Examples Of Dialectical Journal For The Bass And Sheila Mant

“The Bass, the River, and Sheila Mant,” by W. D. Wetherell, is an initiation story in which the symbols of fishing and Sheila Mant illustrate how the character of the narrator transforms from youth and innocence to sophistication and maturity. At age fourteen, it is typical for a boy such as the narrator to be beginning this transformation. Being innocent and naïve in a sense, the fourteen year old narrator gets an enormous crush on a seventeen year old girl named Sheila Mant and comes to believe she is what he loves most in life. For him, Sheila is a symbol of the maturity and sophistication he will eventually become a

“He knew that he was a fierce fighter, but that year had been enough to break the heart of a lion,” (Achebe 22). (Personification, Characterization)

December 14, 1924 was a bright, beautiful winter morning, the sky a vibrant blue without a cloud roaming around. The previous night, a heavy snowfall had powdered and blanketed the ground. Children all around town were enjoying playing, skipping, and laughing in the city of Paris, France.

Paragraph 1 tone : He seems nervous about this trip He says ,“We’ve all been up since midnight, starting our predive checks after a couple of restless hours of sleep, and the whole team is running on adrenaline. These are the roughest conditions I’ve dived in so far on the expedition” The way he says that they’ve been up the whole night doing checks without sleep and how this is one of the roughest conditions he has dived in so far just gives the sense of nervousness if he will make the challenge.

1) “They carried the soldier’s greatest fear, which was the fear of blushing. Men killed, and died, because they were embarrassed not to. It was what had brought them to the war in the first place, nothing positive, no dreams of glory or honor, just to avoid the blush of dishonor. They died so as not to die of embarrassment” (O’Brien 20).

1. "When the fog clears to where I can see, I'm sitting in the day room. They didn't take me to the shock shop this time. I remember they took me out of the shaving room and locked me in seclusion" (Kesey 9).

Arnetta seems like she would be the strongest because throughout the story she tries to take a sort of command within the group. She seems like the strongest by the way she acts, but in all reality she is acting weak. She uses threats, insults, and demands as a way of seeming strong. In page 282 paragraph 3 Arnetta would say to a boy as an insult,

The quote is important because the colors Jean see’s are look at differently from seeing differences in people. Jean does not see a difference between whites and black’s. “She was color blind.” (Narrator, 122) The word refers herself due to Atticus raising Jean to treat everyone equally. My opinion about the quote is that the color are referred to how she was raised and see’s a different point of view of people. In the end, Jean Louise sees the truth about herself and her opinions about her father and the world around her.

“To live Anywhere in the and be against equality is like living in Alaska and being against snow.”-William Faulkner. This quote means that it is impossible to live in this era and be against equality because it is so supported and so may people are pro equality it is hard to explain against it. Today by just looking in the News you will see all the hate people will give you if you dare to hate on other races. sadly back then it was accepted to hate blacks or other races but luckily today it is a sin to hate on others who don't look like you.

Wetherell’s short story “The Bass, the River, and Sheila Mant” his first step toward self-awareness goes in a different direction than Gene’s. He is first confronted by an inner conflict that is spawned when he is given an ultimatum of choosing between his beloved hobby, fishing, and his crush, Sheila Mant. He describes the dilemma as feeling that he “would be torn apart between longings, split in half” (Wetherell 25), and even after he cuts the line and chooses Sheila over the bass he feels “a sick, nauseous feeling in [his] stomach” (25) because of it. Though he ultimately decides to pursue Sheila in the moment, it is clear that the bass makes a much more profound impact on him, since he clearly states that “Before the month was over, the spell she cast over [him] was gone, but the memory of that lost bass haunted [him] all summer and haunts [him] still.” (26) He continues to an even more important insight that “There would be other Sheila Mants in [his] life, other fish” (26) and explains that he has never made that mistake again and surely never will. Dissimilarly to Gene, it is not negative feelings that the boy recognizes to be toward Sheila, but simply that his love for fishing is where his passion truly

I am able to personally connect with the boy in the story; both having a hard decision to make and making the wrong choice. In the book, the boy had two things he strongly wanted but he could only choose one. The two choices were between catching the fish or having the girl. The boy ended up choosing the girl because he thought it would be worth his time. For me, I had to decide between playing in the soccer game or sitting out of the game. The reason I had to decide this was because I got injured before the game. I wanted to play the game because I really wanted to score more goals. The other reason why I wanted to play in the game was because most of the team said that they needed me. The last reason why I wanted to play in the game was
