    Cherry Valance's Disappearance

    When Cherry Valance, said things are rough all over, she meant that the Soc’s weren’t just what was displayed to them on the outside, and during the fights, they are also people that have lives, and families, and friends. When Cherry and Marcia are at the movies, the Greasers show up, and Ponyboy engages in a conversation with Cherry and she says that, “We have troubles you've never even heard of”(Hinton 34)Cherry Valance says this, because the Socs aren’t just the “rich kids, the West-side Socs”(34), they are real people with real problems. Another quote that readers may see is found towards the ending of the book, when the Socs pull up to the gas station that Ponyboy and Two-Bit are at. Randy says that, “(116). He kept trying to make someone…

    Fight Club Dialectical Journal

    For this reason, I chose this passage since this was the moment that Beli's life has permanently altered subsequent that unmerciful beating occurrence. This passage stood out while I was reading it and left an impression of heartbreak knowing the pain that Beli had to endure. After that merciless beating, I believe Beli lost confidence in humanity and died on the inside. In fact, I do not approve of violence also I disapprove of men laying a hand on any women under any circumstances. Beli's boyfriend Gangster took advantage of her because she was young and naive. Meanwhile, Beli fell for all of Gangster's dishonesty and believe all of his broken promises. Older men tend to take advantage of young girls and mold them when they are…

    Dialectical Journal For Lord Of The Flies

    As the story progressed, the line that draws the boundaries between the world of instinct and savagery contrast to the world of reasoning and civilization begins to fade. The death of Simon was meant to show the loss of peace and order as he was the only one on the island who was not afraid of “the beast” and was able to live with his mind at peace and think rationally based on reason, not instinct. I felt that the cruel fate that Simon had to endure was unnecessary brutal but I do see why the author incorporated it to get his point across, although I was a bit disturbed. I felt that the way Simon died was unrealistically brutal and I understand that it was meant to display the instinctive and animalistic behaviour of the boys when they were…

    Fight Club Rhetorical Analysis

    This passage provides a very powerful moment in which the narrator is informed of the extent of Tyler's power and control. During this scene, Tyler stresses the importance of "honor" while he threatens to castrate the police commissioner. Although the idea of this passage is very aggressive, the tone of the passage is calm and respectful, as Tyler uses diction such as "esteemed honor" and "your honor". While using blackmail as a method of insurance, he reminds the commissioner that honor is more important than the individual. This value reappears throughout Fight Club as well. We see space monkeys sacrificing themselves for homework assignments and chaotic operations; they are taught to put Fight Club and Project Mayhem before themselves. The passage also…
