Where Are You Going Where Have You Been Arnold Friend Comparison

Formula fiction is literature in which the storylines and plots have been used over and over again to an extent whereby the narratives are predictable. Genre fiction identifies a number of specific setting that are being used over and over again which is similar to Formula fiction. The story “A secret sorrow” didn’t relate to formula fiction at the beginning but progressively, I could not predict why she didn’t want to get married nor why she didn’t tell kai she was seeing a doctor and even had another referral. When Faye finally revealed that she was unable to have any kids and that’s her reason for not wanting to get married to him, it made it easier for me to predict what was coming next. I figured she would later have kids and put a family together even if they were not hers.

Connie was unable to see the men's true personality until they removed their glasses, which like Connie, a person who has multiple sides. They use similar expressions throughout the story, for example, “Christ” and the use of the word “dope” this further links the two characters personalities. At the end of the story, after Arthur stops Connie from calling the police, she willingly joins the two men. This shows Connie ignoring her superego- calling the police- to succumb to her id (8, 9). Connie once asks, “how come we never saw you before?” to which Arthur replies, “Sure you saw me before… You just don’t remember” these lines also illustrate the tendency for a person to repress their ultimate desires (5).

He often played "Pipeline" by The Chantays and "Louie Louie" by The Kingsman. Whenever he showed me open chord finger formations, I quickly gave up becoming frustrated by not being able to learn it all in one day. It wasn't until I was in my early 20's before I mastered chords well enough to quickly change them and play along correctly in time to classic rock songs. Having played guitar for many years, I do appreciate what the Beatles have contributed to music. My favorite Beatles songs that I enjoy listening to are: Ballad of John and Yoko, Norwegian Wood, I Am the Walrus, Octopus Garden, and Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight.

Most of the time narrators know they aren’t normal, and might even say so themselves. When an author writes from the perspective of an unreliable narrator they usually contradict a previous act, thus making them inconsistent. They may say one thing and do another. I believe that the reason why the narrator in “The Yellow Wallpaper” thinks she is completely normal even though she isn’t is because of her realistic hallucinations, causing her to become somewhat paranoid to the other characters in the story. The other characters do not see what she does.

Based on the connection between Francis Sadilek's suicide and Mr. Shimerda's, as well as the similarity between names, that was most likely an Annie Sadilek, though there were other women in Cather's life as well, her college love likely represented by Lena Lingham. The chastity present in Jim's interactions with Antonia and Lena suggests strongly the story was autobiographical and the narrator was made male because an openly lesbian novel would almost definitely not be published, but was that all that was going on? While it would be remiss to retroactively gender her differently as she never made any explicit statement to the effect, it's not unlikely Cather was in fact transsexual, based on her male "fraternal twin" persona William. While the "disguise" could be argued to be a tactic to gain advantage in a very male­dominated field and world overall, biographers do agree Willa was hardly a person who concealed or suppressed her identity.

Having Mental illness during the Renaissance was different than having it in the 21st century in terms of causes, societal attitudes, and treatment. Mental during the Renaissance is Different from having it today in terms of what were believed to be the causes. In the book Romeo and Juliet, the two lovers show signs of depression and anxiety. During their time, people did not use the term depression; they did not even know that it was a mental illness, they just called it “melancholy.” The cause Romeo's melancholy at the beginning of the book was because Rosaline did not love him back.

In Patrick Suskind’s “Amnesia in Litteris,” the narrator supposedly suffers from a total loss of literary memory. This means he cannot remember any written works he has read in the past. He references different books he knows he read at some point in time, but he cannot remember the contents of the book. In looking at Patrick Suskind’s “Amnesia in Litteris,” we will consider Patrick Suskind’s use of polysydeton and asyndeton, which suggests the writer is emphasizing his points, to find that a person cannot become accustom to their surroundings and must always keep a clear and critical eye towards life. One example of asyndeton portrays the narrator questioning the logistics of reading and explains the reason it is important.

Knowing that the events of the story didn’t actually happen, coupled with the happy ending, leaves many readers unmoved by the book. Because Márquez fleshed out many of his characters in Living to Tell the Tale and ‘‘Tuesday Siesta,’’ to the point where they seem like actual human beings, his works are much more heart wrenching than Steinbeck’s The Grapes of

According to ‘Exclusive: Panic! At The Disco Spencer on Addiction, Recovery and Honesty” When their new album at the time (Too Weird to Live , Too Rare To Die!) was going to have its promotion Spencer had not been in any photographs and only making a brief appearance for the first single “Miss Jackson” (the fans then started to speculate that he had left the band) (Montgomery 1). When writing “This is Gospel” going head on on the situation but continuing the song with a new song called “The Emperor 's New Clothes” with brendon saying in an interview with Entertainment Tonight “ It never felt like a closed book for the sake of closure it was really trying to continue this on a short film to tell the full story ‘cause it’s still not over we still talk, we still hang out.” In the end Spencer had left the band to go get help at rehab which is a good thing the song for him opened up his eyes and mind.

They aren’t able to get to know who the girls really are because of the isolation Mrs. Lisbon puts them through and therefore, the town including the boys couldn’t find out reliable information on them, but instead they states things they thought to be true. They can’t be sure of the things they know to be true which affects the story. As we are reading the book it’s as if we are trying to uncover the truth together with the boys. By reading and interpreting the text on our own, we are also trying to find the reason for the girls’ suicides and come up with our own reason for it. Even though the information may not be reliable or completely true, the boys would rather live with a not completely true explanation than living with no explanation at all regarding the reason for the suicide.

A lot of clues in the story hinted that Arnold Friend wasn’t a friend at all, but was a demon that came to take Connie away. When Arnold Friend was first introduced, Connie kept an uneasy feeling about him and felt intrigued by his presence. For example, Arnold immediately starts to ask Connie if she wants to come for a ride. (Oates 1012). Arnold seems to add pressure to Connie from the start and is obviously not there just to take her for a ride.

Arnold Friend’s personality stayed unaffected during the course of the film. He is revealed as a frightening, unnerving character that lies about his age in order to charm younger girls. Oates does not express how Arnold learns so much about Connie, her family, and her daily routines; forming an ominous atmosphere in the text because the reader is left envisioning whether Arnold Friend is a physical character or if he is a paranormal entity (conceivably Satan). In the movie, the onlookers learn that Arnold Friend lingers nearby Connie’s community and contacts Connie’s friends to manipulate information out of them. Naïvely, her friends share private information with Arnold aiding him on a trajectory to his next adolescent prey.

The movie lacked in explanation. In the part of the movie where Aaron and Brandt die when they crashed in their van, you would have no idea who they were unless you read the book because they were not even mentioned before in the movie. And they didn 't explain what a Soul is or why Wanderer is important. In the book, it was explained what Souls were and how Wanderer is superior to most Souls. There was also the part in the book when Wanderer thought “Did it matter that he was beautiful, that I loved him, when he was going to kill me?”

It is a frightening experience, not knowing if thoughts are really yours or if they are simply produced by medication. When I stopped taking Prozac, I did not know how long it would take for it all to be out of my system. During this time I did not socialize with anyone, in fear that the words spoken or actions taken were not fully my own yet. This quotation from Ralph Ellison’s novel, Invisible Man, best illustrates my rationale after ending the use of Prozac: “When I discover who I am, I’ll be free.” I had to find myself again, even though ‘myself’ included dysthymia and being misunderstood, but I was okay with that as long as I could think for

Writer, Joyce Oates, in her fictional short story, “Where are you going, where have you been,” recounts the story of, Connie a fifteen year old. Joyce Oates creates a flippant tone in her character description of Connie. The tone shifts from flippant to disturb after her brief interaction with Arnold at her house. Oates uses emotionally/ominous loaded language, and vivid threatening imagery in Where are you going,where have you been. Oates purpose is to warn readers of what could happen when an adolescent go through the rite of passage.
