Mean One Mr Grinch Analysis

There always seems to be a person, who is just plain mean, and picks on everyone in his way. In the book Under the Dome by Stephen King, James Rennie, known as “Junior” is this bully. The song I chose to describe Junior You’re a Mean One Mr. Grinch, written by Dr. Seuss. The Grinch and Junior share many common traits, and are both not very friendly people. Junior however, may be a bit more violent than The Grinch, as so far he has been responsible for multiple deaths in the book, including two girls who had “bullied” him in school before the dome days. Many people simply would avoid Junior, other than his friends. People would also avoid the Grinch, as he was quite a nasty person.“I wouldn’t touch you with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole!”
He cares about his two girls more than anything else in the whole world. The song Bridge Over Troubled Water relates very closely to Rusty. The song itself is very light, and has a lot of emotion in the lyrics. This is exactly how Rusty treats his two daughters. He always cares for them, and helps them when they are in need. “When evening falls so hard, I will comfort you” (Simon). This quote is very relatable to Rusty, as he always comforts his girls when times are tough, especially at night, when they have had problems in the book. Not only is he very caring to his daughters, but he loves his wife just as much. They do not see each other much at home, as both are busy at work, however they write each other notes and work together to run the household. You could say Rusty is a protective father bear for his family and he protects his cubs. :) (metaphor) The song also talks about how Simon will ease a person’s mind. Rusty is also very good at relaxing people, as seen when he took care of his daughters early in the story. “It doesn’t matter, Rusty said hugging Jan close. It wasn’t your fault” (King 172). This was Rusty’s response to her daughter Jan’s health incident. He was able to calm her down so she could get back to bed. Rusty is simply a great father, and loves and cares for his family with an overwhelming passion. Being able to placate his family’s needs, and being very caring make Rusty a great parent, and one who is always there as in Bridge Over Troubled
