The feelings I listed made me infer that something bad was going to happen as the story progressed. 2. What can we infer about Doodle based on his description? What I gathered from the description the narrator gave me about Doodle was that he was weak and disabled but he was also resilient. I use the word resilient because although the doctors, and his parents, and lots of other folks were saying that he can't do this or that; in the end he ended up being successful and completing every task they said that he won't be able to do.
In the book I read Blood Is Thicker by Paul Langan , there’s an on going central message and theme of trying to do what’s right in a situation that’s tough. Also throughout the book the main character is always confused and can sometimes lose himself in high pressure situations. A short summary to the book is the boy Hakeem Randall is faced with a lot of problems. It all starts when his Dad is diagnosed with cancer and that sparks the theme of sadness that constantly shows through the story. Once his Dad has gone through so many medical procedures the family has no money left and they are forced to move in with their uncle in Detroit.
If Romeo or Juliet had thought about what they were doing the book would have been different they would not have died for each other's love. Also in the story Night the main character is Elie Wiesel whom is also the author. The boy keeps surviving brutal treatment and moving from camp to camp through harsh environments for the love of his father and so he could see his family again. Most people would not have survived but he still did because of his emotions. Because of his fear of the Nazis and his fear of losing his dad he was able to survive.
During all the excitement that Christopher runs into, he doesn’t forget his mother address; his memory can visualize the letter and the address on it. Haddon is trying to tell the audience how even autistic people can have rare talents not given to most people. A further understanding is made that autism is not a setback on ones abilities to learn and reach success. The Curious Incedent of the Dog in the Night-time is a great book to read. It gives an understanding of autism that most do not recognize.
He can't think a single thought without the permission of the government and he doesn't love Julia anymore. Winston is tortured on several different occasions, all of which are done by his teacher - O'Brien. Winston turns out to be a textbook case of a person reformed by the government which leads me to my final comparison; Winston, like the animals in Animal Farm, forgot everything that they had learned before. By the end of the book, Winston is mentally dead. He can't think or act for himself, and he is just a toy of the government.
Which is why he remained silent for a decade after his voice was played over and over again on the news. Dennis Rader knew that strangling victims and binding them was wrong, he feared police catching him, and Dennis didn’t care if he lost the respect of his church, his scouts or family. Rader also let the sexual pleasure he gained from the crimes control his actions. It was his choice to plan out the murders and follow through with them. This is a perfect example of the rational choice theory (Siegel, 2008 p.84).
Like I said before, this chapter is mainly to bring the story back to life. Mrs Alexander having this information gives Christopher the impetus to go forward and carry on his investigation. Although Christopher doesn’t usually talk to strangers, he kicks the habit because Mrs Alexander says she as some information about his mum for him and what happened to the dog. Also this contradicts and makes Christopher an hypocrite to what he said earlier on in the book. He states that he cant tell lies, yet he tells his father that he wont carry on with investigation and as soon as Mrs Alexander lets him know that she has some information about his investigation, then he turns straight back too it.
Even though there was a lot of things in the Autobiography that parents may not find okay for students to read, they need to understand that things like that can happen anywhere in the world. Racism may not be as bad as it was before, but plenty of people continue to be the way there are to this day. As for the
