James And The Giant Peach Analysis
The main character in my story James and the Giant Peach is James. James is a kid that is a shy kid only around his aunts. He lives with his aunts after his parents died from a hippopotamus accident. He was a great kid before and after his parents died,but when his parents died. He went to live with his two aunts because they were his only two living relatives. James became a shy and scared person from the mistreatment from his aunts. James was a very charming little boy that never caused any trouble for the most part.For some reason he was mistreated anyway, so then came the thought of leaving the two aunts.

The conflict of the story came from his aunts. He was not treated how a child should ever be treated. He was beaten anytime he did

    Color of Water Analysis

    By uncovering his mother’s past, James was able to build an even deeper relationship with her. While reading this book, it was hard to compare it to anything else because of its originality. A story about an old, white lady taking care of twelve black children; there is almost nothing like that! Although the concept of digging into someone’s past and in doing so gaining a deep respect for them comes close to the movie Hugo. Hugo is about an orphan boy who lives in the walls of a Paris railway station. As…

    James 'Feeling Accepted In Everything Will Be Okay'

    To illustrate the fact that his family is pushing him to do things he doesn’t feel right about doing is that the big brother, Paul, is always pushing James to be a man. Paul constantly says, “C’mon. Be a man.” James does not want to be a man, but in the end, they put the poor, diseased, and badly hurt kitten that James found in the woods anyway, FORCING James to be a man. As a result, James cannot do what he really wants to do because he wants to blend in with his family to feel accepted, which pushes him to do things he doesn’t want to…

For example, in chapter 2, page 12 James asks his mother who she is and why she does not look like him. This makes James not only wonder about his identity, but as well as his mother’s.…

    Identity In The Color Of Water By James Mcbride

    He grew up with his mom, Ruth, living in a neighborhood where she was seen as the strange and out-of-the ordinary one. James underwent a stage of confusion during his childhood when he noticed that he and his mom had no physical similarities. He would see mothers taking their kids to school and right away notice a resemblance. But between he and his mom, nothing. Until one day as it was expected, James’ inquisitiveness kicked in and he asked Ruth why he didn’t look like her. On page 12, “I asked Mommy why she didn’t look like the other mothers...How come you don’t look like me? She sighed and shrugged. She’d obviously been down this road many times. I do look like you. I’m your mother”. Ruth evidently didn’t want to get into details and confuse James even more than what he was, so she thought the best way to respond to his question was to give him a vague…

    The color of water essay

    James McBride was constantly looked down upon from the rest of society because he had a Jewish, white mother. When he went out with his mother, she was called a “nigger lover”. James did not understand what that meant when he was younger. He could never comprehend the color of his mother’s skin because she never admitted she was white until later in life. It was hard for James to figure out who he really was as a child. James went to a school with all white kids. The time period he lived in made it very hard to fit in as a black kid in a white school. African Americans were still being heavily discriminated against during the time period he lived in. As a child, James never understood why people hated his mother. Ruth would never give James an answer to most of his questions. James watched his mother get verbally abused by various people throughout his life.…

    To Kill A Mockingbird Analysis

    In the book To Kill a Mockingbird, written by Harper Lee, the main theme is that it is a sin to kill a mockingbird. This metaphor of not killing mockingbird is clearly portrayed throughout the course of this novel. This theme is so important to the plot of this novel that the author decided to entitle the book after this very metaphor. Mockingbirds are birds that do not do anything wrong and they just give us music. Atticus is the main character in the novel that really stressed why it is a sin to kill a mockingbird. Mockingbirds are just a simple metaphor for the characters in this book who are killed, such as Mr. Raymond and Tom Robinson.…

James explained to his nephew in the introduction that he was born into a society that believed he was worthless, but infact he was anything but worthless. He tells his nephew to not blame the white people for their judgments, for they do not know better, and are not used to change.

    Defense attorney Paul Mones says “The problem is, child abuse ... is the perfect crime. It's the perfect crime because parents who do it seal their own protection, because they know the kid's typically, a, not going to fight back, and b, typically not [going to] report, because as bad as children get treated by their parents, that parent is still the caregiver; that parent still is the nourisher. And it's very difficult for the average human being to fight against that person, to rebel against that person.” suggest that it was very hard for one to break out of silence and seek help because of the role his mother and stepfather had in his life as care givers. Jacob was 15 at the time and under a tremendous amount of stress going…

    Color Of Water

    Also, the novel is described as a tribute to James McBride’s mother. The story is told by two narrators: James McBride and as his mother Ruth McBride Jordan. The novel switches between them so that they each narrate their own chapters. He tells his childhood and current life from his own voice while his mother is telling her early life with her own words, mostly taking place before James was born. Thus, the story keeps the audience’s attention by skipping back and forth in time, from James’s life to that of his mother. Although many time changes occur in the novel, they are easy to keep up…
