The Luncheon on the Grass
Felix Wilson
Mrs. Martha Alston
English 102-102
September 28, 2009
A Small, Good Thing 1. The protagonist in this story was Ann Weiss in my opinion. The way she interacted with others and expressed her feelings with everyone she came in contact makes me see her as the protagonist. Having the ability to express her true feelings and let the readers know how she is thinking makes this choice very easy. 2. Ann communicated with several people in this story starting with the Baker. Talking with the young man Franklin parents is another example of her exchanging words with others. Scotty Doctors, Her Husband was subject to lots of her communication. Ann had no problems communicating with others, but she still felt a little uneasy going into deep conversations. Being timid and pessimistic was her character at the beginning of knowing a person, but once she becomes comfortable, only a pair of ear plugs will do. 3. This story begins with Ann Weiss going to the Bakery one morning to purchase a cake for her soon to eight year old son. Ironically, this story also ends in the same exact place where it began. The analysis to story as it relates to A Hero’s Journey is that her joy, sadness, and comfort could all be found in one common element. Conversation and bread had proven to be a staple in more ways than one. The Call=to the death of their son. The Guide=Howard, Ann’s Husband. The Road of Trials= The death of Scotty. The Boon=Having and showing compassion for others, for example the Baker. Return= The trip bake to the bakery. The Call=Ann Weiss realizes that through the death of her son it only makes her more willing to consider others and their situations before judging

    The classic story line of the hero’s journey can be recognized in almost every book, movie, or short story written. Even in some stories that would not be that obvious, such as the historical fiction novel The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd. Although not very recognizable two out of the three main stages of the hero’s journey are departure and initiation. These are apparent through out Lily’s journey to find herself and her mother’s history. The third main stage, return, is not as apparent in the novel.…

    Protagonist in Trifles

    The controversial question that ambles, then gains every readers eye and eventually turns into a debate when reading Susan Glaspell’s one act play, Trifles, is who is the protagonist? There are seven characters in Trifles and only one of them is the protagonist. One might argue that Mrs. Peters or Mrs. Hale is the protagonist because of the disclosure of their feelings and their constant dialogue about Mr. Wright, who is dead, and Mrs. Wright, who is now in jail for murdering her husband. No, there is not enough profound and sound evidence to support that argument; however, the evidence that supports Mrs. Wright as the protagonist is overwhelming. Mrs. Wright is clearly the protagonist when identifying the antagonist(s), observing the transformation of Minnie Foster to Mrs. Wright, and by realizing what the sympathies from Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters for Mrs. Wright actually mean.…

    Originally titled as Le Bain, means the bath; Luncheon on the Grass was exhibited at the Salon de Refuses in 1863. It is painted with oil on a large canvas by Édouard Manet created in between 1862 and 1863. The painting represents the contrast between a female nude with fully clothed men in a rural setting. By that time, normally woman in paintings didn’t look at viewers straight, especially with nudes. Traditionally, nude models mostly looked away from the view. But however, Manet’s naked female model straightly stares at the viewer. This was shocking, but also challenging at the same time. The Luncheon on the Grass, received a great attention by causing public scandal with nude female and painting was success through setting, color, technique, composition and light.…
