Say Anything...

Light in August (and in the real world) this inaccuracy creates disconnect and makes it so that people can never truly know anything for fact. This is especially evident concerning what society “knows” about Byron Bunch. Byron enters the mind of the society who he believes to be thinking, “you say you suffer…all we got is your naked word for it. And in the second place, you just say that you are Byron Bunch. And in the third place you are just the one that calls yourself Byron Bunch today, now,…

thinks that's how her daughter wants her to be like a hundred pounds lighter, and her skin like a uncooked barley pancake. (13,14) The mother also says “ In real life I am a big-boned woman with rough man-working hands. In winter I wear flannels nightgowns to bed and overalls during the day.” (7,8) She calls herself big-boned meaning fat. She also says she has hands like a man has. She wears flannels and overalls…

telling lennie not say anything to anyone there not even the boss. George is always trying to get Lennie a job by keeping Lennie quiet mostly because if he lets Lennie talk then he’ll tell about stuff that had happened.As a matter of fact one way of showing how George treats Lennie is this quote from the book. ‘“ That ranch we’re goin’ to is right down there about a quarter mile. We’re gonna go in an’ see the boss. Now, look- I’ll give him the work tickets, but you ain’t gonna say a word. You…

Salinger shows us that Holden fears growing up and has a mental breakdown as he transitions to adulthood. He doesn’t want other children to experience the "phoniness" of the world and become corrupted by society. While he was talking with Phoebe, Holden says that he wants to be a catcher in the rye, to save the children from falling off the cliff. What Holden means by ‘Being a catcher in the rye’ is that he wants to protect children’s innocence from entering the world of adults. Towards the end…

They can happen as a group or an individual may protest. Not everybody says what's on their mind and what the would like to protest. One instance is myself. I wish I would've protested about how much attention sports get and that having good grades and taking harder classes get almost no attention. The schools talk about how much they want good grades and would like to see us succeeded in classes, but they rarely say anything about grades and classes. They only seem to praise and hype sports…

If they fall off, they fall off, but it’s bad if you say anything to them” (211). Holden understands the struggles of dealing with trauma, and the loss of innocence because of his older brother. This is his driving force to insure that when he sees images of childlike innocence, he only wants to safeguard them…

The hostess takes us at a table with crumbs all over seat, before I say anything she gets a napkin and pushes all of the crumbs off the seat and onto the floor however, crumbs are still all over half of the table, I didn’t say anything to her. After we sat down our feet literally stuck to the ground, before opening the menu my hand and arm got very sticky from some substance on the table. I opened…

parents tell us that ‘We can be anything we want to be.’ It is told from the view of twelve-year-old Gwenyth and her reaction to be told that she can be anything when in reality she can’t. The author believes that we are causing more long-term negative effects on our children by telling them that they can be anything they want and that is causing our children to consider themselves failures. Garrett claims that adult’s shouldn’t be telling children that they can be anything because it is not…

really, if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all. I believe words can hurt or heal, encourage or discourage and inspire or hinder. There are certain times in our lives where words may affect us more than other times. I believe in speaking kindly to the person at the grocery store ringing up my groceries or to the stranger I pass in the street because I just may be the only person to say anything nice to them that day or maybe the only person to say anything to them at all it…

careful person.” For example in Raymond’s Run Squeaky must be protective because she says “If anybody has anything to say to Raymond, anything to say about his big head, they have to come by me.” So she must be very protective with her brother from what she said. The S.T.E.A.L is speech because she said to the people that were picking on Raymond.
