My Favorite Chaperone By Jean Lewis Okimoto Analysis
The theme that I found in “My Favorite Chaperone” written by Jean Davies Okimoto, is that siblings always watch out for each other no matter what. I chose that theme because Maya’s brother, Nurzhan got into a fight at school which caused her to miss her gymnastics meet, but she defended him to their father. Then Nurzhan helped Maya get permission to go to a school dance. This story had two settings which was their home, and their school. The protagonist in this story was Maya. Maya wanted to go to the school dance but her parents didn’t want her to go because they are strict. “My Favorite Chaperone”has a mood that is sad and has surprises in it. The climax of the story is when Maya’s mom breaks her leg at work and Maya has to step in and fulfill

    Analysis on "Kindred" by Octavia Butler Essay Example

    Throughout Butler Octavia's novel Kindred, there are several examples of female characters who tend to challenge women's traditional roles. Dana is the main character who should be considered a dynamo considering how independent she is during the point of time she travels to (the 1800s). Women have been seen for a long time as not being independent because they depend on their husbands to support them while they stay at home taking care of the children, I do not believe this to be true. I will give evidence of different reasons why I think that Dana's presence in this story challenge the traditional roles and views throughout history.…

    'New World' By Richard Cohen Analysis

    Cohen makes a good case against the hypocritical reasons that the British gave for their treatment of the Native Americans. First, the British did not value the civilization they thrust themselves upon even though it had been successful for thousands of years. The "new world" was not technologically advanced like many European inventions such as the globe, and the black powder weapon; which gave the British the idea that their superior knowledge made them worth more as human beings. Submission to their rule was only alternative for Native Americans. Failing that, then force and treachery were a way to handle the "savages".…

    In the essay “Don’t Blame the Eater”, David Zincezenko talk about how fast food has contributed to the increasing amount of obese and unhealthy children in the U.S. Over the years many people has tried to sue these fast food restaurants like McDonalds, KFC, and Taco Bell for making them fat.

He talk about how his mom worked and didn’t really have time to cook, so to make sure he ate she would have him choose something to eat that would be quick and not the most expensive.

    The Secret By Susan Griffin Analysis

    Griffin argues that everyone in society is a part of a larger matrix; that if we had been born to a different family, in a different time period, or to a different world, we would not be the same people we are today. Throughout her essay, Griffin ties together four seemingly separate people through their fears and secrets. Secrets are very powerful, in that just one secret can impact the lives of many, even if the person keeping the secret has no intentions of hurting anybody or changing the lives of others. While on the other hand, some people keep secrets to protect themselves and do not mind the pain it causes others. No matter how big the secret is, all secrets have penalties and consequences.…

    Always Smiling By Russell Noto Analysis

    Always Smiling, always is a piece is by Russell Noto created in 2014, and is located on the first floor of the Jen library. This piece jumped out at me for many reasons; it had this complex and thought out color scheme, you had light and happy colors in one and then ominous dark colors to really pop out against the white wall background, and with it consisting of two parts you had to do a double take to ponder if they were just obscenely close, or if these very different works of art were actually one whole in the greater layout of everything. After you get to spend some time truly appreciating this piece the overall idea of how people feel we must hide certain emotions becomes more and…

    The Outsiders Siblings

    My essay is about the power of siblings. Both in The outsiders and my essay Siblings bond over death or the thought of death. In The Outsiders Ponyboy and his brothers, including the greasers bonded over the death of his parents and Jonny, their good friend. It’s sad but true, people tend to get closer when they realize how short life is. My brother and I bonded over the fact that we would have to help my mom together. Being able to have someone there for you can give you a sense of safety because believe or not the closest person in your life should be your sibling. I feel bad for people who don’t have older siblings or lost them because they will never know what it’s like to have someone who already went through what you’re going through.…

    A Literary Analysis Of 'My Favorite Chaperone'

    The story "My Favorite Chaperone" was really good and it described everything so well. The theme of this story is to always believe in yourself. Personally, I thought that theme fit the story very well because it played a role in all of the characters throughout the whole story. In the beginning Maya, the protagonist, and her family moves from Kazakhstan to America because they were running out of money. The transition of countries and schools were hard for her and her brother, Nurzhan. Her and her family begin to get comfortable into American customs, but then Nurzhan gets into a scuffle and her parents get angry at them both. While Nurzhan has his conflict Maya has one of her own; she wants to go to her school dance, but she doubts her…
