When She Stood Out To Me Analysis
One quote that stood out to me was when Jennings was talking to one of the sisters at an orphanage about why he could not just keep the stuffed animal. She responded with this, "Yes, it would be. But not everyone would love them and take care of them as you would. I wish I could give them all away tomorrow." She looked at me. There were tears in her eyes. "But I can't. My heart would break if I saw just one of those animals lying by the wayside uncared for, unloved. No, Jennings. It's better if we keep them together”(Jennings ). I thought of this as the sister trying to reference the stuffed animals as children. Life is cruel to some people, even children. There should be no children living without a home.
I am lucky person to have a life

    Mary Norris Between You And Me Analysis

    If you’re looking for a good, quick memoir to read during the winter months and need to brush up on your commas and dashes, I highly recommend Mary Norris’s Between You & Me: Confessions of a Comma Queen. The book begins as a memoir, Norris explaining her journey from Ohio to Vermont to New York, along the way learning to drive a milk truck, package cheese, and eventually proof pieces for the New Yorker. It’s a good book on a number of levels, the first being that Norris puts grammar in layman’s terms and understands the mistakes those of us who aren’t copy-editors often make. The next is that she is a likable narrator.…

    The Girl On The Magazine Chapter 5 Analysis

    In The Girl on the Magazine Cover chapter five, the author explains how American history and mass media shaped the image of women. Carolyn Kitch writes about stereotypes for women in the 1900’s and how their origins were created through propaganda posters. Kitch argues how women were represented in two different views during the war times. The “Militant Victory” idea presented women as strong and courageous and was seen as the “New Woman” personality. The contradiction of this was “The Protecting Angel” where women were depicted as angels and nurses who displayed values of the COTW, protecting the conservative notions about females.…

    Laurie Halse Anderson Speak Analysis

    This summer I read Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. The story begins with Melinda, the narrator, starting ninth grade. Everyone, even her old friends, won't talk to her. It's later announced that during the summer, Melinda called the police on a party and it got shut down. After this incident, Melinda became the most hated girl in her school. Something horrible happened to Melinda at the party that she hasn't told anyone about. She shuts herself in, withdrawing from school, her family, and any possibility of friendship. The reason that Melinda called the cops in the party was because she was raped. She becomes completely isolated and eventually becomes mute. Melinda’s emotional scar created by her experience leads her to cut class, steal passes, and cut herself. Very few people try to get her out of the shell, except for one of her teachers. At the end of speak, the same guy who raped her at the party strikes again. This time, Melinda says no, and this simple word makes her…

She accompanied Jost on Saturday night live,a comedy show that has been running since 1975, when they began discussing Lupita Nyong’o who was named the most beautiful person in the world.

    Character Analysis Of John Steinbeck's Of Mice And Men

    Quotes from the book show how useless Candy and his dog are, being old, disabled, and not being able to do work. Showing the stereotype of the elderly in this time. And they also show the relationship of Lennie and George, just with different characters. These characters are important to understand because of one: they show the stereotype of the elderly and disabled during the great depression; and two: they show the relationship of Lennie and George and foreshadow the end of the book. Tying the symbol and character back to the quote, [Candy] said miserably, "You seen what they done to my dog tonight? They says he wasn't no good to himself nor nobody else”(Steinbeck 60). It shows both the side of not being useful and also, the relationship and foreshadowing of George and…

    The horrors of slavery is one that should not be made light of. The dehumanization of blacks during this time, forced our ancestors to endure the most devastating genocide in human history. On one episode of the tv show, Saturday night live, Host and cast member Colin Jost and Leslie Jones discuss the actress Lupita Nyong’o being named as People Magazine's “Most beautiful person”. Jones questions the standards that defy beauty by comparing America today to America in slavery times. Although Jones's rant is seemingly subversive because it emphasizes the fact that black women are undervalued, while simultaneously challenging the standards of beauty, Jones reference to a sensitive topic in our county’s history in order to prove this point-…

    Awkward Black Girl Analysis

    Issa Rae has always been an awkward girl; she’s always worn the wrong pants, kissed the wrong boy, and felt the wrong way, or simply been the wrong girl. The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl is a dazzling collection of essay about growing up learning to love the things in your life that makes it unique, even when those things also make it mighty awkward. She writes about being a black girl who just cannot dance, about being unhappy working in cubicle as her web series was taking off, about not arriving at a personal fashion sense, about honest, insightful, and laugh-out-loud funny and of course arrestingly awkward. One of the best books I ever read was “The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl” written by Issa Rae; it is the best because it tackles subjects like the misadventures of the internet, her being black and growing up watching television.…

    Love Your Brother In John Steinbeck's Of Mice And Men

    In John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men, he portrays love as an important part of human nature. Without love or companionship, Steinbeck shows how someone will become monstrous. An instinct in every person causes a horrified reaction to the calloused actions of the uncaring in Steinbeck’s story. Lennie is Steinbeck’s best example of love untainted by the world, as his mental condition doesn’t allow him to learn much, not absorbing the apprehensive, bitter habits that mask other people’s hearts. He shows love most bluntly, making an effort to befriend every creature and character, oblivious to his habit to physically hurt. When Candy’s dog is killed, Steinbeck shows a little caring in the other men, limited as it is, showing that…

    They Left All the Weak Ones Here

    In section 4 of the novel “of mice and men”, George and the ranchers have left the “weak ones” at the ranch and gone into town. Although Curley’s wife is the one who refers to them as the “weak ones”, she herself is included in this group. The theme which is emphasised in this section is the overriding theme that humanity is small and fragile in comparison with the forces that control our lives. Steinbeck shows great compassion to this group of people, he describes is great detail before this section of the hopes and dreams of each and every one of “the weak ones” and how they will never be achieved. In this group are four people, each with their own problems, stories and hopes, this actual event occurs in Crook’s room where crooks, Lennie and candy are talking about their dream of owning a small farm and “live on the fatta the lan’.”.

    The New Woman Analysis

    The New Woman was conveyed through the artists illustrations beginning in the 1880’s and continuing through the years, ending in the 1920’s. These images such as the works titled, “What Are We Coming To”, “In a Twentieth Century Club”, “Picturesque America”, and “Women Bachelors In New York”, all conveyed this idea of a “New Woman”. The qualities that a New Woman must have included a woman who pursued the highest education and made effort to move up in the professional world. “She (the New Woman) also demonstrated new patterns of private life, from shopping in the new urban department stores, to riding bicycles, and playing golf.” (pg. 374) The artists attempted to create this perfect all around woman who’s lives closely resembled what the men of that time were doing. Such as in figure 6.8 titled “In a Twentieth Century Club” which shows women dressed in clothing which closely resembled that of a mans attire for that era, at leisure, socializing with other woman. This “club” looked very similar to a men’s drinking and eating club. “ Although role reversal still provides the humor, the women waitresses and patrons are physically attractive, while the women’s unladylike posture and clothing would have been viewed as shocking equally significant is the cross dressing entertainer.” (pg. 374) Not only did artists attempt to convey a way that the New Woman should act, but they also created this popular physical image of what one should look like such as the Gibson Girls pictured in image 6.9. Most all of the illustrations showed a white woman of the leisure class, however African American women still envisioned and strived to become a New African American Woman.…

    How Does Ray Bradbury's Impact On His Audience

    To begin, i think that we should cherish what we have and even if we don't have all the things that we want we should value the things that we do have. For example in the book page 20 Helen is complaining about not having enough money to buy a new wall and knocking the one they have down just to put a tv screen on it. In my personal opinion i think that you should cherish what you have and be thankful. For example back then i'm pretty sure that you couldn't afford a lot of things, And that's one of the quotes i think give a message to the audience.…

    Dysfunction In The Glass Menagerie

    Tennessee Williams’ play The Glass Menagerie gives its audience a glance into the life of a family that can only be described as the definition of dysfunction. At the beginning of the play, the Wingfield family is introduced to us as the typical family, just struggling to get by. Delma E. Presley, an English professor at Georgia Southern University, even describes Amanda’s impulse to preserve her single-parent family as something that is as familiar as the morning newspaper (53). But as the story continues, we see this family’s issues rise to the surface. Almost immediately, we are introduced to each character’s difficulties and how they escape the entrapment of their unhappiness. In this play, it is made clear that the source of their problems…
