Gyptians And Jordan College Analysis
What would it be like if you had two different families looking after you? And we are going to describe the two different families, the Gyptians and Jordan College. Among the presence of the Gyptians and Jordan, we figure out how the Gyptians told Lyra about her life, how the scholars of Jordan just leave Lyra, how Lyra only hangs out with the servants of Jordan and we can see how the Gyptian people actually notice Lyra unlike Jordan. Throughout the golden compass, Lyra meets the Gyptians who tell her about herself. Do to Lyra “missing” a chunk of her brain about memory. Since John Faa has told us about Lord Asriel being Lyra’s father, I figured out that Lyra gets more attracted to knowing about her life. This also reveals that Lyra has no …show more content…
You don't have to like someone just because you were told to. Among the presence of the scholars, Lyra really isn't wanted by them. Due to Lyra not being wanted by the scholars she just wants to run around as a kid her whole life and doesn't learn anything but when she does she really doesn't keep it in her head. The real result or reason was because Lyra is barbaric to them and they wouldn't like assisting her learn. Since this happened we know that Lyra doesn't want to learn from them. This also results in Lyra going to live with Mrs.Coulter since the scholars told Lyra, “You need a lady scholar.” The connection of Lyra being ignored and not liking someone just because you were told to is that since Lyra wasn't liked by the scholars they didn't really have to like her just because Lord Asriel dropped her off …show more content…
Always have a voice to be heard and if you can't make it heard just keep trying. To wrap up it up we see that Lyra is needed for the expedition to the north. Since she is needed, she doesn't need to talk about how she wants to go to the north. One thing is that she gets to rescue Roger or Lord Asriel while she is up there. Due to Ma Costa not going she gets to have fresh air on Fader Corum’s boat while heading to the boat that is going to take the fighters. The way Lyra being needed for the north and having a voice is good is that Lyra was declined at first but she kept speaking and giving evidence on why she should go north and it resulted in her going north because she wanted her voice heard. Sometimes meeting strangers is a good thing. When Lyra encountered the Costas they said that Lyra was needed to speak to Lord Faa at the roping and she did but she also learned valuable information like about her parents and the fight between Mr.Coulter and Lord Asriel. This affects Lyra because now that she knows about how brave Lord Asriel was and how it's her father. Since Lyra meeting Lord Faa, a stranger, she learned how she is related to Mrs.Coulter and how Lord Asriel is actually Lyra’s

    Based on Lyddie's character traits, Lyddie made the right choice on going to college because she values learning. First off, on page 78 the text said ¨she had to know what would happen to little oliver.¨ Lyddie always wants to find out what was going to happen to little Oliver in the book Oliver Twist.

    Families play a large role in our world. Sometimes families keep you together but at other times they can tear you apart. The subject of family is a major theme in Khaled Hosseini's extraordinary novel, The Kite Runner and Shakespeare’s well-known tragedy, King Lear. In both of these writings, family is a constant theme that occurs throughout both works of literature. Family relationship is often expressed through the actions of the characters and by what they say. Although Shakespeare’s well-known tragedy, King Lear, has father figures, they do not act very fatherly. Khaled Hosseini’s fiction novel, The Kite Runner has better father figures. This can be proven by examining the different themes, how fathers from both works show compassion, acceptance and power.…

    Piety In The Odyssey

    Helen attempts to seduce Hektor in order to keep him out of battle, however he unwaveringly turns her down: “Do not, Helen,/ make me sit with you, though you love me. You will not persuade me./…I am going first to my own house, so I can visit/…my own people, my beloved wife”. (Iliad Book Six lines 359-366) Hektor, rather than even considering adultery, leaves quickly in order to speak with his own wife before he leaves again for battle. The charm that Helen has over Menelaos and Paris holds no sway over Hektor, who is faithful to Adromanche and his own people. The attempts to seduce Penelope are far more persistent and by many men. As Odysseus is held up on his voyage home, he is presumed dead and therefore Penelope a widow. As a widow she is expected to remarry. Yet in spite of the social pressure to remarry, she keeps hope that Odysseus is still alive and remains faithful to him by any means possible. For instance, in order to stall the marriage, Penelope tells the suitors that she will marry after completing a burial shroud for Laertes, Odysseus’ father, but every night unravels the work that she had done that day. This shows her hope that Odysseus is still alive, as Laertes is a metaphor for Odysseus and her refusal to believe him dead. Penelope is also always modest when dealing with the suitors, as a married woman…

    Autobiography of a Face

    Lucy's description of her early disease is particularly upsetting. Her family, overwhelmed by financial and emotional turmoil because of the stress of her illness, is not as visible as the part they actually played. Lucy's mother was a somewhat blurred figure who seemed to disappear by the middle of the book and portrayed her father as a particularly vague individual. However, the day-to-day trappings of illness force her to rely on her mother, whose relationship is one of the most disturbed, and moving. Early on she comments that when she was a child she didn't understand that her mother's anger was caused by depression, but she never elaborates on this observation. Her mother compares being brave with being good, and says: "At a time when everything in my family was unpredictable and dysfunctional… here I had been supplied with a formula of behavior for gaining acceptance and, I believed, love. All I had to do was perform heroically and I could personally save my entire…
