    The author uses diction to convey the loving personality of the Clutters. By describing Susan as “willy,” “wan,” and “sensitive,” Capote portrays her as weak and looked down upon. Nevertheless, Capote emphasizes that the Clutter’s looked beyond Susan’s bad image and “ardently adopted her.” Showing that the Clutters not only accepted the girl but gave her passionate love and care, Capote obviates the benevolence the family exhibits. The author essentially claims that Susan was implemented as part of the family and this strong word choice strengthens the passage by conveying the extent of the compassion displayed by them.…

    Clarisse's ultimate purpose in Fahrenheit 451 is to serve as the major motive for Montag’s complete shift in his outlook on his society, surroundings, and inner emotions. Clarisse contributes heavily to the themes and development of the story, as her physical appearance/actions on Montag and mental assimilation into his everyday thoughts lead him to question and rebel against his society, which is essentially the drive that the whole plot revolves around. She also serves to gently yet constantly remind the reader of the glimmer of hope left in the completely productivity-based, time-based, thoughtless, and emotionless society that she resided in. Her substantial influences on the story can be represented as small, very implicative portions…

    Anne and William Hutchinson were among 14,000 Puritans who fled England during the “Great Migration” of the 1630s in search of religious refuge. They wanted a place to practice “true” Christianity, contrary to their idea of the blasphemous practices of the Church of England. The colony of Massachusetts Bay was built to restore proper moral and religious practices for the sake of keeping the community holy and, in turn, in God’s favor. Anne Hutchinson devoted her life to being an extraordinary member of the Puritan church, even if it meant stepping on the toes of leaders to express her ideas. This behavior was unacceptable in the Massachusetts Bay colony and Anne was put on trial in front of the General Court, leading to her excommunication.…

In my life, I have found a person who expresses their inner Clarisse and brightens my life.…
