Smitty Ginny Analysis

While she was singing, Toddy came in to the bar she was performing. His first action when he arrived was to kiss the woman’s hand as a sign of salute. The bar’s owner expression was of disgust towards Victoria’s performance and her voice; he was turning his eyes and throwing ash from his cigarette in the ashtray as a sign of dislike and antipathy during her performance. When she finished, everybody applauded smiling because she did it great, even though the owner was not happy at all with Victoria. He advised her that she had to do it more naturally and she replied that with a little more of practice she could do it better. When she left, she told him that in some professions practice does make perfect, she yelled angrily to him, and broke his glass of wine causing scare to the

To begin, this story takes place in New Jersey. The author introduces Sam who is dealing with his mother Sandra. His solution to this problem is to persuade his father to sue. The author explains that he wanted to move with his father. The author also introduces us to Phyllis who is Sam’s father wife, which is now sam’s stepmother. The author mostly focuses on Sam and his mother Sandra the relationship between the two. Such as the shouting, smoking, bringing in different boyfriends every week. Also about the letter that Sam wrote his mother regards of his decision. “Everything!The cooking, the cleaning,the shouting . Everything!”[Schwartz pg. 87]. This quote refers back to the article about his mother Sandra. The most important detail provided by the author in the beginning of the story are important because they demonstrate that Sam persuades his father to sue his mother so

79). This quote shows how Ginny no longer puts her father first and that he Ginny even realizes that she is built off her presence in their community, “I was so remarkably comfortable with the discipline of making a good appearance!” (Smiley, pg. 701). Smiley uses a lot of imagery to describe what Ginny is feeling and experiencing that is effective at engaging the audience and almost puts them in her shoes. I personally felt as if I was next to Ginny throughout the whole novel due to this imagery and language.

(2) The narrator knows does not know very much about what is happening because in the story it states in paragraph one sentence one " It looked like a good thing: but wait till i tell you". When i read this I realized that the narrator could

The same night, Sam went to her school dance with her best friend by her side and also the foreign exchange student her grandparents were hosting.

Longing for her husband’s forgiveness, Missy May promises to obey and fulfill his every desire henceforth. After silent days and nights, Missy May decides to rid Joe of her presence, believing that to be his wish. Reluctantly, she stays to prove her determination and love for her husband. The conception of their first child really sparks the match in Joe’s head that Missy May never meant to do him wrong; after many months of neglect, Joe traveled down to Orlando for errands and took a detour to his favorite candy store. With Otis Slemmons’ gilded coin, Joe spent “all dat in kisses.” While there, he though of his “lil boy chile [at] home now. Tain't a week old yet, but he kin suck a sugar tit and maybe eat one them [molasses] kisses hisself" (p. 11).

The author gives evidence on how Ginny really treated Smitty “ The problem is that you don’t really care about Smitty( page 70).” This shows how Ginny really trated Smitty, at first she didn’t really care about him and was kind of annoyed why Caulder really cared about him. There is also another evidence on how Ginny really treated Smitty “ Well I don’t want to be by myself (page 78).” This shows that Ginny is only using Smitty for her own good, because she does not really want to be alone with Caulder and Hally, so if Hally was not really going to come with them, then she would not go to Smitty’s house and ask him to come with her, which is not kind a thing to do. The other evidence that the author gives is how Ginny has really changed and started to respect the thing Smitty does “ felt my heart was speeding(page 100).” This shows when Smitty wrote a Poem, she was really surprised, because she thought he does not like to do these kind of thing, but when she actually read it she started to like it, that her heart was speeding fast. Although at first she was not treating him as a human, but little by little she changed and started to like the things he really

To begin with the book Of Mice and Men is a very touching story; Steinbeck did an amazing job describing each character to show their differences. George Milton and Lennie Small the two main characters in the story are very different in appearance, but are similar in some aspects. They are migrant worker that go to different plantations just trying to earn money and stay out of trouble.

But where the story began to take a turn was when Marla, the woman that he met in the support groups, called and stated she was in the process of committing suicide. He pretty much blew her off when Tyler took the initiative to go to her apartment where he becomes her coping mechanism by using sex. But while the narrator (Edward) thinks that he is having some sort of nightmare not understanding it is actual reality. Then noticing the tension between the two the narrator states that they Marla and Tyler remind him of his parent because he never sees them in the same place at once. The only time that they spent in the same room was during sexual intercourse. He narrator was jealous because of the way he felt for Marla, but just too afraid to express it because she was already sleeping with Tyler. This is why the tension was so high.

In the novella, ‘Of Mice and Men’, the characters of Slim and Curley are created to have a strong influence on the other workers’ lives. While both the characters make an impact with the way they are presented, Steinbeck portrays them both very differently. He does this by giving the reader different impressions when each of the characters are introduced, the idiosyncrasies the author has given them, the way they treat others, how the rest of the characters react to the characteristics of Curley and Slim and why they influence particular characters.

In the novella Of Mice And Men by John Steinbeck, the relationship between Lennie Small and George Milton is complex. Lennie and George are two companions who look for work and brave the hardships of the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression together. Although Lennie and George are both grown men, their relationship resembles more of a child and a single parent, or a boy and his dog. Lennie is portrayed as animalistic and childish through his behavior and Steinbeck’s comparisons. This reveals the crucial power dynamic in George and Lennie’s relationship.

The movie My Cousin Vinny follows two young men, Bill and Stan, as they embark on their journey to UCLA. Along the way, they become hungry and decide to stop at the Sack Of Suds, an unassuming little convenience store in Alabama, to buy a few refreshments. After leaving the store, Bill discovers that he has accidentally forgotten to pay for a can of tuna. Soon following his realization, the men get pulled over by a cop and are arrested.

Having been the last persons seen at the crime scene, Stan and Bill are now the number one suspects in the clerk’s murder. Unable to afford a lawyer, they enlist the help of Bill’s cousin, Vinny Gambini. Vinny is not your average lawyer, though, as an injury attorney who has only been at work for six weeks, has never been to trial, and, who, took six attempts to pass the bar, odds aren't in his favor for winning a murder trial.

Moloch represents authority, those who tell us how we can and cannot live. Ginsberg proclaims this when he calls Moloch “the heavy judger of men,” meaning he has the power to give and take, a reference to capitalism, which is a system where the means of production and distribution are owned by private corporations. Ginsberg was strongly against capitalism. “He grew up with a communist mother, and found the government having complete control of the country detrimental to society. Subsequently, he did not like capitalism because, once again, much of the power was out of the hands of the people.” He reiterates this when he says Moloch is “the cross-bone soulless jailhouse and Congress of sorrows!” which seems to say Moloch is the power of the government or the private organizations and its control over the people. He is, on one hand, calling Congress an actual place of sorrows and on the other, saying Congress focuses
