The idea of Unlikely Allies in T.V. shows and books is used to create many different kinds of relationships between objects and people, and this essay will explore 3 examples of Unlikely Allies. It is fascinating when two very different people feel the same but don’t even know each other yet. It’s like you’re the same people in different bodies or even a different gender. Even though there are tons of unlikely allies, three probably stand out too many they are Alex Stowe and Sky from “Unwanteds”, Kimberly Drummond and Willis Jackson from “Diff’rent Strokes”, and A.C. Slater and Zack Morris from “Saved By the Bell”. The first example this essay will explore is Alex Stowe and Sky from the book series UNWANTEDS. Which shows a strong example of an unlikely alliance because they come from different islands That are over 20,000 miles away from each other . The unlikely circumstances that bring them together are that Sky washed up on the shore where Alex lived and was unconscious when he found her and the second one is that when Sky and Alex first saw each other they had a connection that would have never happened if and escape from her dreaded island ,Warbler, and also if Sky didn’t wash up against the shore. …show more content…
The second example, is Kimberly Drummond and Willis Jackson from the T.V.
show Diff’rent Strokes.Which also shows a strong example of an unlikely alliance because they are a different gender and race. They were also brought up in different sides of the world. Willis comes from Harlem, where as Kimberly comes from Park Avenue in New York. Two of the circumstances that makes this an unlikely alliance is that for one, Willis’s mom was the Drummonds housekeeper and that these kids come from two different places, but this wouldn’t have happened if Willis’s mom never requested for Willis and his little brother Arnold to stay with the
Drummonds. The third example is A.C. Slater and Zack Morris from the T.V. show Saved By the Bell. They also show a great example of unlikely allies because Zack is a type of person that is loose and relaxed and not involved in any sports while on the other hand A.C Slater is a football player wrestler, and his dad is a navy commander and very involved in A.C.s academic life. Zack tries to help A.C. get organized and work out his life. The two become best friends by trying to understand each other's life and help of get involved in each others life.
Allie's mitt was a very important symbol in Catcher In The Rye, the mitt had poems written all over it. Allie was Holden's little brother, he got leukemia and died in Maine. Allie's mitt symbolizes the innocence that Holden yearns for , Allie's innocence was preserved in the mitt. Allie died when he was young, he was still innocent. By dying young Allie stayed out of the phony, adult world. In some ways Holden wants to be Allie. Holden wanted to preserve his own innocence but he could not. A baseball mitt is a common part of childhood, so it has the "power" to preserve innocence. The most interesting part about Allie's mitt are the poems, a grown up would not be writing poems and reading them during the game, he would be competitive, and all he would want is to win. Allie was to innocent he did not care about winning he just wanted to play baseball.
The Notebook (Cassavetes, 2004) is a love story about a young couple named Allie Hamilton and Noah Calhoun, who fall deeply in love with each other. The Hamilton’s are financially stable, and expect for their daughter Allie to marry someone with the same wealth. Noah on the other hand works as a laborer, and comes from an underprivileged family. Throughout the film there were several negative behaviors, and interpersonal communications within the context of their relationship, which relates to chapter nine. This chapter explores relationships, emphasizing on affection and understanding, attraction, and the power of a relationship. The focus of this paper is the interpersonal conflict with Noah, Allie and her mother, Anne Hamilton.
Examples of loyalty can be found in many pieces of classic literature such as _Don Quixote_, _The Odyssey_, and _Sir Gawain and the Green Knight_. Many characters in the stories profess their loyalty to other characters. Some of them fail in their loyalty tests while others prevail. I found loyalty to be an underlying theme in all three pieces of literature covered in this paper. The examples provided should prove the theme of loyalty.
The PBS Frontline Documentary The Untouchables shined light on the claim that wealthier people in today’s society get off easier when they break the law. During the financial crisis of 2008, it was said that fraud was committed when many mortgage bankers and high-end executives on Wall Street knowingly bought loan portfolios that didn’t meet their policy credit standards. Even with the evidence in place, no one was arrested and held responsible for a stock crash that nearly destroyed the entire financial system of the United States. With a powerful justice system and justifiable evidence in place, no was prosecuted. Did the justice system not take the necessary steps to ensure that justice was served
Aimee Phan’s book We Should Never Meet, follows the lives of four Amerasian children brought to the US because of the Vietnam War. The book highlights their struggles, achievements, and efforts to become in touch with their Vietnamese background. The book goes shifts from present to past and allows the audience to experience every side of the struggle. From a mother’s point of view, a nun’s point of view, even an adoption helper’s point of view. Kim, Mai, Huan and Vinh all faced everyday struggles of being biracial in the United States. They also struggled eternally with the unknown of their placements in life and how fair or unfair life had done them. Huan and Vinh came to America in different ways but they had one thing in common, the struggle
For the first topic, I chose to write on the relationships described in the readings. Each story perfectly depicts the complex meaning behind the different relationships. No two relationships are the same; therefore, that is what makes them interesting to decipher. The subsequent relationships described below all had their ups and downs, which made them all very relatable, for me, as the reader. Furthermore, there was a very notable dynamic in all of the relationships in these past five weeks.
Specific aspects within A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan uniquely shape how it works as a novel. The loosely connected characters, different points of view, the use of the PowerPoint slides, and postmodern language all play important roles in the style in which this novel is written. Egan designs a “web,” which weaves each character in connection with the others as the story unfolds. As we follow the characters throughout the story, we see how they have changed and matured as they go from point “A to B.”
After watching “My so-called Enemy” it gave me insight into lives of others who struggle constantly with everyday life. This film shows the constant battles between the Palestinians and Israeli’s and how they’re two cultures are significantly different. The building bridges program offers a place of tolerance, where the girls thoughts and feelings are heard and allows them to take a step closer to “building a bridge” towards peace. It is not to make them come to an agreement or develop a solution but to create a safe environment to be themselves.
With all the books we’ve read throughout the semester, all of them have- in some way have been about mutual relationships. Freak the Mighty, Of Mice and Men, and Tuesdays with Morrie have all dealt with two main characters having a mutual relation that is either one-way or a stable one.
In reality, people have to make decisions they do not want to make for the sake of appeasing another person so things run smoothly. Romance is no exception to this. Romance is full of compromises because it is part of reality. Compromising in a relationship is not scary at first especially when young in the late teens and early 20s when there is still a big window of opportunity to drop the relationship, learn from it, and move on. Compromising at this age is all about trying to maintain a healthy, happy relationship. But the window of opportunity begins to quickly close after college age. The unsettling fact that one has to begin to compromise who one is negatively to obtain romance is a lesson within Laura Kipnis’ essay “Against Love”. This nonfiction piece discusses the issue of “compromise and adaptation simply to avoid mayhem” although it may go against one’s “fundamental ideas”. Rachel and Dev in Aziz Ansari’s fictional show Master of None illuminates this concept brought up by Kipnis by showing how the reality of having to compromise impacts the individuals in a spectrum of negative degrees within a serious romantic relationship.
Sam and Eric's relationships, purpose, and archetype will tell you how being on an island stranded with no adult to be guided by can be manageable and habitable, their characteristics and how they are depicted in the novel will give you the sense of being right there involved in the survival, breakdown of social order, savagery of the group, and more throughout. Sam and Eric’s involvement throughout the novel explains the events through another perspective giving an extra insight.
There’s bullying in the word, and sometimes we are the one who is being bullied. People have their own way to solve the problem, so not all people solve the problem like June T. does. And everybody have their own way of thinking. Sometimes solving a bully problem is hard, and sometimes is easy. Some people might not do anything (not do anything is like not telling someone, not fighting back), but sometimes do something is the right thing to do. In this story “Tuesday of the Other June”, by Norma Fox Mazer, it is about June T. bullied by another person named June M.. She (June T.) learned that sometimes you need to stand up for yourself. Need to fight back, not just standing there being bullied and not telling anyone or do anything.
As all the stories begin to interconnect in some way, relationships are tested, created and broken apart.
The fact that the English language has words that can have multiple totally different meanings and definitions is what makes literature fun and beautiful. The Stranger by Albert Camus is an example of that. The title of the novel, The Stranger, itself is a play on words, or even a double or even triple entendre. Camus utilizes the multiple meanings of the word Stranger to create a sense of ambiguity and larger profound meaning. Camus leaves both the meaning of the title and the question of who is the Stranger rather vague because he wanted to. He wanted the reader to question what is the right meaning or who is it? Or even if there is any or anyone. We don’t even know what the true meaning
Despite the fact that Jude and Sue are friends, their failure to deeply associate with each other uncovers the anguish and solitude that happens in numerous relations.
