The Movie Starts Off With Ree Dolly

Surprisingly, though, Ian finds her as well, after searching for her - and he thinks its Kaeleigh - and says they have to leave right away. Raeanne, still confused, believes it is about Kaeleigh, and her dying, until she starts to remember that she is Kaeleigh - but where is Raeanne? Suddenly, it comes flashing back to her that Raeanne died in the car accident so long ago.

The plot begins as a young woman and her family are vacationing at an upper class resort, during the summer. We are introduced to the character “Baby” and her family, including her father who is a successful doctor, and very protective over his young daughter. Other characters in the film include Johnny, a dancer who teaches dancing at the resort and even competes, with his female partner,

Individuals may feel a sense of loss, where they are encouraged to rediscover something about themselves and essentially, gain a new understanding of themselves and those around them. Through the sexual assault scene, we establish that Dolly has lost all the innocence she once endured. As a result of this loss, she matures and transforms into who she becomes. This is shown through Harrison’s use of symbolism. When Dolly’s clothes are stripped off her, this shows essentially the stripping away of her innocence. From this we see that she is no longer a young girl, but a woman. We see this in the the way she defies Jungi. Through Dolly’s discovery and transformation, her emotional state is threatened, thus causing her ultimate change. This concept of Dolly’s loss of innocence transforming into a growth of maturity implies that growth is compulsory as a result of a loss or significant event in an individual's life.

This presentation will offer an overview of the plot and circumstances of the film, and one of the main characters, Shelby Eatenton.

She was lied to by her whole family and this affects Dolly’s character in that it leads to trust issues and a negative coping mechanism of alcoholism and promiscuity, “The second oldest sister, the one who made me feel like rubbish all my life, that one was my mother.” The way both of these women have been shaped by the trauma they each underwent influences how they perceive people.

Though there is conflict among many of the Dolly clan’s members, loyalty never falters. The Dolly’s even purposefully naming the men, “Milton, Haslam, Arthur or Jessup.” (62) to thwart law enforcers. Jessop’s snitching was a detrimental betrayal to the family dynamic, which even Ree understands. Though her father told the truth about his relatives misconduct, she feels ashamed by his actions, stating “Snitchin’ just goes against everything.” (149). Ree is emotional upon her father’s disappearance, recalling on the, “...many long days and longer nights”

She believes that she is different and stronger than the other Dollys because she does not succumb to the family craft of cooking meth. She rejects her family’s practice, but still respects them because she is bound to her family’s traditions. For someone who grew up knowing the intensity of winter, Ree dressed completely inappropriately. She wears a short dress and a ragged, old coat from her grandmother from decades ago. The jacket symbolizes her family’s rough past that has been pushed onto Ree as she is forced to just accept it. The coat is described as “buttonless” and “open” foreshadowing that her fate as a troubled Dolly is not closed, but instead, it is open for Ree to chose her destination. The foreshadowing continues as it is described that this ragged coat, symbolizing her family’s burden literally on her shoulders, does not hamper her chopping the wood. This is showing how her unstable family will not stop her from living her life and achieving her goals. In the film adaptation by Debra Granik parallels the same scene. As Ree chops the wood, she wears her

It’s important we take a look at the characters. Dolly or La doll is a primary character in the novel mentioned in “A to B”. She is first depicted as someone high in her career only motivated by money from the start. She experiences a downfall after she agrees to work with a client the general. He is an ex-dictator with a very colorful past and attempting to escape execution for his war crimes. She also has the poor relationship with her currently younger daughter at the time. This is all seen in chapter 8 “selling the general”. It is later known that dolly is doing what she must not for the greed of money. It becomes clear later she is instead working in order to keep her daughter Lulu living a decent life. She is desperate for money because she needs to keep Lulu in private school.

The family stops at a restaurant to get a bite to eat, and we find out that the two parents, Bailey and his wife, do not really care for the Grandmother. The Grandmother asks Bailey to dance, but he just declines and ignores her. Bailey’s wife does not seem to care either. They then continue on the road, and the Grandmother begins to tell the story of a house that she really enjoyed passing. She really wanted to go there, so she persuaded the children to want to go as well. After a long time of complaining, they finally convince their father to head back toward this house. They go down this road when all
