Screw The Club Quote Analysis
Another quote that I found interesting is, "Screw the clubs!" Tigo said. "Can't we pick our own ..." The word was hard coming. When it came, his eyes did not leave Danny's face. "... friends?" "Sure we can," Danny said vehemently. "Sure, we can! Why not?" Tigo grew from wanting gang acceptance to hankering for a true friendship, that he found in Tigo. Because they had similar interests; they both liked guns, wanted to join the army and neither particularly liked the other boys in their gang. Tigo reslised that Danny and himself . I was pleased that they knew they didn’t have to stay a gang member their whole lives and that they knew they had a option to leave and make their own friends and not fell pressured to die for their

    Rhapsody In The Rain Quote Analysis

    The Narrator also says things that are just about impossible. In the beginning of the story, he says, “I heard all things in heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in Hell.” (542). He is saying that he can hear things that know one could ever hear in their lifetime. He is being very dishonest, because practically everyone knows this is not true. Another example is when he says, “The ringing became more distinct-it continued and became more distinct…” (546). The ringing he is referring to is the heartbeat. The heartbeat of the man he killed, chopped up, and stuffed under the floorboards. This is impossible; to hear someone’s heart beat we need a stethoscope. We need certain tools, but he thinks he can hear a heartbeat with just his ear, and nothing else. Some people can’t hear people talking from across the room, and the majority of people can’t hear anything from a mile away. This shows he is untrustworthy, and he could be telling a false story.…

    Why People Join Groups In The Outsiders

    After reading, “Rest in Peace, Doc,” and,” The Outsiders,” I learned that people, (especially younger adults) join gangs for a spectrum of reasons. Furthermore, some may join because they have limited life options or they may join because they want to. Whatever the reason is, no matter what, it is an illogical decision to join a gang. People in,” The Outsiders,” joined for a few different reasons. One example is,a partly main character, Steve, joined from peer-pressure. On page nine, it states that,”He was cocky, smart, and Soda’s best friend.” If Soda was in the gang before Steve was, Steve probably wanted to be like Soda and/or, Soda pressured him into becoming a Greaser. In addition, a character in,” The Outsiders,” named Two-Bit, joined for the adrenaline rush or the adventure of it. On page ten in the book, the text states,”... and he was always smarting off to the cops.” This meaning, he always liked to be on the very edge of getting in trouble with…

    Fight Club Analysis

    The first scene of the film opens up inside the mind of protagonist, Jack/the Narrator. The camera slowly moves along pathways of Jack’s mind and then emerges out of his head. There, we see Jack seated with a gun in his mouth. On the other side, holding the gun is Tyler Durden. The two of them are placed on what looks like the upper floor of an office building. You hear Jack in voice-over claim that his current situation had something to do with Marla Singer. The next scene takes place in a support group containing men who are recovering from testicular cancer. Jack apparently has been attending various support groups. However, Jack is completely disease-free. Jack attends these meetings to allow him to cry and accept the pain and misery of…

    The Crucible Quote Analysis

    In The Crucible by Arthur Miller, the couple, John and Elizabeth Proctor, undergoes a series of complications that only continues to aggravate the already thinly veiled relationship they have. Their strife begins with John Proctor, a stern farmer of good faith, who is only concerned with any matters that either benefit or potentially scar his reputation. John, however, is of good faith only in the faces of the public. He conceals one dark secret to the public; he had an affair with Abigail, who used to be John Proctor’s servant, but was fired seven months ago when John’s wife exhumed the truth. John’s affair had caused great turbulence in his marital relationship with Elizabeth ever since. The couple now has a very unstable relationship because Elizabeth is very skeptical of John, as he has been seeing Abigail lately in Salem, and John is trying to reconcile for his actions. John feels that he is being “judged for lies” by his wife every time he comes back from a trip to Salem, although John is desperately trying to accommodate for his actions such as his endeavors to “please [his wife]” (Miller 52). Elizabeth on the other hand feels that since her husband had already cheated on her once, he could be inclined to do it again. Therefore, Elizabeth can no longer love John the way she used to, and she speaks in a cold and dispassionate manner towards him, making innuendos of John’s sinful act with Abigail. For instance, as John converses with Elizabeth after returning home from Salem, he “gets up, goes to her, [and] kisses her,” but Elizabeth “receives it with a certain disappointment,” which evinces that she is still distraught from the incident seven months ago (Miller 48). As both John and Elizabeth continue to struggle in their fragile relationship, tensions may become worse as Abigail becomes more and more desperate to be with John; she believes that John still has feelings for her and will do whatever it takes to be with him.…

    Textual Analysis Essay on Fight Club

    The classic 1996 film Fight Club is a social commentary about our generation, which is in many ways devoid of spirit and marked by consumerism. It is the story of a man's spiritual journey towards enlightenment in modern society and his attempt to find his place in the world. It stresses a post-modern consumer society, reveals the loss of masculine identity amongst gray-collar workers, and examines the social stratification marked by our developing society. It follows the life of the narrator, who is referred to as Jack, (Edward Norton) as he struggles with insomnia and feelings of inadequacy in his desperate search to find meaning in his own life. The film, although controversial, reveals issues in modern society by revealing the development of the narrator through his friendship with Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt). Durden is a man of influence and power who possesses all of the qualities the narrator lacks. Their friendship develops as the film progresses, but when Durden’s motives unfold, the film ultimately reveals the split personality of the narrator himself, who is in fact Tyler Durden.…

    The Stranger Quote Analysis

    While reading the Stranger I noticed a pattern of avoiding emotional words or describing events that for a normal person would have great emotional impact. ”Then I fired four more times at the motionless body where the bullets lodged without leaving a trace”(Albert 59). After reading this part of the book you could tell there was no emotion in Meursault. After killing someone you would fell some sort of emotion even if that may be hatred, remorse or fear you would think Meursault would show emotion but its like he is made of ice. Another instance of this story being strait forward in the descriptions is when Meursault is at his mother’s funeral. “Then finally she shut up. I didn’t feel drowsy anymore, but I was tired and my back was hurting…

    The Crucible Quotes Analysis

    Written by Arthur Miller, the Crucible is a reading filled with many significant and important quotes. One excerpt expresses the hidden dishonesty and deceit within the Puritan society. It says, “There are wheels within wheels in this village, and fires within fires” (28). At this part in the play, Mrs. Anne Putnam is having a dispute with Rebecca Nurse over the reasoning for her many miscarriages. Unlike Mrs. Putnam, Rebecca has been granted with plenty of children making her quite envious over Rebecca. She tries to suggest that maybe the Devil helped her have so many kids. This quote is therefore used by Mrs. Putnam to express her religious knowledge in order to help explain about this mysterious and puzzling event that has been occurring in their quaint village recently.…

    “A family is a risky venture, because the greater the love, the greater the loss. That’s the trade-off. But I’ll take it all.’’ This quote means that the greater you love a person the harder the loss of that person is to you. Inkheart by Cornelia Funke relates to this quote in her book Inkheart in chapters 29 and 30. I agree with this quote because the quote could relate to you or someone else.…

    Gangs

    To begin with, I think it is imperative to outline the reasons as to why so many young Britons seek the sense of belonging they achieve once initiated into a gang. With Sir Ian Blair stating “We need to find out what makes people feel safer in a gang then out of one”, it is no secret that these members actively seek out places in the community where they feel they can identify with their peers while gaining respect (CITE). One reason behind this longing to belong may be put down to child neglect; although a child may be seen to be attending school, have well-fitting, clean clothes and appears…

    Always Running Analysis

    In “Always Running”, a former gang member named Luis J. Rodriguez writes about his rough past. He joined his first gang when he was eleven years old, and saw many of his friends die one-by-one as a result of the dangers of being in a gang in east L.A. This broke him down and made him weak, but he had no one to share his emotions with which resulted in his joining of a gang. He killed an innocent man for the sake of being in a gang, spent several months in prison, and participated in numerous shootings. He tries to get out of the gang and do good in school but he keeps getting pulled back in. In his autobiography, Rodriguez tells of how his journey to become a better person led him to put his gang life behind and change his lifestyles for the…
