Charley’s murder
1)Explain, in your own words, why Edie and Terry may have changed their opinions regarding what must be done about the corruption on the waterfront. Use quotes to support your ideas.
Both Edie and Terrys opinions have changed throughout this scene, in different ways to one another. Terry was never happy with the corruption on the waterfront but he was not one who would speak out and confront Johnny and his mob. After Terry sees that his brother Charlie is murdered by the mob, at this point he is upset and angry with Johnny. In which he takes it further and threatens to kill Johnny with a gun. We see that Terry opinion has changed greatly because before this scene Johnny would not have the guts to hold a gun to Johnny, but since its brother he plans revenge.
Edie in this scene goes against her original opinion – she tries to stop Terry from going to kill/yell at Johnny. Edie knows how terry feels due to the lost of Joey.

2) Write an analysis of the way that filmic techniques have been used to create meaning in this scene.

3)Identify 3 important quotes from this scene.
“Terry, they'll kill you, too”- Edie
“I'm going to take it out of their skulls.” – Terry
“Do what I tell you.”- Terry

Terry seeks revenge

1)Father Barry challenges Terry to be truly brave and to use the truth against Johnny Friendly. During this confrontation he both punches Terry in the face and, at the conclusion of their conversation, orders a beer. How is Father Barry being portrayed in this scene and why?
Father Barry is portrayed by Terry because he says “go to hell” Which is quite offence towards father Barry especially due to the fact that he is part of the church. Father Barry is just trying to help out Terry so that he does not make the wrong decision, telling him rather than killing Johnny sort it out in court. Terry is abusing Father Barry’s beliefs and isn’t being very considerate to the fact that he is trying to do the right thing.

    Though he would often shy away from daunting social situations or tasks, Johnny performed several rather momentous acts of loyalty in his short life. When Ponyboy was being drowned in the park by the group of drunk Socs (Bob and his friends), Johnny acted out of deep concern for himself and his friend by stabbing Bob. This loyalty to Ponyboy cost him a fairly untarnished criminal record, and later, in the succession of events, his life. Johnny’s life was lost in both this act of loyalty, and another- saving the children from the burning church. After Johnny killed Bob, he and Ponyboy fled to an abandoned church on Jay Mountain. When they came back from a short excursion for food and found the church on fire, Johnny used his loyalty to his own belief of the existence of good in the world, and dove into the fire to save the children. Ponyboy described Johnny’s expression while inside the church, capturing a vague idea of how Johnny may have felt to have been doing something wonderful with his life. “I caught on quick look at his face; it was red-marked from falling embers and sweat-streaked, but he grinned at me… That was the only time I can think of when I saw him without that defeated, suspicious look in his eyes. He looked like he was having the time of his life” (Hinton 92). Finally, Johnny was loyal to one person on a regular basis- Dally. Perhaps not as drastic as sacrificing himself or another, but loyalty all the same. Johnny admired Dally, so much so, that when he was on his own deathbed and Dally told him the one thing he had always wanted to hear -that Dally was proud of him- he was so extremely happy, and he had a bit of peace to keep with him when he…

    Terry represents the macho, domineering aspects of patriarchal society.

His dominance and confidence of being able to conquer Herland made him overly arrogant as thinks that the women will flock to him and that he will be able to take over their society and be the king.

    It’s surprising that Ponyboy described Johnny as looking as cool as Darry ever had because before he called him a puppy that was lost, everyone’s “kid brother” and the Gang’s “pet.” He really was pushed over the edge and couldn’t take any more of being silent and not taking action, if it wasn’t for him killing Bob, he and Ponyboy would both be…

    I did not think about the role of Fr. Pfleger as an image of a father for all children who has no father’s figure in the community, that is a good point. The case of John Turner, in Anderson book, is a good example of how those young men in those communities struggle “by the luck of an effective model, or a decent father,” and yet John in his extreme needs, approached to Anderson (an unknown person), looking for an advise of a man, “might I have word with you.” Because Fr. Pfleger lives in the communities for so long, he knows everyone and all the news in the community, he plays not only a role of a “father,” but also as someone with Godly authority. He is a prophetic leader who stands for African American communities in the name of God. Somehow…

    Perhaps the most prominent tension that Hare has presented in this scene is in the relationship between Barry and Sandra. The pair find themselves alone within the police station and immediately the audience understands that they are romantically involved, but are keeping it a secret. “I do get tired of the secrecy. It makes the whole thing seem silly. Assignations. Times and places.” It’s already been made clear that their relationship is strained, with Barry describing it as if it was work. However, it’s through the language of Sandra that the tensions between the two are made obvious to the audience. “Don’t you rather like that?”, “Hasn’t it?”, “is that what you mean?”. Sandra’s frequent questioning suggests annoyance with what Barry’s saying, unable to understand or accept his speech.…

    Johnny has a fairly complex character which contributes to deep thought-processing of the storyline. The author does an excellent job of displaying how you can treat different people, different ways in different situations. Inadvertently, Johnny would be nice to Rab but be unkind to Mr. Tweetie. This is not only Johnny’s imperfection. Many people can be hateful to others because of something they did. Rab was a good example for Johnny because Rab taught Johnny the ten-second rule. The ten-second rule states that if someone does something to you, wait ten seconds before responding. Consequently, this pause will give the person time to apologize if it was an accident or give time to think about what the next decision will be.…

    Initially, Moira and Barry have a seemingly flawless family relationship despite his belief that she is delicate. His influence over her is what seems expected of a father and his child; they are happy to spend time together, but he is still her protector. Contentedly, Barry and Moira partake in a variety of activities together such as “going to foreign films, visiting Seattle, [and] beachcombing.” It is explained that “[a]t one time, they had played chess nearly every day.” These activities demonstrate a healthy father-daughter relationship in which the two are pleased to spend time with one another. In fact, their relationship seems to be so close that Moira divulges secrets to her father through her “signal” of “[lifting] her index finger and [rubbing] the side of her nose” to let him know that “she [is] going to impart a confidence or confess a wrongdoing” such as…

    Today, in the modern world, everyone is equal, both men and women can go to school, people have rights to work, to get health care from the government, to decide what we want to wear or what we want to eat.

Now would you want to live in Elizabethan England? In my opinion, I would not want to live in Elizabethan England because of education and poor standard healthcare.…
