Madela Quote Analysis

I believe that the theme of The Outsiders is that: “Not everybody is like what you think they are”. This is proven to be true because of these next three paragraphs show how.

Sometimes, things can be rough. In this fantastic book by S.E. Hinton- The Outsiders, the story starts off with a boy named Ponyboy. WHen his brother gets mad at him, he runs away, expecting to return the next morning. That is all turned upside down when his friend Johnny kills a boy. They run away to Windrixville together. Then, on their way back, they spot a burning church and run inside and save the children trapped in the back. Johnny is seriously injured by a piece of burning wood. Throughout the next chapters, the boys are preparing for the big fight against an enemy gang, the Socs. After the fight, which they win, Pony and his buddy Dallas WInston go and see JOhnny in the hospital one last time before he died. Dallas, who is overrun

Power, it is something that everyone wants, it classifies us. “To Kill a Mockingbird” is about a powerless black man, Tom Robinson, accused of raping a white woman, Mayella Ewell. Because of Mayella’s class and gender she is powerless, but her race makes her have a little more power.

Steinbeck wrote about many different characters who are full of dreams which sadly none of their dreams came true. Everyone has a big dream that would like to accomplish one day but sometimes , when we get lonely our dreams don’t come true. Through these characters John Steinbeck shows the effects about true loneliness.

In Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird, the atmosphere of discrimination normalizes the use of slurs, and the ostracization of certain members of the community, for the children in the novel. To Kill A Mockingbird, written in 1960, set in the fictitious town of Maycomb, Alabama. This novel, from the perspective of the character Scout, is a tale of identity, injustice, and inequality in a time of heavy discrimination. In Lee’s novel, the use of slurs is a common occurrence in the town of Maycomb. Scout, as well as the other children in the novel, are exposed to adults and their peers using these slurs, and, consequently, slurs become a desensitized part of everyday language. From the beginning of the novel, Boo Radley is an enigma to Scout,

The purpose of this quote is to foreshadow what the crime does to the community and how the death of four lives not only ruins the lives of the murderers but also the townspeople. Holcomb was described in the previous paragraphs as a peaceful place where nothing bad could have ever happened. However, the author uses phases such as “lock their doors” to portray how Holcomb and the people that live there had their lives change drastically. Capote also uses the phrase “and as strangers” to show how a very close community transforms into a town where no one feels safe and secure. The effectiveness of this quote comes from how Capote describes the townspeople and what affect it has on their everyday lifestyles.

Elie Wiesel’s quote is important to me and many of my peers because he lets us know that it does not require a lot to be done for the right thing to happen or the best moral choice to be done. In the quote he says, “... there is always a moment when the moral choice is made. Often because of one story or one book or one person, we are able to make a different choice, a choice for humanity, for life”. For me, my grandmother, a woman who positively contributes to her city, country, and community, has influenced my ethical decision making. Anyone who knows my grandmother knows she is a woman who has strong morals. When I was young she gave me talks about doing the right thing just because it is the right thing to do.

The original quote, titled as “I was born to make mistakes not to fake perfection,” from Drake, demonstrates that everyone makes mistakes. The singer goes on to explain we weren’t born to be perfect. While some might view these lyrics as advice to stop trying to be perfect. The quote suggest that the writer is held to standard of perfection when in reality he isn’t perfect. I found the original text interesting because a lot of celebrities portray to the media they have perfect lifestyles. Whereas, Drake acknowledged he's only human and makes mistakes too, even though he is a celebrity. Another thing that was fascinating about the original quote was he acknowledged that people weren’t born to fake perfection. I choose to remix and change the original version to display more irony.

In this paragraph, the author is explaining that Mary would be determined to do anything even in the most awkward time and she would lead others with her to do the same. She gives an example comparing her and a bank account, Her family legacy had taught her to see achievement as something that functioned like a bank account meaning that she worked and got her pay and kept it safe and got additional money. Meaning, she would work as much as she could when she had the greatest things. She would put more effort to move forward. Also, Mary Jackson had helped people in future generations. She had been a big impact to the world now. Being an engineer for a black female was something completely new, because it was considered a man’s job. It was not

Hi Carrie! I agree that the message of morals is largely apparent in this story, and this reminded me of a quote "Who is more wicked: he who kills evil, or he who protects them" (S. Jackson). I liked how you pointed out how the pointed out how Captian Torres' quote of killing not being easy. My question is, if Captain Torres knew that the barber was a rebel informat, why did he put himself in that vulnerable position? In the story the author points out that Captain Torres has ordered executions in the past, and pointed out how hard it is to do so. My take on the matter is that the Captain wants to be punished for what he's done and has given the right to judge him to the barber, someone who has personallly seen what he's done and stands on

Miller says, in Brocke Clarke’s realistic fiction novel, Exley, that “M.R. had his arm around Z’s shoulder and Z. was smiling, like he knew, now, somehow that everything would be okay. And it was. Z was still alive… I knew what had worked for Z. and M.R. would work for my dad and Exley” (25). Miller was saying that Z, a child in his class who had cancer, lived because he got to be with M.R., and if his dad were to meet Exley, then his dad would live too. Exley had written his father’s favorite Novel, in which he read constantly, A Fan’s Notes. In Miller’s mind, M.R. was to Z. as Exley was to his father. Miller perceived that the only reason Z. lived was because he was able to meet M.R. and Miller assumed

This quote shows how the dad is practically demanding his daughter not to be upset about leaving her toy behind. This situation mirrors an event in the book The Outsiders when Darry tells Ponyboy, “They didn't hurt you too bad, did they?” After this question, Ponyboy reluctantly agrees that he is fine. The way Darry and the Dad in Glass Castle word their questions prompts a specific response. In both cases they tell the other what they expect to hear.

Douglas Coupland once said, “Remember: the time you feel lonely is the time you most need to be by yourself. Life's cruelest irony.” Douglas Coupland is describing in his quote a way that someone is displaying loneliness and needs someone to break it but deep down you yourself is the only one who can free you from it. Of Mice and Men is taken place in Salinas Valley, California, Steinbeck had written the novel during the great depression: a long and severe recession in an economy or market. George and Lennie the main characters of this novel and are two unemployed men seeking work.

The quote that I feel best represents the entire book is from when Lauren is talking to Eloise about her son moving away to college to which Eloise tells Lauren, “You can’t hold on to them forever. Everything can’t stay the same” (Pg. 212). The reason I believe this quote provides a good representation of this book is because I believe that this is a very good quote to have in the book and it does good job of representing the entire book. Especially where Eloise says, “Everything can’t stay the same.” This is entirely true throughout the entire book. Things were constantly changing with the people whom Lauren was taking care of. There constantly seemed to be someone who was passing away or someone who was moving in to replace that person's

Oskar, a nine years old boy has lost his father in 9/11. After his father’s death, Oskar begins to think of unusual thoughts and questions. Oskar uses these thoughts as “excuses” to avoid the emotions of his father. In my opinion, I believe that he is leaving reality, in order to go into his fantasy world to escape the pain and misery. It is also quite ironic, how Oskar (nine year boy) can think of uncommon and weird apprehending thoughts in his mind. While other nine years boy would rather think about games and friends, Oskar is an extraordinary kid. Furthermore, I find this quote interesting to me, because it combines the concept of scientific theory and thinking skills. Before examining this quote, I did not care for the death capacity put in for the deceased bodies. However, after reading this quote I’ve learned that, how the spaces for the deceased are shrieking and may actually cause a global problem.
