Trying To Get Along With Her Father

For example, in the play “The Watsons Go to Birmingham” the character Kenny has an attitude of being sad. A quote that supports this is when it said,”Two hot dogs, please,” Byron said.” “You go round back if you want something to eat,” Waitress said. Kenny runs out in fear.” This shows that Kenny’s attitude is sadness because when he smelled the hot dogs and really wanted one he was forced to go around the back of the building if he wanted one. This caused him to feel sad and left out since he and his friend couldn’t get lunch like the others. As he does this he doesn’t try to make things better and try to fix it but instead he gives up and leaves the restaurant. In the passage “Don’t Give Up The Fight” it showed the character Ava, to have the attitude of not giving up and persevering. A quote that supports this is when it said,” Okay…” I muttered. I was scared but determined.” This quote shows perseverance because even though she is scared that the others are going to continue to mock and neglect her, she still is going to move on and not care what others think. This is different from Kenny’s attitude since Kenny ran out of the diner showing that he wasn’t going to try for his lunch and equal rights, and gave up. Ava’s perseverance and strength to go on in hard times is key in her

The poem “To her father with some verses” by Anne Bradstreet details a women’s attempt to show praise for her father while being unable repay him all that he has done for her. The first thing that initially hits the reader is the tone of the poem. The first few lines paint an overall sad atmosphere that continually engulfs the reader as the poem continues. The conclusion fo the poem leaves the reader in a depressed state knowing that no matter what the women in the poem does, she can never repay what her father has done for her.

Before she sings the lyrics, the clip is shown in black and white, and she is frowning. The colour black
