    Kit Tyler's Change

    In the beginning of the novel, Kit Tyler acts differently than she does at the end of the book. She is impulsive because of her upbringing, when she lived a privileged life in Barbados, and had a lot of servants. “Turn back Captain,” she ordered impulsively, “’Twill be an easy thing to catch.” She is outspoken and competitive, “She could not help laughing as she passed him, and with a feeling of triumph she beat him to the boat.” Also, Kit is thoughtless when she insults Nat about the smell of the Dolphin, and when she jumps after the doll, when Prudence drops it into the water. Kit is also very immature compared to the people of Connecticut who are much too disciplined to Kit’s point of view. Lastly, she is somewhat arrogant, because she was brought up in such a wealthy neighborhood, “She was quite plainly a servant...Kit was impatient when the Captain removed his hat and spoke with courtesy.” At the beginning of the story, Kit was immature and tactless, but that changes.…

    Psycho Black Raven Analysis

    Alfred Hitchcock’s motion picture Psycho, released in 1960, contains peculiar placement of predatory birds and other fowls with corresponding lines about birds from Norman Bates, the primary antagonist. The most obvious reference to birds takes place in the parlor of the Bates Motel where Marion shares her last meal with Norman. As Norman invites Marion into the parlor, he sets the food tray on the coffee table and turns on the lamp. Immediately, Marion’s eyes point the camera to two birds mounted on the walls: an owl with full spread wings in the corner and a black raven hovering over the couch. Marion enters the room and takes her place on the couch under the raven while Norman sits across the intimidating glare of the owl and under another…

    Jess Walter’s writing was definitely an interesting read and I felt like it was unlike any of the other readings that we have read thus far. It kept me interested in the story and I felt that was partly because of the mystery that came with it. The end of the story was a little suspenseful, not exactly knowing how the story was going to continue until you kept reading. Overall, it was a good short read.…

    New England Vs Chesapeake

    As previously stated, the New England colonies were mostly settled by families while the Chesapeake region was mostly settled by single, young men. This lead to the New England colonies having close settlements and more of a small town atmosphere for the children in the colony. A list of emigrants bound for New England, from 1635, shows that one of the youngest members heading for the New World was Nathaniel Bernard, who was one year old, Musachiell Bernard son (doc b). The list also showed there were seven families headed to the New World (doc b). The strong presence of family life created a sense of security. The town was focused on keeping the families together and making sure they were all unified. In an Articles of Agreement written in Massachusetts in 1636, the author says, “ We intend that our town will be composed of forty families,...rich and poor.” (doc d) The towns wanted the people to live together and help each other. Unlike the New England, the Chesapeake region consisted of mostly single men. The list of emigrants headed to Virginia in 1635 consisted of 64 men and only 11 women. The youngest being 14 year old James Whithedd (doc c). With more his lead to an every man for himself atmosphere. The men of the Chesapeake region disperse when they reached the New World.
