Subplot

eccentric, adventurous, and knowledgeable about things than she is. That's about the entirety of the plot. Most of the film sees Tracy and Brooke head to a location, make witty observations about where they are, and then move on. There are a couple of subplots, and the main trajectory sees Brooke trying to start a restaurant business and Tracy trying to write a short story to get herself into an exclusive school club, but far more of the film is concerned with…

In a play with themes as serious as most Shakespearean ones hold, it is difficult to include comedy. Often a few key characters are used as tools in the deliverance of humor. In A Midsummer Night’s Dream the two key gateways used to integrate humor are Nick Bottom, the weaver and Robin “Puck” Goodfellow, the fairy king’s jester and well known trickster. The two characters share minimal similarities outside of arising laughter from the audience, however they are both key elements of the play.…

Bharati Mukherjee’s Desirable Daughters addresses the anomaly of an ideal marriage, an ideal culture and the stereotype immigrant theory of South Asians into America. Love, marriage, sex, dowry, woman subjugation intertwined with a small plot of victory in the face of child-marriage induces progressive interest through the novel. The conflict of tradition and modernity, irony of arrange marriage and acceptance of cultures beyond the laid-out limit, unfurls instantaneous engrossment. The two…

story created by Margaret Atwood set in Port Ticonderoga, Canada throughout the 20th century. The two main characters are Iris and Laura Chase, the daughter of a rich war veteran who owns a button factory. The story itself is broken up into four subplots, all from the point of view of Iris, the eldest sister. The outermost story is of 80 year old Iris, her daily life, as she tells the second story of her family’s past, which hit on many of Atwood’s common themes such as power and gender roles.…

many posters that hung in Lady Bird’s room or the depth and roundness of each supporting character made the movie a truly immersive experience. Each character had a story, like how Julie harbored a secret affection for her math teacher, but each subplot did not distract from the overarching storyline of a mother and daughter. One of the film’s underlying motifs, the love of home, has allowed me to appreciate my hometown of Cincinnati. Sacramento is presented as a beautiful, unique community…

Baltimore and the effect it has on the city and its inhabitants. Therefore, Anderson’s “Code of the Streets” and The Wire analyze and display the inescapable, endless cycle of the drug trade in American cities, particularly in the fourth season’s school subplot. The desperation of poverty and the need to survive directly lead to the drug trade and other illegal activities. As transformation from manufacturing to technology occurs, Anderson notes that “cottage industries of drugs,…

older brother Soda who is described in the book as the most caring amazing awesome big brother in the world, almost has no effect at all on the movie. Soda, in the movie, is just a good looking boy who just kind of hangs around the gang with no real subplot around him. In the movie the scenes skip along extremely quickly so it’s slightly hard to understand exactly what’s going on (Coppola, The Outsiders). Dally, in the Movie has a lot of scenes centered around him. He also has brown hair in the…

People often say that we don’t know what we have until we lose it, so you shouldn’t take people for granted. This was true for Phoebe's family. Mrs. Winterbottom was not cared about, or thanked, but after she left Phoebe’s entire family felt lost and didn’t know how to function correctly. That’s just one of the many themes of walk two moons though.In Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech there are plenty of themes that all intertwine with each other to create an amazing addition to the story. One of…
