CONVICTION

“Why do people stare at us mother?” Asked Ryan as him and his mother walked down Ally Drive. Ally drive was a posh street filled with the most lavish houses; it was like walking through a dream. Their interiors were as beautiful as the outside. The themed bedrooms, the chandelier in the living room with the golden paint and white soft couches something he always hoped his mattress would be. He often went with his mother to work. His mother was a simple fairly pretty charming lady. Being a single mother was not easy. Ryan lost his father when he was 4. She wasn’t educated and had a minimum wage job, she was a house help and that is how she ran the family.

After work Ryan and his mother walked down Ally Drive to take the shortcut home. Ryan often complained about the long walk home because it would make him tired and so he couldn’t play football for long with his friends once he got home. His mother would always look at him with a smile and say “son walking is healthy it will keep me young and make sure the muscles of your body grow well and strong”, deep down in his heart he knew she was making an excuse and was too ashamed to tell him she couldn’t afford taking the bus.

Ryan had six siblings the oldest being 18 and the youngest being him only six years old. His older brother often showed them fantasies of what it would be like once they were rich. All the children of the house slept in one room and at night they would imagine what it would be like to be rich Axel the oldest would speak of driving the best cars out there a BMW or maybe a Mercedes “when you’re rich you can choose both and drive what you want”, they all had something or the other in their minds, but not Ryan. He saw himself flying.

He had once told his mother that he would like to grow up and become a pilot. He wished he could fly free like the birds above him. His mother told him living in a dreamland is not realistic and that people like him should not aim for the impossible

    Ryan was a mute and communicates with facial expressions and hand movements and has not spoken a word in four years after his father died. Ryan always kept Tommy in the right direction, because he was the only one that Tommy told about his mother, and what he had to do to see her like he used to. “Hey, why did you do that?” he asked surprised. “You play with us, teach us all this great stuff about baseball… being a team, playing together. Now you're going to up and leave us?” Ryan asked “But I have to.” Tommy says “You don't have to do nothing. You're a crock, man. We looked up to you. You made us feel for the game, and it showed. I thought we were showing you something too.” Ryan said with hope “Yeah? What's that?” he said with an attitude “Friendship, dummy.” Ryan says looking right into Tommy’s eyes. Ryan even came out of his shell because he did not want Tommy to do something he would regret. Ryan believed that Tommy could change his future if he did the tasks he loved and adored. Ryan’s friendship and his teaching of important skills towards Tommy made him the second most memorable mentor to Tommy because he spent most of his time with him and his mother, and that's what really left a mark on…

    He sacrifices the quality of his actual lifestyle for imagining a perfect one, and it has an overall negative effect on his life. Often, Mitty’s dreams are sparked by something that actually happens, such as one occasion, when: “He drove around the streets aimlessly for a time, and then he drove past the hospital on his way to the parking lot. … ‘It’s the millionaire banker Wellington McMillan,’ said the pretty nurse” (336). The stark contrast between the dull reality of driving “aimlessly” and the exciting and suspenseful task of saving a millionaire illustrates how different Mitty’s ideal life is from his actual one. Although it is necessary to imagine in order to know what one’s desired path is, Mitty’s dreaming gets in the way of his goals. He spends most of his time imagining the glamourous life he wants to live instead of working to achieve it, and this interference of fantasy into reality is what leads Mitty to settle for mediocrity and prevents him from living a full life. Mitty’s habit of uncontrollably daydreaming reveals that too much imagination can negatively impact one’s life, along with the ones of the people close to…

    The American Dream is an idea that has been present since American literature’s beginning. Typically, the dreamer aspires to rise from rags to riches, while accumulating such things as love, high status, wealth, and power on his way to the top. The dream has variations throughout different time periods, although it is generally based on ideas of freedom, self-reliance, and a desire for something greater. The American dream has increasingly focused on materialistic items as a sign of attaining success. In The Great Gatsby, Jay Gatsby is a self-made man who started out with no money only planned for achieving his dream. He is so blinded by his luxurious possessions that he does not see that money cannot buy love or happiness. Fitzgerald demonstrates how a dream can become corrupted by one’s focus on acquiring wealth, power, and expensive things.…

    The storyline follows the protagonist Sarah through her mental progress of accepting the death of her brother, Terry. The emotional aspects in the story are exemplified through the twisted chronology consisting of Sarah’s present life and flashbacks from her childhood. Black uses Sarah’s childhood home in Massachusetts as a contrast to show traces of Sarah’s mental state of denial. “To my own children, that long-neglected backyard is only part of grandma’s and grandpa’s house, where we go for Thanksgiving, for the Christmases with Lyle’s folks in California…”(p.2, ll- 52-53). It is shown here how the old backyard which used to hold a lot of importance for Sarah, her brother and their friends, has become a incidental place for annual occasions to her kids. This line emphasizes how Sarah has not passed on her joyful memories to her kids as a result of her lack of confrontation about her late brother. The protagonist has still not fully processed her sorrow and she is therefore not capable of have her children involved in her own childhood. Also it is seen that Sarah’s past still has a tremendous impact on her present life, as she speaks about the age gap between herself and Terry, comparing it to the amount of ages between her children Mark and Coco. The…
