being truthful to himself or God. She is almost accusing him of being a coward in which Proctor has despised beings of this nature his entire life. Rebecca "(Astonished) why, John!" "Why, it is a lie" Proctor will have felt a lot of pressure on his shoulders in the short amount of time he had to decide his own fate as he had two different sides chirping in his ear.
During the script Holden’s tone very nervous. The reason why I think that he was nervous is because she kept coming on to him and he didn’t know how to take it. She also was sounding pretty nervous. Holden even said it himself. “She was pretty nervous for a prostitute.” {The Catcher In The Rye pge.94}.
What a son of a b****,” I said under my breath, “to bring them to this.” Tears streamed from my selfish eyes over my selfish face. I sobbed, my fists clenched in shame. I wept for the guilt I had caused them to feel.” [Bell 158]. Crabbe is misled by his own pride thinking his parents will not care if he runs away but clearly they cared a lot leaving Crabbe in a pile of guilt. The teachers that have Crabbe in their class rooms are tough on him because they are preparing him for his adult life which is much different than his adolescent life.
Holden has a lot of emotion but depression is one of the most popular he shows. Holden is known just to start crying even when the situation should make him angry and not sad. Holden says at one point “One thing about packing depressed me a little. I had to pack these brand-new ice skates my mother had practically just sent me a couple of days before. That depressed me.” This shows that Holden get depressed over the smallest things.
At the end of the experiment 6 people came up to me, 4 women and 2 men. The women were much more patient with me than the men were. In fact one man was so annoyed with me he began lecturing me about starving for attention. There was a sweet old lady that came up to me and asked me why I had my hand up, and with a straight face I asked her if she had the time. I think I embarrassed her with my question, because she had a flush face and walked away extremely fast.
