Tom Clancy's Quote Analysis
Thirdly, purpose can be used to help the reader determine the tone of text because it demonstrates how a speaker conveyed this context and what the speaker was trying to spark in the audience. Quote by Tom Clancy says, “The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense.” Roughly translates that the difference between reality and fiction would be that fiction has to be understandable.

    Captain John Yossarian possesses this aggressiveness, lack of morality, and courage characteristic of anti-hero, stemming from a desire to stay alive as long as possible. Major Sanderson diagnoses Yossarian, saying, “‘You have a morbid aversion to dying... You have deep-seated survival anxieties… It wouldn’t surprise me if you’re a manic-depressive!’” (Heller 303). This quote is important because it tells the reader why Yossarian is so aggressive and dishonest; he will do whatever it takes to stay alive. Clevinger also explains Yossarian’s behavior: “...a homicidal impulse to machine-gun strangers, retrospective falsification, and an unfounded suspicion that people hated him and were conspiring to kill him” (Heller 20). Along with this quote,…

    The movie I chose to analyze was Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan. Overall, I would say this is a must see movie. The movie is action packed, drama filled and heart felt. It really makes you appreciate those men and women who have died for our country. If I had to rate the movie between zero and five stars, five being the best, I would not hesitate to give the movie a five out of five. Besides all the action and well written dialogue, the actors who play the parts are perfect fits. All in all this movie accomplishes everything one of its type should hope to accomplish.…

    Written by Arthur Miller, the Crucible is a reading filled with many significant and important quotes. One excerpt expresses the hidden dishonesty and deceit within the Puritan society. It says, “There are wheels within wheels in this village, and fires within fires” (28).

Unlike Mrs. Putnam, Rebecca has been granted with plenty of children making her quite envious over Rebecca. She tries to suggest that maybe the Devil helped her have so many kids. This quote is therefore used by Mrs. Putnam to express her religious knowledge in order to help explain about this mysterious and puzzling event that has been occurring in their quaint village recently.…
