The Outcasts Of Poker Flat Summary
The Outcasts of Poker Flat is a short story filled with connotations of redemption and imbued with an incredible kind of misconception that only the most arrogantly self-righteous could conceive. Its primary purpose is to act as a cautionary tale about a seemingly respectable judgment that unjustly condemns four people to their untimely ends. Harte’s story is set in an 1800’s settlement brimming with discord and mistrust. After a series of very unfortunate events the townspeople decide to exile the “undesirables” of the town. And so, Harte’s ragtag group of outcasts are thrown together in a dire bid for survival. In the beginning the reader is only made aware of the labels Poker Flat had given the refugees and thus inevitably forms a negative

    Outcasts of Poker Flat

    .......However, cooler heads ruled that Oakhurst deserved only banishment. Armed men accompany Oakhurst and other undesirables–including “The Duchess” and “Mother Shipton,” both prostitutes, and “Uncle Billy,” a drunk suspected of sluice robbery–to the edge of town. (In gold mining, a sluice is a sloping trough, or gutter, that conveys water containing stones, pebbles, sand, and possibly gold. Grooves on its bottom separate gold from the stones and grit). There, the armed men warn the outcasts not to return to Poker Flat under penalty of death.…

    Tadeusz Borowski - Ladies and Gentlemen to the Gas Chamber

    In the story we come across several examples of moral dilemmas. Some characters or people choose to stand up for what is right, while others choose to give up their morals. The reason why some choose to set aside their morals is a simple and easy choice for some. They chose to give up their morals because they (the narrator and Henri being some of these characters) feel it will increase their chances of survival by taking on a task necessary for the operations of the camp to continue. This moral defilement ensures that you will not be able sent to the “smokestack” and guarantee a little bit better camp life then the others that choose to stand up for what is right. We will now look at some examples and quotes from the story that portray the events of those who gave up their morals and those who stood morality.…

    Theme Of Outcast Of Poker Flats

    In Bret Harte’s, “Outcast of Poker Flats” there are four major themes the author explores. Fate is a condition which the characters have little control. The outcasts are subject to various forms of unlucky fate that no one could have expected. For example, the unexpected blizzard that hits them just after they begin their voyage, which leads to their deaths. Heroism is another theme, seen best in the character of John Oakhurst.…

    The Outcasts Of Poker Flat

    Speaking of regionalistic qualities, The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County and The Outcasts of Poker Flat are very much alike when it comes to their characters. The dialect used in both stories indicates that the setting must be somewhere in the “Wild West”. For example, in Twain’s story, Simon Wheeler is telling the narrator tall tales about some fellow named Jim Smiley and his tone tells you exactly the type of man he is: somewhat unintelligent compared to the narrator. The sentence structure is different from what the narrator is used to. Twain used the word “ketched” in his story instead of ‘caught’ to indicate how Simon was pronouncing his words, and it gives the reader a clear understanding of how people of this town talked (Twain…

    The outcast were exiled from the town of Poker Flat. "It was distant a day’s severe travel. In that advanced season, the party soon passed out of the moist, temperate regions of the foot-hills into the dry, cold, bracing air of the Sierras." The brutal environment would test the outcasts ability to survive. Since the group was not prepared for the cold temperatures or the dangerous Sierras survival seemed futile. The outcast start to give up "Toward morning they found themselves unable to feed the fire, which gradually died away. As the embers slowly blackened, the Duchess crept closer to Piney, and broke the silence of many hours: “Piney, can you pray?” “No,…

    Is There Compassion in the Air

    Ascher initiates her article by taking the readers on a journey through her use of an anecdote. Starting with a description of a homeless man, “His button less shirt, with one sleeve missing, hangs outside the waist of his baggy trousers… As he crosses Manhattan’s Seventy-Ninth Street, his gait is the shuffle of the forgotten ones held in place by gravity rather than plans.” (1) Ascher begins to give her audience a feel for what the typical homeless person is viewed as; someone shaggy and different from sophisticated city people. She instigates her argument by using this statement to indicate to her audience that the homeless are being forgotten; therefore, is receiving a lack of compassion. “The others on the corner, five men and women waiting for the crosstown bus, look away,” (2) By stating that the men and women looked away, Ascher is revealing to her audience that not only are the homeless being forgotten, but they are also being overlooked. Ending her anecdote about the homeless man, Ascher begins to give her audience a taste of her critical tone: “The mother grows impatient and pushes the stroller before her, bearing the dollar like a cross.” (5) The simile, “bearing the dollar like a cross,” suggests that Ascher is purposefully being judgmental of the mother. This reveals that the mother’s goal is to simply get rid of the homeless man, rather than showing him a little bit of compassion.…

    Out of This Furnace is Thomas Bell’s most compelling achievement. Its story of three generations of an immigrant Slovak family -- the Dobrejcaks - still stands as a fresh and extraordinary accomplishment. The novel begins in the mid-1880s with the naive blundering career of Djuro Kracha. It tracks his arrival from the old country as he walked from New York to White Haven, his later migration to the steel mills of Braddock, and his eventual downfall through foolish financial speculations and an extramarital affair. The second generation is represented by Kracha’s daughter, Mary, who married Mike Dobrejcak, a steel worker. Their decent lives, made desperate by the inhuman working conditions of the mills, were held together by the warm bonds of their family life, and Mike’s political idealism set example for the children. Dobie Dobrejcak, the third generation, came of age in the 1920s determined not to be sacrificed…

    Analysis Of Kenneth Burkes 'No Sins Go Unpunished'

    This paper is written on the pentad diagram by Kenneth Burkes’ theory. Within Burkes’ theory he gives 5 different steps to follow such as, the “act” which is states the person who committed the act, what is going on. The “scene” in what is going on and the situation at hand. The “agent” which involves the people who committed the act, and what were their roles. The “agency” which shows how they people acted and what motivated them to act. Finally the “purpose” in which is shows why they acted in such manor, and what do they want. I will be combining these with the different perspectives of pentad dramatism to the short story about a woman who does not listen and gets killed in return.…

    Set in a small rural town in the 1950’s, Rosalie Ham, the author of the ‘Dressmaker,’ has written the novel in such a way that presents the audience with an exquisitely detailed portrayal of the characters. She critiques the malicious behaviours of many of the townspeople’s values highlighted within the wheat-belt community. Ham challenges the reader to view their ideas and morals through her empathetic portrayal as their actions are understood, however the hypocrisy and bigotry that are exhibited by significant characters depict their idiosyncrasies through Ham’s comedic portrayal.…

    Character Analysis Good Country People

    The short story, “Good Country People”, written by Flannery O’Connor, is a story that captivates one by usage of symbolism and theme. The story centers on the meaning of being a good person, in the sense of leading a Christian, pious life, worthy of salvation. O’Connor contrasts mindless chatter about “good country people” with questions about the true meaning of religious faith. There is also a class hierarchy formed that includes stereotypes about “good country people” and literal and symbolic meanings of events, objects, and characters. Through exclusive use of the third person narrator, O’Connor’s narrative style poises a tension between the realistic (characters in typical settings performing natural acts) and symbolic (where names, signs and other common objects represent larger issues). She also employs the technique of the epiphany, where a single moment of illumination “awakens” the character and reveals the deeper meanings of the text. O’Connor describes the story’s characters as distorted versions of humanity, and virtually none are sympathetic in the traditional nature of the hero or heroine with whom a reader might identify.…

    Striving of the Negro People

    And yet, being a problem is a strange experience,—peculiar even for one who has never been anything else, save perhaps in babyhood and in Europe. It is in the early days of rollicking boyhood that the revelation first burst upon one, all in a day, as it were. I remember well when the shadow swept across me. I was a little thing, away up in the hills of New England, where the dark Housatonic winds between Hoosac and Taghanic to the sea. In a wee wooden schoolhouse, something put it into the boys' and girls' heads to buy gorgeous visiting-cards—ten cents a package—and exchange. The exchange was merry, till one girl, a tall newcomer, refused my card,—refused it peremptorily, with a glance. Then it dawned upon me with a certain suddenness that I was different from the others; or like, mayhap, in heart and life and longing, but shut out from their world by a vast veil. I had thereafter no desire to tear down that veil, to creep through; I held all beyond it in common contempt, and lived above it in a region of blue sky and great wandering shadows. That sky was bluest when I could beat my mates at examination-time, or beat them at a foot-race, or even beat their stringy heads. Alas, with the years all this fine contempt began to fade; for the world I longed for, and all its dazzling…
