In The Movie Mask
To be crass is to be uncaring, or uneducated on a sensitive matter. Many people in the world come to a decision brashly or hastily with what they say and it comes out in a very ignorant way. Occurrences like this are becoming more frequent now than ever. This is because there are more problems that occur nowadays for people to have different opinions on. In Wonder, Julian acts crassly towards August throughout the whole story. He treats him like garbage and doesn't feel bad. He wasn't educated by his parents on people with disabilities like this and thus treated August poorly. Not because he was rude and obnoxious, but because he was ignorant. This proves that Julian was crass through his ignorance to the matter at hand and what he did with the area of missing knowledge. …show more content…
This is proven to be due to the people being unknowing of his facial deformations when he mentions to them it's not a mask and that he actually looks like that. The TV show Arrow has a lot of examples of crassness. Oliver Queen seems like just an extravagant millionaire playboy. People call him out as being arrogant, cocky, and uncaring. Little do they know he is working as hard as he can as the vigilante “The Arrow” to save the city that treats him poorly. They are uneducated on the fact that he is not who they think he is and that he is trying to save them more than they’ll ever

    Andy was stabbed when he darted through a back alley on his way to buy a package of cigarettes at Alfredo’s on the next block. At that exact time, he was ambushed and later stabbed by a member of the GUARDIANS. A rival gang of the Royals. The ROYALS being that of which Andy was a part of. According to police officers that arrived on the scene about 45 minutes after the ambush occurred. “Andy Anderson was wearing a bright, purple, silk jacket with The ROYALS stitched across the back of the jacket and Andy delicately stitched in black lettering over the heart.” Police also knew that when they saw ROYALS on his jacket that this wasn ‘t a random act of violence, and that this was a planned attack. This attack shows the extreme dangers of Gang violence in the borough of Queens.”…

    Born into a family of great affluence, young Oliver( Oliver J. Queen), just as any other wealthy child would, pursued an array of skills but it was his exemplary talent in archery that stood tall from the rest; he was said to be a natural. On the flip side, what made Oliver just as normal as any boy was his idolization for Red Hood, but like most children that was something that would remain a thought and would soon subside. Oliver's skill in archery wasn't put to much use as he was a good-hearted, innocent child, slightly traumatized by his first animal kill, which was also coincidentally enough - an accident. Oliver was orphaned at a young age during a visit to a safari zoo after his parents were mauled by lions and since then he's always blamed himself for their loss as he had a shot on the lions but was too hesitant.…

    In the opening of the story Superman plays the typical role as the hero and role model, especially to Jimmy. On page one Jimmy, in this childhood moment, is outfitting himself with his own red superhero mask as he prepares himself to meet his idol at the auto-show he attends with his mother. Superman we see here is actually Super-Man, a middle-aged man in an ill-fitting costume of the wrong color, but he “saves” Jimmy from getting in trouble with his mother, resulting in him joining them for dinner and “nightcap” back at their home. Jimmy’s discomfort is evident in his facial expressions as…

    She is a working mother, which is unthinkable during this era, considering that she is from old money. She has gone without fillings in her teeth, so that he could have straight teeth, and she has sent him to college; something that a single mother generally can not do, which is a huge success on her part. Although life has taken some negative turns, such as the death of her husband, she thinks of herself as a winner because she has been able to single-handedly provide a promising future for her child. It is evident that Julian is aware of his mother’s sacrifices when it is addressed that he “... did not like to consider all she did for him” (O’Connor, 1965, p, 909). Rather than being appreciative, he attempts to find flaws in her decisions, and scrutinizes her every action. He claims that she made “... a mess of things” (O’Connor, 1965, p. 913), and spends most of his time discriminating her life, although he claims that it would be easier to find faults within her if she had been a violent alcoholic. This unthankful characteristic is a widespread phenomenon in the new generation. Many young adults overlook the great sacrifices and obstacles that their elders have overcome in order to provide a better life for them. Rather than being acknowledged, the majority of these selfless acts go unnoticed everyday. This is tragic, because compassion should not become an endangered…

    In the "Antigone," Creon has both flaws. He has the character flaw of willful arrogance and his unyielding behavior and he is flawed in his judgment (when he issues the proclamation). He realizes his character flaw when he states, "Oh it is hard to give in! But it is worse to risk everything for stubborn pride." (93-94) This is the point in the play where Creon realizes his mistake and begins to change as Teiresias has told him to. This is important because he mentions the difficulty he has going against his stubborn pride. The error of judgment is when he passes the proclamation without proper justification. His personal vengeance gets involved with his business affairs which cause him to make this fatal error. After Haemon states, "The wisest man will let himself be swayed by others' wisdom and relaxes in time," (234-235) Creon begins to feel guilt because he passed the proclamation blindly, without paying attention to the views of others. He passed the proclamation solely on his…

    This is an analysis of the character Creon from the story, Antigone. Creon is the uncle of Antigone and the king in the story. In my opinion he is very insecure and cocky. He is also very nasty, rude, ignorant, unforgiving, and acts like a dictator. He doesn’t listen to others, and he thinks he is always right about everything. He doesn’t like to be proven wrong, and gets aggravated when he is challenged by others and is proven wrong.…

    For my Benvolio mask, I chose the color blue for loyalty, the dove’s wing for being a peacemaker, and the monocle to represent wisdom. In public, when Benvolio enters the scene, he sees men with raised swords so he told them to “put up your swords” (1,1,76). Tybalt then enters and tells Benvolio to draw his sword but Benvolio tells Tybalt that he should “part these men with me” (1,1,82). This shows that Benvolio wants no violence but rather peace. Since a dove’s wing means peacefulness, honesty, and faith, I chose the dove’s wing because Benvolio has all these traits.…

    The few times where the author gives the reader glimpses into Julian’s home-life or backstory, the opinions of his parents demonstrate where Julian gets his attitude. Jack tells his mom that Julian’s mom actually photoshopped August’s face out of the class picture and gave out copies (158). This action mirrors the disgust for August Julian expresses. Some of the other kids’ parents who are more accepting provide a sharp contrast to Julian’s mom. For example, Charlotte says “Just so you know, my mom thinks Julian’s mom is a total idiot. She said she thinks people like her are more concerned about what their kids’ class pictures look like than doing the right thing” (172). In the end, his ignorant parents could not accept the changes happening in the school and decide to transfer Julian out…

    Julian's mother has the same views of black people that the slave owners before her believed. She still thinks of black people as inferior to white people. Julian on the other hand is of a new, younger generation, that believes that black people should be treated the same as white people. But Julian feels guilty because of his mother’s racism, so he treats black people differently from white people. In this way, Julian is not completely free from being racist himself. Soon, a tough-looking black woman and her son get on the bus. The black mother sits down next to Julian, and he realizes that she is wearing the exact same hideous hat as his mother. The fact that the black woman on the bus is wearing the same hideous green hat as Julian’s mother links the two women. Julian hopes it will teach his mother a lesson that she and the black woman are not so different, but instead she finds it amusing, she does not believe that black people belong in the same society as white people. Black babies are cute, according to Julian's mother. This is an example of Julian's mother thinking black people are inferior "She thought little Negroes on the whole were cuter than little white…

    In Oliver Twist, Oliver’s experience was bad. He was stuck in a situation. The social environment in which he was raised in encouraged thievery. He was born in poverty. Thievery and poverty are both bad experiences which we haven’t faced or lived through. Oliver ran away twice from people that provided him shelter in exchange for him committing to thievery. Some either in his group bullied him for being weak or he attacked them for commenting on his parents. His half brother wants to ruin life for him by destroying all the wealth that his parents left behind like the necklace. He doesn’t want Oliver to get any of his parents inheritance. Later his half brother is forced to give it all back to Oliver and now he has it all. Most of us have not ran away from home, been bullied, or bullied someone. We have not lived through what Oliver has. This piece of literature tells us about the situations he faced in details, and these we have not faced. It’s helping us to better understand what’s out there. One literary element would be individualism because he is left on his own. He is a orphan. We have not experienced this either because most of aren’t orphans or have been in and out of different foster homes like Oliver has. We can see and feel his emotions.…

    Julian and his mother in the story are two characters that greatly conflicts with one another. Not only does one representing the new South and the other representing the old South, their characters is ironic because they both have very strong view points regarding African Americans. Despite Julian's liberated and intellectual view on race he is in actuality a very weak character because not only are his judgements base on stereotypes of African American he is also unable to communicate with them. In the story, every time Julian…

    1. Can you paraphrase the poem if necessary? Yes.

    Julian believes that “Knowing who you are is good for one generation only....you do not have the foggiest idea...who you are”(O'Connor 28). His mother, on the other hand, believes that 'knowing who you are' is close to an eternal concept. As Julian's mother says, “you remain who you are”(O'Connor 28). That indicates she believes the essence of a person does not change, and the essence of a family does not change with the passage of time, which is why she is so fixated on her family…
