Character Analysis: Hattie Sticks Up
Hattie is just because she sticks up for Adam when he is treated poorly. On page 66 when Adam offers Nancy to come over for breakfast and Nancy says “No” and calls him a big freak, Hattie sticks up for him. She says “Hey! Hey… Hey, shut up.” to Nancy. When Nana has a big party, and Adam has to stay home in his room by himself, Hattie finds a way to sneak him out. On page 126, Hattie says ¨It doesn't seem right that Nana and Papa should make him stay in his room during the party.¨ She also acts just on page 132 when the ferris wheel gets stuck and a man says ¨Somebody shut up that werewolf¨ and Hattie says back ¨You shut up, you...¨.

    Comparing Little Red Cap And Sharon Singer's Paintings

    In comparing The Grimm Brother’s “Little Red Cap” and Sharon Singer’s paintings of the infamous little red riding hood story, there are numerous similarities to be found. Singer’s painting “Fast Food”, depicts a dark and uncanny scene in which naked doll lies at the foot of bloody wolf paws. The naked doll in Singer’s bleak painting represents the vulnerability of Little Red Cap during her encounters with the wolf. Little Red Cap description as a “dear little girl” who was loved by anyone who “set eyes on her” works into Little Red Cap’s childish aurora connected by Singer’s naked doll (Tatar 13). The Grimm Brothers explain Little Red Cap “had no idea what a wicked beast [the wolf] was” during their first meeting, which characterizes Little Red Cap as a helpless and harmless young girl, with no knowledge of the dangers of society, such as a child (Tatar 14). Therefore, assessing Little Red Cap defenseless and innocent nature, there is a connection portrayed through the unclothed doll that lies at the foot of the wolf. In the painting from Singer, the wolf’s bloody paws are also seen under a red cloth, which can be concluded as two things from the story. One, the red cloth is Little Red Cap’s…

    Holden Caulfield's Red Hunting Hat Analysis

    Holden Caulfield’s red hunting cap is a symbol for his individuality. Caulfield only wears his hat when he “d[oes]n't give a damn how [he] look[s]” and when he knows “[he] wouldn’t meet anybody that kn[ows] [him]” (88, 122). Caulfield is insecure about himself--this is demonstrated by his inability to connect well with others--and his “corny” hat is one of his insecurities (18). Despite how insecure he is about his individuality--and subsequently his hat--he still keeps it close by. Most of time, the hat is in Caulfield’s “pocket” (53). When Phoebe “put [the hunting hat] on [his] head,” she is telling Caulfield that she accepts him as an individual--quirky hat and all (212).…

    A Corner Of The Universe Hattie Owens Quotes

    Hattie Owens is a very determined girl. A good portrayal of this characteristic is when Hattie tries to get Adam out of his house so that he con go to the carnival with her instead of being shut up in his room while his parents are having a social gathering. This is a good example because Hattie really wanted Adam to escape because she felt bad for him and wanted to take him out on an adventure! Another scene where this characteristic is shown is when Hattie “stuck up” for Adam so that he could go be ‘normal’ for a few hours. Therefore we see Hattie become a determined, strong willed young lady. Some textual evidence for this characteristic is on page 1 and the book says, “I’m not about so spend the morning in bed…”…

    The King Of Sinister In Tim Burton's Films

    Although she is a queen, she is still muchly hated around her kingdom and even the White Kingdom. Yet both however, were very successful in their own ways. The Red Queen embraced her differences and turned them into a plus by making those unique qualities that are typical considered frowned upon, into qualities that are unique and beautiful. This showed to the viewer when Alice was infiltrating the Red Kingdom and she ate the cake that made her grow, and then the Red Queen accepted her solely because of her extra-large head. The Mad Hatter was an old psychopath who couldn’t fit in anywhere, but he figured out the only way to embrace his differences and used his talent of making hats to actually fit in. Burton tends to portray this common theme in a majority of his…

    To Kill A Mockingbird: Character Analysis

    I believe in judging someone by their actions and character rather than by the color of their skin and sexuality. This I believe because there is good and bad in all of us. The color of our skin does not depict the flaws we have. In the second amendment it states that all men are created equal, but we still do not treat each other equally. Defending Tom Robinson was not easy because I knew that from the minute Mayella opened her mouth Tom was a dead man. But everyone including a black man deserves a second chance. How could I ever tell my own children “You never really understand a person until you consider things from their point of view - until you climb into his skin and walk around in it” if I didn’t pick up Tom’s case because I was afraid of what people would think of me. When people say things about me like “Atticus Finch is the same in his house as he is on the public streets” why would I prove them wrong? You are only as good as you portray yourself to be. But when you are a black man in the town of Maycomb, Alabama you were never dealt the good hand to begin with. Sadly Tom never got a second chance. Tom was a good man but because of the color of his skin he was not treated as fairly as the rest of us.…
