Charlie Gordon Monologue

In mid-sentence the creature Springs back to life and runs into the field. It knocks over John and John lays on the ground. Jon - “I thought it was dead.”

John White took two, long, slow deep breaths of the crisp sea air. Three years had gone by painstakingly slow. Now John could feel the sensation of his erratic pulse in every part of his body. Finally he would see his family again! The ship was nearly to shore, only a few minutes of walking separated John from his family. Five more row strokes, four, three two- “Shore reached”, shouts the watchman from his post. Unable to contain his excitement any longer, after all he did manage to wait the full 2 week journey from England to the New World, John sprinted off the boat as soon as the anchors were dropped along with the walkway. He was filled with pure joy in knowing that his three years of agonizing waiting were over and he really was going to she his family. John was running and running and running, not caring how ungentlemanly he appeared for he was almost to the settlement. The clearing in the woods approached, the settlement would soon be visible and his precious family………………. What? Where was it? He was sure the settlement was supposed to be in this clearing, he practically designed the structure himself. There was nothing. It was all gone. Except for…… wait……. was that a skull? John picked up the strange object, which was indeed a skull when he spotted the roughly cut piece of lumber next to it reading “Croatoan”

Many poems have concepts that can be hard to grasp due to complex metaphors, figurative language, and forms of diction. Lewis Carroll takes this struggle of comprehension to an entire new level in The Jabberwocky. Although a simple story of a boy slaying a foul creature, it is formatted in a way that traps the reader inside of the nonsensical imagination of Carroll. It does not take close inspection to realize that the word choices throughout are a bit unorthodox. It does, however, take an out-of-the-box mindset to fully appreciate the imagery at work in this poem. It is proven in The Jabberwocky that words do not have to be proper in meaning or pre-existent to portray ideas.

The beginning I lived in a little town in texas only having 250 residence and i was one of them just at the beginning my adulthood and I finished school just 3 years back. I had life going great until that night when I died and it was all caused by my rival “Willy Morgan” when he came to my house looking for a fight and i gave it to him it was a fist fight it was the brawl of the century until Willy took out a knife when i saw the knife I quickly grabbed a glass bottle and whacked him right on the cheekbone causing a deep cut on his cheek, blood dripped on the floor boards he was furious he stabbed me once in the heart and it was over. Now that i’m a ghost I’ve dedicate my whole life to haunt Willy Morgan and that’s just what i’m going to do

While the bedroom is a hermetic enclosure that never invites the social element into it, it reserves a strange voyeuristic entrance for John by way of an erotic system of locks. Recall the barred windows in the bedroom and the gate at the head of the stairs. The narrator writes,

In the poem “JEKYLL” the creature, is similar i to the speakers in regards to feelings and themes. When JEKYLL says “ What streak of madness lies inside me?/ What is the truth my fears conceal? / What evil force makes Edward Hyde of me?” the book itself has something similar to it when the creature learns to read and it trying to read the letters he says” I’m sure you remember these papers.

“I was unnerved by the thought that any moment she would realize she was undressed and would scream and dash for the bedroom.” (Keyes 174). The protagonist Charlie Gordon, a mentally challenged 32 year old virgin who has an operation done to become smart, not only did he become smart he became a genius. The main character goes through many changes not just mentally and physically, but also sexually.

These words create a light mood and make it seem that the killing of the Jabberwock is a made-up game between the son and parent. “The Red Wheelbarrow”- Speaker: Not identifiable but wise,

Charlie had had his chance to tell his story. There was an appetite for that kind of story, but he couldn't tell, couldn't talk. He felt tempted, especially when the drink kicked in. Liquid courage, as the alcohol flowed through his brain like a river through a forest.

On her way home from the night-shift, Mary Watson found a coin on the sidewalk. She smiled as she picked it up and put it in her pocket, getting the feeling of being a coin richer. She started walking again, didn´t want to be home to late. Suddenliy she saw a dog running towards her, but it slowed down when it got closer. It stopped and stared, and it looked as if it smiled at her. ”Hi” she heard, as if she was thinking it herself, but it wasn´t her voice. She looked around, trying to find the person who had talked to her. ”No, it´s me, down here!” She looked at the dog. ”Can you talk?” she asked, and it looked as if the dog nodded, still smiling. ”But you´re the only one who can hear me. You´ve got the coin.” She started to think she was going

The movie opens with Charlie doing a voice over about how he views himself. Charlie says, "I'm fat, I'm bald, I'm pathetic, I need to exercise.... " We see right from the start that Charlie's character is hopelessly desperate. At the same time we can see he desires to change he said, " I need to exercise." These statements show us that he is sad and desperate but he also wants to change.

The Jabberwocky, by Lewis Carroll, was written for the intended audience of children. But, because of the targeted audience’s age, Lewis Carroll knew that parents would be reading this poem to their children. I believe Lewis Carroll wrote this poem knowing that adults would read it. This poem can be interpreted in many ways, but the way that I read it was that the world comes full circle and we can never know what is up ahead. The world is full of things that we don’t understand and we can try to stop things from happening but there will always be something else coming up to challenge us. As soon as we solve one mystery in the world, another one pops up right in front of us.

Carol opens his poem with nonsensical descriptions and a father telling his boy to “Beware the Jabberwock, my son!” (5) with its “jaws that bite, the claws that catch!” (6). Though the poem is short, it clearly tells a story of a beast that terrorizes and people that fear it. The Jabberwocky is a vicious monster, and it is mentioned that “long time the manxome foe he sought“ (10) which could be implying that it has been around for ages. It is easy to read this poem, because it is utter nonsense without complex meaning or deep truths. Many of the words used in the poem were made

In the centuries that stories have been written down and passed from generation to generation, there have been some fantastic writers, Aldous Huxley, George Orwell, and J.K. Rowling just to name a few. But by far there is one whose greatness exceeds most. That writer is Charles Lutwidge Dodgson or more commonly known as Lewis Carroll. He is famous for such works as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, and what Alice Found There. One of his most intriguing works though is a poem entitled “Jabberwocky”. A childishly worded tale that describes a dangerous journey through an unknown land and the fighting of a raging beast known as the Jabberwock. By studying the literary devices and word choice of this work, Lewis Carroll’s

One day I am sitting at my desk planning on having a peaceful day. All of the sudden I hear running footsteps like a bunch of giants, going up the stairs, and I see Charley bursting through the door.
