Very colorful describing how Frankie’s feeling and the scenery around her. Humid wanting to stay home from the heat,distancing herself from social group.
Frankie- 12 years old, antisocial, tedious, mean, afraid, lonely and stubborn. Stated before “This is the summer when for a long time she has not been a member” now she’s a part of the wedding of her brother, a member. Someone's who wants to stay out of trouble, and her solution was to stay home and be tedious.
Page 2 Berenice points out “ You jealous,” said Berenice. She see frankie as someone who's jealous because her brother is getting married and is in love. Page 10 John claim “ You smell sweet” to Frankie. John reconquize frankie as a clean person who does not smell badly as others suggested. Page 22 suggest Frankie as a “great big long-legged 12 year old who still wants to sleep with her old papa.” Her father see frankie who’s tall and at a pre-teen age still wanting to sleep with

I know it’s third person limited due to the facts that the author expresses how frankie’s feeling and thoughts rather the other characters. On the other hands, uses the terms “she, they and ect.” The narration point of view help me to understand Frankie’s character by mainly focusing on her, her internal feelings and shows Frankie’s perspective into view.
The language of the story in my perspective is formal, suitable to the facts that most of the sentences from part 1 are complex, and add specific meaning to the writing. All seriousness, no humor, and it's not filled with metaphors. The were recurring images, Frankie’s keeps dreaming about Alkasa, mainly about the snow. Happened in page 4 and repeats itself in page 10. Also, thinking about her secret trouble, being a criminal, committed a queer sin and leaving this town but don't know where to go. This reveal that the character likes to flashback to what has happened and looking forward to what may not

    Irene’s self-esteem not only continues to deteriorate, but displays of internalized racism begin to present themselves through illogical thought and irrationality. Irene describes Brian in the same way she does Clare as, “extremely good-looking” (Larsen 77). Irene, does not view herself as “good-looking”, therefore she believes herself unworthy of Brian an “extremely good-looking” man, so she assumes Brian and Clare are engaging in an affair. Despite assurances from Brian that he does not view Clare as “extraordinarily beautiful”, Irene remains convinced that they have engaged in…

    From the outset, Priestley uses Mrs Birling’s persona to create an unlikeable character, a woman who is described as ‘cold’ in the stage directions, displaying the attitudes she will show in the opening scene. Her attitude to class is shown by her cynical comment – ‘a girl of that class’ – a comment which implies her awareness of her social superiority. This shows the way in which she looks down upon the character of Eva Smith. Similarly, her dismissive attitude towards lower class people is demonstrated by her careful concern for social etiquette and manners. She shows disgust at Sheila’s use of colloquial language, for instance, when Sheila refers to Eric as ‘squiffy’, Mrs Birling is seemingly outraged. This suggests that she would not want to be associated with the dialect used by those of a lower social status. Her character is shown to feel a need to impress Gerald due to his upper class heritage and parenting. This could be represented by her embarrassment when Mr Birling congratulates the cook and tells him off for discussing business. This indicates that she doesn’t want Gerald to get the impression that she or her family would act in such a way.…

    In The Member of the Wedding, Carson McCullers strictly focuses on the main character, twelve-year-old Frankie Jasmine Addams. This novel outlines the coming of age of Frankie Addams, and shows the evolution of her self-image. Frankie, as any normal preteen with self-esteem issues, continuously doubts herself throughout the story. She feels as if she is a member of nothing in the world, she belongs to nothing, and no one wants her to belong. Although it seems that Frankie has always felt this way, this was the summer that she began to feel she was not a member, and on the last Friday of August, it had all changed. As Frankie continues to struggle with this lost feeling, she takes drastic measures to force herself into belonging in the town where she lived with her father, her housekeeper, and her cousin. These actions include changing her name several times, stealing knives, the mishap with Barney, and the incident with the soldier at The Blue Moon. The only thing that Frankie believes she belongs to is her brother, Jarvis, and his fiancé, Janice, and their wedding. She constantly says, "They are the we of me", and she plans to leave home with them after the wedding in Winter Hill. Frankie Addams continues with her self-conscious thoughts and feelings while she matures and finds her place in the world.…

    Frankie has reached the awkward stage in her life where she fears she will become a freak and fears she does not fit in anywhere. Disconnected and alone, “[Frankie] belonged to no club and was a member of nothing in the world. Frankie had become an unjoined person… and was afraid” (1). Frankie’s disconnectedness creates an eagerness for her to find some belonging in her life. At twelve, the margins of childhood and teenage years, Frankie is in the uncomfortable state of becoming. The girls she played with last summer are now too old and will not let her join their club. Frankie is very upset and angry with those girls and often spies on them. The fact that Frankie spends most of her time with her older housekeeper and six year old cousins throughout the summers shows us just how disconnected she happens to be from any children her own age. The author states, “And what would be a lady who is over nine feet high? She would be a Freak” (19). Frankie, an awkward looking girl certainly is afraid of being a Freak. She does not seem to fit in with anyone so she worried that she might end up being a Freak and become a member of the Freak House. This shows just how fearful Frankie reveals herself to be toward being alone and not fitting in. Due to her struggle with fitting in and after hearing about her brother’s upcoming wedding, she latches onto the idea of becoming part of the…
