In both the book and movie, Cassie is thrown out of the Barnett’s store until she “figures out what she is”. She doesn’t understand that Mr. Barnett isn’t going to keep the whites waiting. Right after that, Cassie bumps into Lillian Jean and is forced to apologize. She starts being Lillian Jean’s servant and eventually beats her up, which they don't show in the movie. Also, R.W. and Melvin pretend to be T.J.’s friend.
She meets her savior, Evan Walker, who tells her they are in his rural country house, and he'd found her on the highway, crawling in blood. Cassie insists that she must go to Camp Haven to save her brother, but Evan is unsure that she is fit enough for the journey yet, and so they stay. Over time, the two grow closer. One night, Cassie and Evan get into a fight, but Evan ends it by saying that Cassie saved him, rather than vice versa, and kisses her. Sammy Sullivan, Cassie's brother, has arrived at Camp Haven via the bus on which he was taken.
She learned most importantly where she, and African American people, belonged in the world at that time. On page 84 it states, “‘Y-you was helping us,’I said, backing to the front of the counter again.’Well, you just get your little black self over there and wait some more,’he said in a low, tight voice.” That quote showed how she was getting the lowest treatment out of everyone because she was African American. If I was being treated like that, I would act the way she acted too. On page 85 “But I betcha you don’t know what you are!” said Cassie yelling to
The book moves back to Cassie, who is talking to Evan, broken up over the fact that her brother Sammy has forgotten his ABC's and his own mother's face. This is especially bad because these traits are all that's left of humanity. Evan responds by telling her that he has also forgotten what it means to be compassionate, ending the discussion when he tells her that he has also forgotten his ABC's.Cassie is walking back to the house when she runs into Ben. He explains that he's going after
Cassie has lost her mother, but has found someone potentially able to help her find her mother. Agent Locke has lost the person she trusted the most, but has found something to replace her hurt of abandonment. Michael lost to Lia’s goading, but he found a way to get even. Throughout the book, Barnes subtly explored the contrast between lost and found, giving her story a smooth flow from the beginning to the resolution. Making a point that everyone has lost something, she seems to support that everyone has found a replacement of sorts as well. Cassie experiences several losses throughout The Naturals, but Barnes’ ability to provide a satisfying and strong conclusion brings Cassie’s first months of being a Natural to a
The evidence from the text shows that Cassie was very mad at who heart Papa.When Papa was making a recovery from what happened at Vicksburg they were talking about what happened.Then Cassie overheated and said¨I blurted angirly, already plotting revenge against who ever had dare to hurt Papa.213
She had help from Mama and kept asking her mother to help her and her brothers understand why blacks were being treated in this manner. The book takes place nine years before the start of World War ll. Throughout the rest of the book she started to understand why people didn't treat them right even though blacks were free. She realizes this when she was in the middle of the market place with Mama and bumped into Lillian Jean and was being screamed at by everyone to apologize and when she finally did apologize she asked Mama on the way home why she was being screamed at by the white people to apologize, mama told cassie that it was because the whites didn’t see blacks as actual people. (CItation) Why are you telling me this? What does it have to do with your
Before Cassie Bernall became a Christian, she was an outsider at school. Cassie had written letters to a friend about how she could kill her parents, Brad and Misty Bernall, and end all of her problems. Cassie's parents found the letters, made copies of them, and gave them to the police department. When Cassie got home from school, her parents confronted her. After the confrontation, the Bernall's broke all of Cassie's ties with her friends. The Bernall's enrolled Cassie in a Christian school. Cassie was not allowed to answer the phone and no longer had any privileges. She was allowed to go to a youth group, but that was all she could do. Her parents even went as far to put a monitor on their phone so they could know what she was doing when they weren't home. Cassie had lost all of the trust that she earned from her parents. Misty Bernall didn't go back to work so that she could watch over Cassie. Cassie had her backpack searched, her phone calls monitored, and her bedroom searched. Furtively investigating their daughter, they say,
The further ‘off the rails’ Cassie goes, the more extreme the sexual situations, at one point ‘courting’ a female and then a few minutes after the female leaves a male arrives. “Sexuality strongly influences people’s identity.” (Op. cit. p.22) And at this point in the series we find that Cassie has a very mixed up idea about who she is and what she wants.
An additional theme heavily shown throughout the book is “people are defined by the choices they make”. Ben left his little sister, Sissy, to die, even though he could have made an effort to save her; because he left her, he now vows not to run from danger or those things which scare him. Furthermore, Cassie promises Sammy that she will find him and, because she makes that promise, she will stop at nothing to be with him again.
Near the end of the book Cassie bumps into Jeremy Simms sister and her dad comes and pushes Cassie off the sidewalk.“It was then that I bumped into Lillian Jean Simms… Mr. Simms glared down at me “When my gal Lillian Jean says for you to get yo’self off the sidewalk, you get, your hear.” This shows her losing innocence because she now sees how terrible white people are to push a 9 year old girl off the sidewalk because someone bumped into her. Lillian and her dad are very racist so now she knows not to mess with her and not to talk back.
In Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily”, there is a constant theme of protection for Emily Grierson, because she was a woman living in the south after the civil war and the requirements that were placed on women enable to be honorable. That is to say that, women needed to be protected by the men of the community during that time in history and women’s actions were constantly under watch to see if a woman was honorable and worthy of protection or not. Within the story, there are many instances in which this is shown. Faulkner also shows the reader a gender split between the men and women and how they felt towards Emily.
