    The Veldt Quotes

    In “The Veldt,” Bradbury states that when parents spoil their children, the results can end up being very bad. In the text, it says, “"Wendy, come back here!" said George Hadley, but she was gone.”. This shows that Wendy, the daughter, doesn’t obey the father anymore. This is bad because if the children don’t obey the parents anymore, they’ll do whatever they like, and the parents won’t be able to stop them. Also, the text shows, “The two children were in hysterics. They screamed and pranced and threw things. They yelled and sobbed and swore and jumped at the furniture.”. This quote shows that when the kids were spoiled with the nursery room, they couldn't separate from it. All the time they would be in the room, and when the parents wanted…

    Marriage is when two people who love each other come together to form a special bond. However, perception and reality of marriage couldn’t be more different. Although Hera is widely known for being jealous and violent, she is in fact a victim. She is a victim of being mistreated by Zeus and misunderstood by most people when indeed Hera is one of the most influential goddesses of all time. She embodies perfectly the characteristics of pride and honor. Hera should not be remembered just for being envious and vengeful, but worshiped for being the queen of all gods.…

    Others might say the story written with everyone’s perspectives would have made the story misleading and would make it confusing. On the other hand, it might have made the story more interesting. For example, Scout, when her and Jem were being attacked, said, “‘Jem?’ There was no answer but the man’s heavy breathing. ‘Jem?’ Jem didn’t answer” (Lee 262). In this scenario, Jem’s perspective would have made more sense because the readers would understand what was going on, they would understand why Jem was not answering, they would have understood how Jem felt, rather than Scout, being almost oblivious of the situation. Jem telling this part of the story might have made the reader infer more about the plot, but with Scout telling it, the reader just wants to know what is happening. Another example of a different perspective would be when Scout was talking about early in the school year when it was a rough day, she said, “Miss Caroline had learned several things herself. She had learned not to hand something to a Cunningham, for one thing…” (Lee 30). At this point, Miss Caroline’s perspective would be interesting because the reader would understand how she felt about what she learned and her thoughts on the lessons, rather than Scout just saying what she learned. The reader might have been as frustrated with the situation…

    Comparing the Contrasting

    Having each story been written in a third-person narrative form, the reader knows the innermost feelings of the protagonists and watches the main characters change. The reader learns what Brown feels as he thinks to himself, “What a wretch I am to leave her on such an errand!” In “Where Are You Going,” the narrator supplies much of Connie’s feelings, such as in the first paragraph, “she knew she was pretty and that was everything.” However, in Young Goodman Brown, “point of view swings subtly between the narrator and the title character. As a result, readers are privy to Goodman Brown’s deepest, darkest thoughts, while also sharing an objective view of his behavior” (Themes and Construction: Young 2). Point of view of “Young Goodman Brown” contrasts with that of “Where Are You Going” because “This narrative voice stays closely aligned to Connie’s point of view” (Themes and Construction: Where 2). Despite the subtle contrast, both points of view allow the reader to see the changes in Brown and Connie; Brown loses his faith and Connie loses herself. Point of view also affects how the reader sees other characters. The reader only sees her mother, father, June and Arnold Friend as Connie sees them. The characters of Young Goodman Brown are viewed as the narrator describes them, whether that is how Brown sees them or…

    The Fifth Wave Analysis

    • 118 Words
    • 1 Page

    The title of my novel is The Fifth Wave by Rick Yancey. So far, there is only one main character in my book named Cassie, short for Cassiopeia. There is no real description of Cassie other than than being a 16 year old female. However, based on the post apocalyptic setting, I have an idea of the features that her environment would cause. The narrator searches for he food and water, so she has impressive stamina. She also has to carry supplies over long distances which means she is most likely in good physical health. The narrator has not expressed a negative attitude towards physical challenges. All of these attributes increase her chance of surviving in her…

    Both of my parents went to college and both of them also went on to get a post-graduate degree. To them a college education is a necessity to be successful in life. Neither one of them expects me to get into or go to Harvard or Yale, but they do expect me to go to a respectable college. Some teenagers often do not go to college because they must get a job to support their family. Thankfully my parents have always said that I do not need to get a job until after college. The academic and financial support my parents have provided me has cause me not to think of college as a unattainable dream, but almost as another step in my educational , similar to high school or middle school. My parent’s knowledge of the college and the admission process has taught what I need to do in order to put myself in a position to get into a respectful college. The advice and knowledge from my parents has taught me not to just worry about my grades because colleges do not like book worms. Colleges like kids who show they can manage many activities while still maintain a solid 4+ GPA. This attitude has been a positive for me because now I am in many extra-curricular activities including playing Varsity lacrosse, being on the Academic Bowl team, and playing two instruments. Without my parents I could most definitely see myself being a book worm, but thanks to them shaping the attitude that colleges look at more than just grades I have become more outgoing. My parents influence on my view n attitude of college has most definitely been a positive one, and thanks to them, so far, I have been very…
