Analysis Of 'Jasper's House'
SCENE 4 (Jasper’s House)(Dining table)
Mr. Dekker: I’ve heard that you and Madeline are having problems. Is that true? (Jasper does not answer) Our company and her father’s would be merging soon. I hope you would not do anything stupid to jeopardize that.
Mrs. Dekker: Your son is smart. He would not do something that he knows is wrong.
Mr. Dekker: I hope so. Son! I’ve talked with Coach Durham. He said that you have been working rough this season. What’s happening? Are you taking this seriously?
Jasper: I am taking this seriously. My life does not revolve in playing basketball, Dad.
Mr. Dekker: You better take this seriously or else you would not be able to play college ball!
Mrs. Dekker: Stop it! Can we please just have a nice meal and not

Madeline (as Lizzie)'Is it really me?'
James (as Starbuck, hamming): 'Yes. You're-you're b-bbeautiful.'
(The two are close to each other and they were seen by Jasper) (Madeline turns away)
Madeline: Hey. What are you doing here? (Madeline walks toward Jasper)
(Jasper just hugs Madeline and cried on her shoulder) (James is left staring at them)
Jasper: Is it okay if I just stay here for a while? I just can’t stand my Dad.
Madeline: Of course. Whatever you need. I’ll get you something to eat.
(Madeline Exit)
Jasper: Hey. You look like a decent guy but I’m telling you now. Don’t take advantage of her. She’s mine.
James: You’re one to talk. She’s yours now but won’t be for long. You and I both know that in the end the person you’ll end up hurting most is you. I’m surprise she still doesn’t know the truth.
(Madeline Enters)
James to Madeline: I’m sorry to do this but I have to go. My mom is looking for me.
Madeline: oh? It’s okay. Let’s just continue this some other time.
(James hugs Madeline while James and Jasper are staring at each other)

She’s suspecting something. She called me just before you got here. I know her and she knows me. It’s not long before she figures this out. I love you. I’m in love with you, I have tried to kill it to run away from it but I can’t and I don’t want to anymore. You have to choose between us. To whom does your heart really belongs?
Jasper: What happened with us was just a mistake. I’m finally happy with her again. I don’t want to ruin everything. She’s still unstable and she’s just starting to recover I’m afraid of what she might do. There’s another problem, somehow James knows something about what’s been going on.
Bria: How come he knows something? He just moved here. I know that what we did and what we’re doing is wrong. It wasn’t my intention to fall for you. You’re my best friend’s boyfriend for god sake. You were there for me when I needed you. Do you know how hard it is watching someone you love, love someone else? Is it just that easy for you to leave me?
Jasper: Yes! Because I don’t think I ever stopped loving Madeline. You gave me mixed signals and I was too dumb to for fall it. I love her, Bria and I’m willing to do anything to keep her. I’m sorry Bria but I chose her. I will always choose

    Jasper Jones Prac Body

    • 348 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Jasper Jones has to deal with Laura’s death in a way that makes him not only regretful, but also makes him somewhat blame himself for it. His admirable traits, being his compassion and fire, show that he is willing to walk with his head held high and carry on with his life despite the conflict he has within. Conflict within in the community makes him initially been seen as a rebellious thief, as in the first chapters he is said to be, “a Thief, a Liar, a Thug, a Truant. He’s lazy and unreliable. He’s a feral and an orphan, or as good as. He is an example of where poor aptitude and attitude will lead”. These “labels” that are put on him by society, and the way that Jasper proves himself to be otherwise, makes him an admirable character and represents those who are marginalized in society.…

    She moved to Ohio where her job was. They stayed behind and lived in Minneapolis with his grandmother. Then he moved here. He said I’ve never lived in a different state from my kids. We talked a while about my son and I. Then he told me he had a girlfriend. They met in college and fell in love. Now they live in different states. He said, “I don’t think this long distance relationship is working for me. I told her I did not feel we should continue to see each other.” I asked, “So what did she say?” He continued “She said just give it more time.” After a moment of silence, he took my hand and said, “We’ve worked together for years and you have always stayed in my corner. I feel you’re the only family I have here.” I smiled and thought well that good to hear. I’ll help you out when I can. The next day we were at work and he was taking out the trash. I was doing my paperwork. A woman who worked with us liked him a lot. She walked up and asked me why are you keeping your relationship a secret. You and James are a couple.

    Everything since then has been about reasons and that’s good. That means that one day, I’ll find someone I won’t say good bye to. But.. But a part of me just misses someone; and having them love you back. That’s all. I guess what I’m saying is, I hope things are great with you. I hope everything is great. I hope everything is great. I hope you found a love that’s all the things ours couldn’t be. Just a small part of me hopes that you’ll still remember what it was like before all the reasons and that you miss me too.…
