I want to highlight the three moods everyone felt. The first mood was Luckiness; Annie was extremely lucky to be adopted to such a rich man through such hard times. Especially with how much he cared for her. Another Feeling was Good vs. Evil; due to with Miss Hannigan, she wanted the money reward so desperately she would have done anything to envisage. But, she knew better than to let someone kill Annie, so she helped by stopping Rooster from killing Annie. Finally, there was that overall good feeling; the movie is just so exceptional that you just can't help dancing! With all the happiness, it's hard to imagine how tough it was for everyone to get …show more content…
One of the numberless themes was Optimistic Output in Life; even with the hard times people just genuinely made the best of it. No matter how poor one may be, they still made the best of it. They also gave Hope, Optimism, and Justice; they genuinely did hope for the best and gave justice to everything little gift they received. Finally, the theme of Homeless and Unemployed; since no one had any money, no one had jobs as well. Also, it happened to so many numberless people it was hard to not notice how effective it was for
One example of the theme occurs when the author first introduces the story. “But the summer I was 9 years old, the town I had always loved morphed into a beautifully heartbreaking and complicated place.” (pg. 1). The author is saying that the year she turned nine, she found out something about her town that broke her heart and changed the way she saw it. This quote is important because it supports the theme. It shows that now she is older she has learned something about her town that made her wiser than when she was younger. She is now more informed because the new information changed her and caused her to begin to mature.
Here it is seen that McClung is developing and proceeding in her fight to provide equality among the sexes, by allowing girls to participate in sporting games. She was providing her female students with the privileges they rightfully deserve. Furthermore, she again went against the norms of a woman in the nineteenth century by simply being a teacher. All of which making Nellie McClung an example of a strong, feminist activist for other women of her era to follow She successfully taught at Hazel school for seven years. It was also at Hazel school that Nellie met the woman who would make the largest impact on her life, Annie McClung.
The film reflects the class difference from beginning through the end, especially between Annie and Helen. Annie is a single woman in her late 30s without saving or boyfriend. She had a terrible failure in her bakery shop, which leads her to work as a sale clerk in a jewelry store. When Annie arrived Lillian’s engagement party,
...in theme.The main theme is rasisms,blacks being treated unfairly and being discriminated by the whites.These type of books interest me a lot and The Help shows us that things can change.I also liked the other themes,for example,bravery,all three main characters were brave and took risk to make a difference.
The first theme, racism in which the narrator is trying to find out who he is. As the narrator who plays the role of “The Invisible Man” has issues of finding his own identity, he struggles with the fact that he is an African American man living in an extremely racist white society. From the beginning to
From the beginning of the film until the end Annie is struggling to find her own self, often she is experiencing the negative cycle of the self-concept. Contributors to the self-concept include; self-esteem, reflected appraisal and social comparison, and all of this can be subjective, flexible and resistant to change. In the first parts of the movie it really showcases that
The book The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, by John Boyne is about a young boy, Bruno, whose father is a soldier in the German army during WWII. Bruno lives with his parents and his older sister, Gretel. They live in a five story house in Berlin. He goes to school and has three best friends that he goes on adventures with. One day he comes home to find their maid packing his things. They move to a three story house in Germany because his dad was promoted and needs to be closer to his work.
Throughout the entire book, Annie overcame great adversity along her journey. As a child, finally seeing that there was a gap between black and white people after the movie theater incident is the most significant thing that happened to her during her adolescence. It gave her the trait of determination. From then on out she was determined to figure out why there was a gap and questioned to herself what she could do to close it, and that is something she spends her entire life working
Through these, the portrayal of the complex nature of happiness is shown to contribute to the enduring value of the film through the realistic style of the film and by showing different perspectives on the same person showing the audience that different people view actions in different
themes. One that stuck out to me is Fitzgerald expressing how the idea of true love is just a
In the book, My Ántonia, by Willa Cather, the main character of Jim Burden comes to learn many lessons about life in this coming of age story. The dramatic tale of Jim and his relationships with his family and friends weaves a unique depiction of frontier life that is rarely seen. The lessons that the main character learn throughout his time on the Nebraska plains are powerful values and characteristics that help Jim become the man he is. Jim never comes to the conclusion that his story is about his maturation, as he see the tales as reminiscence of his friend Ántonia. The lessons of education and loyalty are all throughout the novel, but one lesson is at the center of My Ántonia. The idea that people must love others for who they are and not for who they wish they would be is a life altering lesson that makes Jim a dynamic character. The story details the timeline of Jim’s life as he grows up, and then as he is older, his journey of discovering how he can always find his way back to loving the best in people. This lesson can be no more apparent than in Jim and Ántonia’s relationship.
One theme was survival. People risked their lives during an air to get a drop more of soup, sons killed fathers for a ration of bread, rippin clothes off the dead (or believed to be deid) to stay warm!

Our hair, our color, our speech- everything is wrong about us”(174). Foster home can be the start of his life. However, due to his race and language he speak, he never got the chance.

Even he didn’t do anything wrong at that time, theses protective parents already labels them as
