Character Vs. Leeza In The Fifth Rule

I think to myself what if I had a fight with my mother? What if, the fight, I was in trouble? What would I do? After the chapter “ Rules of the Game ”, I think that I have a good idea on what Waverly will do next.

In The Giver their life is different from our life. The book and the movie are similar because the community takes the morning medication for their stirrings. The community also don't see color.

If he had been nicer to them maybe they would have changed their mood, action, or maybe even character.

O’Connor employs the grandmother’s selfish and manipulative character to reveal the true definition of justice. In the very beginning of the short story, the grandmother’s real nature evinces through her actions. The

However, the conflict between Waverly and her mother is very realistic, due to the nature that many mothers and daughters have different views which causes disagreements. The people of Chinese descent have their Chinese heritage, but struggle to keep true to their traditions while living around American culture. The major conflict in the story, the clash of different cultures, leads to the weakening of the relationship between the two characters. For example, when Waverly reenters the apartment after running away, she sees the "remains of a large fish, its fleshy head still connected to bones swimming upstream in vain escape" (Tan 508). Waverly sees herself as the fish, stripped clean by her mother 's power, unable to break free. Through the major conflict, the characters struggle to keep their relationship healthy and loving. Tan explains the feelings of Waverly through an important symbolic imaginary chess game as she writes, “My white pieces screamed as they scurried and fell off the board one by one. As her men drew closer to my edge, I felt myself growing light” (508). This shows how Waverly feels about the relationship with her mother and how she is losing the battle. The conflicts are important, especially to the theme, for the conflicts shows where the lack of understanding comes from and how it can be resolved.

Brinker reared back arrogantly. “And who do you think I am!” But Finny hadn’t heard that. His face had broken into a wide and dazzled smile at what I had said, lighting up his whole face. “Enlist!” I drove on, “I wouldn’t enlist with you if you were Elliott Roosevelt.”

In chapter 5, the perspective changes from Johnathan Harker, to his fiancee, Mina, who discusses how much she misses him to one of her close friends, Lucy. In the quote, Lucy writes about going against society’s norms, a contrast to the reserved Mina.

Vanno is a very homesick character which really shows because he shares so much love for him home, Abrussi. His emotions portray how much he loves Abrussi as he is constantly talking about it. “The ski patrol has permission to slit your throat” because Vanno keeps on talking about Abrussi. So instead of Vanno telling the stories to the ski patrol he tells them to Red Dog. This shows how Red Dog is different but the same and Red Dog is a “special doggy” and has “a gift”. This is where Red Dog really gets to know Red Dog and they become great mates. This isa good decision because he gets to tell his stories about “great, big, beautiful nuts” and he also doesn’t get his throat slit. Some people try to act what they’re not and over exploit their

For instance, within the primary dysfunctional family, many relationships are developed, which include two unbearable children, a power hungry dad, a hectic wife tending to her baby, and an unendurable grandmother. These relationships bring out other dynamics within the characters and the family (Lambert 2009). For instance, although both the father and grandmother are strict in ensuring that the children be respectful, on their part, they do not set an example that can be emulated within the family. First, the grandmother advises her grandchildren to be respectful, and then she goes ahead, making a profane racially prejudiced remark almost immediately (McCann, Jr 2011). At the same time, the head of the family—the father of the children, Bailey, requests the children to conduct themselves accordingly. However, confronted by a tense situation, Bailey loses his temper and threatens the family telling them that if they did not shut up, they would not go anywhere (Katharina 4).

Shortly after, the family is about to set off for Florida. After a brief conversation, Bailey forbids his mother from bringing the cat along for the ride. Once again, the Author expresses her view of her self-absorbed, callous mother through the grandmother. Going against her son’s orders, she decides to bring the cat anyways, for fear it may miss her too much or, in a freak accident, asphyxiate itself on on the gas burners. An utterly selfish action for nothing more than getting what she wants, just because she wants it. This action would prove to be disastrous in the end, showing the self destructive behavior of a woman unfit to be called a “mother” by O’Connor.

The Tale of Genji is a captivating story about an “ideal” man, who is in search of the nonexistent “perfect” woman. Throughout his quest, Genji faces many conflicting ideas, such as lust versus love and hopes versus reality. The main character, Genji, is an ideal man, because of his great looks and high social status resulting from his mother and the emperor’s relationship. Genji is also very talented in the arts, which should help him find a lover due to the courting style of the era. Though he has a lot going for him, Genji consistently finds himself disappointed in the women that he meets along his path for the “perfect” woman.
