Who Was John Reid Have you ever thought of a tutor going from tutoring, to falling in love, and too joining the American army as a spy… well John Reid is that guy from the book “Time Enough For Drums” By Ann Rinaldi. John Reid is a very brave, smart, and adventurous guy. John helped Jemima throughout her entire life basically and made her way more mature from the beginning of the book to the end. John Reid is a brave man from the 1700’s, I say this because he worked for the American army and did anything he could too protect Jemima.

In Alex Rider: Snakehead, teenage agent Alex Rider is held hostage by Chinese-British gangster addressed as Major Yu after being illegally smuggled into Australia under the cover of an Afghan refugee. To illustrate, Major Yu is snakehead general and part of the Scorpia executive board of sabotage and terrorism. Moreover, I predict, based upon various strings of evidence and particular quotes, that Alex will successfully flee from Major Yu’s grip and will be in the possession of M16 or possibly the Australian Secret Intelligence Service; both intelligence services in which Alex has served for in the past. This prediction is due to the fact that Major Yu remarks about his condition which is known as osteoporosis. Osteoporosis, more commonly known as brittle bone disease, is a type of infection that influences the bones and joints of an individual.

She searches for solace and comfort in other men, trying to replace the hole in her heart with someone else as a form of rebounding from the loss of her mother. She tries to find someone that “could do everything for” her instead of taking the time to truly examine how she feels and discover what she needs (Faulkner 58). Without guidance from a female figure in her life, she also becomes lost and is often compared to “a wild cat” (Faulkner 237). Scared, defensive, and paranoid, Dewey Dell acts and looks “like [she has] no age and [knows] everything in the world” when the exact opposite is true (Faulkner 201). The female lacks any role model after her mother dies and must fend for herself even though she wishes there was someone to rely on.

Ernest Hemingway, an American novelist from the 1920s, takes us through the interesting and yet melodramatic lives of Jakes Barnes and his group of friends, as they travel through Europe. Though their lives seem quite simplistic, the group of friends are all survivors of World War 1, giving them each different aspects of vulnerability and desire for the one female character, Lady Brett Ashley. The dominant and taboo woman of the story creates drama throughout the book, something that seems to give her the most power in the story. Hemingway transforms Lady brett Ashley’s susceptibilities as a woman into the most strikingly influential role in the book. Between Brett’s charismatic ways with men, her maternal influence, and her sense of independence,

Despite his father’s disapproval, Adam then decides to move to Toronto to continue his education path as a graphic design

Lady Brett ,also, is the representation of a post-war woman. By the strength she brings in this novel, breaking the pre-war code of value and role of women, Brett holds a position in this novel which traditional ,at the time, only men held. While Jake is the narrator, it is clear that the main subject of interest is Brett. Her role as the catalyst of the actions defines this central role and mirrors the renew of women after the war. The participation of women in the war, having experienced the same atrocities, gave many of them the claims that led to the first-wave of feminism. Lady

Lady Brett Ashley was a very important character in the book The Sun Also Rises. She had it all, she was pretty, and she had four guys ogling over her. Four guys!!!! She was independent, she could do whatever she wanted. She was definitely not sympathetic however, nore would she be a good role model for anyone because yes, she does treat her male friends cruelly.

The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway, Jake and Brett rejecting the normalized feminine and masculine code allows the book to take an ironic turn. Women have to have long hair and be dependent. They have to keep the house clean and have the minimum amount of sexual partners. Lady Brett Ashley does none of those.

Women of the 1920’s compared to women today are seen as very passive and were usually domestic wives whose main responsibility was to take care of the house and children. But throughout this decade, women were starting to slowly modernize and become more independent. In The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway, Lady Brett Ashley is somewhat portrayed as “the admirable new woman” of the 1920’s-the woman who openly flaunts accepted conventions of the passive, dependent female role in society and emerges as a positive, inspiring, and risk-taking figure in Paris, Pamplona, and Madrid among the male expatriate artists. In the novel, we see Brett as a modern and somewhat inspiring woman through characterization and the analysis of specific moments

Hemingway portrays the Dream as both an overarching theme of the novel, but also shows us it's failures and quirks through more minor means. Gender dynamics are broken and often swapped between characters- the protagonist, Jake Barnes, is unable to have sex or reproduce, putting him in a more effeminate role as a man who must remain celibate for the remainder of his life. To juxtapose this lack of "masculine identity," Hemingway even places Jake opposite Lady Brett Ashley (Jake's love interest throughout the novel) who self-proclaims herself "one of the chaps." She oftens exhibits what has traditionally been considered masculine behavior. Brett has a rebellious wild streak, smokes and drinks, lacks any religion or fully-formed moral beliefs. She's promiscuous and soon to be a divorcee. Brett seems to emasculate many of the men around her; both because of her self-confident, almost aggressive mannerisms and because of her ability to collect and throw away men at her slightest whim. Lady Brett is everything (or at least many aspects) of what Jake might have been- the strong, self-assured and self-satisfied macho man who believes everything is some

In the book The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway, Brett Ashley stirs trouble and causes lots of jealousy due to her yearning to be with every man she meets. The theme of love can be seen in almost every chapter of this novel, yet most of the time it is not mutual and Brett Ashley is the one to blame for that. She jumps around to many different men in the book making them all love her, but the next day she has moved on and the boy is stuck with unrequited feelings. For instance, Brett was engaged to be married with Mike. She meets a man called Romero though and swears that she has fallen in love with him. Brett discusses with Jake as she usually does describing her dilemma in chapter XVI. Brett says that when she meets a boy that she likes

Some themes are more generalized than others, but the ones that involve the pursuit of happiness are very universal for literature. In the works “Hedda Gabler” by Henrik Ibsen, and “The Sun Also Rises” by Ernest Hemingway, there are many connections that can be made to compare the characters in each. Hedda Gabler and Brett Ashley are the most obvious pair, they share many traits as women in the spotlight. Although both Hedda Gabler and Brett Ashley endure a lot of attention from men, Hedda’s self serving nature reveals that to pursue happiness, manipulating others and causing drama may be necessary; whereas Brett’s disregard for how her actions affect others emphasizes that the road to happiness isn’t easy.
