Use Concrete Language to Create Clear Visual Images of the Setting and Characters: Form Martin’s description of memories he had of his father, I could picture each event as I read them. I could see his father handing Martin the keys to the 1957 Chevy or his father being at the tumbling contest, and I would try to picture their reactions of the situation.

I am so proud of him... I have the bravest brother in the world”. This shows that Charlie looks after Tommo and would take the blame if it meant that his brother wouldn’t be hurt “so Charlie saves” Tommo “twice that day”. Tommo loves and Charlie and he says “I have the bravest brother in the world” when Charlie doesn’t cry out after being caned. This is hyperbole and it shows that Tommo looks up to Charlie.

Jay Gatsby is also motivated by love, however it is by the love he has for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan.

These gloves belonged to Jackie’s father, and he wants Billy to inherit the gloves, so he can be as good as his grandfather. But what Jackie does not know, is that Billy has a secret, and Jackie keeps being satisfied with his son’s work, as a boxer. In another scene, Billy is telling his father that he wants to go to ballet. Jackie says that boys are supposed to play football, boxing or wrestling and not ballet, and he gets very confused. I think that Jackie feels that Billy now is a shame for the family, because of what he is doing, and he cannot really see why Billy should do something as ridiculous as ballet.
Private Peaceful shows that while young men go to war to ‘prove themselves’, all they really prove is the futility of war. Do you agree? The novel ‘Private Peaceful’ by Michael Morpurgo shows that, even though young men go to war to prove themselves, all they prove is that war is completely futile. The novel shows this when it talks about the thousands of dead soldiers, the pointless attacks, and the post-script section of the novel. This incredible war story shows us that, even though they display great bravery and valour in battle, the only thing young men who fight in wars accomplish is an early death.
