Comparing Beauty And Courage In The Adventures Of Dorothy And Dorothy's Contrivants

In “A Certain Lady” by Dorothy Parker, the speaker is a lady who has a love interest that is unaware of her feelings. This speaker modifies her behavior and appearance in an attempt to show the man how she feels about him, but her efforts go unnoticed. This poem supports the findings of many studies, which suggests that men and women communicate differently. This is especially true when there is already a friendship established. Women tend to try to give subtle hints as their feelings change from friendship to love, while men tend to be blunt about expressing the change. Women will alter the way she acts, dress, speak and more in an attempt to get out of the friend zone. Although a man may notice the changes, he may not necessarily

Next, the characters Louise Mallard and Emily Grierson are similar is their own progress throughout the two different stories. At the start of both stories, the writers made it

The similarity and connection existing between the two stories is the point of view in the two essays. The stories are both written in the first person perspective and that

Judy garland who is purportedly named Dorothy dale in the move the wizard of Oz is the main protagonist in most of the Oz novels. Frank Baum created the fictional character who has been idolized in the American movie culture because of the character she has played in most movies, books, animations, games and on TV. At first she appeared in the novel the wonderful wizard of Oz which was created in 1900 and thereafter, she was able to reappear in most of the sequels showing her importance in various adaptations, notably, in the 1939 film named the wizard of Oz (Pfefferman, 2013). in the movie, the wizard of Oz, she acts as a young orphaned girl from one of the farms in Kansas which was owned by uncle henry and aunt Em. Life in the farm is considered to be composed of hard work and it provided little opportunity for Dorothy to have excitement in the farm. She is able to express her desires of exploring what was beyond Kansas through the use of a wishful song of what might be lying at the other end of the rainbow. One of the richest people in the town gets a permit of obtaining her dog, Toto, and she tries to save her life by running away. She changes her mind and decided to go back home when a tornado drops from the sky and everything changes radically in the movie.

Every character in The Wizard of Oz has a reason for going to Emerald city, each have the same reason but are all in search of something different. Their reasoning for going to the promise land, Emerald city, is to find the Great Wizard, Oz. Although they are all on a journey for Emerald city and Oz, what they are in search of is very different as is each character. Through Archetypal Theory it is shown that each character's reason for setting out on the journey to Emerald city distinguishes their type of character. Their journey is to find the promised land. Although they are not aware, the characters slowly gain what they originally set out to acquire throughout their journey, rather than at their destination. Although the journey seems as easy as following the yellow brick road, there are many obstacles the characters; the Scarecrow, Tin Woodman and the Cowardly Lion, must face throughout this novel. Through stages along their journey, the characters are all thrown into pivotal positions that they do not realize the importance of. In turn, this results in a drastic development of their characteristics. In these stages they are put in situations, which allows them to grow and adapt to what they are seeking on their journey, are what allows them to earn what they were seeking. Each character is in search for Oz so he may grant them one wish for whatever they desire, for the Scarecrow;

Another similarity between these two stories is that both of the characters have husbands who take

In To Kill a Mockingbird, one of Atticus Finch’s most significant qualities, courage, impacts the story. Throughout the book, Harper Lee portrays courage as doing something out of your comfort zone, for the greater good or a good cause. The first example shows how Atticus’s quality of courage impacts the story. Atticus is sitting in front of the jail cell where Tom Robinson, the African-American man he is defending, is being kept. When Mr. Cunningham and the rest of his followers confront Atticus, he stays strong, keeps his ground and doesn’t let anything happen to Tom. The interaction starts with Mr. Cunningham approaching Atticus, “He in there, Mr. Finch? He is, and he’s asleep. Don’t wake him up. In obedience to my father. There followed what I later realized was a sickeningly comic aspect of an unfunny situation: the men talked in near-whispers. You know what we want. Get Aside from the door, Mr. Finch. You can turn around and go home, Walter. Heck Tate’s around somewhere.”(171-172) Atticus stops Mr. Cunningham and his men from harming Tom before his trial. It took courage to stand up to men who are usually cordial with him resulting in Tom not being killed and allowing the trial to continue. In the second example, it shows how Atticus’s actions reflect what how Harper Lee believes courage looks like in everybody. Atticus is brought to a tough decision in whether or whether not to defend Tom Robinson. When Scout asks him about the case and why he decided

It is untroubling to find the flaws in people. Often times it is only the imperfections that we remember and judge people off of. This is just a part of human nature. However it is more healthy to focus on the good in people; Find the positives rather than the negatives of a person's character and consider them for those qualities. In the book, The Glass Castle, Jeannette Walls emphasizes the poor qualities in her parents. Even though they were not generally good parents, they were not all bad and there are many redeeming qualities that can be seen throughout the memoir. Jeanette's father, Rex Walls, is able to hold on to her love for him through his redeeming qualities. Despite her father's lack of responsibility and inability to protect his

Flowers mostly look pretty that doesn’t cause harm.They mostly are a symbol represent love. But some of them when you stand closer and sniff, you probably will die.For example like the Mountain Laurel, Veratrum, and Ragwort.They are bad for people but people still like how the way of it looks and don’t care about anything else.Through To Kill A Mockingbird it displays how part of the people have hope but most of them don't with the connection of blacks are treated badly and people are uneducated by the town of Macomb in the early 1930s.In another way to said, most of the people in the town are waiting to the pathway to heaven. To kill a mockingbird should teach at school because it teaches important moral lessons such as seeing the good even in the bad, the importance of treating everyone equally and the

Many of the characters in “The Wizard of Ozz” are character foils to Dorothy. A character foil is another character that highlights the characteristics of the main character. The scarecrow for example is a character foil that highlight Dorothy's traits. A dilemma the scarecrow faces is not having a brain. Although Dorothy has the ability to think, the character foil of the scarecrow reveals that dorothy believes others around her do not think. She may believe the people around her do not think when Mrs. Gulch takes Toto or when her family does not defend her. Dorothy also meets the cowardly lion on her journey which is also a character foil. The cowardly lion reveals how Dorothy thinks about the people around her. This character foil reveals

In The Wizard of Oz, the ordinary world and the beginning of the adventure are presented with stunning visual effects. Dorothy, the protagonist, is shown struggling in her ordinary world. She is confronted by the mean neighbor Miss Gulch who wants to take away Dorothy’s dog Toto and give him to the animal control authorities because of Toto’s bad behavior. Dorothy reacts childishly with a temper tantrum, begging her Uncle Henry and Aunt Em not to let Miss Gulch have her way. She confronts Miss Gulch when she tries to take Toto, saying, “You wicked old witch! Uncle Henry, Auntie Em, don't let 'em take Toto! Don't let her take him -- please!” (The Wizard of Oz). In a fit of temper, Dorothy decides to run away because she thinks that it is the only way she can protect her dog from Miss Gulch. The plot picks up the story of Dorothy’s life at a rather bleak point. Dorothy is portrayed as powerless and directionless and she does not appreciate the gifts she has in her family and life. Her character flaws and areas of growth are clear from such behavior. She seeks to be the leader of her own life but she lets temper get in the way of her enacting effective change. Furthermore, in her decision to run away Dorothy shows that she does not appreciate those who love her or the blessings of her loving home.

In this book by Dorothy and Thomas Hoobler there are one hundred eighty-two pages which also includes the prologue, given, and the author's notes but in reality it isn’t that long just a single page. It took me about an hour to two hours to read it. I learned some facts about Japanese culture from the 1700’s: the were geishas which entertained men not in a inappropriate way at least not in the book but entertainment in songs, stories, and such. I also learned more about the main character Seikei and how he came to be the Judge’s son which is expected when you read a book that was made after this one which is what I did when I read “The sword that cut the burning grass.” Also it taught me to look for alternate solutions to problems and that

It would be reasonable to begin this essay by comparing the protagonists of both novels, and drawing

Like Alice, Dorothy follows society’s rules of conduct to the utmost of her ability; there are even times when she goes out of her way to make sure that she, as well as the characters that she is responsible for, acts properly. This is clearly illustrated when she encounters Billina after her fight with a rooster in Princess Langwidere’s chicken-yard: “‘I don’t approve of this, at all,’ she said, carrying Billina away toward the palace. ‘It isn’t a good thing for you to associate with those common chickens. They would soon spoil your good manners, and you wouldn’t be respectable any more’” (90-91).

When the same person features in the literature of two different stories written by the same author, they often show differences between behavior and description.
