Lottie Character Analysis

On February 18, 2017, I attended a play production at the Bean Brown Theatre located at Shelton State Community College. The name of the production was The Real Queen of Hearts Ain’t Even Pretty. As a spectator of the play, with no foreknown knowledge of its content, I enjoyed the play. It had many comedic components.

Discuss the issues raised and reasoning behind decisions made when attempting to contemporize your own version of Sarah Kane’s play Cleansed for stage. Comment on the professional production and how and why your work may have differed from, or mirrored, Katie Mitchell’s production and any considerations/adjustments you may have made to your performance after viewing

As long as evil existed unchecked in the town, it was Miss Strangeworth's duty to keep her town in check.In the story, “The Possibility of Evil”,by Shirley Jackson,the author addresses the ideas of a lady who writes letters to people telling them their evil in hope of them changing without the person knowing it is her who is writing the letters.Miss Strangeworth’s has a lot of characteristics,there’s only three that I would be able to describe her as organized,clever,and cruel.

In Countdown by Deborah Wiles, the character Franny is shown to be a very round character possessing many different traits. These traits include being observant, over dramatic, and self conscious. Now Franny is very observant as seen by her others doing something very small out of the ordinary and her noticing. So in short, others actions. When her sister Jo Ellen smiled at her brother Drew, she noticed that Jo Ellen smiled at him like she was his mother (73). No one ordinary takes a second glance at their sibling’s smile to note any abnormalities in such an average setting like the dinner table. For Franny to acknowledge that shows that she really pays attention to everything thus making her observant. Now others actions aren’t the only

The fight for justice is not always unequivocal or favorable, sometimes justice is given by means that do not seem fair at all. William Styron says in a novel that life “is a search for justice.” It is blatant that throughout Khaled Hosseini's novel, A Thousand Splendid Suns, female characters are continuously battered with injustices. Hosseini hones into the oppression of women and the fight for women empowerment through the life of one of his main characters, Mariam. Her journey is shown throughout the novel where she struggles to search for and understand justice.

In The Princess Bride, the storytellers introduce the plotline to suggest that how we as humans fight for what we believe in because it makes us happy.

In a world where technology has taken over, being different is a thing of the past. Titus is attracted to Violet from the very beginning simply because she is different. After Violet’s feed is hacked and she starts to malfunction, Titus begins to feel real emotions, something he hasn’t felt before. Whenever he feels these emotions, his feed tries everything in its power to put an end them, almost knowing that Titus is thinking on his own. Titus doesn’t know how to handle not just the mixture of the real emotions he feels from Violet and what the feed wants him to feel, but the fact that he’s feeling those emotions about her. Day by day, as Violets health rapidly declines, Titus begins to get angry at the fact that she’s acting so much different

The way Bell grew up contributed to her strong crave for her mother’s love and long for her mother to show her happy side. Growing up Hattie was always seen struggling and bitter, so bell had never saw her smile. Even with her husband August, Hattie was always stern. Mathis writes “...The man looked at Hattie and said something… Hattie threw her head back and laughed. Bell nearly cried. She’d never seen her mother laugh that way. She’d never seen any joy in her at all. Hattie had been stern and angry all of Bell's life” (Mathis 248). This was a rare moment for Bell since the fact that Hattie was always quick tempered and remote. Bell craves Hattie’s love so much that she reminisces on the horrible beatings her and her siblings would get and that made Bell miss Hattie even more. The author explains this by writing “..Hattie’s hands bringing down the belt on her children thighs, full of Hattie’s rages and silences… Bell missed her” (Mathis 249). Also, ever since Bell

In the story “A Secret Sorrow”, a woman by the name of Faye is battling a traumatic accident. The reference of the car accident sets the reader up for the tone of the story. In the beginning of chapter 11, Faye is very fragile woman. Something is making her feel distraught. When reading the first sentence “feel the blood drain from her face” (Van Der Zee 28) and “thought she was going to faint” (28), its not clear what permanent internal injury Faye has, as stated in the preface. In the following few paragraphs the author wrote, “clutched at him for support, fighting for control” and “legs were shaking so badly”. These descriptive statements of

For this paper I have choose Lottie from By The Way, Meet Vera Stark setting in Los Angeles 1930s, she is the friend/roommate of Vera Stark. Lottie is a heavy set women sassy lady also former Broadway performer, she move to Los Angeles, California to better her acting career but doesn’t really work out as she planned. Before she moved Lottie was a big star for herself playing the big roles in plays in the north east playing roles like Julie from Shakespeare getting paid lots of money, but after not getting any roles she just drops her acting career. Lottie doesn’t believe in running back to the business if it doesn’t hand you anything in return. Lottie wants somebody to just find her without her putting in the work ”take no more on your heels than you can kick them off with your toes” she says (pg 20) she is taking no more time in looking for acting job she just hopes they will come to her in the future.

Collier also uses detail to support the poignant tone. After Lizabeth destroys the Marigolds, Miss Lottie looks at her with a face she won’t forget. Through the face of Miss Lottie, Lizabeth saw that “she had been born in a squalor and had lived in it all her life. Now at the end of that life she had nothing except a falling-down hut, a wrecked body, and John Burke, the mindless son of her passion...whatever of love and beauty and joy that had not been squeezed out by life, had been there in the marigolds she had so tenderly cared for,” (405). This evidence reveals that Lizabeth saw what kind of person Miss Lottie is truly is. Lizabeth saw that Miss Lottie was a person born into poverty that lived in filth. Miss Lottie’s only happiness and love were given to the Marigolds that Lizabeth destroyed. When you destroy a person’s only happiness it is natural to reflect on your action when you are in the same circumstances with them and eventually feel guilty and regret your

As her trust in men and God declines, the tipping point to the next tier is when she uncovers Nettie’s letters Albert has been hiding from her. They revitalize her faith in her sister and her reliance shifts from God towards Nettie, “Dear Nettie I don’t write to God no more. I write to you” (Walker 192). Transitioning from God to Nettie, she begins relying on her sister whom she knows is a real figure and a role-model. Nettie is one of the only people in her life she has seen stand up for what she believes is right and wrong, “Everyday it something else to make miration over...He try to give her a compliment she pass it on to me” (Walker 17). It is implied that Albert tried to swoon Nettie, but she respectfully decline and was soon thereafter

Celie, the narrator of The Color Purple, is an uneducated, submissive, 14-year old black girl who lives in Georgia. Celie is constantly being abused and raped by her father, Alphonso. He has already impregnated Celie twice. The first one was a girl while the second one was a boy. All her children were taken away by her father after they were born. Her father told her that she better not tell anybody about their relationship but God, which explains why every letter she write begins with “Dear God”. Celie’s mother is happy because Alphonso doesn’t bother her anymore, but the truth is that Alphonso has been raping Celie as a substitute for her mother to gratify his sexual needs. Celie’s mother becomes seriously sick and eventually dies. Alphonso brings home another woman but continues to sexually

In “Miss Brill,” Katherine Mansfield utilizes Miss Brill’s thoughts and actions and the surroundings to characterize Miss Brill as a lonely character. Mansfield immediately introduces Miss Brill with a very odd scene that shows her conversation with the fur coat. This quickly and effectively establishes the type of person Miss Brill is. As a result, Mansfield suggests that Miss Brill is a lonely and an “abnormal” person to illustrate to the audience how society treats those who are not considered “normal” through the later actions of a young couple.

Throughout Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables, the character Jean Valjean, the Patron-Minette, and Gavroche have a lot in common. What defines them as people, though, are their actions in life and the actions of others. Hugo emphasizes how the lack of those things (education and kindness) leads to criminal ways and an ungratified way of life. No one has shown them affection or kindness which leads them to believe society is mean and they develop hatred towards it. Not one of them were educated, which leads to ignorance and a lack of opportunities in life, which leads to crime in the long run.
