Sheila Mant And Clueless Relationship

E.E. Cummings explained “It takes courage to grow up and turn out to be who you really are.”

and we can do so only by taking the risk of being uniquely our own selves.” This quote fits

The realization comes later after he has accidentally hooked the biggest fish he has ever hooked. By reeling in the bass, he would be losing Sheila, but cutting it loose would make him lose the catch of his life. When the narrator finally knows a decision must be made between the bass and Sheila, he chooses Sheila believing it is a more mature thing to do. When he “pull[s] a penknife . . . and cut[s] the line,” (7) he makes a conscious decision that Sheila Mant is to be more important than his fishing. When the night is over, and Sheila goes off in a different guy’s Corvette, the narrator comes to the realization that she was not worth giving up the fish. Later in life, after being with other girls and catching other fish, what “haunts [him] still” is losing the bass, not Sheila Mant. Ultimately, the narrator’s maturity came from finding out what he actually loved the most and sticking to that.

“For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.” ― Eric Roth, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Screenplay

One must not settle for anything when finding out who he is. Just because something is easy doesn’t mean it is the right choice. In order for a person to make a unique place in society and not just conform to what everyone else is doing,

This is a quote I can relate to because I believe that an individual should be himself or herself at all times. I believe that an individual is most comfortable in society when they are their true self. When an someone is their true self he or she will be greatly respected compared to someone who is not.

He talks about how he had to kinda convince her to go on a date with him. There are also may reasons for the narrator to choose the fish. The first reason he should pick the fish is that it’s the biggest fish. One reason is that, the tug on the rode was really strong. In the book it says that his rode bent out of shape and the line tightly coiled and then came a tearing sound of the line.

Acting permits a person to play different characters and appear as a different person then their self, as it is said, “I love acting. It is so much more than real life” (Wilde, 89). The novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, by Oscar Wilde, portrays that one’s appearance does not always match their soul. Wilde conveys this message through the manner in which a person behaves, in what they do, and through their looks.

Everyday I swam laps around a pond and did anything I could to seem cool as long as I was in her view. Sheila Mant that is she is the most beautiful girl ever she is in a big family she is the middle daughter she is older than me. I am only fourteen and she is seventeen but I have had such a big crush on her for a long time. It was a great day and I was watching stalking shelia from the forest and she was playing baseball. I yelled something as I left the forest as i started towards her, I approached Sheila on a summer afternoon and asked her if she had a date to the dance. She said no so I asked if she wanted to go with me. She thought for a minute and said sure. I said I would pick her up later in canoe.

Individual vs. self is the most important conflict in “Poor fish.” The narrator believes he is low in society and has no self-confidence whatsoever. The story is told in first person, so the reader knows the narrators thoughts and feelings. Throughout the novel the narrator struggles with how he believes people to perceive him as. He is utterly confused and astonished by the fact Ida, his girlfriends has such adoration for him.

Everyone is living in bad faith. If you try to be sincere, or who you are, that’s implying that you weren’t who you are to begin with. Who were you then? You can try to be the student or the teacher or the waiter but you are only taking on a role, a mask. And in trying to be these things do you not become them? Nothing separates you from these roles. Because if you can’t say that your “being” is those roles, what can you say that you are? Subtract the roles and the masks and you get nothing. Sartre states “a person frees himself from himself by the very act by which he makes himself an object for himself” (Sartre, 1943). This nothing that you get when you remove the masks frees you. It allows you to put on whatever mask you please, to take on the role of your choice. Choices and thought are the only things that we can be sure that we have in

Sheila smiles like the Mona Lisa reminiscing to herself how she met Bev for the first time, eighteen years ago. They met at Meredith’s wedding. The harpist hooking up with the mother of the bride was breaking a bunch of rules in the girl code. But life wasn’t like the movies.A person usually couldn’t pinpoint the exact moment the greatest love of their life was about to fall into their lap. Sheila couldn’t stop thinking about Bev, the whole time she was strumming traditional Christmas Carols on her harp. With her dark hair and angular body, Bev looked like the actress Wendie Mallick from Just Shoot Me and Hot in Cleveland.

Things that happen in your life can shape and mold who you become. For example we have Alfred Prufrock who is embarrassed by his own life, unhappy, and afraid of rejection. Something must have happened in his life to the point where he refuses to take chances, yet he is highly dissatisfied with his life. However that’s his identity He wants so bad to be social yet he feels as if everyone is talking about him. “(They will say: “How his hair is growing thin!”)” or “(They will say: ‘But how his arms and legs are thin!”)”. (Lines 41 and 44) He is too worried about other people’s opinions to go for what he wishes to have. He even states “I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. I do not think that they will sing to me.” (Lines 123-124) He has such little self-confidence that he believes not even mermaids want to lure him in. He is saying he is not even good enough to be a sea monster’s dinner.

Stepping into the assignment I was immediately opted to google random quotes and find one that I felt I could understand the best. Upon my scrolling I stumbled upon a quote by Johnny Depp. Yes, Johnny Depp not Shakespeare or Marlow like most people would assume. The quote is: “With any part you play, there is a certain amount of yourself in it. There has to be, otherwise it's just not acting. It's lying.” This quote struck me as intriguing and made me rethink my perspective on acting. The main concept of the quote is to be yourself otherwise you are lying not only to yourself but to your audience. The quote also sheds light on the concept discussed in class where we need to represent parts of our personality in acting. We could try and mimic an actor but it would not be our own work. After contemplating all of these meanings I began to brainstorm the numerous possibilities of how his quote distinguishes acting skills and how it can be applied to daily life.
