Summary Of Mayor's Abusing Maribel

297 Words2 Pages

I don’t believe Mayor is abusing Maribel because he stood up for her when no one else would and stayed by her side. Evidence for this is in chapter 8, where he stands up for her when Garrett confronts her for the first time, waits with her outside till her mom gets there, and on Sunday dinners when his family has her family over instead of going to his room he is with her. I believe after that moment they became a beginning of something special with evidence on page 74, “After that, something between Maribel and me changed.” The big changing point in there relationship is at Christmas when he gives her a red alpaca scarf and gets a kiss! Even though it doesn’t say they become dating, but with common thinking it was the start. I also think that

  • Analysis Of Jacqueline Woodson's When A Southern Town Broke A Heart

    433 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the story, When a Southern Town Broke a Heart, Jacqueline Woodson uses a variety of symbolism and metaphor to show that when you get wiser, your perception of things change. One example of Woodson conveying this theme is when she writes, “When the deep green beauty revealed my place and time in history and laid claim to that moment all children know, when the tendrils of adulthood move toward us, showing themselves long before we are ready to see.” This quote describes when she realized the nostalgia of her home was masking the bitter and unfortunate side that “adulthood” is showing her. This directly relates to the theme because as she becomes wiser and more experienced, (the tendrils of adulthood) her perception changes. (showing themselves long before we are ready to see.)

By analyzing the story and applying theories like “The Prince” and “Homo Sacer”, this essay will draw the conclusion that his revenge was intended and planned out of human reason.

    These days’ children are causing more harm than good in their communities, and it isn’t their fault. In the Time Magazine article, “Children without Pity” by Nancy Traver, Traver provides examples of corrupted children performing acts that healthy kids wouldn’t do. Their misguided past has affected their present causing them to react in violent behavior. For this reason, I believe that children should not be tried as adults. Kids have only seen and grown up around violence, so violence is what they result to.

However, when the revolution only seeks revenge, it fosters more violence and creates a more oppressed society. The French Revolution while successful in the sense that it overthrew the government, has one dangerous aspect in common with oppression: violence. This revolution is depicted in A Tale of Two Cities by Dickens, where the persecuted peasants of France start a rebellion to try and achieve revenge government. However, by using violence as the primary method to abolish the government and boasting about the dominance of the revolution through the Carmagnole, the revolutionaries discredit themselves.
