Yellow Ribbon Short Story

Within Many novels we encounter multiple messages, to help us grow and mature. Specifically in the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, we learn that it is important to consider other people's perspective, situations, and choices. Starting from Boo Radley's isolation away from the town of Maycomb, because of what has happened to him in the past. To Atticus’ choice to treat everyone as an equal by deciding to help a black man, and treat them all the same. And lastly, the Cunningham's life style, as they are farmers who don't gain a lot of money, and are seen as lower class people.

Each chapter has a different theme to teach the reader. Every chapter ends with a paragraph stating the lesson of the chapter. Although there were so many lessons, there was a few that stood out to me and were repeated a few times. One of the major themes of the book is that even if you are faced with a setback in life, whether it is an injury, grades, or a life or death situation, you have to fight through it and always think positively. If you think positively, take your time, and not rush the situation, you will eventually get through it. Another theme is that if you want to be the best at something, it takes hard work and dedication. When you want to be good at something you can just all of a sudden be good at it, you have to set goals and work for it. You have to set one goal, reach that, and make another goal to reach. Eventually, with dedication, you will make it to where you want to

(HOOK) The characters that are present in short stories can leave an imprint on one’s vision of literature for an eternity. (CI) These memorable characters have made an impact on the way I view literature, primarily because of the way that I have been able to relate to them. (GS1) One character is a powerful, but envious princess. (GS2) Another is an abandoned orphan who seeks for love and companionship through his honesty and openness. (GS3) A final character shows her aptitude for her passions, but often finds herself quarreling with those that are closest to her. (GS4) When I read the stories involving these characters, I see myself in their places. (GS5) I relate to a multitude of their traits and characteristics, whether they are positive or negative. (THESIS STATEMENT) I can best relate to the short story fictional characters of (I) the princess in Frank. R Stockton’s “The Lady, or the Tiger?”, (II) Jerry in Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings’s “A Mother in Mannville”, and (III) Waverly Jong in Amy Tan’s “Rules of the Game.”

Calpurnia, Miss Maudie, and Atticus teach valuable lessons to Scout about how to treat other people, to accept different perspectives, and to maintain self-control; furthermore, these lessons Scout learns are still useful since they can be taught to some people today who experience

The second lesson that I took away from this novel is that in this society that it was okay for families to take in strangers and give them a roof over their head which not many people would do in today’s society which is a major difference in how many people look at taking in others now. The last lesson that I took away was that many men were still willing to fight for their city and where they called home even if it was all lost to the war. Remembering Aizu had many lessons in which could be taught from it because there are so many representations of honor, society, and major political problems

In the novel A Lesson Before Dying by Ernest J. Gaines there are many themes and motifs to be taught. A reader could acquire so much knowledge from reading this book but if anything they will learn the most important lesson to learn before dying. The most important lesson to learn before dying is that everybody can make a difference in life. Three characters that learned this lesson includes Vivian, when she helped Grant when he was having hard times, Grant Wiggins, when he knew that he accomplished his goal which was helping Jefferson regain his humanity and Jefferson, when he realizes himself that he has much more potential than a hog.

In a society where hardships occur daily, it is vital to have something to hold on to as an anchor. This reliance or commitment is in the form of friends, family, or even tangible possessions; however, humans sometimes have to fulfill deeds for others instead of continually thinking of themselves. Given these obligations, there results both a need and a desire to complete certain tasks for other individuals, for a community, or even for a higher power. In his novel, A Lesson Before Dying, Ernest Gaines quite successfully portrays the theme of the importance of obligation and commitment through presenting an effective setting and community, constructing strong relationships between characters, and providing

In the novel The Princess Bride there are many lessons that are to be learned as there are in many other fairy tales. The authors, such as William Goldman, put these lessons in the book so the readers can learn them and become better people. William Goldman’s novel The Princess Bride shows multiple life lessons that Nifty Lance covers in his writing about in 11 Content Lessons I Learned From The Princess Bride. There are five lessons from his eleven that I have found most applicable in life. The five lessons can apply to multiple people in very difficult scenarios, where they find themselves incapable of handling it.

In the story “The Lesson” by Toni Cade Bambara, the characters Sylvia, Sugar, and Mercedes are different in their personalities, behavior, and the way they decide to handle the lesson taught by Mrs. Moore, but alike by all living in poverty and having a positive elder as Mrs. Moore, to teach them the lesson.

"No matter who tries to teach you lessons about life, you won't understand it until you go through it on your own." Lessons are an important part of everyday life. They help people learn through tough times or teach them how to avoid terrible situations. Lessons can be passed down from adults to their children, or other important people in their lives.

patience,loss,anger,love,relationship,guilt and time. The three lessons that I felt the closest were loss,anger and time. However I choose these three not because of how much they are related to me in the novel, but because the lessons in the novel really move your opinion on this topic and these three moved me a lot and made me think every about certain things. The novel talks about time and then lesson of the time beings with the author saying that "Our lives are governed by time. We live by it and in it. And of course, we die in it." (Pg.97). This statement really is what sums up life it's true we are ruled by time time is

Another example of one such lesson is Dad’s white shirt- “Could he have seen it? Could he have seen what Erick did?”. Paul’s dad didn’t see how costly was his investment was. Mr. Fisher had invested everything in the Erick Fisher Football Dream. He had nothing to lose and everything to gain. Why would he tell stop to Erick? That would mean that he would lose everything he had. Paul’s dad chose to blind to what bad things that Erick has done, rather than have the dream and everything else crash on his head. He was too ignorant and blind to see that Erick was failing and that he spent all his time on Erick. If he had to pay a little more attention to Paul, Paul would have easily been able to go to professional soccer. Throughout the blindness of Paul’s dad, we learn two important lessons: Don’t be too blind to see that our investment is failing and need to be fixed. Now that we explore two types of seeing: fantasy and willing be blind, what other types of seeing wait to

The first lesson that I read from the book is when Phillip had first gotten Lass and she had pretty much just been mistreated all of her life up to that point. She felt scared and unaware of where she was going and what was going to happen

It gives many lessons, I could recite them easily.. It could mean do not always push people to do things they do not want to do. A person can only handle so much, like Kate and her leukemia how she was ready to go, but her mom was not ready to let go I learned that family is everything. Family is there for you all of the time even through the tough times. The most important lesson that I have learned from reading this would be not to take family for granted. I will not always have my family here, they could die at any second. I have to always tell them I love them because at one point in my life I will not get to see them anymore. If I do not tell them I love you then one day something is going to happen to them and I am going to regret not telling my family anything.
