    Girl Interrupted Analysis

    • 1132 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Soaked, little, and naked is how the viewer finds Susanna in the middle of Girl, Interrupted. Or rather, soaked, little, naked, and hysterical. A state James Mangold utilizes to further illustrate his message. The film serves as a vehicle for Mangold to discuss madness and the society it exists within. Valerie, the asylum’s registered nurse, throws Susanna, the film’s suicidal protagonist, into a tub filled with water in order to snap Susanna out of her depressed state. Susanna lashes out at Valerie with every hurtful vulgarity she has within her. Despite this, Valerie remains calm and collected. In this interaction between Susanna and Valerie, madness is portrayed in its most basic form; it is an ongoing battle between the individual and the environment surrounding it. The individual is a victim of his environment, overwhelmed into regurgitating the detritus surrounding him that are readily filtered and suppressed by those deemed sane by society.…

    It isn't tangible, it’s a feeling of safety and serenity. Home is somewhere that is always with them, no matter what. It's where they can drive three hours to see one half of the family, and then fly to the other side of the country to see the other half. It's where they gather with friends on the weekend to share stories over ice cream. For Melanie, home is the feeling when all her family comes together for holidays and reunions. Her home is family and friends . Her friends are always there when she needs them and vice versa. Living in Nebraska for 18 years, her friends have become family to her.

    In Advice to Little Girls, Mark Twain satirically delves into the stereotypes society allocates with females, especially young ones. Although the short paragraphs make one assume this story was meant to be taken in a serious sense, the satire hidden in them, and the humor associated with Twain can corroborate that Twain was writing this story in a joking manner. In the short story, he humorously uses diction and satire to make the story come across the way he wanted it to. It assembles a serious tone, while keeping its actual mocking tone hidden in his diction. He thought the stereotypes women’s behavior was mocking to women, so he followed that pattern throughout his writing.…

    Not Our Home Poem

    • 536 Words

    “A Home” is in that boy’s perspective and past tense as well except that the boy is all grown up now. This poem is basically about how Korea was like after the Japanese retreated. It’s about how Japan sort of influenced Korean culture in a sense and how the main parts of Korean culture was kept hidden only to be spread out after the Japanese retreated. I wrote this poem in this specific way because I thought that was the best way to connect a historical event to Korean culture. I thought it was interesting to tell the readers what Japan had to do with Korean culture as well. To emphasize this, I, again, used a little bit of repetition, rhythm, and a little bit of rhyme. The repetition definitely helped because the…

    Julian Sher wrote the book Somebody’s Daughter: The Hidden Story of America’s Prostituted Children and the Battle to Save Them. In his first couple pages, the author's note mentions that, for the protection of the girls, the names have been changed. The girls’ names who have been changed are already dead, they were murdered. Instead of the terms child prostitute or prostitution, he says that prostituted child is more appropriate. Both, girls and boys, are forced into selling their bodies. The majority are girls and the number of boys is often overlooked. The reason boys often have it easier, is because they take care of themselves. Girls, on the other hand, have it harder. They fall for it easier. The sexual exploitation of children is one…
