Jeremiah Brown By Rachel Brown Analysis

Rachel is obsessed with the idea of being perfect and needing to uphold an image of perfection, however she has finally realized this is not attainable. Living in the Congo is an

One of the events in this book was the Boston Tea Party. The Boston Tea Party was the dumping of 342 chests of tea into the Boston Harbor. Rachel and Debby, Sarah’s older sister, believed that Paul was one of the people who dumped the tea, but Paul denied it. Sarah and Debby, Sarah’s older sister, started talking about Rachel. They said that Rachel is really worried for Paul because he could get hurt or even killed. Rachel had already been worried about Paul but she was more worried when he started doing more stuff. This made Rachel unhappy because she doesn’t want anything to happen to

The second parent child conflict is depicted in how Rachel wants to have a voice in how she runs her life within the family. She is discredited by her father

Rachel is the oldest of the four daughters, at 15 years of age, the whiny would-be beauty queen who "cares for naught but appearances," can think only of what she misses: the five-day deodorant pads she forgot to bring, flush toilets, machine-washed clothes and other things, as she says with her willful gift for malapropism, that she has taken "for granted," the bible and her faith were no where near the top of her list. Her only way of surviving in the Congo was simply to not adapt at all; as she says ''The way I see Africa, you don't have to like it but you sure have to admit it's out there. You have your way of thinking and it has its, and never the train ye shall meet!'' Thi

This inner defiance gives evidence to Rachel’s determination and individuality. The sweater now represents a sort of barrier and if she submits herself to it, she fears the world of ages and maturity.

Another way to deal with past regrets that is brought to light is the idea of repressing that memory in the first place. Unlike her sisters, Rachel Price is the only one who ignores her guilt. After Ruth May’s death and their departure from Nathan, Rachel rarely ever brings these major events up again. Instead she talks about her new life, speaking about her newest boy toy and complaining about the African’s culture. The night of Ruth May’s death, since Rachel is

Although Rachel is very emotional, in the only dialogue between her and Mrs. Pierce she sounds very shy, unsure of herself, not ready to confront and timid.

Rachel grew up in a house hold where she had to grow up really quick. In her early teenage years she witnesses her mom struggle through abusive relationships with her step dad and other boyfriends that came after. She eventually became an alcoholic. By the time Rachel was 13 year old, she dropped out of school to take the role of the emotional and financial care taker of her mother. Living in her

The story is told through the perspective of Rachel, and the way she tells her story portrays a lot about her character. When the teacher told Rachel if the red sweater was her, she responded with “That’s not, I don’t, you’re not...Not mine.” (paragraph 10). This reveal that Rachel is a shy girl who probably doesn’t speak that often unless provoke. It also shows that Rachel can’t seem to finish what she’s saying. Another thing to take note of is how Rachel tells her story. She tells her story with simple vocabulary, and the way she describe her story makes it seem like it was actually written by a child of that

This further impacted the children Rachel and Leah, being the oldest daughters in the family. Rachel was a daughter that loved her father and she at first felt that he was the best person in the world. She would always follow him around and be his little princess, that was until she started to see the bad things that he started doing in the dark, mysterious place they were living in. She started to see how arrogant and defensive he became throughout the community and how he threw hissy fits. She realized that enough was enough and she needed to grow accustomed to this new place by herself, just like the narrator did in the poem. This is because she knew that her dad was just going insane and he wanted too much power. She now felt bad for her mom and what he had done to her, and wanted to side with her mom to get out of the community that they were in because they had enough of it. Another thing that happened in the Congo while she was there was something absurd and scarring to say the least. Her sister had started to hunt with the men for meat and Rachel saw what they did when they killed the poor animals lives. Rachel was so startled and appalled that she had to become a vegetarian for a short time while they were there. This just shows that she had to adapt to a new lifestyle because she could not think of eating a poor animal that had an innocent life, but her sister Leach could have cared

Rachel took her arm away from his but still walked close to him. Then he had cried out "Rachel! Do you not love me? Is not my love for you as sacred as anything in all of life itself?" Rachel was quiet. They passed a street lamp. Her face was pale and beautiful. He had made a movement to grab her arm and she had moved a little farther from him. "No," she had replied. He then said "Some time--when I am more worthy?" he had asked in low voice, but she did not hear him, she did not even say goodnight and went into her house.

Although the audience is aware that the categories of “good” and “evil” have gotten terribly mixed up in this play, Mary is faced with a life or death situation: if she does what is really “good” she will die by those who hold the power and declare it “not good;” whereas if she does what is wrong, she ends up lying. "Mary, tell the Governor what they- when, seeing him coming for her, she rushes out of his reach, screaming in horror. Don't touch me-don't touch me! I'll not hang with you! I love God, I love God. He bid you do the Devil's work? He come at me by night and every day to sign, to sign, to- Sign what? The Devil's book? He come with a book? My name, he want my name. "I'll murder you," he says, "if my wife hangs! We must go and overthrow the court," he says! Mr. Hale! I love God, I bless God. Sobbing, she rushes to Abigail. Abby, Abby, I'll never hurt you no more. What are you? Proctor is beyond speech in his anger. You are combined with

Gauri Patel AP Language- Mrs. Davis September 6, 2017 Chapters 1-6 of The Boys in the Boat: Mirrors or Windows? As I read pages 31-37, the edge of a different perspective on life is evident. The author, Daniel James Brown gives the reader a prestigious and detailed window view of every possible adversity in Joe Rantz’s life. The young, hopeless, Joe was the second child of Nellie Maxwell and Harry Rantz and a younger brother to Fred Rantz. Growing up with one catastrophe after another, the reader begins to realize that his weakness and instability was driven out of his traumatic familial relationships. The traumatic experiences Joe faced as a child, described earlier in the chapter, shows why he is such an independent character. Spring of

Beyond racial divide, Kingsolver portrays how Rachel’s self-obsession leaves no room for her family in order

While there are many depictions of thematic tension that demonstrate the allegorical allusion between good and evil within this scene, I will break down two moments that independently argue the significance of Rachel’s character as the manifestation of good, redeeming the negative connotation Christianity has within the story. With the technical elements already dissected, I focus solely on how the scenes operate on a thematic scale. The first moment would be when Rachel joins in with a Preacher for a duet of the song “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms”. While the preacher sings throughout this song from the start
