John And Lorraine Character Analysis
John and Lorraine tries being a grownup, but lacks experience. They change from completely acting like a child to acting like adults during their kiss. Adults are older, experienced, and serious. Kids are young, innocent, and lack a lot of experience. The biggest difference between grownups and children are grownups have a lot of experience and children don’t. Before their kiss, John and Lorraine are left alone in Mr. Pignati’s house while, Mr. Pignati is in the hospital. Lorraine attempts to make dinner, while John went upstairs and puts on the Pigman’s suit. When Lorraine sees him, she felt like she didn’t look pretty for him to notice her. She runs upstairs and puts on one of Conchetta’s white dresses, an ostrich feather in her hair, make up, and high heels. John sees her and thinks …show more content…
Pignati and his wife would do, but they play around with it and turn it into a very childish thing. John growled like a monkey to Lorraine and she was laughing about it, they were having a lot of fun until they realize they weren’t acting anymore. They try being adults by acting like Mr. Pignati and his wife, making dinner, and finally kissing, but the only love that they witnessed was from Mr. and Mrs. Pignati. In the book, chapter 11, page 141, it states, “We each sat at opposite ends of the table with the candles burning away.” John and Lorraine just sit there looking at each other drinking wine and eating their congealed spaghetti like grownups might do when they are having a romantic dinner. They try being adults in this quote and almost make it work, but in the end, they don’t know what to do after this happens. Their parents didn’t take the time giving these kids a good childhood, it’s already affecting them badly, making them tangled on love. They keep going back and forth also because their parents never showed them what love is

In the beginning of the film, Edwards has high hopes to head the first expedition to make it across the U.S., but while he has the want and the money, he is a sheltered man who knows nothing of the wilderness.

    Feeling sorry for someone, but not agreeing with them. As humans we have all felt this feeling at least once in our lifetime. In the book The Awakening, by “Kate Chopin” Kate Chopin sympathizes with the main character Edna but doesn’t pity her. I agree with Kate, because even though she’s married with Leonce a man that she doesn't love and has children with him, she is still free not attached to him at all. Another reason I agree with Kate is that she doesn’t pity Edna. She spends time and loves Robert rather than loving her own husband.…
