Characteristics Of Jody

This question is honestly the most difficult to answer. The entire book was intriguing from start to finish. I would say that what I liked the most about this book is all the pictures he placed on there. He captured every image with so much meaning. It is as it’s said, “a picture is worth a thousand words.” I got to see the faces of the fellow heroes in Fallujah.

One scene that shows Jody and Janie’s relationship is on page 43. In this scene, one of the townspeople asks Janie to make a speech. Before Janie even has a chance to answer Jody tells them that Janie does not know how to make a speech and is not meant to be doing that. This scene is the first scene that we see Jody fully control Janie and make decisions for her.

These chapters led me into a dark reflection of who Jody truly was. He swooped me off my feet when I met his character, just like he swooped Janie off of hers. He made promises that seemed hopeful and sincere. However, through these chapters I felt as if I saw his true colors. He seemed to be just like the rest of the men. I hate to classify them and stereotype them, but he was not so charming after all.

In the same fashion, dealing with Maureen Walls, the youngest child of the Walls family, had to rely on her friends and people she hardly knew to provide for her. This situation went as far as Maureen going to her friend’s house to eat meals and

My favorite chapter so far was chapter five because Salamano tells Meursault why he bought his dog in the first place. That story made me so sad it was good to know the backstory. The rest of the book has very little emotion and that story is a nice change of pace and topic. That chapter ends with my favorite quote from the whole book so far. Salamano says, “I hope the dogs don’t bark tonight. I always think it’s mine.” I’ve read this quote over and over again and I think I like it because it shows such longing and disappointment. I wonder if Raymond feels the same way about the woman he

4. What is your reaction to Jody’s comment, “Somebody got to think for women and chillun and chickens and cows”? What can you infer about the town based on their reaction to Jody’s treatment of Janie?

I did actually really like this book. I was not sure if I was going to enjoy it when the project was first assigned, but after reading for a while, I became really interested

Foster keeps the reader interested in reading. He broadened my horizon on the variety of fantastic novels that the world has to offer. He hints that there are millions of other things to discover about novels, secrets hidden in the code of words, and it is up to the readers to crack it. It was a great way to end a great novel.

Barb blames Janice for Anne's death to hurt her and make her feel guilty, not knowing that Janice already feels guilty but does not express it. However, Barb does not think about the challenges Janice might have endured but is angry because she is not the ‘ideal Janice’ that she had been expecting. Barb is too busy and eager wanting to express her anger towards Janice that she cannot relate to Janice’s problems and the struggles that she goes through. Barb’s lack of sympathy towards the unexpected changes in Janice’s life only results in a bigger gap in their relationship. Once Barb and Janice start talking, Barb is again angered by Janice’s quietness and her unwillingness to strengthen their relationship. However, she does not make an effort herself to understand why. Barb says to Janice: “You told us the facts. I don’t know one damn thing about you, the person” (36). Barb is annoyed and frustrated by Janice keeping to herself, she cannot understand her. Barb wants a strong relationship with her as sisters. For Janice, the sister relationship is too difficult and would rather prefer being friends. However, Barb does not acknowledge or accept Janice’s different views but expects Janice to want the same.

What if Janice can’t

From the tone of Mick’s voice, the alcohol acts a sedative to numb the pain from his past. This motive for drinking is also evident through Lisa’s brother, Jimmy, after he loses both his girlfriend, Adelaine, and his goal in becoming an Olympic swimmer.

Removed from a family environment and placed in a reformation school, individuals return not only emotionally and psychologically scarred, but also unable to reestablish their own functional family. Tab confesses to Lisa that she wishes she had a mother like hers, saying, “You’re lucky. You’re really lucky that your dad was too young to go to rez school. [...] Just Mick and my mum went and it fucked them up” (Robinson 254). Trudy’s sister Kate also notes that Trudy “thinks Mother’s dirt, while she goes out and parties and treats Tab worse than what she blames Mother for” (Robinson 285).

My reflections on the orginization of the novel ended with me loving how the book came together. Alex started off as a normal teenager that does normal teenage activities , but then in a blink of a eye his

My favorite part of the book is when the storyline begins to unravel. The characters learn the depths of the powers they posses and how they can learn to control them for a greater effect.
