Rodriguez 1 Skyylyn Rodriguez Mrs. Jarrell AP English III 16 November 2016 Truth in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof The truth is not always what a person wants to hear or see.

In The Illustrated Man, Ray Bradbury handles dialogue in a way that greatly adds to the plot of “The Rocket”. One quote that stands out in particular is “But I am a great fool. I will take my money from the bank and give it you.” This quote is said by Fiorello, the father of the story, on page 272. This quote propels the action, reveals aspects of a character, and provokes a decision in the story. This piece of dialogue informs the reader of the climax of the story, which is when Fiorello purchases

However, there was no dad or friend to help me get the fish

Through Bella’s life she moves to a new school. At
