Ordinary People How I relate to Conrad garret is if I got in a fight I wouldn’t feel bad about the situation because I would have had a reason to fight back and not just let someone get away with what something the other person did. I’m just not the type to let shit go and then feel bad afterword sim more of if I win the fight I would feel like I’m the shit after not go upstairs and cry myself to sleep like that’s just not going to happen because in a man’s nature its ok to have feelings but after

In the passage when Juana “needs a man‚” by using repetition and hyperbole‚ John Steinbeck conveys to the reader that while men often think that they are more important than women‚ women are just as important as men. For example‚ the author states that Juana “knew [the differences between men and women] and accepted them and needed them.” Repeating different verbs followed by the word “them” is an example of repetition. By using repetition in this phrase the author emphasizes Juana’s internal emotions

Is Steinbeck preparing or prejudicing the reader? There seems to be a contradiction in how Curley’s wife should be viewed. In his letter to Claire Luce Steinbeck says that Curley’s wife is “A nice‚ kind girl and not a floozy.” But then Steinbeck allows other characters to speak about her in a gossipy manor. “I think Curley’s married a … tart.” From the evidence of the letter I do not feel that Steinbeck is prejudicing the reader against Curley’s wife. I feel he is doing this to prepare the reader

There are many parallels that can be found between Henrik Ibsen’s An Enemy of the People and Steven Spielberg’s Jaws. Both follow respected men who go against authority and majority opinion to save the lives of the people around them. These productions are iconic in their field‚ but it is not because of their story but because of their message: Tyranny of the Majority and Dangers of Ignorance. In An Enemy of the People there is pollution in the water‚ in Jaws‚ Spielberg chooses to poison the water

The power of greed can destroy people and their wonderful and simple lives.

The author showed greed throughout the book by using foreshadowing‚ symbolism‚ and characterization. John Steinbeck‚ the author‚ used all of these devices to show that greed was able to take over people’s souls and change their

do sins and virtues differ in Steinbeck’s views‚ society’s views‚ and my personal views. Steinbeck sees sins and virtues as similar‚ while the general society views sins as the defiance of God‚ with virtues being the correct way to appease good. In my opinion‚ virtues and sins have become too convoluted that it is difficult to differentiate between the two. The author of The Grapes of Wrath‚ John Steinbeck has clearly identified sin and virtues through his eyes. Jim Casey‚ one of the stories side
