    Tom Brennan Chapter Questions

    The novel is written from a first-person perspective, revolving around the character of Tom Brennan. As written in the Prologue on page 2, ‘My name is Tom Brennan and this is my story.’ Tom, a typical New South Wales adolescent, enjoys his rugby, friends and normal life. The first few pages, however, reveal that he has lost it all; forced to abandon his much loved town of Mumbilli, his friends and his old life. Once a valued part of the community; now the town despise the Brennan family. The reason is hinted and touched upon slightly during the first quarter of the novel, having to do something with Tom’s brother Daniel. It is later revealed that a drunken night at a party leads to a car accident behind the wheel; where Daniel kills two and turns his cousin Fin into a paraplegic. The family suffer the consequences of Daniel’s actions. All are mentally stressed, especially Tom’s mother- who, after the accident, has never come out of bed. The move to Coghill, and living with their grandmother proves challenging for Tom and his sister Kylie. Kylie struggles with settling in at the new school, St Bennies; and Tom is forced to repeat year 11 because of his poor performance at school. But apart from these immediate stresses, the thing that bothers Tom most is that: he is not himself anymore. He is slightly comforted by rugby and his close bonds with family; but even these are in doubt. Tom’s new rugby team is notorious, known as the team that 'couldn 't catch a cold '. And his family situation is in turmoil. As the narrative progresses we see Tom find ‘himself’ back. Through…

    Literary Techniques Used In Sonny's Coalwood

    Often in novels, the author is able to personify and use the setting as an imperative aspect of a story such that it could almost take the form of a character. For Homer Hickam Jr. (Sonny), Coalwood was not only his hometown, but it became his motivation to continue building and launching his rockets. Every house in Coalwood was occupied with families of coal miners, and for someone to participate in another activity besides football was rare and often discouraged. “Only coal mining was more important in Coalwood than high school football. Sputnik, and anything else, was going to always come in a distant third” (Hickam Jr. 27). It was known that if a male student didn’t receive a football scholarship, than they were either going to join the…

By planning to escape from the small town in Oklahoma, he shows he is an outcast. “He had tried so to keep his life from being complicated. Still, none of it had touched him. He had felt sorry for his mother and she had made him lie…. He wanted his life to go smoothly. It had just gotten going that way. Well, that was all over now” (Meyer, 138).

    Alcoholic Authors

    The prominence of alcoholism in American literature, at least in the first half of the twentieth century, and the relationship between great authors and alcoholism has become somewhat of a literary cliché. Icons such as Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, Tennessee Williams, and Jack Kerouac are as famous for their work as they are infamous for their drinking habits. These authors have created a legend out of themselves just from their notorious habits of drinking. Of the seven native-born Americans awarded the Nobel Prize in literature, five were alcoholics. The list of other twentieth-century American writers also affected with alcoholism is very long. I researched these authors’ lives to find out how they all were infected with the same disease, alcoholism. Some said that drinking boosted their creative abilities, while others thought of it more of an escape from the confines of their own imagination, to which they were bound for all hours of the day. Drinking does fit the loner lifestyle that many of these authors had. It was viewed as a cure for writers block, an escape from their own minds, and most importantly, as a tool to cure the emotional hardships that they endured. It is not a coincidence that the greatest writers and artists also had very troubled childhoods and adult lives. Look at Edgar Allan Poe and Vincent Van Gogh; both were both severely troubled emotionally and depressed, and yet they still produced artistic and literary genius. So what is this connection between alcoholism and the great authors of the early 19th century? I will take an in-depth look at a few of the most influential alcoholic authors, such as Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, Edgar Allan Poe, and Tennessee Williams. I will look at factors that may have led them to their alcoholic habits, such as their childhood, troubled lives, or depression. From there, I will then look at how alcohol affected their works, positively or negatively. And as we all know, alcoholism was also…
