Diner

The short story “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?” by Joyce Carol Oates is a fictional story, but I believe that it could be realistic. There are times that young girls can get themselves into situations they cannot escape. Connie tries to appear older and wiser than she is, and her head is filled with daydreams and music that give her ideas of romance and love. Connie rejects the role of the daughter, sister and “nice” girl to cultivate her sexual persona, which only came out when…

It was a rainy night, an overcast kind of night as a lot of teens and young adults crowded outside Brooklyn’s “Baby’s All Right” waiting to be let in. “Baby’s All Right” is a bar, diner, and music venue all in one, with it’s stage and floor situated in the back. The stage has speakers, microphones, drums, turntables guitars and so forth situated on it. As we all waited patiently in the rain for what seemed forever they finally began to check tickets and let people funnel into the back. Walking…

it shows Ernie was filling the mason jars with flowers and putting them on the counter of the place she works. This shows how hard it is to show your feelings. It also shows why Ernie did not go to the store and give Dolores them. Look out of the diner window and see Dolores pick up the flowers. This also shows that Ernie is very caring. He planted those flowers and waited for them to grow, just for Dolores. I’m sure if I would have to have a crush I would do the same thing. Like planting…

John Ford’s The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance is a depiction of an inescapable transition where the society is transformed from an old and wild social order to a modern and organized one. In this film, Ford brings to perspective the society in the past and how it died as a result of modernization.

Devoted to Betrayal For centuries, literalist, such as Flannery O’Connor, have debated and shared their views on deception and betrayal.

The mother wants to gain a son- in- law to marry and care for her daughter, and make repairs on her farm. The shiftless drifter wants a car, which he believes represent success and…

Americans have been mistreated, abuse, dehumanized and abuse. They have suffered and are still suffering under the thumb of racism. Many of their ancestors have fought to allow them to be where they are today. For example, sit where they please at diner and on buses, be afforded the same opportunities that Caucasian people are offered, and free to be themselves without any shame or scrutiny, or at least that is what they thought. The biggest symbol that plays a consistent reminder of their…
