In both of the books, “Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher” and “A Painted House by John Grisham” there were one or more characters who portrayed signs of underachievement and became reconciled with obstacles throughout the book. In A Painted House, the readers are introduced to a very young man by the name of Luke Chandler, the protagonist in this story. Until that fall of 1952, Luke Chandler had never told a single lie or kept a single secret. During the book we are shown time and time again where Luke encounters things where he could potentially devastate lives and change his families and towns fortune forever if he were to ever speak about them. The Chandlers farm eighty acres of cotton that they rent, and when the cotton is ready they hire an abundance of Mexicans with an terrifying looking individual called “Cowboy” and also a family from the Ozarks also referred to as “hill people” that included a teenage girl, her …show more content…

A Painted House, it is a congenial, suspenseful read filled with racism, murder, and stories. This is an amazing novel based in 1952, but is it actually about a painted house? That is the title. Well, yes though it is more symbolic than simple. The protagonist, Luke Chandler (age 7) lives on a cotton farm in Black Oak with his parents and grandparents. The house they live in has never been painted. That means something in rural Arkansas.

The book and the movie of the Outsiders are two very different stories. The book has so much more detail then the movie. The movie is not the most detailed but it does get its point across. There are may similarities and also many differences between the two the book is by far more interesting and more detailed then the movie. I enjoyed the book a lot and the movies a lot but the movie was missing a lot.
Imagine being separated into two different groups based on what side of town one lives on and what one wears, then imagine having to act a certain way when one feels a whole different way. In the book The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, there are two groups, Socs and the Greasers, they have a rivalry with each other; the Greasers are known for having bad reputations that will never go anywhere in life and are poor, while the Socs can be disrespectful to the community, but an asset to the community the next day, and with a lot of money. In the novel, S.E. Hinton includes Robert Frost’s poem “Nothing Gold Can Stay” to focus on the poem’s deeper meaning. When examining Robert Frost’s “Nothing Gold Can Stay” and S.E. Hinton’s The Outsiders, one can analyze the usage of color, lost of innocence, and identity change.

Greed - an emotion that every person experiences regardless of if they have a good conscious or not. According to the Merriam Webster dictionary, greed is “a selfish and excessive desire for more of something (such as money) than is needed.” When comparing the “Man Who Sold the World” category to Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, the most obvious similarity between the two is the greed that characters within the text have. “The Right Kind of House”, “The Killers” (found within the “Man Who Sold the World Category”), and Fahrenheit 451 share a common theme. All three of these texts clearly present that greed is eventually followed with ruinous consequences.
John Grady Cole, the last in a long line of west Texas ranchers, is, at sixteen, poised on the sorrowful, painful edge of manhood. When he realizes the only life he has ever known is disappearing into the past and that cowboys are as doomed as the Comanche who came before them, he leaves on a dangerous and harrowing journey into the beautiful and utterly foreign world that is Mexico. In the guise of a classic Western, All the Pretty Horses is at its heart a lyrical and elegiac coming-of-age story about love, friendship, and loyalty that will leave John Grady, and the reader, changed forever. When his mother decides to sell the cattle ranch he has grown up working, John Grady Cole and his friend Lacey Rawlins
Appreciation for what one has can take that person a long way, especially if they do not have much to appreciate. Throughout the memoir, The Glass Castle, the reader learns that the novel is centralized around three base ideas. These three ideas follow the outline of how one should always make realistic promises, how the loss of innocence can affect the way one lives their lives, and how self-reliance and independence can take someone far in life. The memoir sets the themes out with intricate series of events that makes these themes inarguable, from fire fights in the street with the local thug, to lying about your age to get a job to ensure food stays on the table while your parents are away. In the end it all becomes relevant to the central
The Outsiders book and movie are the same but also very different to. These are some of the similarities I saw in the movie and book. It generally goes across the same idea/lesson that we are all the same rich,poor, or average. And that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, like some greasers are mean but some are nice, and how some socs are mean and some are nice. Also in the movie and the book they also both explain how johnny’s home life was harsh and brutal were no one in the home cared or loved for him. Also that Pony,Darry, and Soda were living them three, because of their parents dying in a car crash suddenly. It also shows that the greaser are like family nothing can break them apart, and they trust each other with their lives and love and care for them more than some of their own parents care for them. It also talks about in the movie and book that Johnny killed Bob
The movie, Whip It is set in the rural town of Bodean, Texas and features the life of the Cavendar family, a

First of all, he showed up very late. He did this because he claimed if she waited, she obviously wanted to have sex with him. This is the craziest, and most demoralizing statement. Since he assumed she was there just for the sex, he began to treat Hannah disrespectfully. Hannah states, “Below the table, my fingers were fighting to pry your fingers off.
2. Looking at the structure of the dialogue and story, analyze how two (or three) of the texts we have discussed from the External Links/Short Stories) use characters talking over one another interrupting each other to suggest ambiguity. Explore the possible meanings of what they say and how the mechanics the writers use affect what the readers may think. Looking at the structure of the dialogue of the two stories: “House on Mango Street” by Sandra Cisneros, and “Hills Like White Elephants” by Ernest Hemingway, one can see that there are many characters displaying conflicting and indecisive conversations throughout the text representing ambiguity in the stories. The possible meanings of what the characters are trying to say is complicated in both their language and actions.
