For the role Cadence Sinclair Eastman in “We Were Liars”, AnnaSophia Robb would be a good choice. Cady has changed a lot throughout the book because of the accident in which she lost her best friends. In the book, before the accident, Cady tell Gat to “shut up” when Gat talks about the lower class and property, but after the accident she starts to give away her stuff to people who can't afford it. Also, in the book, she went through physical changes, such as dying her hair black after the fire. Cady is also very creative. In the book, she changes well-known fairy tales to creatively tell her story. She is also creative because of the way she describes her migraines. She says they feel like “ a truck rolling over the bones of my neck and head.” AnnaSophia Robb would be good for this role because she has played the role of a character that goes through an accident in “Soul Surfer”. She plays a girl who loses her arm, while Cady suffers migraines. Like Cady, her character in the movie has to rehabilitate herself and change after the accident. She also plays a creative and imaginative girl in “Bridge to Terabithia” who imagines herself in a world of her own,which is similar to Cady imagining her Liars. Therefore AnnaSophia Robb is perfect for this role. For the role of Gatwick Matthew Patil in “We Were …show more content…
Liars”, Suraj Sharma would be a good choice. In the book, Gat is an outsider. He is with the people he loves the most, yet he is still alone. Gat like talking about the world, but the Lairs are only concerned with their privileged life on the island. I know this because the text says “Not everyone has a private island. Some people have to work”. He is also an outsider because he looks different. Gat is of Indian-descent, while the liars are blonde-haired and blue-eyed. Gat is also strong-willed. He knows what he wants and goes for it. For example, in the book he wants Cady to know him outside of Breezewood so he yells at her and tells her that's what he wants. I know he is strong-willed because his motto is “Do not accept an evil you can change”. Suraj Sharma would be perfect as Gat because he has played a character who is an outsider in “Life of Pi”. In that movie, he is different from his family. Like Gat, he is with the people he loves most, but feels like an outsider. In “Life of Pi”, when his character is lost at sea, he has to be strong-willed and believe he will find land. Like Gat, Suraj Sharma’s character in that movie also had a sense of adventure. He would be perfect for the role. For the role Harris Sinclair in “We Were Liars”, Donald Sutherland would be a good choice. Harris sinclair is power-hungry. She does not let anyone boss him around. In the book, Cady tells him ivory is illegal and he should get rid of his ivory statues and his reaction to this is yelling at Cady and making it clear that he is in charge. He dominates power over his daughters, like when he threatened to cut Carrie off if she married Ed. That all shows his is power-hungry and that only he can be in charge. Harris is also manipulative. She starts fights between his daughters to amuse himself because he is lonely. He told Penny that Bess said she deserved the house and then he would not let Bess deny it. ANother time he was manipulative was when he told the grandkids that he was thinking about leaving his money to his alma mater so make his daughters angry. Donald Sutherland would be good for this role because she has played the role of a power-hungry antagonist in “The Hunger Games”. He plays the president who is in charge of everything and won't let anything get in his way. In that movie, Donald Sutherland has a granddaughter that he loves very much, like how Harris loves Cady. Both his character in “The Hunger Games” and Harris try to tell people who they can and cant love. Therefore Donald Sutherland is perfect for this role. For the role of Penny Sinclair in “We Were Liars”, Cameron Diaz would be a good choice.
Penny is materialistic. I know she is because she forced Cady to tell Harris how much she loves certain things around the house, like table clothes, so she can have them. In the book, it also said she changed everything, in the silverware when Cady’s dad left because material possessions make her happy. Penny is also caring. She does her best to make Cady feel better after the accident, like telling her everyday what happened, even though it hurts her to retell the story. She doesn't like her ex-husband but lets Harris pay for Cady go to Europe with her dad to make her feel
better. Cameron Diaz would be good for this role because she has played the role of a mother is a sick child in “My Sister’s Keeper”. Like Penny, her character in the movie has to be caring and take care of her daughter. She also plays a materialistic character in the movie “Bad Teacher”. Penny doesn’t earn money and need her dad’s money. Cameron Diaz had plays a character who is dependent on someone else’s money in “What Happens in Vegas”. Cameron Diaz had played many characters similar to Penny, therefore she is perfect for this role. For the role Johnny in “We Were Liars”, Jennifer Lawrence would be a good choice. In the book, Johnny is portrayed as an athletic character. The text says “Johnny wanted to run a marathon”. That suggests he is sporty. Cady describes him as bounce, which means he is very active. Johnny is also not serious, which makes him funny. In the book, Johnny doesn't know about Cady not remembering summer fifteen, even though Mirren and the Aunts told him before. That makes him not serious and funny. When the Liars were picking mottos, Johnny's was “never eat anything bigger than your ass,” which suggests he is not serious, but funny. Jennifer Lawrence would be good for this role because she has played athletic characters before. She played Katniss in the “Hunger Games” and her character has to survive a death match in which she had to be very athletic. She would be a good Johnny because she has acted in scenes with flames in the “Hunger Games”. She also played in “American Hustle,” in which her character was funny and clueless like Johnny.
.... Relationships, friendships, and love were the underlying emotions within this performance. The ensemble skillfully undertook each character with delicate care and respectfully balanced humor and sincerity to accommodate each character distinctly. The cast worked wonderfully as a team working and playing off the audience as opportunities were presented. The participants in this performance, although quite inexperienced, had quite an enjoyable time performing this comedic adaptation of Pirates. The actor playing the Pirate King showed off his stunning, powerful voice and agility in addition to his quirky sense of humor hilariously flexible. Comparing this actress to other females who have conquered this role typically noticing the successful female performers voices sound just as good on the ultra high notes as most of her male counterparts can on the low ones.
In fact, Cahan provides insight into this briefly, by mentioning that it was “an open secret” that many of Goldy’s guests could not attend the wedding due to “a period of hard times” (Cahan, 285). Therefore, illustrating that the economic hardship was not reserved just to the couple, but for the entire body of guests invited; thus, Cahan provides the opportunity for the character of Goldy to take these realizations and grow emotionally as a character. Most importantly, Goldy begins to realize the lack of joy that permeates throughout the evening by stating during her dinner that “everything is lost,” and when she states that she is the one “to blame for it all,” readers begin to realize that she is taking accountability for the foolishness of her material-driven ideals given the circumstances (Cahan, 287). In other words, Goldy now demonstrates a sense of emotional growth by knowing that all of the consequences to follow, such as a lack of furnishings and such, are all rooted from her unrealistic
In the Town of Salem Massachusetts, 1692, a group of adolescents are caught dancing in the forest. Among the adolescents in The Crucible, Abigail Williams and Mary Warren. The girls are horrified that they have been caught dancing, a sinful act, therefore they devise a story to evade punishment: they claim to have been bewitched. The first person who they accuse of witchcraft is a the black maid, Tituba. This results in her jail sentence as well as fearful suspicion throughout the town. Arthur Miller demonstrates the impact of lying as the girls recognise and manipulate their power in the town. Lead by Abigail, they go further, claiming countless others guilty and dooming them to exile. Miller demonstrates that there power is so great that even when Mary attempts to stand against her friends, she is quickly overwhelmed and once again plays along with their trickery. As the girls’ conspiracy continues, controversy arise over their truthfulness; people choose sides often lying themselves to support their side, further altering the lives of all involved.
The Liars Club is a story told as a memoir by Mary Karr and it is told from her point of view, and how she remembers certain moments of her life growing up in a small East Texas town.

When Mrs. Penn is baking her husband's favorite mince pies, we become aware of the first historical relationship. The author described her face as "full of meek vigor which might have characterized one of the New Testament saints." The author continues to express that "however deep a resentment she might be forced to hold against her husband, she would never fail in sedulous attention to his wants." These statements show that Sarah is as loyal, passive, and loving as a pious saint. The comparison also points out her forgiving nature which allows her to be loving and cooperative with her husband despite any differences they may have.
Should we stop lying and she would stop letting people lie to us? In “The Ways We Lie”, Stephanie Ericsson describes lying as “a cultural cancer that… reorders reality until moral garbage becomes as invisible to us as water is to a fish” (Ericsson 186). Ericsson believes that we have accepted lies to the point where do not recognize it anymore. Ericsson has a point, lying should not be tolerated but it should be the unnecessary lies that should not be tolerated. There are lies that are justifiable based on the intent of the person lying. All lies are harmful in their own ways from small lies, like white lies, to big lies, like out-and-out lies.
Arthur Miller was one of the most famous authors of his time. He wrote many plays and novels that people still read and cherish today. One of his most famous and widely read plays by Arthur Miller is The Crucible. A tale of the Puritan “witch” hunts. The play makes the reader think of the time period of which Miller was writing about. Miller links the Puritanical time period with the Cold War Era and the Red Scare which happened just after World War II. History shows us the reasons Miller writes the way he did. McCarthyism was a big problem in America, and Miller, through his writing shows us the struggles of innocent people being accused of something they did not do. Just like the people that were accused of being communist spies in America during the Cold War Era. In the play, The Crucible, Miller shows many themes but, hatred for the “unholy” is the main theme and is justified but the justification of hatred for people because of their differences of belief, practices, and customs by the Puritan people and their values and their religious beliefs which; therefore, is justified by The Holy Bible.
To begin, one character that faced discrimination in Of Mice And Men is Curley’s wife. Curley’s wife, the wife of Curly who is the son of the owner of the farm, is the only woman on the farm. She is constantly called names by the men on the farm because of the way she acts around them and is always mistreated and misjudged by them. Candy, an old man that works on the farm says, “‘Purty...but-...she got the eye. Well, I think Curley’s married...a tart’” (Steinbeck 28). This quote shows that Curley’s wife is a disloyal wife because men in the farm keep calling her a tart and that she gives them the eye. This quote also shows how Curley’s wife is property because they don’t call by her real name but only label her as “Curley’s wife.” It highlights
Though both characters began with little to nothing, they both obtain a high stature and great wealth. They did not earn this wealth, however, so this did not establish temperance within them. Their money does nothing to contribute to their character. Gatsby’s character is presented only through the parties held at his mansion. His wealth was only “earned” through illegal transactions between himself and Meyer Wolfsheim. Janie's character fluctuates throughout the story because she strives to achieve a sense of self through the challenges that she constantly has to face. Janie’s fortune was bequeathed to her by the death of her second husband. This inheritance is unneeded, however, because her third husband, Tea Cakes, is a successful gambler. Tea Cakes is unemployed because making all his money gambling eliminates his need for a job. Both Gatsby and Janie must overcome challenges to create the...
“Some people are like trees, they take forever to grow up” - anonymous. One theme the novel explores is “growing up.” Holden Caulfield seems very immature at the beginning of the story. He is dishonest to other extraneous characters. He is hypocritical. As the story progresses he gradually accepts reality and moderately matures.

I would like to try out for the part of Martha Corey. I like how the hysteria of the town did not affect
Many of the characters determine their social friendship based on money. Tom is one of those characters, he goes with the other rich people not because he knows them well and likes them, but because they are in list of wealthy people he meets them. Tom is a character who puts money first than relation. He never speaks of the great conversations he has, the fantastic personality of a friend, or about the urbanization, but only about where, when, and how they received their money. Jordan is also one such character she has been characterizing as a friend of daisy in the movie, she also choose her friends who are wealth and of high society. An example from the movie Jordan and Nick are shown to in love with each other, but as nick is not that rich she would not think of getting married to nick. Also Jordan is always captured with people who are wealthy and belong to high society. Daisy also chooses Tom not because he has some extraordinary characteristic, but she chooses him because of the wealth. So these are the characters that turned out to be picky to choose their social circle and
