Recommended: Importance of characters in a novel

Reflection 2: I think Kaitlin Burke the protagonist, is the best person to tell the story The Secrets of My Hollywood Life because, the novel is all about her, and her life as a Hollywood actress. Us as readers, get a better understanding of the novel when we read about an actor or actress when that person tells the story. We the readers also, get a true picture of what Hollywood life is all about when we hear what Kaitlin’s adventures and experiences are. Another example of this is when Kaitlin states “I do work hard… and I’ll keep working. But I need some time off… and I’m going to take some time this hiatus”(67). Only Kaitlin knows how tired and hard she works. So it’s obvious that she should be and is the one and only person to tell

  • Chasing the Dreams: Rose-Johnny

    582 Words  | 2 Pages

    Barbara Kingsolver, author of “Rose-Johnny” once said, “The very least you can do in your life is figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof.” This quote is very relevant to the points Kingsolver was stating throughout the story of “Rose-Johnny.” Every single person has several of dreams in their lifetime, which they want to fulfill. One thing those people have to watch out for is the many obstacles that they may encounter on their journey to success. Just like Rose-Johnny and Georgeann had to throughout the story. Success is a big deal to many, especially those that love the feeling of doing something to their greatest ability and doing a great job at it. I feel like Kingsolver implied numerous of hint through the actions of the characters and made the reader ponder on them for awhile, some of these would be the fact that nobody should lie and if it happens people should fess up to their mistake, everybody gossips so watch what is said about others, and people need to watc...

    ...t task to tell a story from someone’s perspective rather than my own. Although, considering other’s perspectives can be detrimental in order to understand the choices they make. I sympathize with Wideman because he has a difficult task, which he accomplished outstandingly. I was surprised on how much emphasis he gives to the possibility that he may be misrepresenting his brother’s perspective, and consider this is a smart move in the sense that he is being fair to his brother. Finally, I consider any solutions he has taken to not interfere with Robby’s perspective have failed because representing another person’s point of view rather than your own is next to impossible.

    ...ned with Ed and Marylynn, and it is very logical that one would do so. However, readers may find reading this story more beneficial if they can learn from it. The lesson behind this story is that one should not be suppressing one's feelings and emotions too extensively and should let out these feelings by seeking forms of release or by simply expressing one's feelings. One might argue that Sally's esteem is what ultimately led to her downfall, nonetheless we have to keep in mind that confidence and self-approval, not to be confused with arrogance, are also what individuals need in order to live a fun and fulfilling life. It might be an overstatement to say that our protagonist is living a lie, but it is easy to say that she is not living her life as her true self, her internal self, and can very well never be happy in this lifetime if she continues to live this way.

  • Sarah Polley’s Stories We Tell

    1236 Words  | 3 Pages

    Polley highlights the notion of truth and how each individual sees it differently. In her film, she denotes that in order to understand the truth and its subjectivity, stories must be seen, heard, and told (Vulture 2013). The interviews depicted in Stories We Tell allow the audience to absorb the subject as well as witness each character revisit the past and see it in a different light. This is shown near the end of the film where each character is seen reflecting on the subject of their mother, reflecting on their “private memory, his or her ‘truth’” (Vulture 2013). Through presenting this near the end of the film, it allows the audience to register how subjective the truth is, in that although they all spoke about the same topic, the way in which they reflect on this is entirely associated with what they remember.

  • Analysis of Two Kinds by Amy Tan

    1425 Words  | 3 Pages

    By stating how other people behave or interact, the author offers a great chance for readers to interpret fairly for themselves what the reason for any conflict may be, or the nature of any essential contrast between the narrator and other adults in the story. In the story, there are many self-righteous opinions from people, which seem to be ironic to the readers; For example, her mother’s aggressive attitude of showing off her daughter, her piano teacher’s self-praise claiming him as “Beethoven.” All of the narrations including conversation clearly depict a different characteristic between the narrator and other people. For instance, a conversation occurs between the narrator and her mother when the mother criticizing a girl who seems similar to the author on TV which reveals dissimilar understanding for both of them to each other’s behavior. At first, the daughter speaks out for the girl by questioning her mother by saying “why picking on her […] She’s pretty good. Maybe she’s not the best, but she’s trying hard.” The daughter actually is defending for herself and reflecting that she feels uncomfortable with her mother’s disregard of her hard work. She wants to get her mother’s compliments instead of her criticisms. However, her mother response of, “just like you,” and, “not the best. Because you not trying.” Here, her mother doesn’t really answer her question, instead wants her put more effort on trying, neglecting how much she has tried before. However, in her mother’s perspective, she has never tried hard enough. By narratively stating the conversations she has encountered, readers perceive a strong implication of the reason for a future conflict between her and her mother.
