Use specifics and direct your analysis to moments in the text as well as the text’s overall arc. You might start with the idea that Prose is careful to begin her essay by speaking on the friendly common ground of parenthood. As she continues, her role as educator and English professor becomes a stronger persona; the way she presents research she has done establishes this ethos (para. 29 is a striking example). She also speaks as a reader, someone who loves books, especially fiction, and learns from them; the section on her reading of King Lear is particularly germane to this persona (paras.
The Box-Social It is well known that one should not anger women, for if they do they will live to regret it. In the story "The Box-Social" the author, James Reaney, effectively shows the theme hell hath no fury like a women scorned through Sylvia. However, some people may argue that the main theme is to expect the unexpected. Firstly, she planned for him to get the box. Then, Sylvia tricked the young man into thinking she had forgiven him.

In reading and studying “Speak” By author Laurie Halse Anderson , my character analysis has taught me how Melinda dealt with her problem and what she went through to get her life back…it also taught me to choose my friends carefully and that keeping your anger and pain bottled up can hurt you more than you know. Reading this book taught me that no one should judge anyone’s feelings because no one knows what they’ve been through and how they
Essay 2 “Revelations” In literature written by Flannery O’Conner, she uses violence, ridicule and prejudgment in her stories. I believe she does this to “return her characters to reality and to prepare them to accept their moment of grace.” This is proven in her story “Revelation,” where O’Conner uses ridicule and violence to portray her main character, Mrs. Turpin. She goes through a transformation of one person to another through violence in this story. To begin, she is very snotty, close minded, very racial as well as judgmental. But as the story progresses you can tell that she becomes less violent, racial etc…., and more of a well rounded person in general.
This shows that Crabbe has respect for Mary’s Privacy, but he did wonder what was in that bag. “There’s very private … stuff… in that pack. You must promise me you’ll never look into it” (Pg. 76)This quote shows Mary upset about the pack and making Crabbe promise to never look in the pack means that is really important to her , It would hurt her a lot if he look into that pack
Sarah bottled up her deepest thoughts, never expressing her past to anyone. In a way, she was able to repress the painful memories. Sarah states, “No one here knows. No one here knows about the key, about you…about who I really am” (Rosnay 259). The id being, “the dark, inaccessible part of our personality” ("New Introductory Lectures"), clearly proves how someone in Sarah’s life would be unable to completely understand her due to the fact that she hid her sorrowful past.
“Over here we don’t believe in persecuting anybody. Persecution comes from people who are prejudiced.” However, her attitude towards the whole Tom Robinson case says the complete opposite. Scout even hears her say after Tom's sentence "it's time someone taught 'em a lesson, they were gettin' way above themselves, an' next thing they think they can do is marry us. " Scout does a lot of "growing up" in this novel. She doesn't understand much about the world in the beginning, and by the end she understands a little too much.
As for the people without spiritual beliefs, right and wrong must be determined individually from life experiences and the impact of society. These two foundations for ethical direction excuse for the differences between O'Connor's explanation of story and the suspicious misunderstanding that Stephen Bandy gives in his article "'One of My Babies': The Misfit and the Grandmother." Stephen Bandy totally misinterprets the grandmother when he examines O'Connor's story and focuses mainly on the grandmother as being "a hypocritical old soul" (Bandy 1400) who exhibits "moral shoddiness...almost beyond description". Bandy focuses the bad qualities of the grandmother through the story, however there is not enough proof to support his case that "It is not easy to say who is more evil, the Misfit or the Grandmother" (Bandy 1401). In several ways she is defining to the readers that the grandmother is a usual soul with
Explain the ways in which the writer develops the core character in: The darkness out there and when the wasps drowned The Darkness out there Penelope Lively begins “The darkness out there” by stereotyping Mrs Rutter as a “Dear old thing”. Later on in the story Penelope develops her into an “old bitch” this already starts to change your perception of her, but when a small flashback is revealed our first instinct of Mrs Rutter is changed, and this time for good. At the beginning of the story Mrs Rutter is referred to metaphorically as “a creamy smiling pool of a face” which suggests that she is warm towards Kerry and Sandra. Also, the word creamy also states that she is soft. As well as that the word creamy has a percussive sound associated with it which emphasizes her pleasance.
