    The last three lines of dialogue reaffirm the details we already know, or have at least inferred by now: Walter's extreme betrayal of Keyes, Keyes' hurt caused by this wrong, and the still undying love between the two. Walter had told Keyes he loved him sarcastically in the office one time before in his brusque macho staccato, but when Walter says "I love you too," he means it this time. The repetition of the same line, one a sarcastic barb and one an earnest admission, shows arguably the only growth on Walter's part as an individual, and it is still in fact characterized by his relationship with another.…

    In society we all want to feel accepted and liked by others, but for some it might be harder based on our skin, race or social class. Some people have to go as far as changing their appearance or personality to fit in or “pass” with a certain social class. In the book, To Kill a Mockingbird the idea of duel identities can be seen in the character Calpurnia. Calpurnia is an African American woman in the nineteen thirties working for a white family, but in her free time she is with her African American community. When she was working for the Finches she would use a big vocabulary and her intellect, were as when she would be with her peers she would seem to dumb herself down as not be seen as “too good” for her ethnic group. In the novel Passing by Nella Larsen, the author brings about the issue of how man must change themselves in order to fit in to certain social groups while trying to suppress the belonging of another with the use of characters, a device not only seen in this book but also in To Kill a Mockingbird. Clare Kendry is stuck in society passing as a white woman but she is conflicted about returning to her ethnic line as well as Calpurnia.…

    My Papa's Waltz Analysis

    • 731 Words
    • 3 Pages

    In “My Papa’s Waltz”, American poet Theodore Roethke transforms the horrid experience of a child being beaten by his father into the romantic and beautiful dance of a waltz. Written in trecet iambs to imitate the relaxing beat of the waltz, the poet installs some sense of pleasure in the reader. In doing so, Roethke makes the subject of a beating more readable and lessening the effect of the drunkenness makes the speaker’s father more forgivable. The lucidity of diction and imagery throughout Roethke’s poem distracts from the underlying dark metaphor of a son being beaten by his drunk father to a graceful waltz.…

    Walter Mead Analysis

    • 2 Pages

    Walter Mead explains to American interest about why alumni are really giving money to the school and how to gain more alumnus in the future in a very honest sense. Universities want to portray alumni as giving to help the school improve in academics, like when they were in school, but really alumni give because of the memories. I highly agree with Mead and how the Universities need to gain more alumni by getting them to have more cherished memories when they are students; so they remember those memories when they are older. I already have great memories with USD even though I am only a sophomore, but I will remember all my memories I have been creating while attending USD for as long as I live. It is a “tribal” love that the university brings for the students to bring them back later in their life to have them become alumnus.…
