    Character Analysis: Strange Brew

    People say that Canada lacks a unique identity, but Strange Brew took this opinion as a challenge with its extreme, satirical exaggeration of the stereotypical Canadian. Everything from the language to clothing is a Canadian exaggeration. The plot takes a Canadian pastime, beer, and revolves the story around it. What this really shows is the true identifier for Canadians, the ability to be at the butt end of our own joke. From the toque to the skates and all the Canadian stereotypes in between, scratch Strange Brew and it bleeds red and white.…

    Character Analysis: Unbroken

    I genuinely did not expect to learn this much from the book Unbroken. The story of Louie Zamperini was unexpectedly much more understandable and relatable than I first imagined. Seeing the main character was a former war hero, I found it surprising I was able to connect to him as I happen to be fourteen. In my opinion, readers can easily compare similar situations in their life, regardless of their age. A point often overlooked, Louie is a true survivor. He was stranded forty-seven days on a crammed raft, as well as beaten without remorse at a prison camp for two years. Louie was stripped of his friends as he watched them either be transferred or slowly die. He witnessed many accounts of sexual abuse to innocent and helpless animals, as well…

    Fahrenheit 451 Character Analysis

    The Fahrenheit 451 symbol I created is an atomic bomb with the tail of a book. This represents Montag because he spread knowledge and the importance of books to the society and it ended with the fall of the city. He knew the power of books and people hated him for it. The background is perfect blue skies with clouds because it shows how shielded from the truth people were in the society by the government. they don't even know anything about neighboring cities. “And across the world, thought Montag, how many other cities dead? And here in our country, how many? A hundred, a thousand?” (155) Everyone thought everything was okay and just another war until suddenly the bomb came and decimated everything around them and the intellectuals and montage…

    Internal Conflict In Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes

    In Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury, Jim is seen struggling between internal and external conflicts. The text “Jim leaned at it”(Bradbury 101) shows the internal conflict of Jim wanting to be older. Jim does this by leaning towards the carousel while its moving forward, but does not actually get on.

    Something Wicked This Way Comes

    There are many themes present in Something Wicked This Way Comes that surround Mr. Cooger. The primary one is the Knowledge of Good and Evil concerning the carousel and its powers as well as the theme of Karma/ What Goes Around Comes Around. Mr. Cooger is aware of the evil nature of the carousel since he is the one that uses it most. Mr. Cooger plays up the carousel as something that will make life better and is capable of making their deepest desires come true. He knows it is evil, but Jim does not so he tries to convince him into riding it. At one point he “stretched out pink fingers urging softly: … Jim…?” (Bradbury73) Jim, not knowing the evil nature of the carousel “Twitched one foot forward” (Bradbury73) about to jump on it. Had it not been for Will, who had better knowledge of the carousel, stopping him Jim would have ended much older. During this process the boys break the carousel and Mr. Cooger’s “hair (turned) long, spidery, white” and his “eyes were mummified shut.” (Bradbury75) Karma had hit Mr. Cooger for being so deceiving and advantageous of others. “The man was cold as an albino frog” (Bradbury76) In the end he was turned into a dust that “was an antique spice, burnt maple leaves, and prickling blue that teemed and sifted to earth.” (Bradbury196) In the attempt to be brought back to full life, Mr. Cooger and his assistants failed and killed him completely, returning him to his first stage.…
