Main Points of Barry Hines' "Kes" In this essay, I intend to discuss three main points highlighted in Barry Hines’ play, ‘Kes’. The main theme that I will explore is how Barry Hines viewed teachers in the 1970’s (when the book was first written). Kes brought up the question of whether corporal punishment worked or not. I aim to conclude to whether or not corporal punishment worked. Another aspect of the education system in the 1970’s that I will explore is if pupils from poorer backgrounds

A Kestrel for a Knave by Barry Hines For this assignment, I shall be looking at Barry Hines’ novel ‘A Kestrel for a Knave’. The story focuses on a day in the life of Billy Casper, a fifteen-year-old schoolboy growing up in an environment lacking in many ways. In this assignment I am to look at examples of deprivation in the various areas of Billy Casper’s life. Barry Hines writes about a young boy growing up in the 1960’s.

‘Raam ke Naam’ is a documentary film made by Anand Patwardhan in the year 1991, a year before the demolition of the Babri Masjid. The film follows the journey of L.K Advani’s Rath Yatra, which led to the destruction of the 16th century mosque. The stage of the film is set at the destruction of a mosque in Ayodhya to build a temple in its place claiming it to be Ram’s birthplace, Ramjanamabhumi. However, along with the main issue, the film traces seeds of communalism, politicization of religion and
The poem Crime Club explores the limitations of reason and logic when confronted with senseless violence and chaos. This theme is closely connected to real-world societal issues, as the poem's skepticism about the ability of detective work to uncover the truth speaks to broader philosophical and practical questions about the nature of justice, the role of law enforcement, and the inherent unpredictability and irrationality of human behavior. The poem Crime Club by Weldon Kees presents challenges
Similarities And Differences Between Billy Elliot And Kes In this essay I am comparing the two films Kes, made in 1969 and set in the 1960's and Billy Elliot, made in 2000 and set in the 1970's. Both of which have the same location, Northern England and both have a strong relation to a working class environment where coal mining was the main source of employment. The films are similar in terms of community, family, and the characterisation of Billy, the central character in both films. The

In “The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven”, Sherman Alexie presents a short story collection that centers on the Indian reservation. As Coulombe (94) depicts, most of Alexie's short stories in the collection frequently relate to scenes in the other stories, and this makes the collection seem like a novel. In a bid to analyze the works of the author the paper is going to focus on one of the stories in the collection, which is “The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fist Fight in Heaven”. The story has
Miranda Ciraolo Prof. McGeachy The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven The Narrator’s Negativity In The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven by Sherman Alexie, the narrator is a young Native American man with a very negative outlook on the world. Although his name is never mentioned, likely to show how unimportant he feels, the narrator indirectly shares quite a bit about his personality. He has a strong negativity towards himself and the world for multiple reasons. People close to
Searching For Oneself Not all wounds heal- some cut deeper than just what you see on the surface. Whether in fiction or real life, this remains strikingly accurate. Sherman Alexie’s novel, The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven showcases a consistent theme of inner struggle while on a constant search to find one's identity and purpose. The presence of this theme prevails in each accompanied chapter and remains a strong force in guiding each character on their own personal journey. Tradition
Humor is an effective way to grab the audience’s attention when speaking and it is a major tool when trying to engage a reader in a piece of writing. In a series of short stories composed by Sherman Alexie, Humor is a primary tool used in a majority of his pieces. According to Coulombe, In The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven, Sherman Alexie produces humor through his characters in order to allow them to “display strengths and hide weaknesses, to expose prejudice and avoid realities, and
Analysis of Sherman Alexie's 'The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven' and 'Smoke Signals' Sherman Alexie based on some short stories included in his book, 'The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven,' wrote the screenplay for the movie 'Smoke Signals.' Both the movie and the book portray problems that Indians had to deal with, and how they dealt with it. The book is far more complex than the movie, showing a wider variation of characters facing different situations. In the movie
Distinct manifestations of narrow-mindedness give rise to conflict in Raymond Carver’s “Cathedral” and in Sherman Alexie’s “The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven.” In the former, conflict arises because the narrator is blinded by his own limited understanding of the world. He struggles to reconcile his ill-informed assumptions with the reality that he finds himself experiencing, but ultimately finds hope and resolution. In the latter, constraints imposed by racial stereotypes leave the narrator

In this letter, I aim to convince you that The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven is an essential book for high school students to read. As you may know, this book is often debated to be suitable or unsuitable for usage in the classroom due to its common usage of profanity, and lack of complex words. However, the writer’s skillful depictions of relationships between people throughout the book is a great source of information for young writers on how to depict relationships in realistic terms

distance (or sd.) of an object is how far it travels before stopping. As an object moves forwards, it has kinetic energy (KE) pushing it. However, as it moves, it also creates friction. This changes the KE (kinetic energy) of the moving object into heat energy. This means that there is less KE and more friction. The forces become unbalanced as more and more of the KE is transformed into heat energy. The force pushing the object forwards is then less than the force pushing it back, so the

"How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?" An age old tongue twister that has never been answered. In this rhyme, the common assumption is that the woodchuck is a small furry groundhog like creature, but there is another kind of wood chuck that is not as common but could chuck wood. Here we will explore this path of answering this age old riddle. In the production of many wood products a common manufacturing tool known as a lathe is used, and to hold the wood in
