I’ll FLY AWAY is highly creative and the imagination shines. The idea of a baby falling to earth, having the ability to fly, and being raised by human feels refreshing and unique. There’s a lot to really like about this script from the delightful and colorful characters to the visual storytelling. The plot engages from the opening to the end. The tone nicely blends humor with drama. There are several worthy goals for the protagonist, Wonder Boy: hide his secret, become a famous magician, save his parents farm, and eventually return home. The stakes are high. The script uses a flashback structure to tell the story. The first act does a terrific job of setting up Wonder Boy’s ordinary world. The idea of him being found by human parents and raised as their own is believable. The idea that he can float is fun and amusing. The idea of him watching Murrison, who comes out of the television, is a delight. There are many smart story choices such as a bully learning Wonder Boy’s secret, Wonder Boy seeing Tommy’s “horns” and their childhood rivalry spanning years into adulthood over the same woman. The need to save his human parents’ farm raises the stakes. The story is moved forward by his desire to become a professional magician and he teams up with Margaret. There’s a great midpoint when “angry Tommy” reveals Wonder Boy’s secret, yet no one believes him. There’s a ticking clock tension that his true identity will be discovered. However, there are still some areas
It’s a unique story. The story is well-developed. It includes a lot of details which are all important for the end of the story. Despite one major plottwist, it is fairly predictable. It’s still a touching story.
Also Julian wants to be the popular one and to be the hero, but I think he's fine just the way he is. Also every day he finds new experiences and sometimes forgets about his childhood thoughts. And in the story, Julian and his brothers have to stay out of trouble, protect themselves, and to problem solve.
I would recommend this book to any teen. It is a great sequal to the Outsiders and has a lot of action in it. It has the excitement of gangs but there is also a lesson to be learned in the story as well. It does not set a good example for kids but it is exciting to read about. Over all I
The plot is great, it has a lot of action, and suspense. I also like the way Hinton describes the characters in detail, and makes you feel like you can actually see the character when she describes them. I would definitely recommend the teachers to keep teaching it because the novel has a good moral to it. It teaches you to not judge anyone immediately, how violence only makes things worse, and how to solve your problems. My favorite character is Johnny because he reminds me of myself. He sacrificed his life to save the children trapped in the church, and he stood up for Ponyboy and himself when he stabbed Bob. The symbols and allusions in the book are meaningful like when Johnny tells Ponyboy to stay gold right before he dies. It’s a reference to Robert Frost’s Nothing Gold Can
First off, the protagonist, Greg, is a very sarcastic character. For example, “well, this will be great” (17). This is important because it shows that Greg is a sarcastic protagonist. This is also important because it makes people like the protagonist more in a funny way. For example, “mom just wouldn’t stop bringing up these stupid games” (63). This is important because it shows the protagonist usually has a funny side to his phrases. This is also important because it shows the protagonist being funny as written out by the author. The main protagonist Greg is a very sarcastic character.
The first reason Ponyboy is a hero in The Outsiders is because he was empathetic to others. When Johnny murdered Bob, he had to run away to avoid getting captured by the Cops, but Ponyboy didn’t. Yet he ran away with Johnny anyway because he was empathetic to him. It must be hard leaving everything you’ve liked or known to help your friend endure the inevitable hardships coming. Ponyboy was also empathetic to Cherry when she was struggling with destiny. “I started to turn and walk away, but something in her eyes made me stop. I was ashamed.” (129) Ponyboy could have left her bawling, but instead he is empathetic to her and tries to cheer her up with the correlative traits that they share. “‘Hey’ I said suddenly, ‘Can you see the sunset real good from the west side?’ She blinked, startled, then smiled. ‘Real good.’ ‘You can see it good from the east side too’ I said.” (129-130) he is using the consubstantial trait of them looking at sunsets to cheer them both up. Ponyboy is exemplifying empathy throughout the novel to others, which is a great quality in a hero.
The film has a clever dialogue which resonated with young movie lover that found it to be exciting and
For instance, he says “What else a man got ‘cepting what he can pass on to his son, or his daughter, if she be his oldest?” To Greg that could make him realize why his dad does what he does. I feel that the talk about treasure made Greg realize how great his dad is. Now Greg Ridley,he seemed a little unprioritized during the beginning of the story. On page 94,paragraph 3 it says how his grades on the next report card determined if he could play basketball for Scorpions but the receivement of a letter from his principal about his poor math grade due to low studying cut his chances short.But toward the end of the story he gets some words of wisdom from Lemon Brown about a parents treasure and how they can pass it on to their children. Last but not least,Greg’s dad.His dad seemed very hard on Greg & I feel that he was being considerate towards Greg.In paragraph 3,it says “he had asked his father the week
First, it gives great examples of content and does a great job of giving that content a fantastic voice with the use of the protagonist, Mark watney. He gives a snarky, raised voice in a lot of situations, but he can switch
The Great Gatsby, written by F. Scott Fitzgerald introduces to the audience, a man of mystery and charm, Jay Gatsby. This iconic man had prosperous dreams that have only come back to do nothing but run farther away from him. Gatsby continually created a path for himself that brought him steps backward from achieving so, while ironically, he only became the iconic man he is by the path he did create in the first place; therefore, was a constant feeling of emptiness that his materialistic world cannot fulfill. The elusiveness that he created, destined him to become the tragic hero because Gatsby always repudiated the past being gone that not only was he stuck with his pipe dream, but also stuck not being able to move on.
In the beginning of the story, I thought it was boring. However, throughout the story, I started to like it. I really liked the book The Outsiders because of the way it impacted me. It impacted me because of the theme of this story and how Ponyboy matured throughout the story.
Evaluation: Although the dialect of some of the characters takes some getting use to, I enjoy this book. This is an American classic, filled with humor but critical of people who can be so civilized and so cruel at the same time. It is a boy’s adventurous coming of age that celebrates the individual spirit of America and the romantic vision of innocence and virtue in nature.
Due to the popularity of the book, many people commented on it and so there are many different ideas, which can be view differently according to the readers' own judgement. " The boy is after all doing what is required of human being to do: he is growing up, going away, making
I enjoyed this film because it has a real story behind it and is something I
What did you like about this script? I enjoyed the two main protagonists, Jenny and Libby. Their characters were fleshed out well and their dynamic with each other always seemed balanced. The writer did a great job depicting the differences in each of their inner and outer objectives without letting it slug down the narrative progression. Jenny and Libby have their own lives separate from each other, but it does not get in the way of their connection.
