Books In The Dugout House Analysis
The books in the dugout house is the only item that caught my attention; it seems strange to me how someone living in a dugout would have books in their custody. It really means more than just a book shelf to me; it signifies that knowledge seeking has always been an essential activity in the society regardless of the situation and circumstances. I think with this evidence or proof, one can easily draw an inference from the book-shelf in the dugout that teachers have come a long way; because I see no other way a person would learn to read or write without the aid of a teacher either formal or

    In Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury, the main character, Guy Montag, has many different shifts in attitude and thinking. Montag goes from being a mindless, government-operated drone, to a self-sustaining, enlightened thinker. In the beginning of Fahrenheit 451, we are introduced to Montag, a fireman who makes fires instead of putting them out. He sees burning as a pleasure, and he hates books. However, once he meets Clarisse McClellan, his mind begins to blossom like a flower. Therefore, Montag’s ideological progression truly started when he met Clarisse.…

    My favorite section of Fahrenheit 451 is the beginning because it is so mysterious. Clarisse acted so creepy and mysterious in the way Guy just stumbled upon her out back of the fire station. She would talk in such a weird way that it confused Guy. She would look at things positively and it really made Guy think. Clarisse opened Guy up and made him realize the beauty of…

    As I read Nella Larsen’s book the Quicksand, I was intrigued by her character of Helga Crane and everything she experienced in the book. There are several references back to what was going on for a young woman who was a bi-racial child, not just black or white. Also as I read the book, I was struck by the psychological undertone of this book. Helga Crane, not only had to deal with trying to figure out where she fits in society, but also seemed to be slightly unstable and that affected how she looked at the world around her.…

    Grapes of Wrath Analysis

    • 4 Pages

    Over the years, some Americans claimed that John Steinbeck’s novel “Grapes of Wrath is very dirty and blasphemous. They also believe that this novel should not be read nor discussed in a high school environment. On the other hand, there are critics, such as myself that believe Steinbeck wrote one of the finest pieces in the 20th century. This book can changes lives and easily influence a student’s future. Therefore, I strongly agree that “Grapes of Wrath” should be read in high schools, because it thoroughly details a vivid picture of a migrant family’s lifestyle during the Great Depression Era , help readers establish a sense of gratitude for the life they where blessed with, and help set powerful morals.…

    Here in his writing, Kozol shares his experiences with students and teachers while visiting Fremont High School in Los Angeles, California. From the beginning, Kozol set the mood for the piece by describing the lackluster conditions of the buildings. He described the lack of sufficient classroom space by saying that "nearly a third of all the classrooms in the school, were located in portables...took place in converted storage closets" (Kozol 641). By beginning his written tour of this school with these vivid descriptions, Kozol instantly placed me inside both the school and a depressing atmosphere.…

    Around the beginning of part 2 Faber says, “Do you know why books such as this are so important? Because they have quality. And what does the word quality mean? To me it means texture. This book has pores” (Bradbury 88). I think this is an example of how people become ignorant. When Faber is saying the book has pores, I think he saying since it has pores it makes you really think about what it is saying. If people cannot read the books and just live in their own little world they will not be able to actually think about the meaning of things. Reading books make people think, why? When the firemen are burning all these books in the society, the people will not be able to think or gain knowledge. They will all have the same intelligence they did when they were 10. This is not the only example Bradbury shows.…

    Raymond and Trudy was an amazing book that I would read again but I would like to address one thing. The cover. No the cover is not a representation of what is inside of the book but let’s be honest, a lot of people do judge a book by its cover. The cover, to be frank, is TERRIBLE. Whoever made the cover for your book is terrible at their job. The cover is blurry and plain. Even if you just kept the design and got rid of the blur it would be MUCH MUCH better. The cover is a turnoff. If someone told me to choose the book that looked the most interesting, your book would be the last on my list. The cover makes your book look like an amateur wrote a quick story and sent it off to be published without reviewing the contents (if that makes sense).…

    The natural world is depicted as a large an unlimited environment. “On one side of the river the golden foothill slopes curve up to the strong and rocky Gabilan Mountains” (p. 3). When Steinbeck uses the description of the slopes curving up to the Gabilan Mountains, he is telling the reader that there is a large distance between the bank of the Salinas River and the Galiban Mountains. As the sound of the word “curving” is gentle, and kind to the ear, it suggests that the incline is also gentle, and as Mountains are always over 10,000 feet, this also portrays the vast expanse of the “golden foothill slopes”. In contrast, the bunkhouse is portrayed as a very small and restricted domain. “The Bunkhouse was a long, rectangular building.” (p. 19) This may be because Steinbeck had previous experience of working on ranches, and found it claustrophobic, limited and deterring.…
