    Secret Life of Bees Literary Analysis and mini summary

    Who Is Responsible In To Kill A Mockingbird Chapter 2-3

    First off, the Ewell family is irresponsible. For example, Burris does not know how to spell his name. As stated in the text, “Don’t know how. They call me Burris’t home” (Lee 35). Burris did not even know how to spell his own name. This shows that his caretakers are irresponsible. Another reason that they are irresponsible is because they only go to school the first day. As the novel explains, “They come first day every year and then leave...You’re supposed to mark ‘em absent the rest of the year…” (Lee 36). Going to school only one day a year also shows irresponsible caretakers. They do not care if their children get an education. The last reason why the Ewell family is irresponsible is because they do not have a mother. As the text says, “Ain’t got no mother…” (Lee 36). Without a mother, the children may not have anyone to teach them the important necessities they need to learn if their dad does not. If they had a mother, she might have taught them to be responsible. Secondly, the Ewell family is dirty. For example, Burris had cooties. As the novel explains, “The cootie’s host showed not the faintest interest in the furor he had wrought” (Lee 34). Burris was not phased by the cooties. He was so dirty he was used to it. Another reason they are dirty is when Burris did not know why his teacher told him to use soap. As the text states, “...I want you to go home and wash your hair with lye soap...what fer missus?” (Lee 35). Burris did not understand why she would want him to wash himself. He was constantly this dirty, he did not know better. The last reason why the Ewell family was dirty was because his whole body was dirty. As the text explains, “He was the filthiest human I had ever seen. His neck was dark gray, the backs of his hands were rusty, and his fingernails were black deep into the quick” (Lee 35). Burris is an extremely dirty boy. He is always dirty because he does…

    Lou Gehrig Analysis

    “When you have a wonderful mother-in-law who take sides with you in squabbles with her own daughter – that’s something”. Most mother-in-laws take sides with their own daughter or son in an argument. But for Gehrig’s occasion, she would take sides with him. This proved that he must have had something special that made his wife’s mother like him more than their kid. Obviously, Lou can appreciate the fact that he had an extremely caring mother in law because that meant something to him.…

    Family Issues in Ordinary People

    The film Ordinary People main focus is on Conrad’s family issues. Many conflicts in the novel slowly destroy Conrad’s family. This raises the issue of Conrad trying to commit suicide. The major theme that defines this novel is healing. Calvin and Beth Jarrett, are both high middle class white parents living in the suburbs. They go out and party a ton ever since the devastating lost of their oldest son Buck, in a boating accident. This brings a negative vibe to the family, which is why Conrad and Kelvin start to attend a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist Dr. Berger convinces Conrad and Calvin to make them express exactly how they feel. The issues that the Jarrett family faces, contradicts the film’s title of them being an ordinary family. Once Conrad was released from the hospital, he gave the audience the message that he was not ready for the world. He was not ready to become independent and it was very difficult for him to let go off his past. Now was his chance to catch up with friends, and a swimming team to participate in. Although life at home was slowly recuperating, Conrad’s parents would leave the house to help clear their minds from their son’s death. Calvin would leave parties slightly drunk and so would Beth. The purpose at the end of the day was to have a fantastic time and to develop happiness to themselves. In the film there were flashbacks that always lead to a symbolism in the film. Conrad had so many nightmares he had to attend the psychiatrist Dr. Berger. It got to the point that Calvin had to join him too. Dr. Berger is considered a symbolism in the film because he is the analyzer of the family. He put’s a lot of effort trying to solve the problems that were involved with the Jarrett’s. He created solutions for Conrad and Calvin to release their thoughts that were never spoken. Another symbolism is a text to world connection. At one point of the film The Jarrett’s go to visit Beth’s mother and father for thanksgiving. After a intense argument…

    Ma Joad in John Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath

    With the use of the literary technique, direct description, Steinbeck describes Ma's physical appearance. He describes her as, "heavy, but not fast; thick with childbearing and work." "Her thin, steel gray hair was gathered in a spore wispy knot at the back of her head." He describes her arms as, "freckled" and "bare to the elbow" and "her hands as "chubby and delicate, like those of a plump little girl." With the use of portrayal of characters, Steinbeck presents the actions and speech of Ma, allowing the reader to draw his own conclusion from what MA says or does. Throughout the novel, Ma's face showed that it is controlled and kindly. She is the strength of the family and she always uses her emotions for her family's benefit. Her family didn't feel anything she didn't feel. If she felt fear, the family did too. "Since old Tom and the children could not know hurt or fear unless she acknowledged hurt and fear, she had practiced denying them in herself." She always kept calm in front of the family because she knew if she showed fear, she would lose control of the family. She also knows her family inside and out. She knows the inner need of each member of the family. She knows if Pa is defeated, the family will collapse so she makes sure he doesn't. She knows how Rose of Sharon is troubled by her pregnancy. She knows Tom has a quiet strength. She knows Al doesn't know how to deal with responsibility, and she doesn't criticize Uncle John's alcohol problem. Ma is the battery of the family in that she keeps it running.…

    Monologue on To Kill a Mockingbird

    She deserved it, every last swing of the baton! As I hit each bud, it felt as if I was using all my force to get rid of each criticism that had been thrown at our family. We’ve put up with a lot from her over the last months and today I couldn’t control myself. Mrs Dubose has often said that since our mama died, we have not been raised properly and she blames Atticus, whereas to us he’s been an ideal father and when she criticised Atticus this last time it was just too much. With Tom’s Trial, I knew that what Atticus was doing was right, but the way Mrs Dubose sees it is that he is going against his upbringing. I don’t know why she can’t understand that it’s the job of a lawyer to support the law and it doesn’t matter who it concerns. Anyway, I am glad I did what I did, but now I’m worried in case Atticus doesn’t see it my way. (Becomes more thoughtful, slows down) He’s normally so reasonable but this time I’m not sure how he’ll respond. The last thing I want to do is to make him embarrassed or unhappy. Actually, I think he’ll be mad that I didn’t remember his words and treat Mrs Dubose with courtesy. To tell the truth, I just lost my temper and I acted without proper consideration of the consequences. (Sighing and shaking his head) I am sure that Atticus will be disappointed.…
