    Annie Get Your Gun Thesis

    • 1501 Words
    • 7 Pages

    Although Frank had let his defenses down (another reference to a competition with Annie), lost the battle, and fell in love with her, his ego could not tolerate being second to his woman. He wrote Annie a goodbye letter and told her she was too smart for him. He left the Buffalo Bill show and went to another show where he could once again be a star. .Annie went on tour in Europe where Queens and Princes gave her accolades and medals to honor her skills and accomplishments. Her independence was one of the most unacceptable qualities to the 1950’s audience. Although she was clearly devoted to her sisters and brothers, when the time came for her to go on tour with Buffalo Bill, she didn’t hesitate. She didn’t stay home with them. She found childcare, hugged and kissed them goodbye, and went off to pursue her dreams. While no one under thirty would blink at this choice, it was clearly not what would be expected of the 1950’s single girl with a family to support. Annie also didn’t stay back, waiting for Frank to come back. She walked up the gangplank and headed to Europe and success. She was in fact the greatest sharpshooter in the world but in the post WWII era a woman was incomplete and lonely without the man she loved. The plot made sure that the Buffalo Bill, Sitting Bull and the promoter saw how unhappy Annie was and brought her home to America. At that time a happy independent woman without a man was not allowed, So Annie had to go back to…

    In addition to the major themes of the book, another theme would be the power of words. This greatly impacts Frank when he gives his first speech. He did not consider it successful because the kids were not listening, they were critiquing him, and they did not care about what he had to say. Nevertheless, he received letters from the students thanking him for coming and demonstrating their appreciation for the speech. Frank did not believe they were truly expressing the gratitude he thought they were saying, rather he thought it was just an assignment the teacher had them do. This impression remained unaffected until he saw a letter that read, “I bet you had a long, boring ride back to Philly” (Meeink, 2010 p.248) At that moment he realized…

    The author writes the book in his own point of view, which makes sense because the story is about his own life. By writing of personal experiences, the reader is persuaded to take the book more literally. Because the book is written about Abagnle himself, the reader gets to know his personal thoughts and reasoning for his crimes. When Frank cons his father and is caught, his reasoning is evident when he says: "It's the girls, Dad....They do funny things to me. I can't explain it" (17). The reader also gets a better feel of the way Abagnale thinks, and his ability to manipulate others for information. Acting as Bobby Black a high school reporter, Frank interviews a Pan Am pilot and gets all the information he needs: "I was finding a lot of nuggets for my poke" (35). He also gathers information from the women he dates in his present field of work. While the women believe Frank is interested in getting to know them, his real motive is to become as educated as possible.…

    Of course other factors might have also affected Frank’s actions such as his benefits from engaging in the crimes. For example the idea of transporting drugs straight from Vietnam and cutting out the middle man gave Frank the benefit of being able to have a larger profit. Becoming a drug trafficker instead of buying his drugs from other dealers was a more appealing action for Frank because this way he made more money for himself. Also the way he had his drugs transported made it less of a hassle for him to get caught giving him more opportunity and…
