Examples Of Ponyboy Chapter 1 Dialectical Journal

226 Words1 Page

In chapter one my favorite passage is when Ponyboy says “I don’t care about Darry. But I was still lying and I knew it. I lie to myself all the time. But I never believe me” , because I can relate to what he said in so many ways. For example I’ll tell myself something and I’ll try to believe what I said, but in reality I know what I said is absolutely not true at all! Which now that I think about it is really funny, and I can also connect with Ponyboy on another personal level. When he says “I don’t care about Dally.” I automatically thought about me and how I’ve said I don’t care about someone when I really do. And it made me really feel connected to Ponyboy and the book itself because I can relate to to what’s going on, not just in the passage

    Quotation 1: “...and yet there it was- a black book with silver words written against the ceiling...) (Zusak 29) So far, this quotation marks the first book Liesel has stolen. The significance of this quote is that it represents the beginning of “an illustrious career” (29) which she will continue to carry out throughout this novel. It signifies Liesel’s everlasting love for her brother because she wanted to remember him someway, and that someway ended up being the book she “stole” when he was buried.

    1. The David Copperfield reference was written to show irony. The first time we meet Holden he says “… the first thing you’ll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like and how my parents were occupied before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of [stuff]…” (Salinger 1). Holden makes fun of David Copperfield and how he says that he won’t get into that kind of stuff.

While she grows up she is taught life lessons and learns to see people in different ways. Some people she learns more about are Tom Robinson, a man who her father is defending in court, and Boo Radley, her neighbor who never comes out of his house.

    1) In this quote, the term being used is metaphor because Life and Game are two completely different things but they are being compared to each other like if they are similar. 2) I think the author’s purpose for using this term is that he explains that Holden feels alone because he doesn’t feel like he is winning. 3) This quote revolves around the overall theme because it shows that Holden is isolated from everybody around him. 4) • I really like this dislike this idea because Holden is wrong you need to play according to the rules to win not be on the winning side. • I think this idea seems important because it is an inspiration quote to live by even though Holden doesn’t believe it; this is how life goes it is in reality.
