Irene And Clare Compare And Contrast

The author specifically chose these two characters, which have different race because the idea of friendship is more emphasized in comparison if Blacky was friends with a person of the same race. An example in the film showing the power of the bond of friendship was when Blacky was selected to be the ‘ruck’ for the team and Dumby was the only person in the football team that supported Blacky: “You’ll be all right Blacky, good on ya.” This shows the strong bond of the friendship between Dumby and Blacky as Dumby encourages Blacky even though his task as being the ‘first ruck’ in the football team seems almost impossible. An example in the film showing the bond of friendship is through the romantic relationship between Blacky and Clarence. Due to Dumby’s passion for football, sport has allowed Dumby’s sister Clarence and Blacky to meet, and build up their relationship despite their different race. Their deep romantic relationship can be shown in the close–up scene where Clarence and Blacky were under the jetty. The director intentionally placed the light at the side of their faces when Clarence and Blacky stared at each other. This emphasizes their facial expressions and their eyes to reinforce romantic atmosphere. However, this love would not have existed if Blacky had not thought rationally and changed some of the Australian rules.

Gruwell taught her class about the Holocaust, the genocide of Jews. While learning about this major event in class the students were able to see how another person’s hatred affected someone’s life.

A similarity is that both authors are in a battle of whether or not to express who they are. In “White Lies” Trethewey uses her advantage of being mixed to decide which side she wants people to see. The author uses vivid imagery to paint a picture of racism and moral dilemmas in the South in the late twentieth century through her personal experierence. While in “Theme for English B”, Langston knows that there is no way possible for him to hide that he is black, unlike Trethewey, so he decides to be proud of whom he is. Langston knows that he lives in a double standard world. He realizes that his “black” standard may not meet the “white” standard of his teacher or fellow students. The individuality of the authors played a major role in how they express their differences. Langston seems to be more accepting of the fact that he is different and accepts that. Trethewey lies about who she is and keeps silent to the fact that she is black.
