    With the daunting task of facing a derelict, volatile world, an eight-year-old boy manages the unthinkable - survival. Cormac McCarthy illustrates how the boy in The Road encounters many obstacles during his childhood, and in spite of these hardships, resists numerous temptations to give up in life. The combination of growing up in a dysfunctional family as well as a bleak, barren, cataclysmic environment affects his psychological and physical development and makes his life extremely difficult to bear. The environment in which the boy inhabits is nothing short of hellish. As stated by Janet Maslin in her criticism of The Road, “the boy was born a few days after [the mother] and [father] ‘watched distant cities burn.’” (Maslin 2). The boy grows…

    Reginald Rose, the author of 12 Angry Men, writes his book using complex characters and word choice that effects their characterization. In the book 12 Angry Men Reginald Rose uses abrupt but cultured text is straightforward picturesque at the same time when talking about his characters. Roses denotation and connotation affects his characters and their attitudes throughout the entire book. When he explains his characters thoughts and actions it helps portray them differently from each other. In 12 Angry Men Rose portrays his characters several different ways. For instance he uses denotation to make some characters sarcastic and dry. Rose also portrays his characters as light hearted and playful when he uses connotation. His portrayals of each character are different but similar throughout the story. You can clearly see similarities between some characters as well as distinct differences in others due to Roses word choice. Roses denotation and connotation play a big part in the portrayal of each of his characters. When Rose uses connotation in his story he makes the word choices more cheerful and positive. But when Rose uses denotation in his story he takes a deeper darker path in his word choice. For instance when juror 3 says to juror 8, Let me go Ill kill him Ill kill him Rose is using denotation. Or when juror 3 says Shut up he is also using denotation. When I say Reginald Rose makes his word choice picturesque I mean he uses imagery. Reginald Rose also uses diction when describing his complex characters, thats what makes them so straight forward. The fact that each of Roses jurors has a different type of word choice gives them each a unique way of being portrayed. Each of Roses characters is also cultured. When I say cultured I mean that Rose has added some of his self into each of the characters. It seems that each character has some real world knowledge and street smarts and thats what makes them each similar to Rose. Overall Reginald Roses use of abrupt but…

    Among any of the main events such as encounters with other people, the survivalist character of the father is shown, which is only contradicted by the boy, who resembles the Father 's morality. With this contradiction, there is an spark of internal conflict in the man raising several questions. The most important of these is perhaps how important it is for the boy to learn ethics and human morality. There is a part of the man that wants to believe that the world, though thrown into an utterly irreversible disaster , will still live on in its natural state before the occurrence of this apocalyptic disaster, yet there is another part that wishes for the goodwill of his son, which can only be accomplished by teaching him proper…

    “All cruelty springs from weakness” (Lucius Annaeus Seneca). So is true for Stephen King’s character Jack Torrence in The Shining. Jack’s character is weak and flawed and because of this he is unsuccessful at being strong. On the other hand, Danny, Jack’s son, is very innocent but very strong in character, which helps him to defeat the evil that lives in the Overlook hotel. Although there natures are very different, they both have many of the same traits, such as empathy, courage, and maturity. But where Danny uses those traits to help him in his journey, Jack’s weaknesses make his traits flawed, irrelevant, and lead to his downfall and death. Jack and Danny show that what we do with our weaknesses defines our character.…
