The way princes “ran off with parlormaids” suggests a juvenile love that forms when parents and society disapproves of it which generates a little drama to the reader before Larson begins to give more examples of different affairs. The manner in which “bank presidents seduced typewriters” offers more mature prospect and “seduced” denotes a more surreptitious, more serious relationship to add more tension. By adding “when necessary” and projecting a final example of an affair, Larson displays how enticing and potentially risky these involvements are, even to people considered rational and professional like attorneys and doctors, to amplify the building drama. The parallelism of the list of scandalous affairs emphasizes Larson’s word choice of how Holmes “reveled” in his “possession” of a secluded woman in a faux innocuous affair demonstrates how Julia was just a mere toy to him that belongs to him “as if she were an antebellum slave” for his amusement and use which elevates the tensions the reader feels

Amari is a 15-year-old African American from the peaceful village, Ziavi; “Amari loved the rusty brown dirt of Ziavi. The path, hard-packed from thousands of bare feet that had trod on it for decades, was flanked on both sides by fat, fruit-laden mango trees, the sweet smell of which always seemed to welcome her home.” (Chapter 1, p.2) Amari is a doubtful character that gains courage through her awful hardships. In the beginning of the book she is captured as a slave when her village was attacked and set ablaze. Her humanity was taken away by being captured.

Slaves citizenship was also oppressed; they were only considered property or 3/5th of a person, according to the 3/5ths compromise which

Sarty’s betrayal is an act of strength because it shows how he develops in the story to finally be able to break free from the bonds of his childhood, and act on his own accord. After Abner was forced to leave town for burning down someone’s barn, Sarty begins to reflect on his father’s behavior before the fire ever happened. His father in a wave of anger had hit Sarty “...divulging nothing to him save the terrible handicap of being young, the light weight of his few years, just heavy enough to prevent his soaring free of the world as it seemed to be ordered but not heavy enough to keep him footed solid in it, to resist it and try to change the course of its events.” (Faulkner, 9) This quotes is suggesting that Sarty feels he is too young to

Author also surprises readers, when he introduces conflict between a couple that used to love each other deeply. Diverting the story from love to betrayal, author develops an irony. In the story, reader sees two examples of betrayal. Ms. Maloney, while talking with her tired husband, finds out her husband no longer want to keep their marriage. Without giving any kind of reason, Patrick betrays her wife with a decision of breaking marriage. Mary shocks, when her husband, boldly, says, “ This is going to be bit shock of you”(P. Maloney) Author creates a total opposite picture of Patrick by describing him as a husband who used to give her wife surprises; he is now giving her shock in the middle of her pregnancy. Mary, who was previously shown as “anxiety less”(Dahl), with “a slow smiling air”(Dahl) and “curiously tranquil”(Dahl), had began to get upset and now inculcate her eye with a “bewildered look.” After betrayed by her husband, she, without any argue, she goes to the basement to look for frozen food. She decides to have leg of a lamb as a last dinner with her husband, but she smashes the frozen leg in to Patrick’s head with killing him. Mary betrays her husband by killing him and takes revenge of her betrayal. Later, Author confirms her as a murdered with the statement of “I’ve killed him”(Mary) from her own lips. Dahl, in the story,

The purpose of this essay is to correlate the theme of three different stories that had been read. I decided to choose the stories “Good Country People”, “Hills Like White Elephants”, and “The Storm.” I believe that the theme across these stories is to beware of the wolf in sheep clothing. In these stories, there was an antagonist that posed as a protagonist who even though their intentions may have looked well skin deep, the underlying intentions against the main character were not of good intent. I will describe certain situations in each of the three stories that show the theme I have noted.

In the novel, The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, betrayal takes place in many situations and it is almost always followed by forgiveness.

The involvement of a family member with the previously misjudged character directly causes each heroine’s fallout of sorts with her future husband, who will henceforth be referred to as the hero. Catherine’s brother James becomes involved with Isabella before she is known to be such a determined flirt, but when she all but abandons him for Captain Tilney, it becomes known to General Tilney that Catherine’s family is not as rich as formerly supposed, and this results in

Frances Ward Weller is endeavoring to show brotherhood, betrayal, and the passing of friendship in his quote “A friend can tell you things you don’t want to tell yourself”. Weller’s quote is saying how even though you may see or feel a change within yourself it’s always good to have a close peer that has an introspective view on your flaws and could help you for the greater good. Some people it is common that they’re obscure of their flaws and may not have a peer who is able to make a difference before it turns into something worse. In the novel That Was Then, This Is Now, the author S.E Hinton is trying to accentuate how over elapse time friendships can start to change and have an amiable outcome or can become formidable.
