Modern Monsters Vs Modern Monster

The main characters, both good and evil, are well-fleshed out. Robert is the typical hero: he is always doing the honorable thing and fighting the enemy to save the princess - even if it means dying in the process. Simmonne is sweet and honest; however, at times I felt that the author depicted her as a weak female in a world dominated by men. Oul’sor, Robert’s worthy enemy, is blinded by

Nick, the shooter wasn’t just portrayed as some evil villain, as through Val’s eyes we see her memories of him, her sweet and loving boyfriend who liked to quote Shakespeare and understood Val better than anyone else, and who ultimately was a victim too. That is the cleverest part of the book, that essentially the shooter is not only the perpetrator of the crime but also a victim, as had he not been pushed to the edge by the bullying of his schoolmates then the shooting may never have happened. I thought it was really good that none of the characters were completely good or completely evil. This style that Brown used completely enabled the readers to ponder after finishing the book whether Nick should gain our sympathy or not. Whether Nick was a victim or not. This leads to discussions between people who have read the book and constant curiosity of the novel. This is successful for the book as it makes the readers think about the book even after they’ve finished

One of the things about the book that I personally liked was the characters, some of them were easy to relate to, even if you couldn't you could relate someone you knew with them. For example, David is not one of the main characters from the story but the more you learn about him, the more you realize how ambitious he is, wanted to change his career path almost every week, standing up to Mr. Neck. I think he's one of the things that helped Melinda find her voice.

Victoria’s story is influence by society because she wants to gain attention and needs to make the story more believable. Society knows that Mayella was most likely raped and beat by her dad, but society has prejudice towards blacks and want to see him get executed, so for that to happen she has to make her story sound like Tom came in and forced her down and beat her. Victoria is seen as a cocky person that just wants attention from society. In order for her to do so she tells the story to make society see her as the victim and makes up a completely fake story. She also changed the story every time she was asked what happened. Even though Mayella and Victoria are accusers, Ruby is an accuser that has different motives than Victoria and Mayella. As the Scottsboro trial went on, Ruby had gotten the attention that she wanted, and realized that what she was doing is wrong and needed to make things right. Victoria still wanted to prove the Scottsboro boys guilty, even after she gets the attention she wants. When Ruby tries to change, and prove the Boys innocent, she was to little to late. Society had thought she was lying to try and get more

Overall, the book is really good and sticks to those three main ideas of courage, weakness and truth throughout it. As both a reader and a writer (I write my own little novels) this book is really goods and i would recommend it to anyone who asks

The plot is great, it has a lot of action, and suspense. I also like the way Hinton describes the characters in detail, and makes you feel like you can actually see the character when she describes them. I would definitely recommend the teachers to keep teaching it because the novel has a good moral to it. It teaches you to not judge anyone immediately, how violence only makes things worse, and how to solve your problems. My favorite character is Johnny because he reminds me of myself. He sacrificed his life to save the children trapped in the church, and he stood up for Ponyboy and himself when he stabbed Bob. The symbols and allusions in the book are meaningful like when Johnny tells Ponyboy to stay gold right before he dies. It’s a reference to Robert Frost’s Nothing Gold Can

With these chapters, I struggled doing my literary analysis because there was not much I could relate to except for the fact that he sometimes felt “yellow” in which I thought it meant being somewhat of a coward. I just focused on the fact that Holden ordered a prostitute, but he didn’t want to do anything with her and only talk. I focused on this because it was interesting to see how he changes character-wise. I saw him as only a perverted, immature guy, but he has some aspects of him that are commendable, like this situation with the prostitute. When Maurice comes and beats him up, I feel sorry for him, but when he starts acting like he got shot and making it all dramatic, I stopped. I stopped feeling sorry because he is just exaggerating the situation and I don’t like that about him. He’s acting like he’s in a movie and it doesn’t make sense that he’s doing that since he supposedly hates movies. These chapters just give me a rollercoaster of emotions.

Hatred and fear blind us. We no longer see each other. We only see the faces of monsters, and that gives us the courage to destroy each other." by Thick Nhat Hanh. In Frankenstein by Mary Shelley is about a scientist named Victor Frankenstein who is taken over by his interest in science. He wanted to create life like God, but with science. He created a monster but this came with consequences that He never imagined. The monster was kind hearted and nobody saw it because they focused on his appearance instead of his kind heart, and feelings. Frankenstein didn't give much thought about how this would affect the monster in the future. At the end Frankenstein and the monster are both driven by revenge and this affected their relationship in a negative way. Frankenstein and the monster shared similarities that were driven by revenge, anger, and loneliness.

“The sheer volume of historical work on slavery has become so cast that keeping up with it is a task of herculean proportions even for experts in the field. For everyone else, it is simply impossible.” The outcome is a society which misrepresents race relations. We do not live in a post racial society, in fact, how much of a society do we even truly live in? Whiteness is the sensation of those colours perceived by the human eyes as being white, blackness is the object of economic disadvantage, restricted opportunities, and community disorganization, consolidating the framework of black culture as black rootlessness, homelessness and namelessness. As generic terms, both are marked by social construction to legitimize the color line, hence blowing the cosmic proportion of the American ideals of ‘life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness’ and celebrating instead the idiom of ‘separate but equal’. The aim of this paper then is to explore how Americans negotiate between ‘blackness’ and ‘whiteness’. The texts offered throughout this course have focused on the injustices done to Blacks throughout United States History, by understanding them together they highlight the atrocities still intact today.

Man verses monster. Protagonist verses antagonist. A hero verses a villain. But what is it that makes them different? What distinguishes the man from the monster?

The monster’s evil is later shown in the novel when Shelley’s plot takes a turn as the readers find out that Henry, Victor’s childhood friend, has been found deceased on the shore of the

     The author wrote this story as a literary genius. There is an extreme level of suspense that leaves you wanting

All the symptoms that are associated with end of life care are of great concern. They all in one way or another affect the quality of life of the patient undergoing that journey. I would have to say that to me dyspnea would be of the most bothersome. I think of the instances where perhaps you may be choking on food, having an asthma attack, or any other situation which can lead you to be short of breath for a short period of time and reflect back on how uncomfortable and anxious you feel at that moment and apply it to attempt to form a picture of how the patient may feel undergoing this problem for an extended amount of time. Not only does being short of breath increase anxiety, but it also affects so many other aspects, such as not being able

Ernest Hemingway is well-known for uniquely integrating his own experiences into his works. With each plot, he subtly weaves the elements into multiple layers of significance. His skillful use of allegory adds meaning to each story, as it allows the reader to take a step back in time and get a glimpse some of the controversies of the past. If the story were to lose its believability, the connection to the reader would be severed. Many of Hemingway’s stories allow the reader to easily grasp the superficial concepts that Hemingway is trying to convey, while also leaving the reader to expand upon it in detail through her own experiences, imagination, and research. The descriptive setting, plausible characters, and deep allegory of moral

Throughout the novel, we see how secrets and a guilty conscience can change and influence one’s being, and how these experiences can influence
