Compare And Contrast Lupah And Robby
Lupita, Sarah, and Robby exhibited egocentrism, meaning they see situations from their point of view. Lupita and Sarah used symbolic thinking when they made leaves and sticks represent the walls of their pretend house. Robby also may have used symbolic thinking to make the climbing structure into a “fort”. Lupita and Sarah followed simple rules they created during their fantasy play. All three children have a finer understanding of cause and effect. They also demonstrated feeling powerful and excited about their own abilities.
Robby interfered with the girls play perhaps because he wanted to play with the girls, but not necessarily the same game they were playing. Maybe he was trying to get their attention when he stepped over the wall of their house, enticing them to chase him and engage in play together. Another reason Robby may have intruded on the girls’ play was because it seems Robby may have been thinking more concretely when he referred to the girls’ make believe wall, saying “I can too get in.” Perhaps the sticks and leaves did not seem like real walls to him and he took it as a challenge to show the girls he could step over them. Maybe he felt powerful when he stepped over the wall of the girls’ house. Also, Robbie said, “It’s not really your house.” This may imply Robby maybe saw his climbing structure “fort” as more of a real structure because it has an actual frame and mass to it, as

    That stalls us for half an hour, and then we leave. The bus gets half way back home, and the chaperones realize something. They forgot one of the teachers and the group he was watching that day, so we drive back and call the teacher, turns out they somehow got a ride home right after we noticed them missing. The bus didn’t get home until around 10:00 that night. My mom was about to unleash on the teachers and deans for getting back so late. We were supposed to be back at 7:30 pm, she was there for two and a half hours waiting for us to get back, but then they explained what happened, and that didn’t help much. She just told me to get into the car and go home. I get a call right after I get home from Mike saying he took Schroeder’s wallet, and I was just like “Leave the kid alone, man, he already had a rough day”. That was the understatement of the year, he had the worst day of his life, but he wasn’t mad at us at all. Even after we told him about the Superman seat, he just blew it off and was in a good mood. He is the most resilient kid I ever met; he takes so much from those guys, but he still likes to hang out with them. I got to show some respect for…

    As the reader follows the Athenian lovers and the fairies on their journeys, various messages are conveyed through symbols and metaphors. The language and messages evokes vivid images in the reader's head. The moon is compared to a woman who is capable of controlling time, controlling the seas, crying, and being fruitless. Flowers are symbols of romance, raw human emotions, and fairy magic. The flowers can metaphorically make people feel compelled to fall in love and are also capable of crying and feeling shame in this play. Cupid is portrayed as a controller of love. Just like love, Cupid is a young boy who is irrational. He is a child with a blindfold and wings, ready to take aim randomly, causing people to be afflicted with love. The moon, flowers, and Cupid are the main themes of metaphors presented in A Midsummer Night's Dream by William…

    Individuality in characterization is what drives the story of a novel and many authors use this technique to their advantage. In The Poisonwood Bible, Kingsolver uses multiple points of view to reveal theme through characterization. The theme she conveys is the individuality present in one's reaction to the surrounding people and environment. This characterization in relation to theme is shown through the voices of three of the four daughters, Rachel, Leah and Adah. Although each daughter is presented with the same obstacles, Rachel reacts in a selfish and careless style, Leah reacts in an active and emotional way ever aware of her surroundings, and Adah reacts in an analytical, scientific manner.…
