I heard laughing and giggling as they all made fun of him, he was not afraid or embarrassed he simply shut the world out, one of his many talents. I watched as he sat down and cracked his knuckles and took a deep breathe. He surprised the whole school as he played the piece, “Johnny C. Badd”. I remember looking around feeling proud and full of happiness because my brother had showed everyone up, not only with teaching himself piano but being

In any story there is foreshadowing, which keeps the reader engaged in the story. There are a few examples of foreshadowing in Napoleon Dynamite. One example is that throughout the whole story there is this talk about Napoleon not having any real skills and he needs to have one. At the end of the story, the whole high school sees his big skill, which is that he can dance very well. One might say that during the whole story, one is always hearing this talk about having a great skill and finally at the end one sees the reason for all of the talk of skill.
“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view – until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.” (pg. 30) is one of the lessons learned. No one in Maycomb puts themselves in Boo’s shoes, so they don’t understand his suffering. People don’t see his true intelligence that was ruined by his cruel father; this makes Boo one of our most important mockingbirds. I see behavior like this everyday, as I walk down the high school halls, into the lunchroom, even just kids hanging out in town – there is always some one judging someone.
As a young boy, Frank has not yet learned much about life. He is naïve and inexperienced. His child-like innocence allows him to take a simple joy, such as learning a yo-yo trick, and make it the center of his life. He spends countless hours, working hard to master his skills, training for a competition he is so set on winning, only to be let down painfully. Frank’s learning experience is intricately expressed through Conroy’s writing in a way that audiences personally connect to and are able to understand Frank’s emotions at the moment; it is as if the reader is enlightened alongside him.
By telling them to rip the pages from their poetry textbook, he plants the seed of enthusiasm within each of them. They all have aspirations that have been crushed by the conformity of life and Mr. Keating helps them to realize their dreams. “Carpe Diem” becomes a central quote in the movie. Each boy soon seizes the day for himself. For the first time these boys come to the realization that they can be their own individual and that they can think for themselves.
I was lucky.” (17). Indian boys who failed were accepted: those who succeed were not. Alexie was smart and he was never intimidated, “I fought with my classmates on a daily basis. They wanted me to stay quiet...” (17). Alexie always uses the method of Pathos (emotion) to communicate his ideas to the audience.
Although we are not given a specific date or time period, the setting of the story is a specific setting because 5th Avenue in New York City and F.A.O. Schwarz toy store are real places. However, we can deduce that the story takes place in the 1960’s – 1970’s going by the cost of the commodities the poor families could afford. The city of New York is the main location of the story and is considered the macro setting. The slums where the characters grew up and the upper class toy store the educator took them to acts as micro settings.

We would go for long walks in the field, play, and tell jokes. Spending time with my brother was always fun and he was like my best friend. I could tell him everything and he would give me advice and it went the same for his as well. Yes, we had our times when we would fight, but our fights never lasted long. Tom and I were always very
