Grunnings In The Potter

After a long day of pondering who the murderer was, Officer Darren decided to go out for a drink at the local pub. He saw Mr. Craill across the bar, and watched as he ate a huge meal consisting of a hamburger, fries, beers, steak, and mashed potatoes. It was quite peculiar that Mr. Craill was able to afford such a meal, because he did only have a part time job at a small town burger joint. Several things seemed suspicious that day about Mr. Craill, especially the fact that the gate that separated Craill’s yard from Dorothy’s yard was open along with Craill and Dorothy’s back

Although thanks to Andy’s family, things for the Duvitches changed for the better. Andy’s parents always showed care towards the Duvitches when they saw them no matter where they were. Their mother always remembered the rose she received from them. “But mother, remembering the old plotted rose tree, always had a friendly word and a smile for the young Duvitches when she saw them and a bone for Kasimar when he found the courage to venture across the road.”, “Father was the only man on Syringa Street who tipped his hat to sixteen-year-old Maria Duvitch”. Andy and Tom did a horrible thing to the Duvitches. “Without considering further, I dropped the cake of soap into the tub of fish”. This caused them to be invited over for dinner. “I’ve just seen Mr. Duvitch and he remarked that since Andy and Tom caught the fish,

1. Throughout the story suspense is aroused and maintained excellently. This is achieved by the character the author creates. Mr. Martin is characterized as a neat and cautious man, who never took a smoke or a drink in his life. Our suspense is aroused when the author states that it has been “a week to the day since Mr. Martin had decided to rub out Mrs. Ulgine Barrows”. This arouses our suspense because we are told Mr. Martin is planning to murder this woman. The suspense is maintained with Mr. Martin’s thoughts. We as an audience are given his thoughts through the use of the 3rd person omniscient point of view. His thoughts are mostly on the issue on his dislike of Mrs. Barrows. Because of this, he

The two younger boys, Jack Dawkins and Charles Bates were pocket-pickers, who stole handkerchiefs and gave them to Fagin to resell. Bill Sikes, Nancy’s lover, was a violent, abusive, bilious, fastidious, mendacious miscreant who hectored all those

Harry and Sally run into each other again in a bookstore five years later. They have coffee and talk about their previous relationships; Sally and Joe broke up because she wanted a family and he did not want to marry, and Harry's relationship ended when Helen fell in love with another man. They take a walk and decide to be friends. They have late-night phone conversations, go to dinner, and spend time together. Their dating experiences with others continue to inform their differing approaches to relationships and sex.

Familial relationships can change from good to bad remarkably easily, because of our personal investment in them. Think about any relationship between child and parent, it can flicker between fighting and laughing ten times a day! The novel demonstrates an extreme version of this, where ‘fighting’ has become the father’s abuse, and ‘laughing’ has become the safety the brothers feel in each other’s company. One example of this is near the end of the book, on the boat with Harry, Miles, and their dad. ‘Dad had Harry by the shoulders and he shook him like a rag doll. He dragged him out onto the deck. “These are protected waters, you idiot! You always fuck everything up. You always fuck everything!”’ The simile ‘shook him like a

Janie and Mrs. Mallard both lead distinctive lives due to their beliefs, environment and health. At an early age Janie married Logan Killicks because of her grandmother’s dying wish (Hurston, 15). Janie soon left Killicks and married Joes Starks a prosperous man who’s desire was to become rich and well known (Hurston, 29). Starks passed away and Janie married a younger man than her named Tea Cake (Hurston 116). Janie left her home town with Teacake and had the privilege to travel to new places and experience freedom, love and happiness (Hurston, 131). A hurricane arrived to the muck and Teacake was bitten by a dog with rabbis, Teacake tried to kill Janie, and in self-defense Janie killed Teacake. After Teacake’s death Janie was able to “pull

Yet another of Duror’s plans is put into action. He suggests that the cone-gatherers should be used as beaters. She asks if one of them is a ‘cripple’. Although Duror has an immense dislike toward Calum, he replies by saying “He’s a hunchback, but as agile as any monkey.” She rang Mr. Tulloch the overseer of the Ardmore men’s (cone-gatherers) work and he said it should be all right. As Duror was about to leave, the telephone rang. Mr Tulloch was explaining that Calum had certain sensibilities, especially towards the deer drive. Duror, when asked by Lady Runcie-Campbell if Calum and Neil were really needed, he insisted they were so Lady Runcie-Campbell told Mr Tulloch the same.

In Fifth Business, Robertson Davies attempts to illustrate the quest for self-identity through the life of the novel’s protagonist, Dunstable Ramsay.

While each proses a serve of justice and determination to do the right thing; the men approach the crime scene emotionless, indifferent and determined to go in and get to the bottom of the mystery as quick as possible, and push aside the little details. Little do they know that the things they are putting off could be very essential to their case? For example, in a conversation between the attorney and Mr. Hale who remarks, “..I said to Harry that I didn’t know as what his wife wanted made such a difference to John..” who was interrupted by the attorney in mid conversation and interjects, “Let’s talk about that later, Mr. Hale. I do want to talk about that, but tell now just what happened when you got to the house.” (1127) Meanwhile, while the men are out on their hunt for clues, the women stay in the kitchen to look through Mrs. Wright’s things and discuss a motive for why she killed her husband. Glaspell proposes a plan that by looking deeper into circumstances, you may in turn fully understand its true meaning; leaving no stone left unturned.

After Duddy graduates from school, he is lead further astray by his peers in his apprenticeship. The McGill boys whom Duddy works with at Rubin’s Hotel teach him to be ruthless by playing pranks on the young boy. Irwin, without much conscience himself, not only makes life miserable for Duddy, but also enlists his girlfriend Linda to cheat Duddy at his roulette game. Losing his entire summer savings, Duddy realizes the truth about Linda and says to her, "I thought you went out with me because you liked me. Boy, was I ever a sucker." (94) While working in Uncle Benjy’s dress factory, Thérèse encourages Duddy to follow Adèle into the washroom, thus getting the young girl into trouble. This sets in motion the part of Duddy’s apprenticeship that deals with women. Mr. Friar is right when he says Duddy is "callow…he hasn’t the first notion of how to treat a woman." (163) Yvette is crippled in that she is submissive like many of Duddy’s peers. She suffers verbal abuse from Duddy such as "you little fool" (98) and knows that he is using her to buy land, as he is underage. When Yvette mentions romance, Duddy laughs, "I don’t get it. Imagine guys getting married and tying themselves down to one single broad for a whole lifetime when there’s just so much
