MISFITS

incline the reader to think that her opinion of The Misfit would also be negative; however upon meeting The Misfit, the grandmother wants to believe that he is a good man, despite everything he may have done. “Listen,” she said,”you shouldn’t call yourself The Misfit because I know you’re a good man at heart. I can just look at you and tell.” (257). Part of this belief may be due to the stressful situation. The grandmother believes that The Misfit is a good man because she must hope, and thus…

Montresor and The Misfit Comparing and analyzing Montresor (from Poe’s The Cask of Amontillado) and the Misfit (from O’Connor’s A Good Man is Hard to Find) in terms of character development, conflict, and motivation can be a task in itself. In terms of character development, there are similarities and differences between the two characters. At first glance, Montresor, the protagonist, appears to have assumed a murderous and psychopathic character. This is not really surprising, he can also be…

The Gang of Misfits Red, all I see is red. Flashes of punches, crowds of people, and sounds of cheering meet my eyes, and anger fills my every being. I have become so sick and tired of this place, some may call it high school, but I call it prison with a view. The gang of misfits weren’t always the gang of misfits, we used to all be alone until today because today is the day I fought for my freedom. Let’s take this story back to the start of freshman year, not too long ago, but feels long…

The Island of Misfit Toys all starts with one toy not liking how he was being treated. He was being beat daily and was considered a peasant in his society. The work he put his body through was very intense labor and dangerous. But he wasn’t the only toy feeling this way. Ever since the government was losing money toys were beginning to get enraged at the fact that they weren’t getting paid for their work. The government had promised all the toys that they had just found new resources to make…

“We are the misfits” was one of the last messages told by the pastor of the Evangelical Waterspring’s Chruch at 10:45 AM at 4250 25th East. After a long sermon of scripture, that was the leaving message before one final hymn performed by a very professional band. “We are the misfits” and their definition of a church as “people who shouldn’t be together but come together for the common goal of Jesus’s love.” I’d never particularly expected a saying like that to come out of a church or minister.…

The misfit of all misfits is how I perceive myself in the mirror that has been distorted by my anxiety and society’s subconscious attacks. My preferred companions are books, music and technology. I have only a small circle of close friends even though our bartering system of offensive jokes may have you think differently. They could easily be counted as weird. To be plain, I found it quite easy to doubt my ability to have any sort of "close relationship" due to my irrational fears of being…

They were the misfits The rebels The boys with glasses Girls with braces The ones who sat on the first bench The ones who chilled with imaginary friends The weirdos The freaks The nerds They were all round pegs in square holes; Round pegs that fit into square holes. But I, I was a round peg too gigantic to fit in; Too colossal, too enormous; too elephantine; TOO FAT to fit into a square hole. My mother said it didn’t matter; At least I wasn’t confined within the four walls of a square; But how…

James Howe, the author of The Misfits, is in support of the allowance of books: “Banning books is just another form of bullying. It’s all about fear and an assumption of power.” James elaborates that banning books is a different articulation of bullying. The definition of bullying and censorship do not differentiate abundantly. Bullying is using superior strengths to use force upon someone for their struggle of power. The definition of censorship is using superior strengths to condemn the…
