like this. Shown in The Outsiders, Socs actually enjoy jumping others, specifically Greasers, get drunk often, and are smug about their power. Greasers, on the other hand, are just trying to get through life peacefully and without conflict. Even though some Greasers do the same things that most Socs do, it is because they are trying to relieve their inner pain. Take Dally, for example. Dally has been raised up on the streets and
vWhen you have fun and are having a good time in The Outsiders by S.E Hinton you know that you are talking about the character Soda. Soda is a wild and crazy character that just gets drunk on life itself. Soda is also a fun and very good looking character that likes to have a good time. Soda likes to be romantic, but can also get torn, or can be seen sticking up for someone else. Soda is also very romantic in a way that if he finds the girl he likes, he will try to marry her. “‘Steve and
to the outsider as members of the culture are too involved in it (Miner 1956). It is extremely vital to be able to analyze the culture from this point of view as it can help to obtain credible information. That is why, analysis of communication with the help of this approach should be performed. It should be said that according to Robertson people build their communication basing on cultural phenomena and mentality peculiar to them (2006).

to remember that characters are just as important as the plot in all forms, not just restricted to the theatre. As an actor it is our job to present a character that is true to the play by transforming words on a page to full-bodied animate characters that drive the plot. Being tasked with such an important job it is necessary to study and put to practice the acting techniques of Stanislavski as well as the techniques brought forward by Grotowski. Claire is an underrated character, one who could easily
How much of who we are comes from our own inner predisposition, or mere interpretation from an outsider? Is someone obliged to become either a hero or villain by virtue of their existence, or are heroes and villains moulded over time from origins that could have taken either path? Analysing the preconceived ideas of Bastardy in Elizabethan society, it can be seen that the illegitimacy of Don John, “Shakespeare’s most passive villain” is the root of his villainy. Prejudgement, to pass judgement without
As freely gifted to his brother, he would never receive the same money, status or respect. With aspects out of his control defining his life, Don John’s source of bitterness and motivations to spoil other characters happiness become clear. However it can be argued that he is rendered an underdeveloped and uninteresting antagonist when compared to the likes of the cunning Iago or valiant Macbeth. This is justifiable considering the focus of the comedy is to
Beauty and the Beast, Loneliness, Old Grocery Horse, Brook’n Bridge are the tittles of the photographs from Mr. McGee’s photography portfolio. The tittles of these images are reflections of major characters in the novel The Great Gatsby. By alluding to characters in this way, interpretations can be made to gain unique insights that contribute to the characterization of various personas in the text. It is my belief that the image “Beauty and the Beast” alludes to Daisy and Gatsby. Daisy is intelligent
Holden Caulfield is the main character and narrator of Catcher in the Rye. The story is given after the fact in a stream of consciousness, as Holden is in a rest home. Holden alienates himself to provide a sense of protection from the “real” world he must start living in. He describes adulthood as superficial, hypercritical, and shallow. He believes that he is above the adult world, as all adults are phonies. Holden believes that phoniness is what is wrong in the world and is his excuse for alienating
