Describe The Relationship Between Laura And Howie

Improved Essays
The world Laura and Howie experienced was not worth exploring mainly because of the fact that they went through a lot and they were not very social and basically had no social skills so to put them out in the real world were the person standing next to you may not care about you.And the fact of they were kidnapped and sad to say but what everything they endured could be said as the real world but they would have not go through that if they stayed at the camp.

The world that Laura and Howie experienced was not worth exploring due to the fact of Laura and Howie facing intimidating people for example when they met Pardoe who was assaulting Laura.So what this means is if the children stayed back in the camp the odds of them meeting intimidating people would have been slimmer due to the fact that there would be more supervision.Now the other side might argue that at some point in their lives they would have to put up with difficult people.But I say that statement is irrelevant because while it may be true that they would have to deal with different people and they might get picked on it wouldn't be good to expose these children to that type of traumatic experience while they are so young and that even would have most likely never happened if they stayed back in the camp.

Now to look from two angles you could say that they were kidnapped by the campers and while that is true that statement is also irrelevant because they would not have been there long because the campers had the intentions to go back for

    Ruby Daly Analysis

    • 787 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Ruby Daly survived a mysterious disease and is one of the many children who have ‘abilities’. The government has set up brutal ‘rehabilitation camps’ for these kids, one of these is called Thurmond, where Ruby escaped from. She joins a group of kids, Liam, Chubs and Zu, who are trying to find East River and save other kids in the camps. When I read this text, I felt very sympathetic towards the children in the rehabilitation camps, especially Ruby. I felt this because she was only 10 years old when she was sent the camp, where it was harsh, brutal, and definitely not the right setting for a 10 year old girl.…

    Also makes a very good point when she discusses how the others from Hati were living, she went into detail and gave me a sad picture of how they were living and being treated. I have to agree here becuause living basically piled up not being aple to go outside, or anywhere for that matter and not having the freedom would make anyone feel that they are in prison. And it's sad to see that the kids were practically begging to be able to go outside and play like the dream of any kid but the parents had to say no,, so they kids suffered a great deal to. I feel as if they are the kids who didnt have a child hood and were forced to grow up fast and grow up in a world full of dictator…

    In this film, Laura (1944) we are introduced to a group of corrupt and fittingly shady upper-class social order types. The focus is on particular conventions of content, like themes or settings and/or form, including structure and style (Goodykoontz & Jacobs 2014). This film will be critiqued by the author through the lens of the genre theory (AMC, n.d.). The genre theory allows critics to take a short cut to categorize films. The director woks with the time-period and has a vision and that includes the audience he wishes to engage.…

    In his book Civilization and its Discontents, Sigmund Freud delves into the topic regarding the relationship between an individual and the civilization that surrounds them. Freud’s overarching theme revolves around the intrinsic need of humans, specifically children, to plot their own path and society’s constant demand for conformity. Freud talks about how people desire to commit many evil acts, such as killing or inappropriate sexual relationships as harmful to the civilization and as a result, civilization creates laws that try to prohibit these desires by threatening harsh punishments to the offender. Many of Freud’s claims are very applicable to society, and its effect on people.…
