I beheld an expression of shock when I realized who it was that had come to visit. Honestly, Heather Densen was the the very last person I expected to come and see me when I was injured by one of her little followers. My shoulders hunched a bit as I blushed, flustered that my hopes had gotten up. I had been hoping for Brendan to have come back from the dragons. I cleared my throat, and addressed her calmly. "Hello, Heather," I began, trying oh-so-hard to be polite, even after what she had done to me. "What brings you here?" She smiled brightly, a hint of concern in the ocean color of her eyes. Tentatively, Heather took a step towards my bedside. "I've heard around school that Zach had beaten you up badly.. I wanted to make sure you were

  • Narrative Techniques In Heathers

    565 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the film Heathers, we meet the protagonist Veronica; who finds herself friends with the incredibly rude yet “popular” girls and on top of the social food chain. It is evident from the beginning of the film that Veronica is unhappy with her life and has a strong desire to bring about social justice amongst her peers. There are several different forms of narration used in Heathers. One of the first forms that is employed is through Veronica venting her feelings in her journal. As Veronica writes, there is a voice over that is speaking what she is writing with equal passion. This form of narration is also used at Heather’s funeral when Heather’s “friends” took turns kneeling at her casket and praying. As each individual prayed silently, there

  • A Closer Look at Hannah Dustan’s Affair

    1195 Words  | 3 Pages

    Throughout literature, there have been many tales told about strong, brave heroes and mighty, wily savages and beasts. However, one story that still speaks to students today is that of a heroine by the name of Hannah Dustan, who killed ten Indians with the assistance of her two fellow captives. Together, they escaped capture, and Hannah Dustan told her tale again and again to individuals she encountered. Because she did not write her story down, others did it for her. In particular, John Greenleaf Whittier and Jonathan Carver both wrote compelling tales of Hannah Dustan’s capture, but it is only by looking at the differences between the essays, the reader gleans a more complete picture of Dustan’s experiences and societal issues that were occurring during the time period. For instance, gender roles, and savagery versus civility, and revenge are three themes running throughout both essays; all of these themes are still echoing throughout society today.

  • The Life of Kate Martinson. The alternative woman.

    1816 Words  | 4 Pages

    Kate Martinson’s diary provides an insight into life in the late nineteenth century that is usually unseen. Entries are written almost every year and are often poignant and descriptive. Kate Emily Anderson Emerson Martinson is a complete contrast to our perceptions of the nineteenth century woman. Not only does she feel restricted and a failure for not fulfilling the perception of a true woman, but she seems to fulfil the roles of both husband and wife within her marriage. She is responsible for both the families’ moral and economical wellbeing, and initiates a divorce and an independent life when her husband reveals he has another family. This essay argues that Kate Martinson is atypical, and challenges our original interpretations of a nineteenth century woman.
