    Cloudstreet Critical Analysis

    Winton uses the Toby’s character as a vehicle for the idea that the middle classes are inept physically and psychologically, compared to working classes. This is particularly shown through Toby’s lack of ability to drive; “… he couldn’t exactly drive”, whilst Quick shoots, fishes, drives trucks and boats. Toby is represented as pretentious, and he uses other people’s stories because he lacks his own creativity to be his own writer. Through positioning Toby in a negative light, readers see the middle class stereotype of intellect as false, and Quick, who represents the working classes, is positioned in a positive light, to make readers realize that they could be more capable physically and psychologically. To understand this completely, the context of production is crucial; at the time there was an ever increasing participation rate in tertiary education, and education was seen as a status and glory, whilst Winton, through his characters, neglects this idea and suggest that being closely amongst your family and in tune with nature is more important to self-realization and improvement than formal…

    Lord Of The Flies Critical Lens

    Characterization is the combination of all the things and author does to create the personality of a character in a piece of literature. For example, throughout the story, the read learns a lot about the character of Jack. We learn that he is a very determined young boy. He does not like to give up when he fails; he likes to keep going until he is successful. In the beginning of the novel, Ralph, Jack, and Simon come across a pig and Jack wants to kill it for meat. Jack attempts to kill it and fails, but he becomes very determined to kill one before they left the island. During chapter three, entitled "Huts on the Beach," Jack is once again not successful in the killing of the pig and becomes sad all over again. He stabs the pig but is unable to kill it. Throughout chapter seven, the boys are still trying to hunt down the pig but he gets away, once again. Finally, during chapter eight, the pig is finally killed. Jack becomes determined and awfully savage, killing the pig with his boys after torturing him continuously. (page 138) This proves the quote is valid because it shows that Jack kept failing along with the other boys, and his characteristic of determination kept him going until he learned from it and…

    Stereotypes Of Miss Emily Brent

    A stereotype is a widely held, oversimplified image of a particular type of person. The rich kid, the harsh judge, the selfish butler, the cruel militant, and the prim older lady are some of the well known stereotypes featured in And Then There Were None. Miss Emily Brent is one of the stock characters because she is described as “the prim older lady” in various situations by many different characters.
