The book uses fictional documents, such as book excerpts, news reports, and hearing transcripts, to frame the story of Carietta "Carrie" White, a 17-year-old girl from Chamberlain, Maine. Carrie's mother, Margaret, a fanatical Christian fundamentalist, has a vindictive and unstable personality, and over the years has ruled Carrie with an iron rod and repeated threats of damnation, as well as occasional physical abuse. Carrie does not fare much better at her school where her frumpy looks, lack of friends and lack of popularity with boys make her the butt of ridicule, embarrassment, and public humiliation by her fellow teenage peers.

Compared to many writers, Faulkner’s sentence structure is long and drawn out, making the story appear more complicated. The novel’s themes and storylines are relatively simple, but the intricate writing makes the narrative difficult to understand. A wise, old

In this poem the theme is about being a 2nd generation immigrant, and so for her that is Japanese-American. The speaker for this poem is obviously a young daughter; she speaks of how her father says “Where we’re going they won’t grow.” (Okita 3-4) when trying to explain they’re being moved away. The tone throughout this whole poem is sad. The daughter talks about her friend Denise and how before the daughter left Denise was mean at school. The daughter still gives Denise a pack of tomato seeds and says “Told her when the first tomato ripened she’d miss me” (Okita 23-25). The setting of this poem is in the United States during World War II. This was a time when all Japanese-Americans were being sent away to internment camps and that is where the father was talking about when he told his daughter her tomato seeds wouldn’t grow (Okita4-5). The diction in this piece of work uses food references to make a point on how the daughter feels about feeling more American than Japanese. She states “I have always felt funny using chopsticks and my favorite food is hot dogs” as if to say this feels more normal than being grouped as just Japanese (Okita

For this summer reading, I chose to read Fried Green Tomatoes at The Whistle Stop Cafe by Fannie Flag. The book is set in Alabama; it is mostly set in the early 1900s to the late 1980s. While in the early 1920s, this was the time of the Great Depression, a time where poverty and racism were well known. The story is told in both present, from the 1920’s - 1940’s, when the events were occurring, and past tense, when Ninny Threadgoode retold the events to Evelyn Couch, in the 1980’s.

“Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.” This famous line, by Abraham Lincoln, highlights the fact that everyone is of equal value. On the other end of the spectrum is the idea of discrimination. Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café was written by Fannie Flagg, a well-known American author. This novel takes place in the Deep South and switches back and forth between the 1980s and the early 20th century, when discrimination was rampant. Discrimination has two main definitions. Firstly it is defined as “the ability to recognize the difference between things that are of good quality and those that are not” (Webster). A second definition is “the practice of unfairly treating a person or group of people differently from other people or groups of people” (Webster). The latter

This relationship implores the reader to frame the world as Frankie does because doing so allows one to improve his/her life. The fact that the overarching theme of the passage is love allows one to conclude that the author has achieved the goals of Faulkner’s mission because the reader can endure and prevail by following McCourt’s message.

There are many themes within Flannery O’Connor’s short story “Good Country People”. Religion is definitely one of the more prominent themes that the story holds. Like most of O’Connor’s works, it plays a big part in the actions or characteristics of the main characters. This is all on the surface however. The more important and less accentuated theme is the various facades the characters create for themselves. These facades prevent them from facing their true “grotesque” selves. These facades also hide their weaknesses that they have no wish to face ort just can’t understand. People must be comfortable with every aspect of themselves, because certain people, who in this story
