tistic side. Although Groot is a plant-like organism and a member of a team of intergalactic vigilantes, we both do have some similarities, such as our serious and childish sides and the inability to communicate naturally with most others. In the first few scenes after introducing Groot, it trying to speak to Peter Quill, repeating the phrase “I am Groot” in slightly contrasting tones. When Peter Quill mentions that Groot has repeated the same sentence to him many times, Rocket explains that Groot is only able to say the words “I”, “am” and “Groot”, specifically in that order. Groot has a very child-like nature, often being easily distracted and in his own world, it may seem. After being locked up in a prison, Rocket is explaining the escape …show more content…
Groot then wanders off to get a battery from a tower in the center of the facility that Rocket had said that they needed, only that Groot did not wait long enough to hear that the battery had to be the last thing that they get, because an alarm will go off when it is plugged out of its place. Groot is limited when it comes to speaking, his best friend, Rocket Racoon being the only one that seems to be able to understand what it is that Groot is saying. Despite Groot’s limited vocabulary, the variation of tones that he applies to those words when said, express how he is feeling in a situation or towards someone. Later on in the film and following into the sequel film - where adult Groot is reborn as Baby Groot - Peter Quill and the other members of the Guardians of the Galaxy are able to better understand what it is that Groot is trying to say. When Groot notices that there is a threat to his friends, he will ditch his childish and gentle side, turning merciless and brutal towards whoever or whatever the threat may be. I am often misunderstood by my family, mainly because they cannot relate to what I am talking about. Since I am very passionate about film and writing, I enjoy breaking down and analyzing all of the different elements in a movie or book. I practically eat, live, and breathe

I connect with Scout because we both have been outgrown by a sibling. Jem is outgrowing Scout. As Jem gets older he becomes more mature. Jem does not want to do the same stuff that they used to do. Jem’s friends are an influence to why Jem does not want to play with Scout as much. He could see his friends and realize that they have become more mature and want to be like them. For example, when Dill came to Maycomb he started to exclude Scout and just hung out with Dill. He might have realized that what he was doing with Scout was childish and that he needs to do more adult activities. Jem was sitting at the adult table during their Christmas meal, this is an example of Jem becoming more mature. Atticus could also be an influence to Jem outgrowing
Like Jem, Scout shows maturity through the way she controls her self and reacts. For example, when Cecil Jacobs, a boy that goes to Scout’s school, tell Scout that her father is a nigger lover, Scout wanted to fight him but then set herself back. The book states, “I drew a bead on him, remembered what atticus had said, then dropped my fists and
Someone once said: There are many people who know you, but there are very few who understand you. For children part of maturing is understanding that their parents are not just guardians but also people. They are each unique and have their own special qualities. In Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, an underlying theme is how Scout began to see her Atticus for who he is and the events that prompted her realization.
Jem slowly matures in the story. He becomes accustomed to social classes and gender roles. This is shown when he tells Scout to act more like a lady. Jem shows his maturity when he tells Atticus
What does it take to move you from being someone who you read about in a book to the next book written about you? When you look at some of the most influential people to ever live such as Martin Luther King Jr. or Smith Wigglesworth, it's not about possessing more skill or talent, rather a leap of faith into the unknown. As Christians, we know how to dream. We read the books and heard the testimonies of healings and revival, but we yet to see these things for ourselves. Through taking risk and stepping out, we learn we are able to run past the walls we set for ourselves and learn fear is only a tool to keep us contained behind those walls.
Children are often different from their oarents, whether that difference is good or bad, which makes it necessary to look at Jem and Scout to see if Finch is a good father. It is easy to see that the children are quick to follow their fathers example, making Atticus the greatest father in literature. For anyone who has read the book, it is easy to see that Scout loves fighting, but she fights less and less as the book progresses, because Atticus has asked her to. A quote from her says "somehow, if I fought Cecil, I would let Atticus down. He rarely asked me to do something, I could take being called a coward for him". This quote is so important for scout's character development. Up to this point, scout beloved that his father was useless because he could not do anything, but scout is now deciding to be called a coward to be more similar to her father. Second is the evolution of Jem. He starts as an up to no good kid, who spends all his life playing football, Annoying the Radleys, and speaking down on Scout, but as the book progresses, Jem turns more and more into a gentleman, similar to his father. He protects scout and gives her advice when she is angry, and he goes everywhere with his father to be a helping hand. Scout even says that Jem is turning more and more into Finch everyday. She sad that she does not like it because she feels that she does not have anyone to play with. It is not t just Jem and Scout's mannerism that suggest Finch was a great father, it is also their level of education and understanding of the world. Both Scout and Jem have learned to read from a very young age. Jem even says that Scout knew how to read since she was born to emphasize how long she had been able to read. Both scout and Jem have a great understanding of the world around them. They have been expoised to racism, sexism, and rape, but unlike many others, they have not suffered from this. They know enough to
Originated from Bassano del Grappa, more than 1600 years ago, the famous Italian drink Grappa becomes more and more famous all around the world. Not till 1960s, grappa transformed from a cheap provincial Italian drink into a World Wide known drink.
But hearing words can change our outlook, but also can affect staying with our genuine values. However, words are integral to society. In the novel, To Kill a Mockingbird Scout was just a little girl trying to enjoy life with her curious little mind. Scout had been surrounded by wretched people, which the negativity from the people of her town, Maycomb; had impacted her life. Scout looked up to the authority that was above her, even her older brother Jem. Meanwhile, Scout’s father, Atticus, lead her to be harmed by society, Atticus was always busy with his work rather than spending time with his daughter Scout. Scout says, “He sat in the living room and read.” (pg.118) All her father would do was read & work. When her father got a court case for a colored man named Tom Roberision, everyone around their town of Maycomb were gossiping about Scout’s father, Atticus. Scout had said, “ The school had buzzed with talk about Tom Robinson, none of which was complimentary.” (Ch.10.pg.119) People had their own negative commentary on her father's case, which lead her to fight because of the words that were said. Although she was just a little girl, she did not know what was right from wrong, Scout had looked up to her brother Jem for guidance. Which lead her individuality to becoming a tomboy. Moreover Scout’s Aunt Alexandra had put pressure on Scout wanting her to act more like a young
Scout is maturing but not fully matured yet, she takes precautions but does not realize the danger of handling a possibly poisoned item. Scout has found a piece of gum in the tree by Mr. Radley’s house. She does not know who has put it there or what they have done to it: “My first impulse was to get it into my mouth as quickly as possible, but I remembered where I was. I ran home, and on our front porch I examined my loot. The gum looked fresh. I sniffed it and it smelled all right. I licked it and waited for awhile. When I did not die, I crammed it into my mouth”(44). This shows how Scout is maturing, but still has a ways to go. It shows how she is maturing by the way she closely examines the gum. She takes it home and smells it to make sure it is okay to eat. If she was fully matured, she would have never touched the gum in the first place, she would know the dangers of eating things she finds. Scout is coming to a realization that Atticus is more than he appears. Scout thinks that Atticus has been trying to beat Jem and her in chess, but in reality, he was never trying. “‘Atticus Finch could beat everybody on both sides of the river.’ ‘Good lord, Miss Maudie, Jem and me beat him all the time.’ ‘It’s because he let you…’ This modest accomplishment served to make me even more ashamed of him”(120). Scout is coming to a realization that Atticus is more than he
To be honest, I could not see how this play could have an impact on society in the sense of portraying the aftermath of World War II specifically with the rebuilding of France. However, as any liberal arts students would do, we research and it amazes me all of the symbols that were in this play. What I found was that Waiting for Godot is part of the absurdist theatre, which is when a writer creates a script that shows a “meaningless” world that is overshadowing the people who are lost and confused of what to make of their lives/future. By using this type of writing style, this allowed for the play to represent the current situation of the world after World War II. Basically, after the war, no one really knew what to make of themselves and their
