The Impact And Change Of Byron And Kenny Watson

In ‘The Story of Tom Brennan’, the protagonist confronts a traumatic incident which compels him to undergo a physical relocation and sudden emotional change. The transition Tom predominantly faces is sudden as moving into the town of Coghill where he has to deal with social alienation and the horrific trauma inflicted through past events including Daniel’s anger and selfishness which hinders his physical and mentally growth and development. Tom experiences flashbacks of the ‘usual’ Australia Day with his family showing the complete paradox with what is now their reality and horror juxtaposed towards his flashback of the tragic accident of his older brother Daniel: “Running towards the car. Running into the headlights. Running into the silence of death.” The anaphora and repetition of ‘running’ highlights his emotional and physical devastation which emphasises the initial stages of the novel and negative connotations of ‘death’ assumes the setting. As a result of the crisis, Tom responds rather opposing towards transferring to a new setting of Coghill. Depressing motifs are frequently implied throughout the novel to express the feeling of despair and sadness: “There aren’t words to say how black and empty pain felt. It was deeper than the

Near the end Kenny had been hiding and Byron found him, but he said he wouldn’t tell, but he did the right thing by telling his parents. Kenny told us, “Even though Byron had a reputation for not being a snitch, I got the feeling he snitched on me.” This was the right thing for Byron to do because his parents were concerned but thanks to Byron not as much. So he ended up helping out his

Throughout the novel “The Story Of Tom Brennan” Burke cleverly employs an enormous amount of changes as a result of one tragic event. The event involves

Imagine that you were making a harmless meal , but in a turn of a page your life has completely changed not only for you, but everyone around you. In the novel Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie the main character Steven is a drummer that isn’t that popular. His little brother Jeffrey went to the hospital, and soon Steven finds out that Jeffrey has Leukemia. Steven takes it hard and changes as a person, therefore his relationships change. Annette, Renee, Dad, mom, and Jeffrey relationship with Steven changed from when he found out to the end to the novel.

Change can be seen as a form of transformation or conversion. A form of change can be seen in “Victory Lap” by George Saunders, a short story written in such a way that the events that are enrolling throughout the story are being processed and told through the minds of three main characters. Having the perspective of each character allows us, the readers to get a much greater understanding about them and to make a better character analysis. Having said that, this story is simply about a girl, Alison getting kidnapped by an unnamed kidnapper. What were really captivating were the changes spotted on characters as the conflict progresses. One character in particular is very intriguing and his name is Kyle. One of our main character, Alison

A small family of four, living in the Tory town of Redding. Life was great Mr. and Mrs. Meeker owned a small tavern that supplies their town with food, rum, and supplies. Their son Timmy helped around the tavern and did chores, because his older brother Sam was off at college. Everyone in Redding was close and knew the Meeker family, they all admired how they had raised Sam and Timmy. Every year after college was over, Sam would come home and visit, except one.

In a community of inhumanity and antithetical views where people are judged by their name, race or religion Craig Silvey has directed four intentions that I believe are the ethics that give this its story identity. The first two are that people may be living a whole new world and could have secrets they have to cope with. This is to say that they are distraught with fear, intruded by a messy state of mind or have relationships that go a bit pear-shaped from external forces. This is clear to Charlie Bucktin from the starting point where he got exposed to a mystery and the impacts it had on his life. The concept “The further away you are, the less you care” is shown in the book as an attempt of making the reader sense the reality of feelings. This is shown in the book when Charlie thinks of his friends relatives who died in the Vietnam war, and although he described it seemed the least violent thing that bothered him, it was clearly the worst. Another moral I extracted from Jasper Jones was that mysteries or even everyday comprehension could be from unconfirmed sources, accounts and neighborhood testimonies that shelter the actual truth. Mad Jack Lionel a proposed antagonist in the book was being treated as a Mad man and serial killer, when in fact he was just an brittle but polite old man who killed Jasper’s mother-Rosie Jones in a car accident and was scarred by

In the novel, kenny and Byron seem to get along sometimes, but somethings they get along is that they both like the Ultra-Glide, they take care of Joey, and they also like teasing each other. When Mr. Waton brought home the Ultra-Glide in the brown bomber both of the boys were very excited to play their own record. During the winter, Momma would make Joey and Kenny where lots of layers so that they would stay warm. But

Christopher’s real change happens when Christopher finds a stack of letter’s his ‘supposedly dead’ mother - “Mother died 2 years ago.” - writes to him whilst finding the book he was writing. This happens because his father tells him not to mind other’s business - “Father said, ‘Just try and keep your nose out of other people’s business.’” - and in result of not following his dad’s orders gets his book taken away. During his ‘detective work’ Christopher finds out the real reason as to why Wellington’s owner’s husband left as he was one of Chris’s main suspects. He finds out that his mother was having an affair with him. So when Christopher goes to find the book he finds the stack of letters - “One other possibility was that Father had hidden my book somewhere in the house.” -. All this leads to his change because if it wasn’t for his realization that his mother was alive he would have stayed and nothing would have differed. It is what leads to Christopher wanting to find his mother, and on this journey he experiences new danger and he learns how to cope with the real world. I believe the finding of the letters is very important as it helps the readers to sympathize with Christopher it also makes you sad especially because he is autistic and cannot understand why his father would lie to him.

This change is a positive and uplifting change of self for the protagonist in this novel.

In the story “Happy Endings” the author Margaret Atwood gives 6 scenarios in alphabetical order from A to F of how a couples life could play out over the span of their lives. In these six scenarios Atwood uses satire to emphasize how interchangeable and simple each couples life is. In this story Atwood uses character, style, and point of view to chastise the desire for the everyday common life and the concern for only the “whats” in life and not “how or why”.
