The play God of Carnage by Yasmina Reza begins with a simple set-up, four parents from different social classes coming together to discuss a dispute between their sons. As the play continues we see the characters slowly becoming less polite and civil as they start yelling at each other, getting piss drunk, and everyone’s favourite, vomiting. Throughout the play these characters are constantly being tested and judged. When Veronica and Michael attempt to show off their material possessions to the Raleighs they are given a metaphorical slap to the face as they physically ruin what the Novaks hold dear to them. In return the Novaks judge the Raleighs on their sense of righteousness and responsibility, the Raleighs social standing allowing them
He has a whole new ideology. Defined in McLaren’s “Critical Pedagogy: A Look at the Major Concepts”, ideology is “…a way of viewing the world, a complex view of ideas, various types of social practices, rituals, and representations that we tend to accept as natural and as common sense,” (69). Max, now a part of a very prestigious high school, can now see himself much more lofted than he once was. He is the son of a barber and though never explicitly stated, it is understood that Max is on some sort of scholarship. Since everyone else acts loftier because they go to Rushmore, Max seems to feel that he has to take on this same

What is a Hero? In the Novel Mythology by Edith Hamilton it speaks of many Greek Gods and Goddesses, you get a clear outlook on many of the characters in the novel. Many of these gods fit some criteria on what a hero is. An Epic Hero is a character who is brave and takes risks to accomplish tasks not only for themselves but for the goodness of others. A Hero is someone who doesn't only do things to benefit themselves but benefits the people around them and goes on quests to establish their greatness. Who is also glorified by their community. In the Novel two characters by the name Theseus and Perseus meet many of these characteristics. Perseus is very brave and goes on a quest to capture an item that is very dangerous
The book starts off with Max thinking about “The Unvanquished Truth” and how max is reminding himself “I never had a brain until Freak came along and let me borrow his for a while” (1). He remembered of all the names people had called him in the past years including Mad Max, Max Factor, and Maxi
While Max had problems with his past and his body, Freak had problems with his body and his future. Max was there to lend his big body for Freak’s big brain. They went on quests together like in the story of King Arthur (which was “behind” their whole friendship). It might’ve started out negatively but over time it became the glowing star in the whole galaxy.
Maximum (Max) Ride, age 15, is a completely independent, caring, and mother like leader of her flock, Dylan (15), Iggy (15), Nudge (12), The Gasman or Gazzy (9), and Angel (7). These kids have been together for as long as they can remember, and that includes being raised for some time in dog crates. Max is really easy to relate to, she has the problems of a normal teenage girl, and what seems like the weight of the world. Let’s be honest who hasn’t felt like that? As they do so, readers will love watching Max evolve.
In our 6th Grade class we are reading Freak the Mighty.In chapter 1 through 16 we learned about Max and Freaks friendship. In chapter one we learned about Max’s life. In chapter two we read how Max and Freak saw each other. Freak greeted him with a Identify yourself earthling. And DIE EARTHLING! Chapter three talks how Max helps Freak get a kite out of a tree. He helps him because he saw Freak hitting the tree with his little crutch. He goes with Freak to his place and talk. When the Fair Gwen finds out that Freak is at Max’s Houses she goes and gets him. She looks frightened that Freak was at Max’s House. In the next few chapters Max goes over to Freaks and Talks to him and goes on “Quests” with him. They also go to a park to watch the fireworks on Fourth of July. In chapters 11 through 16 The Fair Gwen enrolls Max in Freak’s Smart Classes. And the students are bothering him with “Killer Kane, Killer Kane had a kid who got no brain” Few days after Freak starts to eat lots of American Chop Suey and then starts to choke and the teachers call an ambulance. They take him to the hospital and check him out. In Christmas eve Freak gives him a Dictionary with his favorite words. Then Killer Kane kidnaps Max and takes him to the Testaments.
His father kills his mother, then the father goes to jail and Max gets stuck with his grandparents. Max is lost, needs a friend desperately and needs help. He even admits it on the first page, “I never had a brain until Freak came along.” He always thought that his head was empty. “Not that I have any ideas. My brain is vacant” (6). He said he was brainless, stupid, couldn’t learn… He did not believe in himself and Freak came along to help him understand that there is an “...unlocked door just waiting for you to open it.” -Unknown
...ne who will remember. His thought "Max did not even know!" (p.494) shows some of the passion behind his quest for self. If extreme emotions are polar opposites of each other, and one is born simply with the capacity for emotion itself, then Bigger could have been great. But the image of the death of the product, the child, of the city appeals to those who caused his birth, and there is no redemption for Bigger. Society hates most what it itself creates, and Bigger as the very reflection of that society must die. He is not a good person, he is not noble or true or brilliantly creative. But he has the capacity for all of those things, and has not been given the chance to fulfill them. His crime of violence is as much the crime of the people around him, who stifled his soul and nourished the other, baser side of him that was the only way he had of self-expression.
Society tends to misjudge people base on their appearances instead of their personality. As it’s shown on Cyrano de Bergerac story everyone misjudges people. Cyrano was ashamed of the way he looked, especially with his enormous nose that made him stand out. People didn’t care if Cyrano got his feelings hurt they thought he was a cruel person. Its bad when people tends to misjudge people without even knowing them but they just judge them by their looks instead of their personality. People shouldn’t be ashamed of the way they look and it shouldn’t stop them from accomplishing their goals and express their feelings towards the people they like.
August Pullman and Roy “Rocky” Dennis don’t look like the rest of us. August and Roy were born with a disorder in their face, leading to their face being deformed. “Wonder,” by Raquel Palacio, is a fiction novel based on the views from August’s close family and friends. This story explains how it feels to have a deformed face. “The remarkable life and death of Roy L. “ Rocky” Dennis,” by Elysia McMahan, is a nonfiction article based on the life of Roy Dennis. It describes how people can react to other people with deformed features. The theme, tone, and characterization all help the reader understand the topic.
I think people shouldn’t judge others by how they look. They should judge a person by how they act or their personality. I think a lot of people regret not being friends with August after they got to know him. A warning if you ever see a deformed person is never show them you’re afraid of them because most deformed people are depressed, and when you show them you’re afraid the depression gets
Proof of this is “ push-ups and twenty-two sit-ups. When he finished, he would sit against the basement wall with his paint can friends, feeling his pulse in his teeth, his muscles felt like cake. He wondered at time if pushing himself like this even worth it.(zusak pg 251) this is crucial because he feels demoralized about his position and himself when facing adversity. Max also experiences loss of loved ones when he needs to leave his family because the jews were being transported to concentration camps and he had to leave them to survive. Proof of this is, she held him one last time, by the elbows. “This could be your last hope.” he looked into her agingface and kissed her hard, on the lips. “Come on.” walter pulled at him as the rest of the family said the goodbyes and gave him money and a few valuables. “It’s chaos out there, and chaos is what we need”(zusak pg 193). This is crucial because if max did not leave it would change the whole story he would immediately be dead or spend the rest of the text in a concentration camp.
