The first thing you should know about Dean is that he is a 16 year old, and that he is a junior in High School. Dean is the protagonist

using metaphor, assonance, and imagery. The Eagles use rhythmic patterns in their lyrics that further portrays the main characters feelings before and after he has to compensate. When The Eagles sing, “She got the mercedes bends/She got a lot of pretty, pretty, boys that she calls friends,” this connects the two sentences to help the listener further understand how the main character noticed the odd quirks about the situations and actions of his peers (line 30).The use of assonance provides a more indepth

important theme that is apparent in the novel is that in the face of death, humans can and will do anything to survive. Another theme that is stressed in this novel is that anything can be overcome if you have the will and determination to survive.

audience would react. I attended the play Tartuffe, by Moliere, directed by Scott Shattuck, on Tuesday, October 3, 2017. As the play started, it had a great start, the only issue I had was after Madame Pernelle busted in the door with the other characters in dialogue with her. They all had a low voice and I didn’t hear what they were saying.

In literature, the exploration of gender is a common trope. Gender roles and their implications on a character and their development can shape a novel and how it is received, and ultimately read, by the reader. The Waiting Years by Fumiko Enchi immediately opens by subtly influencing the reader in regards to its main character. The reader is swiftly introduced to the conflict between the character of Tomo and the cultural conventions, and thus, expectations of her gender. Enchi skillfully brings the

to look away from the screen. Its characters demonstrated that people seek revenge for the things they find valuable to maintain or gain power. The title and the most repeated phrase in the song does not directly correspond to the song`s message. Rihanna used the scenario of someone owing her money to signify power and revenge. As one can see from all of the insane scenes in the video, that it is about going after what you want no matter what. The main character was completely focused on getting

are predominantly used to reflect the internal thoughts of primary characters. Shakespeare used these to express how a character was feeling and to create a sense of dramatic irony. This is highly evident in King Lear, as Edmund illustrates his thoughts to the audience using these inner contemplations.
