Analysis Of The Movie ' The Night ' By F. Scott Fitzgerald Essay

Dilsey is not at all scared of him and even when Mrs. Compson says he is the head of the house, with a tart reply Dilsey responds that there is no use in waking Miss. Quentin up just to suit him. Dilsey knows that the house will not run smoothly if not for her and how heavily they all depend upon her to keep things in order at the Compson household. Going further back in the novel to Jason’s section, there is a situation where Jason is about to strike Miss. Quentin with his belt for misbehaving (not going to school, lying to her grandmother, not listening to anyone). Dilsey cuts right in and interferes Jason before he is about to strike her. She is not a bit scared at all and stands right in front Jason looking him in the eye and challenging him to hit her [p.98]. The fact that she could do that and get away with it is a sure sign of some sort of cultural change and boundary breaking between ‘Blacks’ and ‘Whites’. Dilsey takes her duty very seriously and regardless of being ill treated she stays loyal to the Compson family. This shows a cultural breach because Dilsey is black and during that time period, they were considered inferior.

In the book Night and the movie, Schindler’s List, the protagonists go through major changes due to their experiences of the Holocaust, a period in history no man would want to envision. Schindler’s List is created to convey a different side for the tragic time in history, an ordinary businessman. This businessman, Oskar Schindler, wants to prove that there will be hope in this desperate time. However, the motive behind Night is different. In Night, the author Elie Wiesel aims to describe his experiences in the Holocaust to avoid the past from reoccurring. Hence, Night is more effective in demonstrating Holocaust education through characterization. As the characters undergo changes in the novel, the goal of the author is attained.

The theme is the main message the author is trying to say through any literary piece, it can be anything the author desires it to be. Schindler’s List provides many examples of the theme: the best and the worst parts of human nature. Oskar Schindler showcased the best of humanity. He had created a factory to help save many prisoners, even though he knew it was against Hitler’s command. Also, the soldiers demonstrated the worst of humanity. They were killing thousands of innocent people just because one man told them to. Similarly, the novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, and the memoir, Night, demonstrates this theme. Throughout To Kill a Mockingbird, the society of Maycomb shows the best parts and the worst parts of human nature. Throughout the memoir,

Any visitor to the French Riviera in the mid-1920s, the setting of F. Scott Fitzgerald's Tender is the Night, would describe Dr. Richard Diver as a charming, respected, well-mannered physician. Dick is a noble man who has dedicated his life to the health and protection of his beloved wife without thought to himself. Furthermore, he gives wonderful parties and is a reliable source of help to any friend in need. In fact, "to be included in Dick Diver's world for a while was a remarkable experience" (Fitzgerald, Tender, 27).

The ground is frozen, parents sob over their children, stomachs growl, stiff bodies huddle together to stay slightly warm. This was a recurrent scene during World War II. Night is a literary memoir of Elie Wiesel’s tenure in the Nazi concentration camps during the Holocaust. Elie Wiesel created a character reminiscent of himself with Eliezer. Eliezer experienced cruelty, stress, fear, and inhumanity at a very young age, fifteen. Through this, he struggled to maintain his Jewish faith, survive with his father, and endure the hardships placed on his body and mind.

As known to be of human nature, it is common to go through hardship; Some so extreme, that faith with in whatever deity that person believes in, can be weakened or totally broken and break that person, as well. This is exactly what Elie Wiesel explores in his autobiography, Night. In the narrative based off his hellish experiences in the concentration camps, Wiesel vividly discusses his constant alertness that his and his father’s lives were in jeopardy. One simple indication of weakness could have easily been a death sentence to the both of them, as it was for some many of Jewish people (man, woman, child) during the Holocaust. The thought that a god would let some much injustice and maltreatment of a people go unwarranted did not sit well with the author, as he was so devoted to his The theme of identity is existent in the narrative as the author struggle with the rapid changes and challenges that has occurred over a relatively short, but detrimental part in his life—kidnapping him from his lifestyle, losing his faith as a result of mental and physical torment, and being a free man with nothing familiar, not even himself.

A series of interactions between Dilsey and Luster reveal how she attempts to teach her grandson to be more gentle in his treatment Benjy. Despite the fact that Benjy is not related to her, Dilsey goes out of her way to make sure Luster treats Benjy properly. She doesn’t act this way simply because she works for the Compson family, but because she sees how poorly Jason Jr. treats him and how much Caroline neglects him. Jason Jr. is the father figure left in Benjy’s life, and yet he wants nothing more than to have him sent to the asylum in Jackson. Caroline is Benjy’s mother, and yet she cannot make the effort to get out of bed and care for her son, who she sees as a curse from God. There are specific examples of interaction between Dilsey and Luster, like “Reach it again, and I chop it right off with this here butcher knife” (Faulkner 37) and “You git Benjy started new en I beat yo head off” (Faulkner 177), where in reaction to Luster’s poor

Ricendithas stood after this meeting was adjourned, disinterestedly looking around the room as he then followed Stella out into the main room. He hadn 't missed Soyeon giving him the stink eye; if anything, it only brightened his mood that he 'd managed to ruffle her feathers so nicely. And while they were going down the stairs, Ric just looked about while ignoring her little tryst about not touching anything. "Do I look like some common thief?" he muttered, his visible green eye shooting downstairs as he heard the argument. One that made his bemused smirk turn into a grin that make the Cheshire Cat jealous.

Influence plays a major role in the lives of all artists. Whether it is a painter, musician, or author, if they hadn’t been influenced in some way, their work would be nowhere near as compelling as it is. What shines through in the work of any artist is emotion; if art was without emotion it’s pretty inevitable that it would not draw so large an audience. In fact, without emotion or influence, art would have an almost scientific feel to it. It is because of the individual influences on the artists life that we as humans are so attracted to various forms of art.

“It’s a great day in America.” The question is, for who? The aura of oppression has plagued the black community indefinitely. While the principal of American values is sound, there is an overwhelming concern with regard to the reality, of who is welcome into the “American Dream.” An undertone has boiled beneath the surface of these values for generations. The robust history of racism in America is alarming. While it is important to note that gains have been made, is a race that is almost won considered victory? Let’s explore. On American soil, in a suburb of Tulsa named Greenwood, Oklahoma, war was waged on America’s own. A massacre so savage, many have opted to delete it from their memory all together. The local and state authority of Oklahoma went as far as to omit it from the public records altogether. Grotesque acts that claimed not only the lives of thousands, but has tainted the American Dream in its entirety. Thus, begging the question, “What exactly is the “American Dream?” In 1921, the face of society certainly differed from what we see today. Flagrant racism did not hide behind closed doors or live behind pursed lips. Racism was widely accepted as a way of life. The bigoted heart was worn as a badge of honor. The oppression of the black race was a sign of the times. Slavery was profound across much of our nation, and blacks were treated with extreme aggression despite their succumbing nature to the ill treatment, they were force fed

The play begins by revealing the setting as Pawhuska, Oklahoma. Seemingly important details are that the play is taking place during a scorching month of August, the home where the scene takes place is run down, and that any source that permits sunlight to come in has been taped down.

Violet is addicted to pills, has mouth cancer, and reveals herself to be unstable and sporadic.

I turned and both men backed me to the wall and pinned my arms above my head. I looked around for Renee but she was nowhere to be found. Quint crossed the arena floor but she was nowhere to be found. There were shadows in the corners where she could be hiding but he didn 't see her. From out of nowhere a boot connected with his head and he was out cold. Renee had used her thieving abilities to hide and climb the arena wall. She had waited on a shadowed ledge for the right opportunity to jump and take out Quint. When Valyn noticed that his teammate was passed out on the floor he released his grip on me and took evasive action as both of us charged him. I made a flying tackle. Renee pinned his arms to the ground as I straddled him. My crotch

Susan and Beth continued to share a bedroom in Texas, and a bit of mischief was never far behind.
