In When We Married Gary, there is not much discussion about values. It mainly describes the real life experience of a family. However, it appears that the gender roles are shared because the illustrations show both the mother and the stepfather taking turns playing with the girls, and they are also setting the table together as a family. The adults' roles and responsibilities to the children seem to be very positive, understanding, and supportive. There are moments when the parents act silly with the girls, and they also discipline them at appropriate times. The stepfather seemed to have slipped in very casually. He let the girls know that he did not wa ....

was. "The reason he [Stradlater] fixed himself up to look good was because he

He was afraid of not having any special talents or abilities and used other
methods to make him out to be a rough tough boy. "Boy, I sat at that goddam bar
till around one o'clock or so, getting drunk as a bastard. I could hardly see
straight." (pg. 150) Holden tried all he could to fit in. He drank, cursed and
criticized life in general to make it seem he was very knowing of these habits.

A common parallel that can be drawn is that each knows first hand how prejudices can get in the way of a person's life and block a person's thoughts. The focus here is how Wright targets racism and how Thurman targeted Intra-racism.
Thurman was born at the turn of the century and did not live past the age of thirty-two but he still left behind him three books, one of which is The Blacker the Berry. Unlike Wright, Thurman chose several different settings in following the protagonist from home, to school, and then the city. As some African-American ....

A Literary Analysis Of Jack Kerouac's On The Road
524 Words - 2 Pages.... side by side with Sal Paradice on his adventurous treks across the country and see the world through his eyes. For every borrowed Cadillac and every hitchhike on back of a pickup truck, the reader is along for the ride. In every smokey little jazz club and every cramped run down apartment, the reader shares the experience. The way that Kerouac is able to create a detailed portrait of every situation shows that he is a master in the use of imagery.
The main contributor to this imagery, however, is Kerouac's use of extensive, though necessary, detailed description. The magnitude of the imagery in this story could never have been attained without the use of the vivid ....

To Kill A Mockingbird: Courage

Another example of physical courage was that of Atticus standing up against a
mob. The last example of courage was Arthur Radley fighting Bob Ewell and
saving the children.
In the novel we saw several example of moral courage. In my opinion

next display of moral courage was when Jem despite his misgivings constantly
went to Ms. Dubose's house and read to her. The next display of moral c ....
