Climax

In John Updike’s short story “A&P,” we open in on a scene of three teenage girls entering at local grocery store. Sammy, a young, sarcastic, teenage boy is the narrator, who’s observations push the story to progress along. He observes the three girls in bikinis walking around the store. He is obviously distracted when he rings up an object more than once and an old lady, who “they would have burned over in Salem,” gives him a hard time (Updike 178). Eventually the manager of the store, Lengel,…

“The Lottery”- Following Age Old Tradition People everywhere live their lives based on tradition. These can be simple, from certain recipes to the way children are raised. However traditions can change overtime. “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson follows one such tradition. One that with time, loses aspects and meaning. Jackson 's short story written in 1948 follows this theme throughout the exposition to the resolution of the story. In “The Lottery” written by Shirley Jackson a diminutive…

Exposition can be defined as the background information a playwright provides usually at the start of the play in order to for the readers to understand the dramatic situation and action as the play progresses. Using Freytag’s Pyramid, exposition can be marked by the part of the play before any rising action or conflict between the characters. As such, the exposition for Master Harold and the Boys, by Athol Fugard, can be until the point where Hally enters the play, since the entrance of Hally…

Hally represents the coming of age that all children have to go through during times of oppression. His “Master Harold”…and the boys takes place in the year 1950, five years before Rosa Parks is arrested for refusing to give up her seat on a public bus, seven years before the Little Rock Nine segregate into a previously all-white school and thirteen years before Martin Luther King’s transformational “I Have a Dream” speech. In short, not much had been accomplished for racism in 1950 in America…

In My Brilliant Friend, Ferrante reveals that the change from childhood to adolescence is scary and upsetting because the breakdown of innocence occurs. In the first chapter of Adolescence, Lila’s experience of “dissolving margins” (2) is symbolic of what occurs in every child during puberty. Furthermore, Ferrante symbolizes change with the motif of fire, which is seen in the fireworks display. During the display, Lila feels disgust towards the changes she sees in her brother and repulsion…

Protagonist - This is the central character we identify with; Nora cares for her family, but she is afraid and playing a role that does not even allow her to know who she really is. We feel the worry and tension she has. Antagonist - This is the character that is in opposition or conflict with the central character. The play seems to have two antagonists. Nils Krogstad is the obvious villain through most of the play, but the bank clerk does right in the end by returning the note to the Helmers.…

There are a few things that I enjoyed in the film To kill a Mockingbird. First, the main character played by Gregory Peck clearly depicts the daily American hero. I guess that most Americans of his time would easily identify themselves with Atticus Finch. Therefore, I also liked how the film intends to modify the view of the Americans on the rights of the African Americans. It may have had an impact on the American society of the first half of the twentieth century similar to the effect caused…

Aside for development of action in the plot in chapter twenty, this chapter emphasizes the serious nature of the conspiracy because someone as simple as a Justice of the Peace magistrate, cannot be trusted. Their is not loyalty, in who to believe and who not to. You never know who is really working with Sir Philip. “The whole countryside is riddled with treason---even the magistrates. Who is loyal? Who can be trusted”(p.234)? This chapter emphasizes that if Kit had not found out the true…

if they never saw the “meteor” then they would have just gone about their day. Then some more things happen on maple street and the plot continues. For example, the play states, “You killed him Charlie, you shot him dead.” I would consider this the climax of the story because when Charlie “accidentally” shot Van Horn they were only blaming one person for the deed until Charlie did this. Everyone was…
