I was down a the quay last week, talking to all the fishermen, when Ambroise came in on his boat claiming that he had caught a whale. I wasn’t sure if I should believe him or not. There was no proof, and everyone else thought he was a joke. Ambroise seemed pretty convinced that he had actually caught a whale, and stormed off when no one would believe him. All week I’ve been hearing different stories about this.
In this piece the author has to describe a fish to a blind young boy “he has all these big scales, like armor all over his body” “and when he moves they sparkle” (54.35). Zoe Shewer the author of “Ready Willing and Able” objective is to not judge a book by its cover. In this piece the author shadows an inspiring street sweeper named Seymour on the sidewalks of Manhattan and experiences firsthand the judgment Seymour receives on a daily basis. “On this day I felt a jumble of feelings - panic, shame, sadness, and admiration for a man whose history is suggested by his jumpsuit and logo on his back” (116.5) this is the moment she gets a glimpse into Seymour’s everyday life.

Re-Viewing the Past A) The author the Black Robe explained that the movie may not be as a plausible account of the relationship between the Jesuit missionaries and the Indians. The entire knowledge on how the movie was going to be made was based on letters from missionaries to their superiors. There are also many inaccuracies in the story because the Indians knew how winter gets, so why would they go on a 1,500 journey in the middle of it when they were known not to leave their camp or stay far from it during winter. In The Crucible the movie shows that John was the one that falters by omitting the commandments against adultery, but in history facts it was actually Elizabeth's mistake. The movie did take some of the correct historic to
When the speaker says in line 2 “We left school,” she is saying that these young men are dropouts or they are at the pool room when they are supposed to be at school. In the second stanza, the speaker says, “Lurk late.” She says this because the pool players are out late at night when they are supposed to be at home doing homework, chores, or supposed to be asleep. In line 4, it says, “We Strike straight.” What she is saying when she says this is that the pool players can “strike” the pool ball “straight” into the pocket in the pool table. The pool players must have practiced playing pool a lot to “strike” the pool ball “straight” into the pocket. In stanza three, the speaker says, “We sing sin,” when she says this in the poem, she is talking about how the young men celebrate sin or as she said “Sing” sin.
The phrase “Never get off the boat” came from the movie Apocalypse Now, and the book Heart of Darkness. This phrase means to rebel, go against, not to follow authority, or rules. The phrase is mentioned a couple times. One of the meanings to it would be to stay sane, another would be to follow orders and be linier. The director of the movie, and the writer of the book makes the phrase a point and you can tell that the phrase has a deeper meaning to it.
Throughout the entire scene, Benjamin attempts to escape and breathe fresh air, but even when he arrives at the front door, more people push him back inside; he is finally forced to retreat to his bedroom. Here he is isolated and attempting to flee from the adults who consistently instigate the conversations about his future. Rather than face reality, he retreats to his bedroom, mesmerized by the fish tank, wishing he could disappear. Watching the film back a second time, the conversation Benjamin has with Mrs. Robinson about the fear of being left alone in her house, especially stands out to the audience. Here we are introduced to diminutive signs of conflicting viewpoints.
The two points of view are juxtaposed as they mock him for playing pool alone. Similarly, when pushing the desk out the window, interior shots of the room include Charles and exterior shots show only John at the window. The initial patterns representing the characters as real followed by the breaks in pattern showing them as only real from John’s point of view led me, almost subconsciously, through “mediation” or what Barsam & Monahan (2013) called “selection and manipulation of what was seen.” to the point of realization that the characters were not real and John was headed for a psychotic break. A second repeated motif including expectation has to do with scenes showing John’s wife waiting, apparently abandoned, as John is preoccupied with his psychotic breaks. The scene where she waits at the restaurant is an example of this.
He lands the marlin, tying his record of eighty-seven days after a brutal three-day fight, and he continues to ward off sharks from stealing his prey, even though he knows the battle is useless. Since the beginning of the story Santiago has been fight with the ocean of not being able to catch a single fish. Due this his determination and the fact that he needs to fish to survive. To Hemingway, the dignity of a man should be so important to that man, that he is willing to die for it. Most likely that is the reason Santiago went deep into sea.
