This passage illustrates the lack of connection between Cha-Cha and his brothers, Russell and Lonnie. He is desperately trying to get someone to understand the struggles in his life but he cannot seem to connect with any of his siblings. Flournoy wrote this section of the book so that it contains strictly dialogue between the characters. We, the readers, are not able to gain a clear insight as to how each character is reacting to the telephone conversation. When speaking over the phone, it is very difficult to judge the reaction of the person on the end of the line. This point is exemplified by the sentence structure of the conversation between Russell and Cha-Cha. Russell’s sentences are very short and choppy, almost as if he desperately …show more content…
Cha-Cha feels as though Lonnie is on the same page as him but Lonnie does not even know where that page is. It is sort of ironic that the person who tells Cha-Cha he believes in the haint, is the one who is not even paying attention to the details of the conversation. Right after telling Cha-Cha that he believes in the haint, Lonnie’s end of the line becomes quiet. I found this pause to be an odd aspect concerning the passage of time. It really creates an awkward mood where you don’t have a full grasp of what’s going on. How people interact over the phone is very different from how they interact in person. During a phone call, you are unable to see whether or not a person is an active participant. Their facial expressions are unknown and their attention is usually focused on anything except the conversation. This can be seen when Lonnie forgets his phone call with Cha-Cha to focus on finding the stud for his earring. The dialogue becomes less smooth at this point mostly because of the confusion on Cha-Cha’s part. His response of “Oh…” indicates that there is a noticeable pause in his speech. He appears to be annoyed by the fact that Lonnie cannot pay attention long enough to have a basic conversation with him. Lonnie’s inability to remain attentive is ultimately why this conversation has no connection. It is purely Lonnie telling Cha-Cha what he thinks he wants to
From reading the excerpt once, a monologue is a key concept to the development of the novel. Capote initiates monologue to show the characters’ unspoken thoughts. Monologue reveals characters secret thoughts or intentions. Perry Smith is the vulnerable sidekick who goes along with Dick. Trying to leave the murder of the Clutter family behind, Perry tormented with the never ending feelings of guilt.
The chapter begins with a story about Rat Kiley’s friend Curt Lemon’s death and that he will be writing to Lemon’s sister about her brother and all of the things he has gone through at war before his death. The tone behind the letter is nothing but disturbing and inappropriate from Lemon’s sister’s viewpoint. There is
In Native Son, Richard Wright paces the plot through his varying sentence structure which differs depending upon the situation at hand. Through the use of short and succinct sentences, especially in dialogue, Wright displays Bigger’s timid nature towards white people. In the narrative, the use of concise sentences depicts fast motions and the simple observations of Bigger. For example, when Bigger carries the intoxicated Mary to her room, Wright describes, “He turned her round and began to mount the steps, one by one. He heard a slight creaking and stopped. He looked, straining his eyes in the gloom. But there was no one” (105) By using simple statements, Wright shows
Romeo and I are standing next to each other, Friar Laurence standing between us and nurse sitting down on the church seats. Nurse looks some what happy, she did want me to marry young. I feel happy and kind of guilty. I can't believe I snuck out. Even though I feel kind of guilty I’m glad I snuck out to marry Romeo. I know I met him like two days ago, but it feels like I've known him forever. It was love at first sight, something I had never experienced before.
Abigail didn't belong here. She knew that now after she had finally freed herself from that medicine they forced on her. She was finally herself again...for the most part. Now she had learned a lesson, she couldn't let herself feel anything or else she'd give herself away. They'd know if she wasn't acting like a complete zombie...so she had to take precautions. Starting with keeping to herself and not interacting with any lowlife scum who would upset her. She needed to get out of here, but she needed help. Or at the very least, cover.
A feeling of nostalgia came over you when you saw the old-fashioned sign and popcorn machines, everything was still in perfect order.
The American and Jig use very different ways of speaking to one another, they often use manipulation – differently– and subtle hints to convey their desires. For instance, as they order more drinks, Jig observes that her new beverage tastes of licorice. The American, perhaps annoyed by her analogy, replies that everything tastes of licorice. Jig agrees that his statement is true, and continues to say: “especially all the things you’ve waited so long for, like absinthe” (paragraph 27). Here, Jig attempts to communicate that everything she longs for, or finds a solution for, leaves her feeling bitter in the end. Angry, the American asks Jig to “cut it out” (paragraph 28), which demonstrates his tendency towards avoidance. Finally, after some conversation – unrelated to the actual conflict – the American breaks the silence by saying: “it’s really an
The majority of Cha-Cha’s storyline in this novel revolved being haunted. A weird twist comes in the story when Cha was referred to see a shrink. Which made the audience think it could be mental disorders that cha has but doesn’t know about it. Unhappiness happened at some point in this book for the majority of all the characters in The Turner House.
The syntax of the punctuation also creates pauses. Pausing forces reflection: each space of not speaking allows for the processing of the emotions Brooks presents. By pausing and thinking, the emotions can become personal rather than the emotions of the speaker. Silence through repetition thus allows traumatic stories and the related emotions to present themselves in full via reflection.
This bitterness and sarcasm is revealed as strong characteristics of the narrator. Throughout the majority of the story, the narrator continues shows his distaste for any "happy" situation. Much like the hyphenated asides, Carver implements fragmented sentences behind description, to show the narrator pausing for a moment of color commentary.
Everybody and all that I have adored I have lost. How unfortunate. My father and mother, Belle Reve, and now Mitch. While it isn't last I comprehend what will happen, for I have no fortunes with regards to love. To start with my poor, dear, youthful spouse. Why, goodness why, did his passing need to happen? On the off chance have he not kicked the bucket, I would not need to confront this cold blooded and revolting world alone. The main way I know how to survive is to, well, lie. In any case, how am I to keep this up when I know I have been exploited?
I am Indian. My entire family is Indian. I am the very first child to have been born outside of India. My parents’ generation were the first to marry into non-Indian families. So America is pretty new for us. However, there isn’t really anything special about us coming to this country. My aunt came for school. My father came for school. My mother came because of my father. They all came by plane comfortably, and never experienced an adventure while coming into the US. It was the most boring travel story EVER.
Gatsby is so sweet. I’ve always loved that smile of his. It feels like the past, but the good parts. I just love him in general (I still think that Nick is secretly in love with me.) Gatsby lived across the bay and I didn’t even know. I never noticed the big parties he threw. I know I only went to one party, but I had so much fun. It felt so nice just to go out and meet all these amazing entertainers. One thing I’m unsure about is if I want to leave Tom for Gatsby. Tom is a cheater, but I loved him once. We also have a daughter together. If the time ever came where I had to choose, I don’t know who I would pick. one day, I’ll decide.

“During the whole of the dull, dark, and soundless day in the autumn of the year, when the clouds hung oppressively low in the heavens. I looked upon the features of the domain upon a few rank sees and upon a few white trends of decayed trees with an utter depression of soul which I can compare to no earthly sensation.”(pg.1) This quote effectively expresses the darkness and terrifying aura that the setting creates. It introduces the theme to the reader and also let’s the readers be able to predict how the story is going to turnout. The story is set at the House of Usher described to be as an unhappy house. This is only one story out of the many famous pieces that Edgar Allan Poe has written. In this essay two will presented;
