Tommy Wiseau's Character In The Disaster Artist

260 Words2 Pages

My argument in this draft is that the tone shift that Greg Sestero employs to depict Tommy Wiseau’s character in The Disaster Artist to the audience is portraying their friendship progress. As an unknown classmate in the beginning of the memoir, Tommy is depicted as a creepy and weird person. Greg often uses harsh words to describe Tommy’s character. However, , Greg’s attitude towards Tommy changes as he gets to know more about Tommy and eventually be friend with him. Greg becomes sympathetic, thankful, and understanding towards Tommy despite Tom has not changed and still being ridiculous most of the time.
For outside source, I decide to link the text to the audience section of the rhetorical triangle. I try to relate the friendship between

  • Eulogy For Sonny

    420 Words  | 2 Pages

    By Baldwin shrewdly returning into the psyche of the storyteller's twenty two year old self, we perceive how emphatically his Mama's words transformed him. Her passing constrained him to need to need to manage Sonny in a more developed manner , and that minute diverted from the entire equalization of fellowship of Sonny and the narrator's relationship, changing over it into a more parent-child kind of relationship. With their element changed so definitely, even the storyteller doesn't know how to oversee it, noticing " “I sensed myself in the presence of something I didn’t really know how to handle, didn’t understand” (51). In attempting to make himself decisive, the storyteller tells Sonny the following stride in his life: that he will be staying at Isabel's. Initially miserable with this pre-settled on choice, “‘You decided it,’ he pointed out.

    However, there are other moments when Baldwin’s rage and even a kind of paranoid madness descend upon him, possibly blinding him to the personal characteristics that he and his father share. He moves back and forth, throughout most of the essay, at times freely drawing parallels, at other times trying desperately to gain distance. The strength of the piece, however, is in his final resolution in which he comes to grips with his father’s emotions as well as his own. In the end, he is able to separate himself from his father and yet still cherish in a place in his heart the fact that he and his father will be forever

    From my observation, this analysis demonstrates Tommy Wiseau’s obsession with aging and proves how Tommy’s eccentricity shows Tommy’s attempt to associate himself with youth and to fit in as an American. 1.5- Tommy focuses on his youthful image while attempting to be an American. 1.75- So far the author’s argument matches my understanding of the argument.

    However, that is of little import as his identity is shaped over the course of the four chapters of the story after he detaches himself of his old persona – he leaves his home, throws away his phone and retrieves as much of his money as possible and wonders if someone else would slip into his old life as easily as he had slipped out of it. As Mark Currie mentions in his Postmodern narrative theory, “identity is relational, […] it is not found within a person but that it inheres in the relations between a person and others” (17). Although we only get to see the events through the eyes of the unnamed narrator, he only begins to crystallize as a character once he begins interacting with others – he is the good Samaritan to the stranded Professor, giving him a lift when he needs to get back to his car and retrieves his wallet from the hotel, after the Professor vanishes, he unconsciously picks up his identity and gradually returns to life, plagued only by the fear of being uncovered as an impostor, while still feeling comfortable enough in his new identity in the company of strangers, playing along with the new game he has gotten himself into. Currie states that the way in which the author can control the sympathy and antipathy felt for characters is in direct relation to the distance from and

  • The Theme Of Isolation In Previous Condition And Sonny's Blues By James Baldwin

    2048 Words  | 9 Pages

    In fiction, the narrator controls how the audience connects to and perceives the various characters in a story. A good author can manipulate the narration to connect the audience to certain characters and deepen the reader’s understanding of their conflicts. In “Previous Condition” and “Sonny’s Blues,” James Baldwin illustrates themes of loneliness and isolation in the pursuit of finding a space that feels like home. Although this theme is clear in both stories, Baldwin is able to portray it very differently in each story through the relationship he allows the reader to the characters struggling with these feelings. While “Previous Condition” provides a more intimate relationship to the narrator, “Sonny’s Blues” is able to deliver an additional level of understanding by telling the story through Sonny’s brother, therefore disconnecting the reader in a way that forces him or her to share the characters’ feelings of isolation and confusion.
