I think Jack and Ellen should run away and not play in the games. Jack and Ellen are in love with each other. The are both really close throughout this whole book. Jack also kissed Ellen two times in one night. Plus he missed her all of summer break. Ellen and Jack don’t want to fight one another. I know this because Jack goes to Ellen's room and they talk about it. She doesn’t want to fight Jack but she also doesn't want to run and get hurt anymore. They are both still young and they have there whole lives ahead of them. No one needs to die. Jack and Ellen are only sixteen years old. Ellen has been running her whole life. She should have a family like Jack but she doesn’t because she was forced to fight. Along with Jack and Ellen not

John Jurgensen’s article asks us an interesting question: how many TV series can our brains take? As television series expand to grandiose levels, it gets harder to follow what is happening: who people are, and what their place in the overall story is hard to follow for a large number of viewers. Jurgensen attempts to address this within his article, and it has some interesting points.
Jack explicitly attempts to overthrow Ralph as chief. Although Ralph successfully defends himself against Jack 's attack by calling the other boys ' attention to Jack 's shortsightedness and cowardice, Jack is resolved that he will take control. Jack 's refusal to accept the other boys ' decision serves as a reminder that Jack is still a child who considers life on the island as a game; he assumes the position that, if he cannot set the rules of the game, he refuses to play at all. This decision provokes the subsequent events of the chapter, which focus on Jack 's rejection not only of Ralph 's authority but of the entire pseudo-democracy on the island that had conferred authority on
Jack’s main goal wasn’t to get the boys rescued, it was to get the boys fed. All Jack wanted to boys to do was hunt. The group finally decided to put Jack in charge of hunting, since he had a strong opinion about it. Jack also felt that their should be no rules set on the island. Without rules, Jack wanted to have all the power and control over the boys. When Jack wasn’t voted leader, he became more and more vicious throughout the book toward the other boys. Jack wanted to feel like he had authority and control, and when he didn’t he ended up being very mean to the
With leaving the men, Jack created a space for him to find himself and to be who he has always wanted to be. Jack was so overworked while helping the men that he couldn’t function through life normally. Jack did his time with the men, he was too stressed to help efficiently, and he deserves the option to chase
Heckling has transformed Emma through a new set of social values, a new medium and a different context. She shows the changed ideologies and values by transforming the provincial setting of Highbury and upper class (gentry) systems whereby wealth, property and status govern strict codes of behaviour and social relationships to a microcosm of modern Beverly Hills. In Emma, marriage is a social custom and expectation acting as a medium for security, financial assets, wealth and social status. Class systems made social interaction and experience limited with rank giving rise to insensitive, arrogant and pompous individuals like Emma and Cher.
Holden shares many similarities with the character in this song. They are both told from the point of view of people who are both haunted, and tortured by their own thoughts and experiences. They both feel like they don't belong because they don’t fit the idea of “normal” in society. “Stradlater wasn't hardly listening. He was combing his gorgeous locks. (pg.32)” Holden is masking his feelings of rejection by believing that Stradlater is too narcissistic to
The prompt I chose for this assignment is to rewrite a chapter from a different character’s point of view. I chose to do this prompt because rewriting chapter four in Johnny’s point of view would give a better description before the events that occur after. This chapter is the start of when Johnny and Pony had run away to the old church. It is also the start of when their worlds are completely changed. This chapter starts things that have many significant meanings throughout the book. It started a chain of events that shaped The Outsiders.
Once Jack becomes obsessed with his desire for power, he becomes uncivilized and immoral. This is conveyed when Jack brutally shouts to the littluns, it would “serve you right if something did get you” (83). Jack used his power in this situation to convince the littluns that they would be safe from the beast if they followed him. If Jack would have been less focused on power, and acted more as a true leader he would have comforted the young boys rather than screamed at them. In like manner, Jack uses his control to order the others to roll the boulder at Piggy. Jack could have invited Piggy into his shelter, but instead orders his death. Jack does this because of the rivalry that grew between the two of them. The rivalry caused Jack to do a corrupt act, all in the name of beating Piggy. If Jack could have gained control of this corruption, he would have realized that he could have used his power to save a life instead of taking one. Finally, Jack forces the group to divide at a time when they need to unite. Since Jack wanted to have power and not be under the rule of anyone else, he left the group and convinced others to side with him. Instead of staying and and assisting the group, he dissociates with them which consequently leads to even more of a haywire society. If Jack was able to gain control of his desire for power, and
In The Outsiders by S.E Hinton, there are two social groups: the Greasers and the Socs. The Socs are the more popular, and rich kids, and the Greasers are the poorer and less popular kids. Throughout the book, the Socs treat the Greasers horribly. Because of these two social classes, the protagonist, Ponyboy, and his friends, who are all greasers, feel like outsiders. I believe that everyone has, at one point in their life, felt like an outsider.
Then I wondered why would Jack be trying to protect Lori Chang and luckily this was also brought up in our discussion. Reading the story, the first time, I didn’t pay much attention to Jacks
Also, Jack forgets about the fire and rescue and this prolongs their stay on the island. This goes to show that the lack of adult authority trumps Jack's previous morals of caring for others. The best thing for the boys is to get back to civilization, but Jack takes that away from them when he allows external forces to control and change his character. In addition, Jack wants to have rules in order to keep them all in line. “ 'We'll have rules!'
To Kill a Mockingbird barely held my interest in part 1. I believe part 1 contained lots of facts and little action. The story in part 1 contained background knowledge of the town, families and characters. It is necessary to know all of that information, however background knowledge for 150 pages really discourages me from wanting to continue reading a book. I personally like a storyline that is presented in a series of books. While reading a series of books you are able to learn background, character and setting information as the series continues.
The play, To Kill a Mockingbird , by Christopher Sergel, at The Greenbrier Valley Theater in Lewisburg, is an excellent play because the writer really showed what it was like back in the 1930’s. The main idea in this play was to show what things were like back in the peak days of racism and prejudice. This play was based on the book written by Harper Lee in 1960. Some themes of this book include conflict between good and evil, racism and prejudice, and bravery.
Firstly, it is certainly obvious and definitely prominent how the widow's character is being unfairly justified as a woman. Much like other stories, she is this widowed woman with no husband to support a child who will end up being their only chance of surviving despite his age and maturity. "‘Cheer up, mother, I'll go and get work somewhere'" (Jacobs 1). Even
