Analyzing Andy's Character From 'Royal'

The night he was stabbed there was a local dance at his high school many eyewitnesses saw Andy leave the dance. The police question his girlfriend and she said he had gone to get cigarettes from the general store named, “ Grover general store.” Police talked to the store clerk and this is want he said, “ I saw the boy around 11 o'clock our store was out of cigarettes so I told him to go to the next general stores few blocks down. The security cameras from the other store showed no signs of Andy.

Andy Catlett’s identity was lost as his hand was separated from him. He struggle to adapt to his new hand, “His right hand had been the one with which he reached out to the world and attached himself to it. When he lost his hand, he lost his hold” (Berry 23). He feels disconnected from everything and all he could do is remember how things use to be with his hand. He remembers working and being able to do anything he wanted, however now he struggles to connect with anyone even his wife. In various parts of the book is difficult to realize if he is remembering something or if he is discussing about his life now. Berry uses natural events to describe attitudes and feelings, “Time and their lives flowed over them, like swift water over stones, rubbing them together, grinding off their edges, making them fit together” (Berry 29). This blurs the boundaries

Andy’s questionable decisions contributed to his untimely death. One of those decisions was when Andy decided to join the Royals gang and wear the jacket that symbolized his loyalty to the gang. Andy eventually realized that he was stabbed because he was apart of that gang. Who had a rival gang called The Guardians. While Andy was bleeding he thought to himself: “Had they stabbed him, Andy, or had they only stabbed the jacket and the title, and what good was the title if you were dying?”(Hunter 38). This contributed to his death because if he hadn’t joined the gang in the first place he wouldn’t have been recognized as a Royal. He also wouldn’t have been stabbed because he was just Andy and none knew him to be a Royal. Another arguable decision

By all accounts we see Andy 's character reflecting certain choices of conformity in which he clearly represents behavior and appearance that follows and maintains a particular standard and acceptance of a group. As we learn further in the story we must also consider the factors of behavior that reflects deviance. This behavior challenges the norms. Andy has been convicted of violating the norms of everyday life by murdering his wife and her lover and he is arrested for the murder.

My character I’ll pick is from the story, “On the Sidewalk Bleeding” Andy is a high schooler with high standards for what he did at the end. Andy was a normal guy with a loving girlfriend named Laura. Andy seemed like a well behaved, educated kid but something he was apart of changed his life for the bad. At the beginning of the story Andy was minding his business until a member of the Guardians stabbed Andy, a member of the Royals gang, in a dark alley without even seeing Andy’s face. As Andy goes through the depressed stage/thoughts and what he will do next, a few people walk by and don’t help him. A couple even casted upon Andy laying down accepting any help he can get but instead, the couple leaves Andy where he was because he was a “Royal”.

The Andy Griffith Show has a lead character who is definitely the leader. He has an aunt who is skilled in the kitchen, but outside of it, she needs his guidance and protection. He is the man of the house and Mayberry, and anything that questions it will be scrutinized. I will analyze the episode, “Aunt Bee’s Romance”, from the Andy Griffith Show through a critical cultural studies perspective and discuss the relationship between Andy’s masculinity and the shortcomings of being elderly and being a woman in the eyes of a middle class white man.

You know that.” When Dougals lost Andy, he didn’t fully accept it. He did not want to face the reality that he lost his best friend. In a therapy session, Douglas is brought to reality that Andy is not alive anymore and he has to relive the Tuttle incident that happened 3 years ago. They were both in a house that was engulfed in flames. After escaping from the fire, Douglas realized his knife was still in the house. This knife was special to Douglas, because Andy had given it to him as a Christmas present. Andy, who would would do anything for his friend, decided to run back inside the house and save the knife. He sadly could not make it out of the house alive. When Douglas is reminded that his best friend really is gone, the pain comes back. Douglas goes back to a really dark and unhealthy

Andy’s guilt is evident through his actions in the novel of Tears of a Tiger. Characterization plays an important role in the reader’s understanding of character development. Readers of Tears of a Tiger and Deep and Dark and Dangerous find Sissy and Andy to both be lonely. For example in Deep and Dark and Dangerous Sissy states, “Now you feel sorry for me. You don’t really like me.

Andy Mulligan's choice for the boys growing up in a dump is something that is happening in many places all around the world. This storyline educates people about how they live, what they eat and how they earn money so that you're not just reading a book you’re learning something about the world around you.” You want to come see? Well, you can smell Behala way before you can see it.” (P.4). This sentence emphasizes the mass amount of trash there is that is just dumped there. The use of Hyperbole is over dramatic and contrasts the life of the rich with those of the less fortunate. “The wall divides the rich quarter, where the dead get buried in earth, from the poor quarter, where the dead get stacked up in boxes” (P.180). Symbolism realy brings the story to life and shows the seriouse differences between the two social statuses. Even just describing how they are buried moves the reader because of the differnce and how lucky people are. The use of symbolism heightens our awareness of this discrepancy. Poverty happens everywhere, and this sheds some light on the hardships these people have to overcome to

Dawe arouses our senses in the third and fourth stanza by stating through the use of olfactory and auditory imagery, ‘somebody’s rubbish/burning, hearing vaguely, hearing a dog, a kid, and whisper of traffic.’ However, in the movie Darryl doesn’t confide completely in his poolroom and the prized possessions that are located within it, he has a loving family in which he can solve his problems with and can share his emotions, he is more advantaged than the man Dawe describes in his poem as he has living individuals who can give him words of support and people who can give him the exact amount of emotional connection to him that he has towards his poolroom. Whenever Darryl states, “this is going straight to the poolroom” he says it with much pride which helped shaped my general understanding of the Australian identity being so emotionally invested in inanimate objects rather than their loved ones but also Dawe helped me create a sense of understanding towards people who choose to live their lives devoted to something else rather than a

Until his death he is a very cold and irritable person and it doesn't make you feel very sorry for him when he dies. As his wife is six months pregnant, he should be helping her not the opposite and the news he is leaving her now gives him no sympathy from the reader.

She becomes some sort of a mother figure to Anton. Although Anton felt as if he could remember every word, every feeling and every scent that night in the cell, he drew a blank. Takes explains that the woman in the cell with him was one of Ploeg’s killers. This was one of those important moments in your life that is so grave you can’t allow yourself to remember. It may have been due to the fact that Anton didn’t remember, or didn’t want to remember the details that remind him of the death of his family members.

TORONTO, ON- Rainy Monday midnight took a turn, when 16-year-old student, Andy Dwyer was found fatally stabbed in an alley, on Queen Street in Downtown, Toronto.

Later, when Helen found out that Julie and her husband Tod had nowhere to live, she let them move in with her. She is a permissive parent, yet, she cares about her children, provides them as much support as she can. Helen stayed calm when Gary told her he wanted to live with his dad for a while. I can see her heart was bleeding when she heard her son’s words. She gave Gary his father’s phone number anyway, and Gary talked to his dad over the phone and figured out the cruel fact that his dad didn’t care for them anymore. Helen wanted to comfort Gary but he refused to talk. I felt Helen’s guilt and desperation at that moment. After she broke into Gary’s room and found out that Gary was carrying the bag that contains pornography, she immediately asked Tod’s help to talk to Gary. She had a chance to talk to Tod and had learned that Tod came from a broken family. She had a better idea of who Tod was and his help to Gary gained Helen’s respect.
