Mrs. Jones Character Analysis

The Junie B. Jones series has become extremely popular over the years. There are many people that love the stories because of how witty Junie B. is. It is also true that a large number of children can connect with her since Barbra Park created the series with Junie B. speaking in first person as the narrator. However, there are a lot of concerns with the amount of disrespect seen by Junie. Additionally, there could be an educational confusion for children who are trying to learn to read and pronounce words correctly. The Junie B. Jones series basically glorifies being bad, not listening to adults and using language that a five or six year old should not be using. The ruthless actions and improper usage of communication by Junie B. in the Junie B. Jones series can be very confusing and misleading for the young children that are expected to read these books.

In Jasper Jones, male characters are portrayed as the controlling species. An example of this would be the Shire President, Pete Wishart. He controlled and bullied his wife. He even abused his own daughter. The female characters are portrayed as less dominant and emotionally unstable. When Laura told Mrs. Wishart, her mother, that her father was abusing her, Mrs. Wishart called her a liar and defended him. This makes it seem like women did not have any natural affection for their children. In society, females were less dominant. They usually stayed at home to cook, clean, and take care of the children. The men, however, were the money makers. They worked while the women stayed home. This gave men power over the women because

Strength doesn’t come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn’t.”

The novel ‘Jasper Jones’ written by Craig Silvey and the film ‘Little Miss Sunshine’ directed by Johnathan Dayton and Valerie Faris explores the idea that the main characters are outcast in society. Craig Silvey’s novel is set in the 1960’s at the peak of the Vietnam war, in the fictional town of Corrigan, Charlie Bucktin, a 13-year-old boy’s life changes in an instant when he becomes entangled with Jasper Jones and becomes a witness of a traumatic crime scene. ‘Little miss sunshine’ focuses on an 8-year-old protagonist, Olive, who aspires to be a beauty queen. Her family support her wishes and they all endure a 3-day journey from Albuquerque, New Mexico to Redondo, California. Both texts focus on the idea of the main characters being outcast. Both characters have many

On page three, Mrs. Jones said “I have done things, too, which I would not tell you, son-neither tell God, if he didn’t already know.” When Mrs. Jones was saying this, one was probably thinking that she has done something like this before, and that is probably why took Roger in instead of taking him to jail. On page three, Mrs. Jones said “Now, here, take this ten dollars and buy yourself some blue suede shoes. And next time, do not make the mistake of latching on to my pocketbook nor nobody else’s-because shoes come by devilish like that will burn your feet.” One may think that Mrs. Jones was saying that if you do bad stuff but have nice shoes it will “burn your feet”. It is very important to think about the decisions you make in life. Making a bad decision comes with consequences, which can be compounded with further

Imagine you are a lawyer tasked with an impossible case, and everybody in your community is against you, but still there is a shred of hope you cling to. What might that be you ask? That to which you cling are your morals. In To Kill a Mockingbird Atticus Finch had been given the Tom Robinson case, where a black man was convicted of raping a white woman. As a single father of two children, he continues to reinforce his values throughout the trial and during his daunting task of raising his children. In To Kill A Mockingbird what Harper Lee suggests about the nature of morals is that you should try to stand up for what you believe in even if people oppose or reject your ideals. Even when faced with an insurmountable opposition you should stand up for your morals because in the end if your don't follow your beliefs you are just contributing to the problem. We should try to create a voice for what we believe in and impress that upon the next generation so they can continue to exercise their beliefs to make the world a better place.

On page 32 Ms. Jones shows she trusts Roger by turning away when she sets her purse beside him on the couch. Also on the same page she lets the boy go and she trust him not to run away and he doesn’t so at least she straightened him up a little bit already. The young man also wants to show he learned a lesson by saying ‘ do you need anything from the store such as milk or something ‘ on page 32. This also shows will never attempt to steal another woman’s purse again.

This teenager obviously made a mistake trying to snatch her purse. However, Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones doesn’t hold grudges. In fact, she cleans up the boy and gives him what he wanted. “Now, here, take this ten dollars and buy yourself some blue suede shoes.” (68,110) This action shows how she is willing to overcome Roger’s wrongdoings and clean him up.

Mrs.strageswroth’s character can be analyzed by considering what she does.Miss.Stragesworth is very joyful. The narrator says,”The sun was shining, the air was fresh and clear after the nights rain, and everything in Miss.Strangesworth town seemed washed and bright.” This was to show how Mrs.Strangesworth’s feelings towards the town.

At the beginning of “Thank you, Ma’am,” we see how just how compassionate Mrs. Jones really is. The moment she meets Roger, she tells the boy to wash his face. “Least I can do is wash your face. Are you hungry?” This might not seem like a very compassionate thing to do at first, however, she doesn’t even know the boy, yet she has enough compassion to make sure he is clean. Then, she takes the boy inside of her house! In addition, the boy, Roger asks, “You going to take me to jail?” But Mrs. Jones doesn’t. Maybe she sees that Roger is really a good boy inside, so she shows compassion to bring out his true kindness. This makes me think that he was probably trying to steal because he had to. And when Mrs. Jones asked him if he had anyone at home, he said, “No’m.” Mrs.

When you think of Marguerite Angelou, the first things that come to mind are her melodious, strong, and deeply moving voice and the way she could use that voice to bring her writings to life. What’s almost unbelievable, though, is that at one point in her life, she refused to speak. It was because her mother’s boyfriend raped her at a young age. This would be enough to close anybody’s mouth. It might also be a reason for people not to like her because nobody enjoys a conversation where you’re the only one talking. Yet, while she was living with her grandmother, a woman by the name of Mrs. Flowers began to show interest towards Marguerite. Mrs. Flowers showed her fondness of Marguerite by having Marguerite take her bags of groceries

I believe Mrs. Jones’s kindness changed Roger and now he realizes he doesn’t have to steal purses. If you don’t know, Roger, a 14 or 15 year old boy, tries to steal Mrs. Jones purse. She takes him and cleans him up. Mrs. Jones begins to cook and asks Roger if he is hungry. She turns around and cooks. Mrs. Jones turned her back on Roger while cooking to see if he would steal her purse. While she is cooking, Roger began to realize that he didn’t want Mrs. Jones to not trust him. So Roger asked. “Do you need somebody to go to the store”. She replied, “No”. He really wanted Mrs. Jones to trust him. On page 32, the author said, “And he did not want to be mistrusted now”. As you can see from the story, he is beginning to start changing. You can

In this last chapter, my curiosity towards the Prince Jones character was put to rest. The elaboration to the character of course served a purpose, and you could draw new inferences from the Dr. Jones story. For example, it seems that no matter how hard someone tries to get out of the stereotype by attainting education, resources, and material possessions. They are still one racist incident away from being in the stereotype. We would all like to believe that we fit in with the people we grow up with and associate with. However, in Dr. Jones case she had to go above and beyond to receive the respect she has from her equals. This goes back to the fact that as a person of a certain color you will always have to work harder than your white counterparts

The audacious actions executed by Mrs. Dubose are used to illustrate how she is a fundamental character when it comes to demonstrating true courage. Throughout the years Mrs. Dubose was alive she was unafraid to speak her mind knowing that others had their own views and opinions they would later express. The readers are made aware of this during the time when Mrs. Dubose was speaking to Scout and Jem saying,

Our attitude towards what is normal in terms of gender as well as social class has changed dramatically from the Victorian Era into the Modern Era. During the Victorian Era, women had clearly defined roles as housewives, mothers, caretakers, and mediators, however, this all began to change during the modern era as the ideology and morals shifted over time and women began to take on a more flexible and dynamic role. Through the presentation of Julie and Jean’s nontraditional characters in the play Miss Julie, August Strindberg explores the themes of class and gender dynamic during the late Victorian era to be one that is shifting.
