This demonstrates Sal was more observant and reasonable custom behavior in the story. For instance, her father relationship with Margaret Cadaver was unpleasant for her. Because, Sal thinks her father was leaving her mom and in love with her but later she knows the truth. He closes Mrs. Cadaver in order to get information about Sal mother, and because she was the last to see sugar alike.

I drove slowly, and I knew how doing it, I prayed to every tree, and there were a thumping lot of trees along the way” (Creech260). Throughout the story, Sal was more confident. Unlike her age, she was a more determinant girl, and has a broad mind as well.For instance, after grandpa was in the hospital with her grandma, Sal was pulled out his car key but she did not know where to go, because there was no map direction. Finally, in the car she studied the map and leaned back in the seat, and closed her eyes. She started driving through the mountain hill.

Good morning/ Afternoon Teacher I am Rachel Perkins And I was asked by The Australian Film Institute to be here to today to talk about my musical. My musical One Night The Moon which was the winner of the Australian Film Institute Award for Best Cinematography in a Non-Feature Film in 2001. I am also here to talk about how distinctive voices are used to show the experiences of others. The voices of Albert and Jim are two characters that give us two different perspectives this is due to their views. Albert one of the characters in my film is an Aboriginal character played by Kenton Pell who is hired by the police as a tracker. Albert is a very deeply spiritual person this gave him a spiritual voice throughout the play but when he get 's kick off the land and banned from the search the gets frustrated which gave him this really emotional voice. This event has a greater meaning which I will elaborate on later and now Onto Jim. Jim is your 1930s white Australian that owns a farm and is going through tough times because of the Great depression. Jim does not allow Albert to find his daughter, This is due to his racist and prejudiced views of black Australians. Jim has an authorial voice because he see’s himself as inferior. Near to the end of
When her mother left, Sal had no reflection. She was forced to start experiencing her feelings independently. Sometimes to start feeling better, one needs to leave what is familiar to them. The journey she took healed this numbness she felt. Furthermore, her identity and feelings were given context through Phoebe’s story and shaped by her own reflections of the past.
Chapter Three: Symbolism: Why are the notes so important? I think that one of the most obvious symbols in this story is the notes Ms. Partridge sent to Phoebe and her family. These notes seemed to line up with problems in the story, throughout the whole story. “Don’t judge a man until you’ve walked two moons in his moccasins.” (Walk Two Moons, 61).
Have you had a time in your life, where everything just seemed to be going wrong, and life was hard. Then all of the sudden you actually have a good day. You made it through when times were bad. In the novels Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson, and Shooting the Moon by Frances O’roark Dowell the theme getting through the hard times so you can see the good ones, is shown by Jacqueline and her family not being treated fairly, Jacqueline leaving her home, and Jamie's brother going to war.
Phoebe tries to help Holden by asking him to name one thing he likes. However, when Holden mentions Allie, Phoebe tries to be his wake up call and remind him that Allie is dead (Salinger 171). This part in the novel shows how Holden is still attached to Allie, and will not forget about him. However, Phoebe tries to remind Holden that Allie is dead, attempting to make Holden let go of what happened in the past. Phoebe attempts to get Holden’s mind off of his removal from his school by asking him what he wants to become in the future (Salinger 172). This is when Phoebe’s words of advice and support start effecting Holden. Holden begins to think about his options, and what he truly wants to do in the future. “Why can’t I? Please, Holden! I won’t do anything-I’ll just go with you, that’s all! I won’t even take my clothes with me if you don’t want me to-I’ll just take my-” (Salinger 206). This quotation shows how supportive and encouraging Phoebe is towards Holden. When Holden tells Phoebe that he is leaving, Phoebe’s reaction is very affectionate. Phoebe brings a suitcase filled with her clothes, and begins to beg Holden to let her follow him. Phoebe’s encouraging words of advice, is another source of familial love for Holden to move on, and look forward towards his
Holden has several insecurities that are displayed throughout the book that hint at his condition. The protagonist’s insecurities are demonstrated in his judgment of others. He criticizes adults on their flaws as he thinks he is the only rational adult in the world, describing all adults as superficial and more importantly “phony.” Holden once referred to his headmaster as a phony when he was talking about his daughter Selma, “She probably knew what a phony slob he was.” (p. 3) Phoebe, Holden’s sister points out, that he does not only hate adults, he hates everything. Holden cannot name one thing he enjoys to satisfy his sister, indicating that he is dissatisfied with his life. Phoebe notes, “You don’t like anything that’s happening.” (p. 169) As Holden attempts to prove her wrong, she realizes something, “You can’t even name one thing.” (p. 171) Holden’s insecurities are a shining example of his mental condition.

Rachel Perkins hybrid musical drama One Night the Moon set in the 1930’s Australian outback and Malala Yousafzai’s ‘speech to the UN’ in 2013 were composed to raise awareness and reveal truths of multiple perspectives, representing the voice of the unheard and disempowered in juxtaposition to the dominant and powerful.

Though the novel is not told from Frado’s perspective, her story becomes more sympathizing and sentimental from a third person narrative. Wilson uses her supporting characters to express Frado’s emotions and to show her development. Through her style, the reader becomes more aware of the Belmont family and society’s prejudices through how they react to Frado’s suffering. For instance Aunt Abby, one of the more sympathizing characters, says “we found a seat under a shady tree, and there I took the opportunity to combat the notions she seemed to entertain respecting the loneliness of her condition and want of sympathizing friends” (54). While Aunt Abby makes an effort to console Frado, there is no real sympathy in her words. They are mechanical and rehearsed. Aunt Abby does not genuinely care for Frado but she does pity her situation.
