Analysis Of The Book ' The Way Green ' By John Green

Life is very complex and often hard to define. However, this challenge does not stop people from trying to sum up the meaning of life in one word. In Paper Towns by John Green, the three metaphors the strings, the grass, and the vessel are used throughout the book to chronicle the protagonist’s, Quentin, experiences. The novel revolves around Quentin Jacobsen, a high school senior. When his former best friend and long time crush, Margo Roth Spiegelman, comes back into his life and then suddenly disappears, Q attempts to piece together the clues he believes Margo left behind for him. Each of these three metaphors represent what Q is feeling and allow him to view life from different perspectives. As

In 1861, a Northern African American Alfred Green uses a speech about the discrimination against African Americans in the Union to persuade his fellow Northern African Americans to join the Union forces. Through ideals of fighting for the future and religion, Green persuades African Americans to join the Union army.

Social status often establishes one 's credibility and integrity within a society. The power that social status has, encourages people to heavily focus on it. With this focus on social status ever pressing, one’s identity often gets intertwined with and reliant on their place in the hierarchy of society. People become fixated on one idea they have of a person in a certain social class, that anybody who breaks out of specific stereotypes may often cause anger amongst others. In the short story “Greenleaf” by Flannery O’Connor, the main character, Mrs. May, is obsessive about the way others perceive her and her place in society. Mr. May’s identity is so strictly tied to her desire to get to a higher social class and her notions how society

Alfred M. Green’s speech, declared in Pennsylvania in April 1861, attempts to galvanize fellow African Americans to take action and join the Union army. In order to firmly appeal to those within his audience, Green initially starts his speech off with an appeal to ethos that is founded upon multiple allusions which later segues into a metaphors and an appeal to pathos which prompts an anaphora and a cumulative sentence laced with powerful, emotionally charged diction.

In a nation with a rich history of racism and inequality projected towards minority groups, many minorities were opposed to serving in any capacity during the Civil War. There were a few, however, that maintained an openness to the idea of aiding the Northern Union’s cause. Their willingness to fight for a shared dream, though, was not enough to put them on the frontlines. In fact, many willing African Americans were not permitted to join the ranks solely due to the color of their skin. This in and of itself was a discouraging reality for many African Americans of the time. The common question rang out: If they could not be accepted even as a soldier, how could they possibly be accepted as anything more later on? Advocate Alfred M. Green, however, had a different outlook. In short, Green decided that it was too soon to be giving up on the future. In his speech delivered to African Americans in Philadelphia, he hopes to inspire many to maintain their passion and join the Union forces. Primarily through emotional and logical appeal, Green constructs a persuasive case enticing many African Americans to continue fighting for the opportunity to join the Union army.

Ted Steinberg’s book American Green gives a detailed description of lawn and its role in America. He gives a history of lawn starting from the origin of the word “lawn” itself in the 16th century and gives wide-ranging anecdotes throughout the book that attempt to show the reader how obsessed Americans are with their lawns. His anecdotes are often meant to represent people all over America, but when you take a step back you realize that they are actually rare stories that provide little broader meaning. Steinberg fails to prove that American’s are obsessed with their lawns because of the poor assumptions he makes and examples he uses.

In Alfred M. Green’s speech in 1861, he is trying to convince African Americans to fight for their right to join the Union Army; Green does this by appealing to religion, patriotism, and equality.

The Civil War has been one of the most pivotal moments in American history. The was would change the way American functioned, as its main goal was to abolish slavery and promote equality. Yet, although the Civil War’s main goal was to gain rights for African Americans, they were still not allowed to fight for the Union army in 1861. As a response to this, Alfred M. Green (an African American himself) expresses his frustration with this situation by giving a speech to his fellow African Americans. He reveals that he believes that they should work harder to join the Union Army and he does so fervently. By employing the strategies of ethos as well as comparison, Green urges the African American community to join the Union army and fight for their

Definitions of what a green man is have changed drastically throughout the years. Traditionally green men are seen as figures of fertility and honour, however, in Jeanette Winterson’s The Green Man it is evident that the protagonist is far from this traditional role. A man’s sexuality is very much a large defining factor of his worth but in this text our main male role is stripped of it. His fertile abilities are lost on his lawn as his own wife refuses to copulate with him. This leaves his daughter to be his greatest achievement infertility, but even her creation results in the ultimate demise of his beloved lawn. It is true that the protagonist is a sacrifice from the beginning without a chance to change his predetermined destiny. After fulfilling his duty to sacrifice, fertilize and unfortunately die for the sake of others the green man emerges from the ashes. Being green is not something that can simply be described with adjectives but has rather become a modern day lifestyle in this text. In Jeanette Winterson’s The Green Man, the protagonist creates a modern green man archetype through his oppressed sexuality, his sacrifice and his life’s role in the rebirth cycle.

During the 1930s as well as today traveling around the country is a considerable way to enjoy vacation days and business trips. For white people back then its was an effortless process to get from place to place. However, African Americans had a difficult time traveling without being un- harmed, embarrassed and awkward. So Victor H. Green published a book called “The Green Book”, a guide for all African American travelers. It was a bold and thoughtful way to help the African American community by allowing them to travel around the country without any worry of people harming them or disrespecting them. I felt that this book assist several people to experience freedom by roaming around the country. The Green Book was composed of alternate ways
