Hannah the main character, Hannah starts off at a dinner with her family which she thinks is very boring where Hannah who thinks she drank too much wine believing that she is daydreaming. Whilst in her mind as she was "daydreaming" Hannah had came into the kitchen to new surroundings very confused she was greeted by a girl named Eva who had greeted her by the name of Chaya. (Chaya meaning life). Hannah soon hears from Eva that it is the year 1942 and that both her parents were very ill and passed away being left for her Aunt Gitl and Uncle Shmuel to take care of her. Hannah learns that she is no longer in her home town. Hannah with Eva go to a wedding with all the family where half way through the wedding nazis come.

In the first place, she was developed to be secretive because of her loneliness, but befriending Jacob, Norman, and Paul makes her more social, which showed that life is better with sociability. This portion of the novel helped state that, "She looked surprised as though she couldn't believe she had talked so much " ( from page 131). Hannah is generally secretive and lonely, for she lost her family and was made as an example for her lost ears, but when she found out that Jacob was caring and friendly, she decided to trust him and answer his questions. Afterward, she was surprised and stopped, as if waking up from a dream but did not regret it totally. What we should discern from that, Finding a caring friend could change the reality. Moreover, their friendship then developed, and they got to be a family. In the second place, Hannah was unpredictable but did not point to it directly, yet exposed it for her friends, she did all she could. That was stated indirectly in the section on page 161, " She looked at the faces around her – Jacob, Oteka, Paul – and it was as though she began to draw strength from their courage emanating from them and enveloping her. " What Hannah only needed to reveal her real personality and impulsiveness was some courage from her friends, that she loved and cared for, which she read in their eyes. So, McKay delivered " friendship is strong " by making Hannah impulsive. If she was designed to be calm or shy, Norman would not have made it, or even Jacob, sacrificing it to save his friend. Hannah was described in that figure to enhance the idea of friendship's power in
The most important main characters in my opinion would be Jack, Ellen, Cameron, and most importantly Anna. Jack is Anna’s older brother, who had been dating Cameron for a few months until the accident. Ellen is Anna’s best friend who was in the accident with her. Cameron was coming towards Anna and Ellen on the opposite side of the road. Cameron tried to dodge a tree branch that was lying in the middle of the road. In the process of doing that, she hit Anna and Ellen head on. Ellen was completely passed out, and all Anna heard was screams, getting softer until they just quit. The screams were Cameron until she died. Anna is definitely the ultimate main character in my eyes. This book went on to explain how Anna went on with her life, knowing she technically killed someone. Anna had a rough time between night sweats, night terrors, and the screams in her head repeating. That is when Ellen’s and Anna’s parents agreed it was time to take a getaway trip to the
That same night, I walked by Hannah’s cell and I saw her staring down at a newspaper clip out of a young teenager shaking hands with another man. I recognized that the boy was the man who visited today. Could he be Hannah’s son? If he is, then why hadn’t he visit her all this time? Hannah brushed her fingers across the books on her shelf, and took out a sheet of paper and started writing in it. This time, her eyes turned grey and they were empty, but free.
There are two main characters, Clay and Hannah. Clay Jensen is the main narrator, as he is the one who is listening to Hannah in the tapes. He is a high school freshman who is very curious, but shy about it. He has a very spotless reputation until Hannah comes along. Hannah Baker is a secondary narrator as she is the voice in the tapes, which sounds like she is longing for companionship. For example, she says the following during her tapes: “For the longest time, from almost day one at school, it seemed that I was the only one who cared about me (p. 144).” She commits suicide by overdosing on pills, but leaves maps and reasons to why she committed suicide to the people who led her there. When she was alive, she was misunderstood as people called her many names. Some would say she is a bit manipulative because of the way that Clay at times undermines her side of some
Hemmingway wrote this story in a unique fashion. The book is written with no apparent plot, that is, there are not twists, intrigue, or goals for the characters. The plot is simply the story itself. That is what Hemmingway wanted, he wanted the reader to read this story and recognize the loses and struggles the characters encounter through experiences they had.

A Clockwork Orange, by Anthony Burgess, is one of the most experimental, original, and controversial novels of the twentieth century. It is both a compelling work of literature and an in-depth study in linguistics. The novel is a satirical, frightening science fiction piece, not unlike others of this century such as George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four or Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. However, the conflicts and resolutions in A Clockwork Orange are more philosophical than social, and its message is far more urgent.
Stanley Kubrick's 1971 film production of the Anthony Burgess novel, A Clockwork Orange, is a truly unforgettable film. It is narrated by one of the most vicious characters ever put on screen, Alex DeLarge. The promotional poster for the film advertised it as "The adventures of a young man whose principle interests are rape, ultra-violence, and Beethoven" (Dirks 1). Needless to say, music plays a very important role in A Clockwork Orange. The expressive use of music in this film gives the viewer a look into the psyche of the vicious Alex, a psyche that equates violence with art. By doing so, the film shows us the complexity and duality of the human mind through a character who loves both the most refined art and the most brutal violence.
The overwhelming majority of one’s actions are controlled by their own subconscious, these actions are controlled by thoughts and beliefs passed down from the moment of birth. Although the entity that controls these desires lies behind what we can consciously perceive, it is by far the greatest factor that controls our decision making process, particularly in sex instinct and aggression. It is not until later that any entity develops to suppress these actions, and if not properly developed, an individual may become harmful to their own society. Such is the case with Alex DeLarge, a character in the British novel A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess. Alex’s circumstance and mentality can be explained
One of my favorite parts was once Hannah was home from the road trip her adoptive mother sat down with her and told her that she was once carrying twins also, but she lost them. Her mother told Hannah about a church that she would always go to and Hannah ended up going, the priest words really drew me in. He said that the church has a letter from Paul the Apostle and the letter read: “because we have been forgiven by God we should forgive each other. In Christ you are forgiven and because you are forgiven you have the power to forgive and to choose to forgive, let it go. Hatred is a burden you no longer need to carry only in forgiveness you can be free, forgiveness you cannot find in a trip or in a church but if the sun can set you free, you will be free indeed. Jonathan wants you to live your life, live it to the full.” This really gave me a new way of thinking. In another part of the movie Hannah’s dad taker her to her brothers grave and there he says “The doctor said that there was not much brain activity, but I saw him smile we truly believe god would heal him. But when I looked at you I never thought something so small could overpower me.” It is dialect from those two people that made me think about the way people see God and the way that they think he can help them. The way I grew up I wasn’t taught about religion. I know that God exists but I had no clue what he was/is capable of. At the end of the movie it shows Hannah’s birth mother walking into her office and holding a note and a hospital bracelet, the note says, “I forgive
The definition of plot is “The main events of a play, movie, novel, or similar work devised and presented by the writer as an interrelated sequence.” So the main events of the story are the demands made from Lord Higa, and the events to solve them. For example, one of the tasks given to the young lord was to bring him a drum that beat, without being beaten. “Bring me a drum that sounds without being beaten.” When the young farmer ran home to his mother and told her this impossible demand she had said, “Why, this is the easiest of them all.” Eventually when the young farmer had told his lord of his crimes, the lord was happy to hear it. “But when he glanced fearfully at the lord, he saw that the young ruler was not mad at all.” Because of Lord Higa’s demands the young lord was capable of realizing that the elderly have more to bring to their community, and that they aren’t useless after all. The examples given were all examples of how the plot of a story can expose its theme.
The grace of evil in A Clockwork Orange is a recurring paradox throughout the novel and also implies a deep religious connotation. The main foci are the several aspects of evil, violence, and sexual acts committed by Alex and his gang members. However, Anthony Burgess has cleverly incorporated similar paradoxes to that of grace and evil, along with a different dialect to aid in masking the true harshness that lies underneath the violence. The other paradoxes include the extremes of night and day, good and bad, and black and white.
