    911 Words  | 2 Pages

    It was the third night of summer vacation and the narrator and his two friends, Digby and Jeff, wanted to show the world that they were misfits. That they were ready to cut loose and indulge in their hedonistic desires because it was hip to be reckless, uninhibited, and rotten. They were restless and bored, cruising around with the headlights pointed at the dawn and having all the time in the world and nothing to do with it. They were cruising around looking for action and excitement, "looking for something they never found", and looking for a way to scratch an itch that they couldn't scratch since the beginning of the summer. And in their minds, having fun was synonymous with being bad.

  • Psychoanalysis of The Sweet Hereafter by Russell Banks

    1132 Words  | 3 Pages

    The film chronicles the histories of three fathers, and manages to relates and link their events and situations. First is Mitchell Stephens and his relationship with his drug-addict daughter. Second is Sam, and the secret affair he is having with his young daughter Nicole. He is somewhat of a narcissistic character because of his preoccupation with himself and pleasing himself, and his lack of empathy throughout the film for the others in the town. Third is Billy, who loves his two children so much that he follows behind the school bus every day waving at them. Billy is also having an affair with a married woman who owns the town’s only motel. On the exterior the town is an average place with good people just living their lives. But, beneath all the small town simplicity is a web of lies and secrets, some which must be dealt with in the face of this tragedy.

  • The James Wright Festival

    840 Words  | 2 Pages

    After reading the poem entitled “Youth”, I felt that James Wright was not only describing the life of his father but also the lives of the many other factory workers in the Ohio Valley. Many of these workers had either dropped out of school or went straight to the factories after high school, never really getting a chance to enjoy their lives as young `````adults. I think that has something to do with the title of this poem. It’s clear that Wright knew his father and the other men were not satisfied with their jobs and just chose not to speak about it. These factory workers slaved away and then came home “quiet as the evening” probably because they were content to just be relaxing at home with their families. They knew that this was their way of life and they had to do it, even if they had big dreams to someday get away. I think that Wright was also trying to make a point that these men who worked so hard every day were not valued as much as they should have been. These men did not have the education to get a higher paying job but they did have the proper skills and knowledge to work in the factories. I like that James Wright mentioned Sherwood Anderson in this poem as I enjoy his work. Anderson left his Ohio hometown for Chicago to pursuit bigger and better things because he knew if he stayed in the area, he would be unhappy. However, it is a little ironic that Anderson one day just got up and left in the middle of writing and was said to have a mental breakdown.
