While Jing-mei’s mother had that view on success, Jing-mei believed that if she did her best, even if she was not perfect, she was being successful. Jing-mei expressed her view when she said, “she’s pretty good. Maybe she’s not the best, but she’s trying hard.” This difference in views contributed to the main conflict between Jing-mei and her mother due to it being a different view on what it takes to be

Many failed attempts and a highly disappointed mother later, Jing Mei realizes that the only thing that she wanted was to be her own person. She soon finds out that to do this she must rebel against her mother. Jing Mei gets so caught up in rebelling that she loses sight of what was originally the most important thing to her. This leads her on a deconstructive path of not giving full effort. Jing Mei thought that her mother was the only thing keeping her from reaching her full potential, while it was really her the entire

In the movie “Divergent” directed by Neil Burger, the central character Beatrice, shows many different characteristics of being an anti-hero. Beatrice Prior otherwise known as Tris is the main protagonist character and the narrator of the film. She is a strong willed 16 year old who lives in a society divided into groups called factions, based on individual human virtues. With her coming of age, she must now choose one of the factions to live in for the rest of her life, Abnegation (selfless), Erudite (intelligent), Candor (honest), Amity (peaceful) or Dauntless (brave). The definition of an anti-hero would be the main or central character in a story, movie or play who does not

her view contrasted Jing-mei’s American culture. “I was so determined not to try… I promised

“It’s not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me.” Said by Bruce Wayne, explains how he feels about what he does as Batman. His actions as Batman prove him as an anti-hero. Christopher Nolan portrays Batman as an antihero through isolation of the character, and a dim setting of the movie.

Moussa D Ragan mythology November 20, 2015 rough draft heroes and villains archetype Heroes and villains archetype are the most important archetypes in the world and in mythologywithout them the myths and legends would be boring and kinda not have any morals in them.these two archetypes are makes most of the myths relatable to the time period we live in now. These archetypes changed history of myths. There are of ways that a hero and villain archetype can appear. One way that heroes usually appear as the warrior that fights for his or her town or city and everybody praises them and everybody looks up to them. One way villains mostly appear is as evil, greedy and bitter person that has nothing to lose and usually tries to bring to the end

Although, she is still a conformist, she wants to do it her own way making her both. Jing-Mei’s mother is a conformist who just wants her daughter to be a prodigy so she can have a name for herself. Amy Tan gives her mother a dialogue that manifestly shows that she is trying to gloat about her daughter “If we ask Jing-Mei to wash dishes she hear nothing but music.” (104). Jing-Mei realizes she is being used and didn't like what she was force upon doing.

In the world that we are living in, there are many injustices happening everyday. Although every country have a legal system, some criminals still have not been arrested or received a proper punishment. Many people believe in a savior who will come someday to bring justice for them, and punish criminals and sinners. They make stories and movies about superheroes who come to help weak people to fight against the evil. People usually have a conception that a protagonist of a story should be a good person; however, there are many stories with an anti-hero protagonist who does both good and bad things. Base on people’s point of view, that kind of protagonist can be either good or evil. My most favorite book that has an anti-hero protagonist is

From Tony Soprano to Walter White to Don Draper the anti-hero seems to have replaced the classic hero on TV as a result of 3 following major influences. Over the past few decades, due to events of the world such as wars, attacks, natural disaster instilled a mistrust in establishments such as government and journalism, which is then reflected in the popular culture with the stories told on TV. The second major influence is the shift in FCC regulations for cable and subscription content that has had a major effect on the types stories that can be told in these two mediums. And third influence is the networks breaking free from advertising pressure; subscription TV has changed the landscape of TV, clearing the path for stories that are not influenced by rating and advertising, and valuing the story itself.

Gauri’s obnoxious characteristics that she obtained in America radically contradicts the calm and peaceful traits she’s

She was kind, talented, and successful with a rich danna who she probably loved. She was surpassed by Sayuri, her apprentice, as she became more successful than her even though she did question geisha beliefs often. Mameha and Sayuri, later on in the movie, were great examples of geisha when they were forced to face the war closer to home. Many geisha had to sell their luxurious belongings, replace their fine kimonos with slacks, and work in factories to survive. They were both lucky to have been able to survive and experience some sort of resemblance to geisha life once

What makes a “top-notch” villain name? The arch nemesis of Harry Potter, Voldemort, and the betrayer of King Arthur, Mordred, would say it is the sinister sounding “mor” in their names. The big question is what makes “mor” give off a malevolent vibe. It is found that the use of “mor” in a villain name is usually because of the root meaning, the way it sounds, or even just the author’s pure spontaneous name-making.

A villain is a person who tries to stop, kill, or destroy the protagonist in a story. The villain is a very important part to any story. The villain is rude, evil, and nasty. They are often known as the antagonist. Without a villain there wouldn’t even be a story. A villain can be likable or very hated. A lot of times the villain can be someone that the protagonist trusted. It can be family members or teammates or good people turned evil.

Imagine a promotion someone worked all their life to get was ripped away at the last second by someone else. The promotion was something they had put all of their effort towards getting, and they rightfully deserved it. This is how the character, Iago, in William Shakespeare's play Othello felt. Instead of quietly cursing the person who gave away his position, Iago acted against the main character, Othello, in order to satisfy his thirst for revenge. Through Iago’s quest for revenge, he manipulates the other characters, acts on his psychopathic anger, and impersonates being a friend to all of the characters. This reveals his complexity as a villain and enables him to justify his actions and get what he wants.
