Knapp's Development Model Of When Harry Met Sally

Tom is essentially dying, hence, his mother Vic wishes to provide him with the best quality of life she can, however, due to having recently immigrated to Australia, the family possess very little, and their current financial state is of extremely poor quality. Vic wishes she could provide Tom with everything he ever wanted, however is unable to do so, so she compensates with an immense amount of love and support, always encouraging and caring for Tom, ensuring he constantly feels special and appreciated. “Where is he? There you are. Ahhhhhh, well done. There’s my boy. Weren’t you marvellous? You were marvellous.” (Vic, act one, scene two). Harry portrays a similar love for Tom, always giving praise for his achievements and expressing great encouragement, however, Harry will go above and beyond in order to put a smile on Tom’s face. He always strives to give Tom something to look forward to, so he stops dwelling on the imminent future that includes the arrival of his death, and thus, allow Tom to focus on the positives that will come before this time. “I’ve looked forward to it. Ever since you suggested it I’ve wanted to go. That day in the hospital and you brought in the tent and put it up in the ward. I couldn't wait for summer to come.” (Tom, act two, scene one). Vic and Harry are exceptionally generous people, always putting the happiness of

She thinks that her prayers are answered when she first sees Joe Starks. In fact, she first sees him through a veil of her hair, and it is her long, luxurious hair that he is first attracted to. She thinks that he is "a

This evidently proves they know a lot about each other, and they might be two very exceptional friends. I say this due to the knowledge about one another and the similarities of both being gossipers and both not controlling to talk about others behind their backs, they could cope perfectly. All of this

Likewise the intercuts of footage also reveal in Sally and Brian a relationship which will never last. As their eyes meet across the room, Fosse deliberately pans back to show the extreme distance between the characters. And although their relationship is now sexual, Brian's echo of Sally's feminine self concept 'doesn't my body drive you wild with desire?' reflects a man as tentative about his sexuality as Sally is about anonymous domesticity.

Another way is the superficial relationship that Tom and Daisy have. They are hardly Communicable towards each other and the way this is described is obvious."Daisy and Tom were sitting opposite each other at the kitchen table with a plate of cold fried chicken between them and two bottles of ale. He was talking intently across the table at her hand and in his earnestness his hand had fallen upon and covered her own. Once in awhile she looked up at him and nodded in agreement. They weren't happy, and neither of them had touched the chicken or ale-and yet they weren't unhappy either" (152). Daisy and Tom have been married for five years and this happiness and unhappiness they do and don't feel deals primarily with the fact that their relationship is not based on love. They don't look as if they share a deep connection-a connection such as Daisy and Gatsby's.

They were friends, but the attraction was there. Neither of them wanted to admit it to the other because they were afraid the other didn't feel the same. This also fits the genre quite well. When they met this time, they both had come from long relationships that just ended.

And he doesn’t let her look out the window. And he doesn’t like her friends, so nobody gets to visit her unless he is working” (101). Sally is convincing herself that these actions are okay, or maybe even normal because she wants to be with him. Both of these quotes have the same feeling of hopelessness. Cisneros thinks that the abuse is wrong, but it is what it is.

If they never found the confidence to show each other nonverbally they probably would of never found out and /or talked to each

Now they had their friendship,

At the beginning of the year they were okay friends.They went to each others birthday parties.

Harry’s mother taught him better than to trust a stranger, but this one was different. This one made him feel safe. The idea scared him. Nonetheless, he took a seat in front of the mysterious stranger, and stared at him for a very long time.

Jumping out of my seat, I ran over to where Ron and Harry sat before anyone else—particularly a know-it-all brunette—could get to him. I knew that Parvati wouldn’t mind; she could easily partner up with Fay or one of the Puffs. Some of them, at least, weren’t so bad.

Louis was about to exit when he paused looking over his shoulder at Harry and smiled a smile he hadn’t known was in him. It was so long since he had pulled it from the attics of his addict mind he had almost forgotten such a smile existed.
