    Arnold Friend Character Analysis

    Friend looked up at her from his car and said, “Gonna get you baby” (Introduction to Literature 485). She thought nothing of the event and just kept going on with her friend. A short time later in the story, while Connie was sun bathing and listening to music, Friend shows up at her house. The first thing to shoot through Connie’s brain was her wondering how bad she looked. There is something wrong with that picture, that there was a stranger at her door that literally told her that he is going to get her. Most normal teens would be afraid of this kind of behavior and probably report it, not Connie. Friend starts talking about how he wants her to come with him, and bribing her with the music that he knew she loved. With his smooth talk, Friend tells her “I know my Connie”…”I took a special interest in you, such a pretty young girl, and found out all about you like I know your parents and sister are gone somewheres, and I know who you were with last night, and your best girl friend’s name is Betty. Right?” (Introduction to Literature 488). Friend goes on in detail about all of the things he knows about Connie and as he does this, Connie starts to panic. The harsh realization that she is only fifteen and that she isn’t really experienced or old enough to know what to do in this kind of situation. She then went inside to be protected by the screen door.…

    Looking for Alibrandi

    Good Morning Good Afternoon Miss McCarthy and class. I will be discussing the novel Looking for Alibrandi by Melina Marchetta. The novel, Looking for Alibrandi is charged with emotional energy. Throughout the novel it shows cultural differences and a lack of communication and understanding between the family. This book is written as both a social and cultural analysis of Josephine Alibrandi’s life,, Josephine Alibrandi is 17 years old and comes from third generation Italian Australian. She feels caught in a claustrophobic trap between family lives obsessed with tradition, a strict disciplined Catholic school and trying to find herself and her position as a teenage girl. Throughout the novel Josie is constantly changing her views on people, and experiences her share of emotional upheaveful as she comes to realize that a perfect world consists of more than just gorgeous hairstyles, rich boyfriends and social privileges. It is a common representation throughout the novel that Josie Alibrandi is a selfish and egotistical girl whose internal angst and whose conflict with others all stemmed from her expectations that others should conform to meet her needs. This can be seen in her interactions with her close family members Christina, Nonna and Michael. She also selfish towards her friends John and Jacob.…

    Analysis Of Where Are You Going Where Have You Been

    The story is based in 1960s American suburbs and is told through the eyes of a teenager named Connie. The theme of the story revolves around Connie and her feelings as it is basically told through the eyes of a teenager. The reader is first introduced to the main character Connie and the theme of innocence is established. The first parts of the essay tell us how Connie does not get along with her mother or her sister. It is shown in some ways how Connie dislikes her sister June as her mother keeps praising her. It is very clear through some parts that her mother prefers her sister June to Connie because June is organized and cleans her room. “June was twenty four and still lived at home” and “she was so plain and chunky and steady that Connie had to hear her praised all the time by her mother and her mother’s sisters” shows how much her mother liked June’s habits and disliked the way Connie kept self-obsessing which was normal for any teenager. The way Connie keeps checking herself in the mirror and in people’s eyes shows how her sexuality is developing. She is shown to use hair spray and like her mother refers to her “Trashy daydreams” is seen obsessing about her appearance and her looks by the author.…
