Answer: Many of the man in the book have been rude toward the girls in the book. They thought that their action is the right thing to do, since they have the Dominican Pride.

    For this reason, I chose this passage since this was the moment that Beli's life has permanently altered subsequent that unmerciful beating occurrence. This passage stood out while I was reading it and left an impression of heartbreak knowing the pain that Beli had to endure. After that merciless beating, I believe Beli lost confidence in humanity and died on the inside. In fact, I do not approve of violence also I disapprove of men laying a hand on any women under any circumstances. Beli's boyfriend Gangster took advantage of her because she was young and naive. Meanwhile, Beli fell for all of Gangster's dishonesty and believe all of his broken promises. Older men tend to take advantage of young girls and mold them when they are…

    Larry Lasalle Heroes

    • 820 Words
    • 4 Pages

    However, even by this stage the reader is empathising with Francis, and therefore doubts that LaSalle may not be the victim. The character of Larry LaSalle is also used to partly deceive the reader. This is done by constantly describing him as a hero and the perfect mentor. Quotes such as 'the best of the best', 'movie star smile', portray a heroic image of him which intrigues the audience. However after the rape scene the reader begins to see Larry LaSalle in a whole new way, raising questions about whether is he a hero, or a villain? This mystery about LaSalle's character is sustained through the book, as we see him in two different lights . Despite LaSalle's dazzling 'movie-star' good looks when he arrives in the town, there is a sense of uneasy mystery about him, as to why he turned his back on show business, as shown through the character of Joey LeBlanc. This is how his character is perceived to be in first instance, a hero in the eyes of everyone in Frenchtown. Francis depicts Larry LaSalle to have a 'movie star smile' and 'Fred Astaire strut' adding to his hero persona in the first instance, but leading the reader into thinking whether anyone can really be that perfect without any ulterior motives? A good example…

    The first, and arguably the most abundant, use of irony in “The Cask of Amontillado” is verbal irony. Verbal irony is when a character says one thing but means another, or uses words to convey a meaning that is opposite of their literal meaning. When Montresor first greets Fortunado in the streets of the Carnival festival, he says, “My dear Fortunado, you are luckily met.” (5) In…

    The vaults are insufferably damp. They are encrusted with nitre.” “Let us go, nevertheless. The cold is merely nothing. Amontillado! You have been imposed upon. And as for Luchesi, he cannot distinguish Sherry from Amontillado”. (Meyer,741).Montresor knows that Fortunato is a very arrogant man. What is so ironic about this conversation is that Montresor seems to care about Fortunato’s health and yet he wants to murder him. Another example; of irony would be when Montresor tells all of servants to stay home for the night. The last example of irony , would be that they are set in the middle of the Catacombs and how Fortunato asks Montresor if he is in the Masons. ““You do not…

    The town of Freeport was considered “suburban utopia” (Bockris, 7). If you can imagine the young, budding rocker growing up within the confines of this area, not being able to escape the squeaky clean image of it all, you can begin to see why he would rebel so extremely against it. The town began to stand for the establishment he hated. It was almost disturbing to him that he had been forced to grow up with his shy and boring father in a stereotypically middle class fashion(Bockris, 8). Although his dad was shy and without much of a personality, he did have a dry and biting sense of Yiddish humor, “A Yiddish compliment is a smack, a backhand.…

    Male superiority and the subordination of women are sustained with the conformity of both men and women. The male domination seems to be a social norm accepted and followed by al people in the society. Men are showing their stereotyped perception on women, like Leonato jokes about his daughter as ‘Her mother hath many times told me so’ and Benedick ‘as being a professed tyrant to their sex’ implies their confirmed perception of women to justify their superiority in the society. Women are viewed as a possession and property of men that Benedick brings out the idea of purchase to ‘buy her that you inquire after her’. Women are linked with the image of cuckold when Benedick regards that ‘I will have a recheat winded in my forehead’ and ‘pluck off the bull’s horn and set them on forehead’. The idea of cuckold focuses on woman’s disloyalty that brings out the mentality of men that women are wicked as ‘beauty is a witch’ and women do not deserve as much as men do. With their stereotyped image, the male superiority is confirmed by men. On the other hand, the readiness of women shows that they conform to the male domination and willing to submit to men. Hero…

    Throughout The Outsiders, violence is depicted in numerous ways. The Greasers and Socials use violence towards one another regularly in the story. For instance, the story begins with a group of Socials jumping a Greaser. However, the author tries to convey to the reader why violence is never the answer. In the text, she attempts to get through to the reader that violence does not resolve anything for both groups. By trying to explicate this through the text, she conveys to the reader how violence is the theme of the story.…

    Gangster of Love

    • 1122 Words
    • 5 Pages

    For the solo novel I read The Gangster of Love by Jessica Hagedorn. I chose the book because I read Dogeaters for the group novel and I really liked Hagedorn’s style of storytelling also, it sounded interesting from the group presentation. The Gangster of love is a coming of age story told in the perspective of Rocky Rivera (for the most part). Other parts of the story are told from an omniscient point of view so she can give the thoughts and feelings of other characters. I notice that Hagedorn likes to use different points of views within one novel. She has an almost schizophrenic way of telling stories through including the thoughts of all her characters through a combination of omniscient and first person point of views. The main characters of the book are Rocky the youthful, innocent and hopeful narrator; Voltaire, Rocky’s hippie older brother who in my best words can be described as crazy or insane; Rocky’s mother Milagros who even in her poor status still believed she was upper class and behaved as such; and finally Rocky’s companions Elvis and Keiko. The book takes place during the 1970’s and 1980’s in places such as Manila, San Francisco and New York.…
