Subplot

The plot in Graffiti Knight is straightforward and hardly goes off track. It doesn’t create many subplots, but instead develops small ideas and then drops them to go back to the main conflict. Unlike Graffiti Knight, Wanting Mor has multiple subplots that take the story off track onto different ideas. For example the subplots in Graffiti Knight were there to explain more about the perspectives of different characters, whereas Wanting Mor’s started off explaining…

Child of Dandelions by Shenaaz Nanji is a story of a girl forced to leave her home in a limited amount of time. Dance of the Banished by Marsha Skrypuch is a story of two lovers being separated during war times, with only a journal and unread letters connecting them. Both stories made the protagonist face against society, making them deal with events that eventually made them a stronger person in the end. While both books were well written, Child of Dandelions had overall stronger plot…

As scary as Erik may first sound, is he as big, bad, and terrifying as the book tries to make him sound? While we do know that he is the cause of Paul’s lack of peripheral eyesight, he looted other people’s houses, and made fun of Mike Costello, who is dead, his importance in the story is quite small. In some chapters, for example, when he's going against the Lake Windsor Soccer Team, Erik is only talked about around a couple of times. What makes Erik even less terrifying is that we don't…

female protagonists, Katia, Christina and Josie, and explores how they overcome extreme adversity though their lives. Many of the characters have to reconcile their family’s past with individual futures requiring strength and fortitude. Through the subplot of Katia’s past, Christina raising a child on her own, Josie is able to deal with cultural adversity. Overall, it gives an insight how adversity can strengthen women, ultimately enabling them to become independent,…

He views his son as being weak and this motivates him to want to have another “son” to fill his void. It’s a subplot that should be very subtle. There’s a very telling moment when Joe finds the newsboys’ hat out of place. It’s a clever plant with a great payoff. One really likes how Joe becomes proud of Eddie at the end. What’s not as clear is the insight that…

garners the qualities that pertain to a man of action and does not hesitate at the opportunity to avenge his own father. Demonstrating villain like qualities since the artificial madness has become a reality, Hamlet becomes an antagonist within a subplot between Laertes and…

For our scene performance, Aeran, Erin, and I chose to do the second half of Scene 1 in Act 1 of Much Ado About Nothing. This scene was between Claudio, (Aeran) Benedick, (Erin) and the Prince (me). Our scene began with Claudio asking Benedick if he noticed Hero, the King’s daughter, and what he thought of her. Benedick replied that he did not notice her much, and that while she isn’t ugly, she also isn’t that special to look at either. This conversation sets up the rest of the scene, while also…

couple run into, and the doors present opportunities not only for refugees fleeing war and persecution, but also for everyday people that are looking for a new place to go. In the main plotline, the couple meet and live with other refugees, but the subplots in each chapter – which break from any known characters and jump into a new story entirely – include the magical realism of the doors,…

I believe that Pastor Baart would agree with Colson when he says, “…serious Christians actually live happier, more fulfilled, and more productive lives by almost every measure.” I believe that Pastor Baart would agree with Colson because in all three chapters he provides evidence for why the life of a true Christian is the happiest, most fulfilled, and most productive. Pastor Baart does so by establishing our identity and purpose, the identity and purpose of each person in the trinity, and the…

argument to make considering if this passage would take away from the novel. The novel’s primary focus is Alexandra, as we know, the hard working but sexually/romantically deprived female farm operator. Emil and Marie exist central to a romantic subplot, mostly, but take the forefront as the symbolism for “The White Mulberry Tree” section. So while this section adds considerably to the novel, and stands in testament to Cather’s writing ability, the removal of said passage does not hurt the novel…
