Brian Moon Shadow Analysis
Brian, Moon Shadow, and Rachel all had a difficult time in their lives. This is shown in the three excerpts we have read in class. Brian, Moon Shadow, and Rachel all faced life-changing experiences that had a direct impact on their lives.

Brian faced loneliness and hunger when he was stranded on the deserted island. Brian got lonely and tried to entertain himself. This is proved on pg. 6 when the author states “ Maybe I should try and figure out how I stand.” Brian also does this to take his mind off of food. “It will give me something to do-Keep me from thinking of food.” Brian faced the challenges given to him when on the island.

Moon Shadow faced the fear of the new country and the acceptance of his father moving away. Moon

    Planimetic Techniques In Wes Anderson's Kingdom

    Sam and Suzy decide to run away into the wilderness of the idyllic fictional island, New Penzance, first out of love for one another, second to escape the confines and struggles of the adult world around them, including Suzy’s two lawyer parents (Bill Murray and Francis McDormand) in a sterile marriage, the bumbling Khaki Scout Master (Edward Norton), and a lonely island policeman (Bruce Willis). Though a narrative about children, Moonrise Kingdom addresses adult issues of love (or the lack thereof), newfound sexuality, infidelity, parenting, identity, and the sense of belonging. Sam and Suzy, traversing through the wilderness, equally must navigate the rocky terrain of their own maturation while finding their place in the complicated adult…

    To begin with, the first reason why Brian is lonely is because he has no friends. For example,Brian sits in front of his window on weekends because he has no one to play with therefore, no one sits by Brian when it is lunch time. In the story Brian said that he wants a friend to at least sit by him and play with him outside. Last, when the first grade went on their field trip to the zoo none of the kids…

    Sunshine And Shadow Analysis

    The “Sunshine and Shadow” section of the New York Documentary series by Ric Burns was certainly named for a purpose. Right at the start of the documentary section, it is made clear why the contrasting themes of sunshine and shadow are appropriate for New York in 1865. In the “Gilded Age” of America, there were two components of life in New York City. There was the image that was made visible to the general public and outsiders, which was the extreme wealth and expansion going on in the city at the time. This portion of the city is representative of the “sunshine”, symbolizing success, visibility, and fortune. Secondly, there was the latter part of life in New York City, the seemingly masked and forgotten aspect…

    Hatchet, Island Of The Blue Dolphins

    Brian is thirteen years old and had to live in the Canadian wilderness all alone. Brians plane crashed into a lake on his way to his father's house when the pilot had a heartattack. Although Brian had saved himself by swimming to shore, he now was alone and stranded with no one to call or to help him figure out what to do. In paragraph six it consists of a single four-word sentence fragment it says ‘’And there came hunger.’’ I think that Gary Paulsen includes these four words to make a statement as if he had wanted to make sure the readers understood Brain doesn't understand how to live in the wild and is facing a moment of hunger and will starve to death if he doesn't figure out how to retrieve food and…

    Analysis of Brian's Character from Hatchet

    Secondly, Brian has become more thoughtful. Before the crash, Brian had always wanted to tell his dad about the secret, the reason why his mom divorced with his father, but after he is rescued, Brian gives up telling the truth to his dad maybe because he cares about others’ feelings, he doesn’t want his dad to have negative feelings or to blame on his mom since Brian loves his parents deeply in heart. Also, when Brian sees the bear, he quickly runs away from it, since he is afraid that the bear will harm him. But then after thinking, Brian learns that the bear won’t cause any harm to him because he is now a part of the nature too. So when the next time Brian sees the wolves, instead of running away, Brian nods to them, showing respect to he living things in nature. Another example is Brian thinks more after the skunk comes to steal his…

    The Pact by the Three Doctors

    An internal conflict I found in each of the characters was the choice between doing the right thing and doing the wrong thing. Each character found that peer pressure got the best all of them and if they were to succeed and over-achieve, they would have to rebel from it. Knowing that their family members were rooting for them and counting on them, they finally decided to get their acts together and buckle down. Sooner or later they found out that hitting the books wasn’t as difficult as they made it out to be. They all felt that they had made some hard and wrong decisions because they didn’t stand up for what was right and tried to follow along with the crowd. After these experiences, I guess they realized their reality was what they made of it, not what others attempted to make it. Throughout their college years spent together, the three learned to help each other stay focused and achieve their dreams, leading them into a world of success, intelligence, and happiness.…

    The Lame Shall Enter First Analysis

    Loneliness is present in both “A Hunger Artist” and “The Lame Shall Enter First.” While Norton feels lonely because of his home life, the hunger artist feels lonely because of his art—which eventually leads him to a lonely death. "A Hunger Artist" explores the loneliness that the main character encountered throughout the various stages of his exhibit. From the very beginning of his fasting, the hunger artist seemed lonely, yet he was surrounded by crowds. “... and then again withdrawing deep into himself, paying no attention to anyone or anything…” (par. 1). Despite the crowds, the Hunger Artist is still able to be completely absorbed with himself. Given that the hunger artist is clearly devoted to his art, the unusual art of starvation; this quote shows that the hunger artist has clearly been lonely in his journey for quite some time, even when his exhibit was popular. For the purpose of his art, loneliness seems to be the price he has to pay for his originality. In “The Lame Shall Enter First,” Norton’s loneliness stems from the isolation of his father, whereas the hunger artist is lonely because of his choice, his profession. Loneliness begins to reside in Norton the instant Sheppard begins talking about Rufus moving in. “It was dawning upon him that something of his was threatened” (par. 16). Norton is referring to his father. For fear that he would lose what was left of his father's attention, Norton didn’t like the thought of Rufus moving in. O’Connor utilizes several quotes that show Sheppard’s abandonment. “That afternoon Norton was alone in the house… (par. 72). “...he found Norton there alone” (par. 203). “He left Norton at home because he did not want his attention divided” (par. 270). Because of the isolation that 10-year-old Norton had to face, he began to get trapped into an isolated way of life, and eventually took his life. Similarly, because of the alienation that the hunger artist…

    The Characters Are Never Victims as They Triumph over Adversity and Inspire Optimism and Spirt. Do You Agree?

    While the characters face life changing experiences, some are able to triumph over and move forward. Facing undeniable odds, some of the characters showed great strength in the ability to put the past behind them. Shirley for example, was taken from her parents and in turn had her own children taken from her. She never gave up trying to find her children “you’ve been…

    Shadow Of Hate Analysis

    Sick, anger, and ashamed are the perfect three words to describe the many thoughts and feelings that rush through your head while watching the film Shadow of Hate. For I was truly disgusted when learning about the shameful acts of discrimination and hate crimes that were performed on certain cultural groups. In fact, this video was the first exposer to the crucial inhuman treatment of others. For throughout my high school education I was taught about the unequal treatment of others for different race and religion beliefs, but I was never exposed to the harsh punishments each cultural or religion faced, such as the unequal treatment of the Mexican American burial to the harsh living conditions to Asian Americans. I also thought it was…
