Sethe's Beloved

In All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Remarque, soldiers show that they see the earth as a motherly figure through the use of apostrophe and personification in a compassionate tone to support them through the trauma of war. Remarque shows apostrophe in Paul's quote, "Earth!--Earth!--Earth!." Paul is shown to be calling out compassionately to the earth as if it was his own mother. The use of apostrophe shows that the earth is being addressed although it is an inanimate object. This shows that Paul is compassionate about the earth and sees it as a living person and in his case, he sees the earth as a mother like figure. This helps him through the trauma of war because seeing the earth as a motherly figure gives Paul comfort. A good

Missoula, Montana in the 1930’s was far from similar to Classical Greece and Rome, yet similar tragic characters were woven into legend. Though he may not have had a royal entourage or battle for the crown, Paul Maclean’s life was a tragedy, though in a different way. Due to his stature, potential, tragic flaw, and recognition and acceptance of his fate, Paul Maclean was a classic tragic hero.

The story “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson is a short story of horror and realism. On June 27th on a late summer morning, the villagers of a small New England village gatherd together in the town square to conduct their annual lottery. There is a black box on a stool and in the box there is pieces of paper in the box. Each person from a family get one paper from the black box even the children get a piece of paper and every stayed quiet and nervouse. Then Bill Hutchinson looked at the paper and notice that he got the black dot. So then Tessie starts to complain that the drawing was not set up properly (Jackson). In “The Lottery,” Shirley Jackson uses the symbolism, characterization, and theme to develop this short story.

My question: Think about the ending of the story. Describe it. How did it reflect on the rest of the novel? Was it satisfying?

The main point of this story, Tangerine, by Edward Bloor, is how the people that society look down upon see things from different points of view. An example of this is the main character, Paul, who society looks down upon, as they consider him blind, however, he often sees what others do not and has excessive knowledge of the world around him. Even though he sees everything, he does not say what he knows and others do not ask him, for they believe he has no knowledge of the problems. After moving to Tangerine, he sees his brother doing horrible things and his parents none the wiser. His friend suffers at the hands of his brother and consequently, ends up dying, and afterwards, Paul feels much guilt for the words unsaid. Since many people look down upon Paul, he notices facts and clues society does not, however, he fears saying something, in which causes his friend to end up dying

Have you ever felt that your view of things change when you get older? Well, that’s how Jacqueline Woodson felt. As we grow and change, so do our perspectives on a variety of things that we experience in life. In the beginning, Woodson introduces that since she got older, her perspective of her once beloved home has changed as a central idea of the story. By observing how her character changes over the course of the plot, it seems evident that Woodson is trying to convey to the reader that a person’s view of things change as one gets older.

During World War II, the United States discovered that the energy of the atom could be used in a new form of bomb. However, the Germans also discovered this, meaning that it would be a race to actually complete the weapon. The U.S. knew it needed to act fast and so three facilities were created for the development of the weapon in Washington, New Mexico, and Tennessee. The plants in Tennessee were based in almost the middle of nowhere. The land had to be procured from farmers before building the worksites and the new town where the workers would live: Oak Ridge. When this new town was built on its swampy footing, it was a total secret. The rest of the world had no clue that Oak Ridge, Tennessee existed, and those working there couldn’t

I enjoy following the journeys of Paul Baumer. Out of all the characters in All

The reason I really didn’t like this chapter because Seth gets beat up real bad in this chapter: “Coarsen crushed his knees into Seth’s chest.” (70) And another example of bullying is when Coarsen shouted, ‘One, Two, Three!’ he shouted and Seth was dragged through the grass and into the weeds of the tree patch.” (71) There was definitely a lot of graphic language in this chapter a lot of f-bombs and a-holes being said throughout the chapter. One f-bomb was said by Coarsen “Holy Fuck,” (71) and by: “We ain’t got time for this shit. Heinie’ll be back any fucking minute.” (71) The point of view of this chapter is third person limited and the author works well to show how others’ actions impact on the main

While driving down a country road in Nebraska, they hit a young boy, the child seemed to have already been dead when he was hit, suffering a cut to the throat.

Without ever uttering a single word, Charley Edwards possibly had the greatest positive and negative effect on Paul in the story Paul’s Case. Charley Edwards is a teen performer at the local theater, and Paul’s love interest. In one paragraph, Charley made Paul the happiest boy in the world; but in the next Paul became even more alone than he had ever been. How can the man, who never verbalizes a word, have such a profound and life altering impact on Paul?

This reveals that Sethe’s friend Ella a former indentured servant had this happen to her. Sethe says this and possibly believed it happened because of her insight to what happened to Ella to make the story a more relatable and beliveble one. She also tells Denver this to cover up the real truth of what happened to Beloved all those years ago. The reference to Ella that Sethe made serves as an explanation to Sethe’s thoughts and makes an example out of the fact that things like this did happen serving as proof, her friend from the past Ella. Sethe uses this as a way to hide the past and acknowledge what really happened to Beloved all those years ago, because she does not want to have “rememory” of it. She then chooses to acknowledge the hatred that Beloved had for Paul D as a product of these horrific events she paints a picture
