1 INTRODUCTION The Triplets of Belleville (French: Les Triplettes de Belleville) is a 2003 animated

The author creates a mood of being irritating by her “…awful grandmother…” and brothers “…Alfredito and Enrique…” who are occupied playing outside as “… a B-Fifty-two bomber…” [paragraph 5] and her grandmother with a “… long, long list of relatives … names of the dead and the living into one long prayer…” [paragraph 10]. Including, the imagery provided in the short story described the character’s actions by watching her grandmother pray while she counts her grandmother’s mustache hairs. Later, an unknown lady and man start talking to her brother asking if she could take a picture, than judging by their looks, they assume they do not speak English but only

Stocked or stereotyped characters are character types that appear so often, that the reader immediately recognizes their nature. The two stocked or stereotyped characters I am going to talk about are: 1. Ichabod Crane, and 2. Katrina Van Tassel. To me Ichabod Crane is a typical thin and clumsy man. But Irving saw it a little differently by saying 'He was tall, but exceedingly lank, with narrow shoulders, long arms and legs, hands that dangled a mile out of his sleeves, feet that might have served for shovels, and his whole frame most loosely hung together. His head was small, and flat at the top, with huge ears, large green glassy eyes, and a long nose, so that it looked like a weather cock, perched upon his spindle neck, to tell which way the wind blew.'; As Irving puts it, Katrina Van Tassel, 'Was a blooming lass

The abandonment of her father leaves her with her Great Uncle Etienne and Madame Manec who passes away shortly after Monsieur LeBlanc’s departure. Marie-Laure no longer has someone to guide her physically and emotionally. This absence creates moments of desperation where she is engaging in dialogue with her father begging for guidance when he is not there. In one part of the story, she is hiding, and her hunger is eating away at her fear of being discovered so much so that she is willing to risk her safety to satisfy her stomach. The voice of her father engages and encourages her not to eat and to wait it out until it is safe. Furthermore, Marie-Laure experiences her internal conflict of value to society and her Great Uncle. There is a moment when she asks Etienne if he ever regretted Marie-Laure and her father showing up at his doorstep in which he promptly replies that he does not. Marie-Laure without the guidance of her father now must find her will to survive and choose whether or not she is going to wither away hiding or be a part of the resolve in the war. The absence of her father gives Marie-Laure the free-will to choose as she pleases and she chooses to be a part of the resolve. Marie-Laure becomes a part of an intricate system of bread delivery from the bakery to her Great Uncle. In return, Etienne transmits discrete radio signals to points of enemy locations and

Jeanne is riding in the first trip to their new home. The trip is quite wild and disorderly due to Papa’s state of drunkenness. When they reach their destination, the family is in a state of apprehensiveness. They fear the worst possible situation. Luckily, everything remains normal, the people are indifferent to them. Unfortunately, it

3). Because of the narrative mode of this novel, we are not only able to be told the story of Grenouille’s birth and troubled childhood, but we are also able to read the minds of these characters and their uncanny feelings towards Grenouille, which would not be possible through any other narrative mode or voice. And this is all being done to create a distance between the reader and Grenouille.

Firstly, Every hardship and obstacles she endured throughout her childhood helped Jeannette to become a successful adult.Jeannette’s parent were very unpredictable, her mother was self absorbed in her hobbies, and her father was an interminable alcoholic. Even though her parent neglected and gave less attention to Jeannette,

Descriptions of physical appearance in a novel are extremely important piece of developing who a character is, Stephanie Oakes cultivated this in the utmost way by using numerous comparative examples as well as very descriptive words. “He’s a strange-looking man, like I imagine an old gnome might look, a hooked nose and black brooms of hair coming out of his ears and a circular hole in his left front tooth” (Oakes 25). In this one sentence she uses comparison to a gnome, as well as describing other small things about this man you wouldn’t know unless she directly came out and told you such as his nose being hooked and the black brooms of hair coming from his ears. “Though her face is relaxed, it forms a

Jeannette was always dirty from her adventurous because she lived in the desert for some time and would chase around the wild animals and insects. Jeannette was always traveling with her family and had no control of her life. Her parents were selfish, law breaking people who couldn't keep a job. Jeannette was young and didn't understand why her parents

“I was surprised when an old one-eyed jasper that was built along the lines of Grover Cleveland went up and was sworn in.” (pg. 43)

Through her youth, Jeannette faced many hardships due to her negligent parents. Even so she always had an sanguine outlook on life. Jeannette fell out of a moving car and was abandoned. Her father didn’t even notice until hours after. Instead of being shocked or terrified of the situation, she laughs it off.

Examples of this would be the description of McTeague’s being “six feet three inches from the ground.” This example shows how McTeague would seem intimidating, that is with some of the lines that follow this one, but how that is truly not the case. This is then used by the author to poke fun at McTeague for not meeting the expectations set by his birth. The there is McTeague’s facial description of being “square-cut, angular; jaw salient.” This line demonstrates how McTeague lacks character due to his square features.

Beauty and the Beast is a “Tale as old as time” or at least as old as 1740 which is when the first publication appeared (De Villeneuve). The original author, Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve, wrote 362 pages which Jeanne- Marie Leprince de Beaumont later abridged (De Villeneuve). Countless people know the general story of Beauty and the Beast: A beautiful girl saves her father by becoming a prisoner in an enchanted castle. She and the master, a hideous beast, become acquainted. The beast wants the girl to be content, even when her request is to leave, so he lets her go. When the girl returns, the beast is in grave danger. Tearfully the girl confesses her love for the beast, and he transforms into a handsome prince.

The resentment within the young girl’s family is essential to the novel because one can understand the young girl better as she makes her decision.
