Dr. Gregory House By Hugh Lee
Character Analysis:
Dr. Gregory House
Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) is devoid of bedside manner and wouldn't even talk to his patients if he could get away with it. Dealing with his own constant physical pain, he uses a cane that seems to punctuate his acerbic, brutally honest demeanor. While his behavior can border on antisocial, House is a maverick physician whose unconventional thinking and flawless instincts have afforded him a great deal of respect. An infectious disease specialist, he's a brilliant diagnostician who loves the challenges of the medical puzzles he must solve in order to save lives. The show, House, was created by David Shore, but worked with various other directors during the course of the series run.

    Ernie Goad By Jeannette Walls

    Next, Jeannette again proves Bartlett's statement right, because despite being born into a family of impoverished foragers she chooses to rise above and become successful. She did not let her condition or circumstances weigh her down. Instead, she channeled her shame of being a forager as motivation to leave Welch. While living in Welch, Walls becomes conscious of opinions of others. “We can’t keep dumping garbage out there... what are people going to think?” (pg 157) Walls begins to realize that this lifestyle isn’t acceptable and that she must escape. Another example of Walls being filled with shame is when she gets into a neighborhood fight with a kid named Ernie Goad. Groad yells out that Walls family does not burn garbage, but instead…

    Killing Mr. Griffin by Lois Duncan

    Plot: Commencing at Del Norte High School of a small town called Alberseque, five students began to involve themselves in scheming and plotting of a very twisted plan which backfired on them. The scheme slowly evolved after many conflicts between the students and their English teacher, Mr. Griffin, for various reasons such as marks or dislike of his teaching methods. Mark, who had failed the course and deeply loathed Mr. Griffin, brainstormed to kidnap and "scare" the teacher with the help of his friends, Jeff and Betsy. In desperate need of a distraction or diversion for this plan, Mark told his friend, Dave to ask the smartest girl in the class, Susan (who liked Dave) for help; she was expected to arrange a conference with Mr. Griffin on the kidnapping day. Although Susan didn't want to, she agreed for Dave's sake. On the day, they waited anxiously for Mr. Griffin to come from the conference. When he approached, the students (except Susan) bagged his head and drove him to a secluded area. After they arrived there, the teenagers pressed the teacher to beg for a release, but he refused; out of anger, they dumped his heart medication and left afterwards. A few hours later, Susan called Dave with guilt to bring Mr. Griffin back, but too late --- the teacher already died of a heart attack when they came. They immediately drove back to school and notified their friends. Mark declared that they went too far and it was time to destroy any clues and hide the truth. Meanwhile, Mrs. Griffin notified the police, who assumed her husband deserted her. To add onto that, Mark persuaded Susan into lying to the police (she was supposed to be the last one to see the teacher) that Griffin left with another woman (lying he was still alive). To destroy all possible clues, the teenagers got rid of the car and buried the body. Just then, someone reported finding Griffin's medication (with his name). The police went to the spot, found the burial site, and dug up the body. Meanwhile,…

    The House On Mango Street By Sandra Cisneros

    In Sandra Cisneros’ book, “The House on Mango Street,” Cisneros writes that, “the boys and girls live in different worlds” (Cisneros 8). There are only so many ways one could translate this sentence, and one of the meanings that can be deduced is that boys and girls are treated differently. This idea holds true today, but the gap between what people think boys can do and what people think girls can do has become smaller over the past years. But still, there are some prejudices left, things like girls can’t be faster/smarter/stronger than guys. Ideas such as, “you can't hit a girl,” and the phrases, “you hit/punch/run like a girl,” have not helped to heal the gap that still lives today.…
