Carmen Dent Mrs. Roberts English Book: Beastly By: Alex Flinn 1. Discuss how the main character is like or unlike a person you know? (10 points) Kyle, the main character in the book Beastly, is rude and careless. He only cares for his self, and if someone looks ugly or nerdy to him he will be extremely disrespectful to them. There are a lot of people that I know who would do that to people just because they think they are better than most people.
When Allie left that summer, in the book it said how Noah wrote her letters for two years. In the movie Noah wrote Allie for exactly 365 days. Allie never got any of them because her mom hid them. Allies parents did not approve of Noah, he was poor and underclass, or as Allies mom called him trash. There were a couple of scenes in the movie that were not mentioned in the book.
Stradlater, Holden’s roommate, shows phoniness by how he is a “secret slob” also how it annoys Holden to where he gets into a fight with Stradlater over his sloppiness with Jane, which leads Holden to alienating him. Stradlater is a secret slob because as Holden says, “Stradlater was more of a secret slob. He always looked all right, Stradlater, but for instance, you should have seen the razor he shaved himself with. It was always rusty as hell and full of lather and hairs and crap” (35). This is showing Stradlater is a secret slob because he appears all right on the outside, but once someone gets to know him, they know he is slob.
Bottom is a complete extraovert, bossy, energetic and quite annoying. 'Now, name the rest of the players', 'First, good Peter Quince, say what the play treats on, then read the names of the actors; and so grow to the point', 'You were best to call them generally, man by man, according to the strip' — he tells the director (Peter Quince) what to do. At first the reader might dislike Bottom because of his sefishness but as his behaviour makes him shown as an idiot the weaver becomes our favourite comical figure in
“’Daddy-O, drop dead,’ he said and was gone” (190). The final line of Richard Wright’s short story “Big Black Good Man” is difficult to interpret, because it could imply one of two things: that Jim, the title character, was just joking with Olaf, the old hotel clerk; or Jim was well aware of Olaf’s secret hatred of him, and was making a double-sided remark as he left the hotel forever. Many critics believe Jim was actually oblivious to Olaf’s racist thoughts and feelings, but throughout the story, there are many examples that suggest otherwise. Firstly, the narration of the story is frequently unreliable, suggesting that Olaf, even though he “took in all comers—blacks, yellows, whites, and browns”, (185) was absolutely incorrect in his actions, and at the same time, presenting Jim as having the moral high ground and making all of his actions seem plausible and normal. The story is for the most part told in the third-person limited point of view, but sometimes steers into an omniscient point of view, usually at the detraction of Olaf’s perception on what is happening in the story.
When he did not find the man at home, he sent his investigator to the Boynton Beach Police to ask about Wilder. They told Whittaker they had a lengthy rap sheet on him. He was far from the gentleman that Beth had once described. Hed had a history of sexual offenses. Beth’s parents suddenly realized that on the very night that Beth had visited them for the last time, they had seen a television report about another missing woman one who looked very much like
No one in the Lacks family had been informed of the existence of their mother's cells until a researcher called in the early 1970s wanting to test the family. With this news, the family felt confused and scared. One of the family members described feeling to be the same as being raped, where they did it and nobody told them. The reporter even interprets that the “devil” in this whole study was Johns Hopkins University. One interviewee, Dr. Daniel Ford, states that, "Johns Hopkins needs to do a better job of communicating with the family and of recognizing it" but he also states that using Henrietta's genes was a standard practice at the time.
As a child I didn’t know I had a father until I was four years old and I spent a lot of time at friends houses while my mom was making, using or dealing Meth. One morning, when I was five years old, I woke up and my mom wasn’t there, I was worried so I called the police. She had come back after seeing them pull up at our apartment, saying she was at the store ... But she didn’t have any groceries. I think my family life growing up is part of why I think I may have mild
My mother told me that she layed on the floor for what felt like weeks (she doesn’t quite remember), and doesn’t even know who took care of my brother, my sister, and I. They went from drinking iced tea in the front yard looking at the stars one night, to living in separate homes and desperately searching for excuses as to why Dad’s snoring didn’t boom through the house the next night, or why Mom never carried the huge muddy boots outside in the morning mumbling to herself anymore. My father became an alcoholic after that, and my mother went to church. My mother finding what she believes in, was the best thing to ever happen to my family. She is the most loving, caring, accepting, and hilarious person I have ever met because of that place and those people.
I Believe In Being a Dad When I was fifteen years old, I was caught stealing a deck of cards from a convenience store. When my parents picked me up at the police station, I was scared to think of what they might say. On the way home that day there was not a single word spoken. When we finally arrived home, my father said to me, “Son, you don’t know how much what you have done has hurt your mom and me. But one day, when you have kids of your own, you will know how much you mean to us.” I didn’t know how true those words were until my daughter Kiara was born.
