    Neil's Friend Traits

    • 1240 Words
    • 5 Pages

    For me this is a very difficult question. Neil (the main character of the story) is a character with many different traits that each show a different side of him. For example, Neil is nice as he shows affection to those he loves, but on a rare occasion. The author showed us that Neil was a really nice young boy deep down, but on the outside he was very egoistic. If I had to choose a side though, I would chose Neil as a friend. I have 3 reasons behind this opinion. The first reason is…

    Veldt is a wake-up call to this generation about the future repercussions of now essential technological developments. With the use of personification and extreme characters, the author conveys the theme that a dependency on technology, such as the one in the story, creates an addiction with irreversible consequences. Bradbury’s use of personification leads the reader to believe that the house has replaced the roles of the parents. In the story, Mrs. Hadley states, “’the house is mother now, and…

Could you imagine Louise shopping in there?” Cathy grinned sheepishly. “I’m afraid not, it just isn’t classy enough,” Betty answered with sarcasm. “We always have fun together. Take care and I’ll call later,” Cathy said, going to her car. “Call after seven and thanks again for lunch,” she said and went to another parking lot where she had parked her car.

Also, Chris was pretty aggressive when he was trying to get money from Wayne and when he fought the homeless man for a spot in line. Chris wanted Christopher to…

    Herbert's rendering of Psalm 52 with the King James Version (KJV) and New Living Translation (NLT). Unless comparing the words of the translations, Herbert's words will be used. The passage begins to chide someone. Herbert calls him a "tyrant", the KJV calls him a "mighty man" and the NLT calls them a "great warrior". Herbert's "tyrant" more aptly depicts the subject of the psalm. It asks him why he "swell'st [thou thus,] Of mischief vaunting? Since help from God to us is never wanting." She…
