Raymond's Run Important Quotes
Although Hazel goes through many disappointment in her life, no matter what, she never gives up and she stays confident. These three important quotes from the story “Raymond's Run” and from the song “The Greatest” by Sia, they both talk about being determined and confident no matter what, nothing is impossible if you set your mind to it. To begin with, the quote, ‘’ I stay up all night studying words for the spelling bee. And you can see me anytime of the day practicing running. ‘’ (pg 29, line #100) Shows that Hazel stops at nothing to be the best of the best. She sacrificed her night to practice for the spelling bee, because she is determined to win. In the song “The Greatest” by Sia, Sia says “ I work hard, play hard, pay dues, ayy”. This

    Hazel Tells Laverne Analysis

    I would describe Hazel as probably being a lower class uneducated female. I would have to take a guess that she is uneducated because of the way that she talks and the fact that she is cleaning out a Howard Johnsons restroom. I also think that she may come from the south from the way she runs words together to form other words. As far as Hazel’s personality goes, there is not a whole lot of information to give me a proper idea as to what kind of person she may be. I would have to say that Hazel is rather sassy with her attitude. I think that the idea of a frog coming out of a toilet and proposing that if she kisses him she will become a princess, in all reality, is quite terrifying. And I find it quite funny of Hazel…

    Spellbound Movie Review

    Neil Kadakia is a very motivated young man who has an older sister that went to the national spelling bee before he did. This is one way that motivates him because he wants to do better than her. His motivation is a lot of external motivation because of the pressure his father puts on success and tells him that he can not fail. Neil also has some internal motivation because he knows that this is a once in a lifetime experience especially since his family is not from America. He also has his grandfather who lives across sea that is having over 1000 people pray for him while he is at the spelling bee. This alone can make someone want to succeed even more so that they don't let down all that have helped him get this far. He was a little different from the others in that he had a lot of friends and was very active in sports and social activities, but he also took his studying very serious. His entire family helps him practice so that he can try to achieve the ultimate goal of winning the spelling bee. With his sister being a previous contestant she gives him pointers and helps him with strategy and things like that. His mother and father help an extreme amount, his father often spends hours with him studying dictionary after dictionary. When Neil got knocked out of the competition in 9th place, he was very happy for making it as far as he did. His father didn't seem to be upset either, everyone in his family was just happy that he made it as far as he did. He took…
