Confession of the Jews and First Confession
In comparing the books "Confession of the Jews" and "First Confession",
I have found there to be similarities and differences. For example, "First
Confession" deals with a boy converting from a boy to a young man by going to
confession and telling his sins for the first time. "Conversion of the Jews"
deals with converting a boy into someone he has never really seen which was a
free thinker which only older people usually do.
In "Conversion of the Jews" Ozzie, who was the main character, had a
problem with getting along with the priest Rabbi Binder at Hebrew School. Rabbi
Binder didn't really like Ozzie because he was always asking a lot of questions
and Rabbi Binder was always getting angry at him. In "First Confession" Jackie,
the main character, also had a problem. Jackies problem was similar to Ozzies,
but also different. Jackie had a problem with his sister Nora. Nora believed
that Jackie was always lying and being bad. On his confession day his mother
sent Nora go with Jackie. Nora ordered Jackie to tell all of his sins, including
how he was mean to the grandmother who lived with them.
Ozzie seemed troubled to Rabbi Binder in "Conversion of the Jews". In
reality Jackie wasn't bad at all, he was just a boy who wanted answers to his
questions. And that was proved when Ozzie asked a question in class and Rabbi
Binder went crazy and hit Ozzie because he thought Ozzie was trying to be a wise
guy. So Ozzie tried to prove a point to Rabbi Binder and his fellow classmates
by running to the roof and making believe he was going to jump. With Ozzie
being on the roof it gave Rabbi Binder a bigger belief that Ozzie was crazy and
troubled. Ozzie wasn't really crazy, he was just trying to make a point that he
really wasn't dumb. Ozzie just wanted to believe that there was really a Christ.
So with the point that Ozzie was trying to make helped to convert everyone and
their beliefs.
Jackie, like Ozzie, was also troubled in "First Confession". He was a
young boy who lived with his family, including the grandmother. Jackie believed
the grandmother didn't like him very much, so he did mean things to her like
hide under the table when she cooked dinner. When it came time for his first
confession he went with his sister Nora. Nora tormented Jackie and scared him
into believing he was a sinner and he will pay for all of his sins.
Within the novel, Emma has seen a naïve young girl but often appears as the most masculine figure of the entire book. All the women in this novel are more masculine figures than their male counterparts. Mr. Knightley attributes Emma masculinity by commenting on the fact that she has commanded the household since she was twelve. Knightley also attributes Emma masculinity by stating she can “supply her visitors in a much more satisfactory style [than that of her own father].” (Austen, 1961) Emma holds her stance with the ideals of a true man through her rejection of many of the eligible bachelors. Emma wants to marry and find love, but she did not want to confine herself to the dainty role of an Elizabethan housewife. During this era, Emma ultimately must surrender to this role and marry. Emma tries to adapt to this new role through her painting. But she found herself getting frustrated and abandoning her work without finishing it. Emma is wanting to break what people now call the ideology called separate
...express all the ideology of modern day feminism. Unfortunately, neither of these scenarios is faithful to the scenario of an unconventional Victorian woman as portrayed by a Victorian female author. This is not to say that the filmed versions of Emma are not entertaining or without merit in their own right. rather, it is to suggest that instead of faithfully recreating Austen's work, the filmmakers felt it necessary to add their own personal interpretations of the work, modern interpretations that serve to undermine Austen's text. Like the tightly controlled, oppressive environment of Victorian England, Austen's Emma is best understood from within the confines the ideology of that elitist microcosm, not through the lens of modern interpreters who try to impose their own values on it.
Jackie Robinson has made one of the biggest impacts on the game of baseball to date. Jackie was born in Cairo, Georgia on January 31, 1919. He was born to Mallie and Jerry Robinson and was the fifth child and the fourth son. Jackie’s father ran out on his family in hopes of a better life when Jackie was only one years old. After his father left, they moved to an all white suburb. At that time most neighborhoods were segregated, so his neighbors made a petition to relocate his family which fortunately did not work. Jackie was raised by a single mother and in poverty. When Jackie was about fourteen years old, he was part of a street gang. One of the people on his street told him that if he would keep hanging out with the gang he would disappoint his mother (Scott 31). In my opinion those words saved
At the end of the book Lennie killed curlys wife and George killed him but did he have a valid reason to kill him. George killed Lennie out of friendship if George hadn’t killed him then the others especially curly would have tortured him or killed him much slowly and painfully. George did a mercy killing by shooting Lennie in the head so that his death was quick, sudden and painless a much better death than torture.
Jackie was the youngest of five children. Times got tougher when Jackie’s father walked out on his family. Jackie’s mother, Mallie, had to care for all five children and run the farm by herself. Mallie didn’t want her children growing up as feeling unequal, so she made the decision to move to California. Jackie was only sixteen months old when his family made the weeklong trip to California.
Throughout the Iliad Achilles operates like a spiteful child empowered with the body and strength of a man. He is stubborn and unreasonable, sullen and resentful when he cannot have his way, and, much like a playground bully, he uses his unusual strength to intimidate anyone who might challenge him. When in book one Achilles loses a battle of wills with Agamemnon and cannot retaliate, he retreats in frustration and self-pity; before long, he is throwing a tantrum. "Mother!" he cries, "You gave me life, . . . so at least Olympian Zeus, thundering up on high, should give me honor--but now he gives me nothing" (I, 416-419).
Brazil is a country that was discovered in 1500, which ended up being claimed by the Portuguese navigator known as Pedro Alvares Cabral. It was also rule from Lisbon as a colony until 1808.

...les obtains the flaws of a Tragic Hero with his anger and pride issues. The fact that he won’t fight for Agamemnon because he stole his woman shows that his pride was hurt and when Achilles fights in a pure wrath upon hearing about Patroclus’s fate shows his flaw of anger. The transition from having to overcome his hurt pride after hearing about Patroclus’s death reveals his adaptability as a character with his change in behavior from being passive at the Achaean ships to violent in war. Lastly, Achilles solidifies his position as a Tragic Hero when he finds his moment of clarity with King Priam as he gives the body of the fallen Hector back in an act to finalize and end all conflicts Achilles and Troy. Achilles undoubtably symbolizes Aristotle’s definition of the Tragic Hero.
He is a very poor man. So he tells his young daughter, Tess, to go find job at their “family’s” town, but Tess’s mother never warned her about how mean man can be.
The first requirement of Aristotle's tragic hero is that they are more admirable than the average character. Achilles meets this requirement because of his ability on the battlefield. In The Iliad, the background to the story is the war between the Greeks and the Trojans. This background is not only the basis for the story overall, but is also the basis for Achilles' own story. This begins when Achilles refuses to join the battle because he is insulted by Agamemnon. This decision results in the action that drives the remainder of the story. Later in the story when Achilles becomes angered and goes to the other extreme, launching into battle and killing ferociously. The significance of this is that it places battle as central to both Achilles' story and to what is important in the setting of the story. Importantly, the aspect that makes Achilles greater than most is his ability o...
