    A community is a place where people around supposed to be able to live and thrive together. When one thinks of a community, the image that most likely is visualized is one of a place where each person lives harmoniously with all the other members of that community. While this may be the typical image of a community, it is not the realistic view. In reality communities can share both good and bad aspects. In Place Matters: Metropolitics for the Twenty-First Century Peter Dreier, John Mollenkopf, and Todd Swanstrom make the argument that the place a person lives ultimately matters over all else; the place which a person lives effects the choices that that he/she makes and determines his/her ability to obtain a high quality of life.…

    One quote that shows this is “While the kitchen and the living room were well within the DMZ, the respective workspaces governed by my father and me were jealously guarded totalitarian states” (7). Vowell uses a hyperbole to describe the way they treat their workspaces as if it was there own state, where they had total control over everything in it. This quote shows how passionate they were about their interests and how much it meant to them. Another quote that their similar behaviors is “Dad’s shop was a messy disaster area, a labyrinth of lathes… It was also a messy disaster area, an obstacle of course of musical instruments…” (7). This parallel structure Vowell uses explains how even though her dad and herself have different interests, they still share similar ways of taking care of their belongings and they do similar things with them. This demonstrates how because, since they are family, father and daughter still share similar behavioral traits even if their interests are completely opposites.…

    Russell states clearly that this is one of the oldest subjects in realistic fiction. Family is the highlight of this story because that is all little Laura knows. She introduces various members such as her immediate family and also her grandparents and aunts and uncles. In one specific instance Laura is afraid of her Uncle George because Pa said that he had been wild since he ran away to be a drummer in the army at the age of 14. Laura spends more time with him and decides that she likes him very much and has fun with him at the dance at her grandparent’s house. One theme also that I want to touch on that struck me in dealing with family was how jealous Laura became of Mary as the book went on. I think this is a good subject to discuss with the topic of family because it really shows the interworking of the family’s life. It shows and reiterates Russell’s point that family is diverse and complicated. I had noticed early on that Laura was jealous of Mary’s blonde curls because everyone seemed to love them more than her own brown curls. This became more apparent on page 175 of the book where Laura reflects on how perfect Mary is after she rips her own dress when pebbles are too heavy in her pocket. She tells of how Mary is such a perfect little girl and everyone loves her. I think, especially being a little sister to a seemingly perfect older sister myself, this sense of jealousy is apparent in…

    Furthermore, the narration at the beginning of the film is also another key factor when analysing the film Laura. In the opening scene, it is a man narrating. We do not know this man as of yet, as the frame is filled with black. However as the narrative progresses, the narrator introduces himself as Waldo Lydecker, this therefore makes him a homodiegetic narrator, as he actively tells the story of Laura’s death with himself involved. As the narrator of…

    Though the story occurs over the course of three days, the plot begins on the Friday of the murder. It is because of this incident the story even takes place. During the film, the viewer is given insight to information that happened many years ago. While Waldo and McPherson are out having a drink, Waldo begins to talk about Laura. At this moment a series of flashbacks are shown starting five years ago when Waldo and Laura first met. We then see how Laura’s career progresses with the help of Waldo. We also see how Laura first met Shelby and how their relationship began. Waldo reveals how Shelby betrayed Laura by dining with her aunt and having relations with Diane. These events all lead up to the day of Laura’s alleged murder. It is during this series of flashbacks that Waldo paints a vivid picture of Laura, a character we have not met before this time. He also establishes the relationships for us she has with each character. Here, we are also able to find motives each…

    “Of the three Wingfields, reality has by far the weakest grasp on Laura. The private world in which she lives is populated by glass animals—objects that, like Laura’s inner life, are incredibly fanciful and dangerously delicate,” (SparkNotes Editors). This is problematic and inconsiderate on the part of Amanda. She knows that Laura has many issues but she does not choose to acknowledge them because she wants to relive her youth through her daughter but she cannot do that when her daughter is ill, physically and…
