Three Day Road Character Analysis

Rebellion is the Key In today’s world, rebellion is viewed as a negative action, but it’s a part of human nature as well as a crucial part of growing up for teenagers. It is especially important for the main character Holden in J.D. Salinger’s Catcher in the Rye. Holden not only gains new experiences from his rebellions, but it is what allows Holden to truly accept the adult society. Holden’s constant rebellious nature from his school to his red hunting hat are a result of him attempting to stand out in society.

Victor decides to rebel with the creatures demands and sacrifice his own well-being, because he realizes that the danger to the world is much bigger than the danger to himself. In present day, people do the unthinkable when they do not get what they prefer, so they then seek revenge. Throughout high school, many scenarios between couples proved the power of revenge between love. A handful of teenagers in today’s society come to one similar conclusion when they realize they have been betrayed. Getting back at a loved one, just so they can feel the hurt that they made them go through is often a primary choice of many illiterate adolescents.

This impacts the audience as they would feel disgusted with Antonio, and sympathy for Barbara. It is then shown that Michele has ethics and morals, as he realises “the forfeit was too harsh” (page 19), so he stopped Barbara and he did the forfeit for her, as he actually lost the race. This makes

He would just say, Choose.”(Good Will Hunting). He is a stronger and smarter man because of what happened to him. Santiago hit a lot of adversity at the beginning of his journey and it prepared him for the worst of his journey. “Now he understood why the owner of the bar had been so upset: he was trying to tell him not to trust that man.” (Coelho 43). He lost it all and he was prepared for anything for the rest of his journey.

While, in jail, many predicted that his motivation would run dry and he would lose his ambition (Katz). On the contrary, he had an even stronger desire to take over the Teamsters presidency from Fitzsimmons and to regain what was forcefully taken from him. Danielle Haynes, a writer for the United Press International explains that “This desire is what ultimately made him a target for many Mobsters” (Haynes). Hoffa’s burning desire to take over the leadership of the Teamsters and the malicious personalities of the mobsters only to the mysteries surrounding his

Huck is trying to escape from his papa because he thinks he is psycho and a drunk, so he runs off, faking his death. Along the way, he finds Jim trying to escape from slavery. In this scene, they both realize they have to help each other in order to get farther. They help each other in many ways and they even come to realizations that what they are doing may not have been the best

This would make Gene feel like the superior one in the relationship. His feelings of jealousy and rivalry are what compelled him to make Finny suffer by falling off the branch in the first place. Gene also admits, “There were few relationships amoung us at Devon not based on rivalry,” (pg.156). This quotation shows that among all friendships at the schools each one of them has to do with competing with others. Gene understands this concept, which is why his relationship with Finny is very competitive.

People always try to find a way to argue that revenge is not justified. It is easy for people to understand that someone can go overboard with revenge. For example, someone might kill another person to avenge his son's murder. They see this and say that all revenge is bad and can never be justified because now more people are dead. Examples like this persuade people that revenge is not justified.

If they are truly a utopia they would push their citizens toward success instead of holding them back with these torcher methods. The government has some of the citizens thinking if they take their handicaps off then things will go back to the old ways. “If I tried to get away with it,” said George, “then other people would get away with it and pretty soon we would be right back to the dark ages again, with everybody competing against everybody else” (Vonnegut.p3). The people hate being held back form their true potential. That is why Harrison rebels, because his is tired of getting held back form greatness.

The first fall, which was a “messy break”, shows that Gene’s battles with jealousy are not without consequences. This envy is the “snake” that makes him to the deed. From this fall both Gene and Finny lose their innocence. Gene purposely hurt someone, which showed him the realities of war, and Finny was taken out of his “separate peace”. The second fall, which was a “clean break”, was on “the white marble steps.” This shows that the school’s values and authority and rules constricted Finny’s innocence and freedom and they hurt him.

Jack Davis sets his play “No sugar” in early twentieth century Australia exploring the struggles Aboriginal people faced during a time where racial discrimination and dispossession were prevalent. The play depicts the strength of the Millimurra and Munday family through their support of one another. Furthermore, this sense of family is highlighted through the racism that they are confronted with. However, ‘No Sugar’ is not simply just about family or racism, but also about the native peoples’ connection with their land. Davis aims to demonstrate to his audience that through the support of loved ones, an individual will be empowered to face the challenges present around them.

This is Ishmael Beah’s most famous novel. This nonfiction story captures the author 's childhood. This novel was mostly everything I expected from a war story; combat, chaos, and casualties. I would say that some of the scenes described were a little to gruesome. This civil war significantly took a toll on Beah; socially, mentally, and physically.
