The Glorious Whitewasher Analysis

Individuals can shape a community just as much as a community can shape an individual. In the novel the apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz by Mordecai Richler, there is many prime example of this. A boy, a troublemaker, is shaped greatly by his community because he was trying to please people but at the same time he was trying to seek for attention. Through doing the things that made him the rebellious boy he was, he also shaped his community. Throughout this course we have went over several other texts that show, exponentially how community and individual shape each other.

He pointed out Mr. Cathey consistent bombardments of challenges and how he handle each situation. Every good point in his life such as becoming a father was met with a bad point in which he couldn’t go to school because he became a father. The author allowed us to feel happy for the situations that seemed any reasonable person would feel good about and upset about the unforeseen variables that tend to find Mr. Cathey. The author makes sure you feel the joy and pain of a young man who could have made it to a higher level but came up short because of his bad decision

In chapter 35 we can see the greed really come out in Tom as he wants to free Jim, but whips up an unrealistic idea to get him out. It gets worse as in chapter 42 he admits to knowing Jim was free. Tom devised everything solely for his benefit to become a hero. Tom will clearly never get over his greed, now Pap might have a slightly better chance. Pap’s greed tends to focus more on power and money.

The author does this to help add to the pressure on Gene to tell the truth or to deal with the lie that he made up. In addition, this almost blows the incident out of proportion and this situation almost becomes more stretched out than what it really needed to be. I think Brinker did this so that he could also get the attention of the other boys since it had seemed like he was trying to be the center of attention all along and this was a way to achieve

Richard Wright, in "The Ethics of Living Jim Crow", is ignorant to the era of time in which he is living in. A mere boy playing with cinders seemed a typical game to him. He didn 't fully understand that the boys in which he was "playing" with were trying to cause bodily harm. That was his first lesson of "The Ethics of Living Jim Crow". Many more followed that incident but what grasped my attention and left me continuously reading past my stopping point was the raw graphics the author painted.

He reminds the man that there are other people, even some good ones on the road. This conversation opens up the man to know he has to expand the boy’s world after he dies. The shooting of the flare gun is the father’s way of opening up that world. For someone who went through such great pains to avoid other people in case they were harmful, he takes a chance that would draw attention to them by shooting the flare gun. He tells his son not to take any chances, because he takes a chance for him.

Mark Twain uses dramatic irony to create humor in the text “The Adventure of Tom Sawyer,” by using the characters in the story for example Tom Sawyer. Mark Twain uses Tom Sawyer in the text for humor in the story. Tom Shawyer tricks the neighborhood boys into doing his work by making it look fun and entertaining. In the text Tom Sawyer was kind of being talking to Ben in sarcasm and using words to trick Ben 's mind like he’s brainwashing him. “On page 297 paragraph 23-30” it talked about how Ben wanted to whitewash the fence for Tom Sawyer, “No-is that so?

One of the main ones is that every action has consequences. Brooks demonstrates this by emphasizing the actions of the boys, as well as the last line “Die soon,” which causes the reader to reflect on the actions shown in the poem and infer that they result in death. The importance of education is another message exuded in the text; the grammatical mistakes and explicit statement “[We] left school’ tells the reader that the pool players are uneducated. Holding true to your own morals and beliefs is also projected. The young men are so busy trying to act “real cool,” they do not see that they are going down a dark path.

He starts helping the boys defeat the carnival because he knows it is evil. (179) “First things first. Let’s bone up on history.” Mr. Halloway begins to explain the meaning behind the carnival by describing the way it works. He does this so the boys know exactly what is going on and why Mr. Dark wants them.

He explains how this portrayal of images does not only show the horrendous acts that were going on during that time, but completely put into perspective the actions that Bruno 's father made. He’s been portrayed in such an innocent and loving manner, but he’s running such a horrendous place. It questions whether his father really shows compassion towards his children as he’s able to look past the genocide that he’s so willingly helping create. Harman is therefore successful as he’s getting his message across by portraying such images so vividly in the viewer’s head that it’s difficult to get rid of once the movie ends, making them conscious of the fact that these incidents happened

I believe the whitewashed fence serves as a symbol for Tom’s abilities to manipulate and trick people into doing what he wants. In this case, he is supposed to whitewash the fence as a punishment for trying to trick Aunt Polly. Instead, while he’s working, he convinces boys passing by that it’s “fun” to whitewash the fence and tons of them want to do it for him. In the book it states, “There was no lack of material; boys happened along every little while: they came to jeer, but remained to whitewash.” By manipulating the boys, they soon start even paying Tom to do work that he’s supposed to do.

The mob tried to hurt Atticus to try to get to Tom. Atticus does not get upset about it, as he stated, “He might have hurt me a little, but son you’ll understand folks a little better when you get older.” Even though, Mr.Cunningham tried hurt Atticus, Atticus still told his children that, “Mr.Cunningham is a great friend he just has a few blind spots.” When Atticus decided that he was going to defend Tom Robinson, he knew it was not going to be easy. Atticus could find a way to turn a negative situation into a positive

He grew up being unkind and thinking that he could get away with anything he did especially when it was announced that he would be becoming a police officer and had been accepted into the academy. But with the arrival of Erin brought a small change to him, as she was willing to stick her neck out for Ned and stand up for him. This ended making him more conniving, no longer willing to stick with his chant of “Neddy, Neddy, never ready; ain’t got nothing in his heady.” (p. 3) but rather resorting to labelling Ned “‘DISTURBED & DANGEROUS’” (p. 155).

If somebody else took that ball there’d be an uproar”. Willy contagualates biff on stealing and brings up his son as he can do whatever he wants because he 's well liked. Now back to the present where biff steals something from his work and everyone becomes suspicious he is forced to leave his only good job. Even though biff was brought up as being able to do whatever he pleased, in adulthood it 's not the same

In the short story “Ransom of Red Chief” by O. Henry, it used differences in the point of views of the characters to create dramatic irony by the characters Sam and Bill believing that the father will pay to get the son back, yet we can tell from the child 's actions that the father won’t pay that amount, so the father ends up getting paid to get the son back, which was humorous to us but not to the actual characters. An example from the text to support my claim is from page 25,” That boy had Bill terrorized from the start.” This shows that even though Bill was the kidnapper the kid was torturing him. This explains how from the beginning this child was too horrible for anyone to want to handle. We also know that dad, who spent most time with
