Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme Comparison

When Pam returns to the group from her retreat, the mood immediately becomes darker when she sees Philip in her “cozy” group. She does not feel comfortable having him in the group because he had caused her so much pain in the past. Julius found it hard to find “forgiveness” for Philip, but he tried to identify with him to try to understand why he would have done the things he did. Tony sided with Pam and questioned some of Philip’s statements, whereas Rebecca defended Philip against Tony’s “attacks”. Stuart also seemed to protect Philip against Tony’s attacks. He reminded Tony that he hadn’t seemed sorry for his sexual assault charges in the past. At the end of this confrontational chapter, Pam behaved towards Philip as if he were invisible. Farther on into the “role changes”, Pam revealed that she felt defiled that Philip was a part of her group. He was also, in a way, taking away her role as the intellectual of the group. In order to handle these various changes, Julius tries to understand where each person is coming from, whether it is Pam, Philip, Tony, etc. Additionally, he made sure that each group member voiced what

In the film “Mean Girls” there were many types of peer relationships expressed. Friendships are described as a reciprocal liking, trust, and loyalty between all participating dyadic parties. An example in the film is the relationship that Damian and Janis hold because they are loyal to each other and the liking is mutual. Peer acceptance is to the degree one is liked by their peers. In the film Aaron Samuels is very much liked by his peers. Perceived popular is a child that is considered popular based on their peers’ perceptions. Regina George is a prime example of teenage girl perceived as popular. When students described Regina George in the film these type of comments were made, “Regina George is flawless”, “One time she punched me in the faced. It was awesome.”, and “she always looks fierce.” Cliques are polyadic social groups that are voluntary. A main clique in the movie is “The Plastics” which consists of Regina George, Gretchen Wieners, and Karen Smith. These forms of peer relationships are a lot more complex than just a group of friends, these relationships of dynamic in early adolescence.

He decided to hum the National Anthem out loud in class. Philip’s dad (Mr. Malloy) encouraged him even more to keep creating the disturbance, by telling him

I think I do agree with calling it King Philip’s perspective. Truthfully I believe that it was a colonist or the several colonists that said King Philip brought this up to them in a meeting.

Phillip, or as I like to call him, Phil, is actually pretty neutral for someone who calls himself a confederate. In fact, I think the only reason he calls himself that is so he won’t get brutally murdered. However, because he thinks of himself as one of the Souths, I cannot afford to trust him with my secret.

After the Hato was destroyed, Phillip woke up on a raft and saw Timothy, a black West Indian. Phillip describes Timothy on page 23 as, “He was ugly. His nose was flat and his face was broad; his head was a mass of wiry gray hair.” At first Phillip didn’t trust Timothy because of his racist beliefs. Phillip probably acquired these racist ideas from his mom who disliked black people. On page 67, Phillip fought with Timothy but then he realized that Timothy was trying to help him and they should be friends. Phillip finally realizes that everyone is equal and says on page 97, “I remember that ugly welted face. But now, in my memory, it did not seem ugly at all. It seemed only kind and strong.” This marks Phillips transformation from a racists to a tolerant person.

In between the middle and the end of the novel, Phillip was very angry and unsure about everything he had to do while being blind. Once Timothy passed, he realized why Timothy didn’t let him have it easy. An example is “At first I was angry at Timothy. I said to Stew Cat ‘ Why did he leave us here?” then it also says, “I buried Timothy, placing stones at the head of the grave to mark it.”

At the beginning of the novel Phillip can best be described as innocent. When Phillip was packing his bags in order to embark on a voyage to Northfolk, he stated, “So I packed, with her help, and said good-by to Henrik van Boven and the other boys, I told them we’d be gone just a short

Gaines puts in little sentences like that, little hints, that clue us in on how closed off Phillip was and how bad he made himself. Even if you don’t think someone will understand or can help, in his case especially, just talking it out with someone you care about can help. This finally becomes true in the end, after Phillip finds out that Robert X, or really Etienne, Phillip learns later, committed suicide before Phillip got the chance to make things right with him. Phillip argues that all he wanted to do was see his son and talk to his son and be a father to his son but never got the chance to. Phillip got so caught up in trying to be the best Reverend he could be so he could block out his former life, he forgot to be a father to his own children, of which there were 3.

If Philip had taken responsibility of his actions maybe it wouldn’t be complicated for Miss. Narwin and himself. If he had apologize to her and try his best in her class and not lie about what he did in class to his parents Philip would see that Miss. Narwin as a bad teacher and pass her class and would be able to do track, nobody would go against him (including his “true love” Allison), and nothing

This shows now Phillip understands that war is no joke and this is a mature understanding.

Philip is a round character because he changes throughout the story such as in the beginning of the story Philip

This incident changed Philip’s opinion about Italy and he, therefore, has nothing good to say about it anymore. Instead of praising and defending it, he “[tries] to think of something sinister and subtle” (60), when Gino sends postcards to Irma and informs her about her baby brother. He is also no longer willing to “think of his own morals and behaviour any more” (60), but instead prefers his mother’s mindset. It is to no surprise, that he is outraged when Caroline Abbott is determined to help Lilia’s baby. “’Never in my life have I seen such colossal impertinence. She ought to be well smacked, and sent back to Sunday-school’” (63). He is certain that Miss Abbott will “raise a scandal” (63), if the Herritons will not find a way to do something

“Bishop Henry and Bishop Waleran both turned their heads to Philip and stared at him. Their expressions showed utter astonishment as they realized that Philip…had negotiated a deal with the king behind their backs…Philip realized he had made an enemy for life” (Follett 331).
