Ceremony Auntie Quotes
Favorite quote
One of my favorite quotes from Ceremony describes how Auntie treated Tayo and Rocky. “Auntie made it clear to everyone that it was all necessary if Rocky were to keep his football scholarship to the university … He would be the first one ever to get a football scholarship, the first one to go with no help from the BIA or anyone. She could hold her head up, she said, because of Rocky.” (p. 91). Throughout the book, it is described that Auntie played favorites, showing obvious favoritism between her son and Tayo, wanting Rocky go and do what others could not. The quote not only shows Auntie’s dreams that will never be fulfilled for her son, but also what kind of culture she grew up. It is so important to her that her son be man

    Lady Macbeth Quotes

    Lady Macbeth is married to Macbeth the main character in this play, making her one of the key characters in this play. Lady Macbeth is a woman who lusts for power, authority and control through her husband. She persuades Macbeth into killing Duncan so that he can become king after the incident. She characterizes one of the ongoing thematic elements of guilt throughout the play and this finally leads to her death in the end.

    Kell Final Part Time Indian Essay

    Achievements of success are seen as positive attributes. Thus leading to a certain achieved status and maintaining that status can be a burden. All achievements are not positive achievements, in fact some hinder your ability to grow and develop. On the reservation, a real man is a strong man; he shows no weakness and does not take crap from anyone. Rowdy exerts all of these qualities, as well as fulfilling this image of a rough, tough guy, “Rowdy is the toughest kid on the rez. He is long and lean and strong like a snake” (15). Rowdy is seen as a dominant “Alpha male” on the reservation, this meaning an aggressive and dominant bully. Being known for being tough is a self-achievement, but having to maintain that status conflicts with him internally as well as externally. Having the burden of perpetuating this status hinders his psychological and emotional growth with others, including family and friends. This dominantly reflects upon his best friend Junior, who is well aware of Rowdy’s lack of affection towards him, “well Rowdy would miss me, but he’d never admit that he’d miss me. He is way too tough for that kind of emotion” (16). It is unfortunate that Rowdy’s attitude in relations to Junior interferes with the emotional bond between them. Rowdy is unable to develop an…

    To Kill A Mockingbird Lady-Like Quotes

    Have you ever found a character, maybe in a tv show, or book, that you can relate to the most (especially by a landslide)? Some people could say yes to the moon and back, while some people have never related that much to a character in their life. For me, I’m more of the former, and I found a character to relate to in To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee; Scout Finch. To explain, Scout and I take longer than others to understand things, which could cause frustration in others (mainly peers), and we’re both put under at least some pressure to be more “lady-like”. There’s other similarities too, but they’re either not as significant or I couldn’t find as much quotes to support them.…

    Lady Macbeth Quotes

    “What had he done to make him fly the land?" [repeats, louder with cracked voice] “What had he done to make him fly the land?" (page no.) And what did I do to make him flee this land? [shaking head, is emotional] Fearful of Scotland’s happening and future. Oh, Scotland. Your monarchy so heinous, so damned, so feared that your men are fleeting images of the past. Gone with the wind that was a torrent of darkness among the blustery trees. Gone without a thought of kinship; to family nor duty. I should have known a man so full of human nature would chase the scorpions of suspicion in his mind that sting him to the point of no return. It can’t be. Macduff, this noble passion/ Child of integrity, hath from my soul. (Page 76, 114-115) [Shaking head]…

    To Kill A Mockingbird Quotes

    Mockingbirds are a symbol of sheer innocence; their existence causes no harm to others and the sole purpose of its life is to make mellifluous music for all to enjoy. The mockingbird’s sweet chorus is destroyed and disregarded in to kill a mockingbird, as the harmless characters of Boo Radley and Tom Robinson are exiled and imprisoned despite their altruism. The use of the mockingbird in the title provides distinction and coincides through characters and events during the novel.…
