Ethan Lawson Wate Analysis
There are certain people that come into your life and leave your life relatively undisturbed. For example, all new teachers when each school year starts. While there are other people that make room in your life for themselves, pushing something else out in the process. Those are the people that transform your life. The protagonist in this story is Ethan Lawson Wate. Ethan lives in a Gatlin, except no living happens there and Ethan is the only one that feels the loss. Being a small town there are no strangers, making it impossible to keep secrets. There are rarely ever any unique people and everything is always the same. Despite Ethan’s less than favorable opinion regarding his town, he still fits in, and acts just as they act. As soon as

    Any Lived in a Pretty How Town Analysis

    Anyone Lived in a Pretty How Town by E.E. Cummings tells the life cycle of townspeople and of one unknown couple. The subtle language choices, inverted syntax and use of repetition make this poem stunningly effective. "Anyone" is the protagonist, who is disliked by the "women and men" or "everyones" of the town, because he is different and follows his own routine. This poem tells the love story of Anyone and Noone. "Anyone" is used as a proper noun,this person isn't spoken about as if he were just anyone, and that he appreciated and valued his and Anyone's individuality. Using 'Anyone' as a single specific character reinforces the idea that this person was isolated from the rest of his town. The use of inverted syntax shows that Anyone is the protagonist of this poem, set in a "pretty how" town. "Pretty how" seems to describe the superficial lifestyle lived by the members of this town. Anyone is a colorful character in a town of black and white.…

    children´s lives. For young adults, those fairy tale characters give away to darker characters and more realistic situations. However, what do they all have in common? They live in short stories. Two stories that are interesting are ¨Thank you Ma'am¨ by Langston Hughes and ¨The Sniper¨ by Liam O ´Flaherty. Both center around young boys who are having hard times in life. Roger in ¨Thank you Ma'am¨ tries stealing Mrs. Louella Bates purse. The sniper is fighting in the war for others. While there are some obvious similarities, both authors approach these stories, specifically the characters, tone and point of view, in different ways.…

    Coming from an average suburban upbringing, the protagonist of the story displays identity confusion based on his own background and the actions and influences of his peers as well as the media of the time. In a setting as quiet as the town, sheer lack of excitement was enough incentive to go out and get into mischief for him and his peers. The “nature” of their actions were, to him, human nature in the…

    Ben Carson Chapter's 7-9

    There’s an old saying by Eleanor Roosevelt that states “You can never really live anyone else's life, not even your child's. The influence you exert is through your own life, and what you've become yourself.” I believe this statement is true. However, what Eleanor Roosevelt fails to mention was who, or what kind of people come into our lives and influence us to change for the better. Do these particular individuals shape our paths, or our futures? Or when these people come into our lives is it meant to happen for a reason? No one knows for sure, but when we meet someone who leaves such a profound effect on our hearts and minds, like foot prints in the sand we remember them forever. Ben Carson always mentions that his mother helped shaped his life, as well as his family, students, teachers, his strong belief in god, and his love for books helped shaped his future. Throughout middle school, high school and college these key influences would lead him to what he has become today.…

    The Start Of Me And You Character Analysis

    The main character Paige Hancock is a typical teenage girl in high school with some problems. After the death of her boyfriend Aaron she is struggling to join the real world. With the push of her friends and family, she finally joins the world. This new found confidence and plan throws her in for a loop. The setting of this story is set in a tight-knit town named Oakhurst, Indiana. Where people are known for the good and bad, they have done while rumors spread quickly. The main setting for this story is Oakhurst High School. Oakhurst is a very typical high school with the clicks, and the teachers are mean, boring, and strict. Paige does not describe the high school in great detail but the way she and her friends feel towards school, I can get a picture of Oakhurst. I think the author wrote the setting this way so she can develop it in the story. The author's development of the setting is very simple. She builds on a setting by describing the people in detail or how Paige feels. This allows me to get a better picture of the setting without the author going into much…

    How Different People Leave Imprints on Our Lives

    Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be, but when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way. Some people come into our lives and quickly go, while others move our souls to dance. They awaken us to new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom. Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon. They stay in our lives for awhile, leave Imprints in our hearts, and we are never, ever the same. These are the people who enter our lives with a unique lesson to teach us. And it is only through these lessons that we learn about life, people, relationships, and ourselves. So appreciate every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people that you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love, break free, and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Look beyond the masks people wear if you want to know their heart, and remove your own masks to let people know yours. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don’t believe in yourself; it will be hard for others to believe in you. Everything is possible with heart and dedication. Try every thing once, there are times when we must quit something, but call it “letting go of loose ends.” Communication is key, love with all your heart. Live the life that makes you feel complete, makes you happy, and makes you wake up every morning with a smile. There's always something to learn, someone to meet, and something extraordinary to tell. It's about finding a meaning and sharing a story. Create the person you want to be in this world and in this life, and share the experiences…
