    Jerry Spinelli's 'Maniac Magee'

    In the book Maniac Magee, Jerry Spinelli, made Jeffery very productive by being productive on every task he had to complete. One of the biggest times Maniac Magee was productive was when Amanda Beale said no to letting Magee have a book of hers. He was productive and eventually got the book on page 10-12. Try to imagine how hard it would be to get that book from Amanda if you seemed like you had no interest in the book.It would be next to impossible because she loves her books, and to give a book to some random kid who doesn't care about a book would never happen. Luckily Maniac Magee loved to read, and he wanted to learn so he ended up getting the book he worked so hard for. Jerry Spinelli, really went above and beyond on this book by making…

    Jerry Spinelli's Response Of Children To Maniac Magee

    Use in education and research Maniac Magee is popular in elementary school curricula. Many study units and teaching guides are available, including a study guide by the author. The novel has been used as a tool in scholarly work on childhood education and development. Fondrie cites it as an example in a discussion of how to bring up and discuss issues of race and class among young students McGinley and Kamberlis use it in a study of how children use reading and writing as “vehicles for personal, social, and political exploration.” Along the same lines, Lehr and Thompson examine classroom discussions as a reflection of the teacher’s role as cultural mediator and the response of children to moral dilemmas, and Enesco studies expressions of social identity in the responses of children to Maniac Magee.…

People blamed Tommy for coming up with the idea about the aliens. Then at the very end of the story everybody blamed Charlie because he shot Pete and Charlie blamed everyone else so quickly for all of their actions.

    Paul Darnell Crime

    This story is quite diverse in relation to the other sources. Most of his crimes were not convicted, as he was able to cover up as an “innocent boy”. The theme of deception occurs; this is usually what a criminal has. They can lie, twist words and deceive into people’s thoughts of them. This source reveals that not all crimes go convicted; some are unheard of and leaves the criminal free. This can happen when there is little evidence, law is on the side of the criminal and even age can be a factor. Animal abuse, intentional harm and the reversed twist of the mother harming the child is the diversity of this source which is off path to the usual and generalised crimes occurring throughout crime fiction such as murder, rape, theft etc. Although this is a different aspect, it is still a unique understanding of the different types of crime related to the core…

    Margaret Atwood Happy Endings

    The characters’ lives are not perfect, and they have many flaws. By introducing other characters and issues, the author makes the story entertaining (Atwood, pp. 449). The conflict in the story added to the middle portion, making it seem much more interesting. In this part of the story, unlike part A, the author includes issues in John and Mary’s relationship. These issues lead to the death of Mary, but a happy ending for John and Madge, the woman he now loves. When conflict or new ideas are added to the middle of the story, it grabs the reader’s attention and makes the story more interesting. In this same way, when new things are added to a person’s life, it affects how they live. This section is much different from the first and seemed much less of a favorable option. Unlike the first, it had detail in the content of the story before leading to the death of a character. Like part B, Part C of “Happy Endings,” deals with quite a bit of conflict (Atwood, pp. 450). The addition of detail to the characters’ lives in these parts shows Atwood’s point of making the body of the story the main focus. The conflict is what drives the middle section of the story and makes it interesting. In both parts B and C, the conflict takes up the middle portion of the story and drives the plot until the characters’…

    How Is Interpersonal Conflict Portrayed Within Characters in “Sarajevo Marlboro” and “Accidental Death of an Anarchist”?

    One strong similarity between the 2 books is the way in which the authors portray the internal conflicts of the main characters, and how these internal conflicts create chaos within the novel. In the Accidental Death of an Anarchist, the Maniac displays his internal conflicts through the use of disguise. All throughout the play, the Maniac disguises himself to the officer and the judge, not only to form the farcical tone of the play, but also to disguise himself from who he really is, thus proving that he faces many conflicts as a character. The main character in Accidental Death is the Maniac. The play begins with him being brought into Bertozzo’s office to be questioned about the death of the anarchist.…
