PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Chapter 21(part 1)
Harry Potter's scar helps to symbolize not only his strength and survival, but it also helps to show his character in the fact that the scar was created because he protected by his mother, just as how Harry does his best to protect his fellow students, though not always successfully.
Chapter 21 (part 2)
It also helps to show that even though he is a very kind and loveable character, there is darkness and pain within him and his past that still affect him to the present. It shows his strength as well as his weakness meaning that the loss of his parents have made him rely on his friends to give him some sense of family,
Chapter 21 (part 3)
the Weasley family and also how Ron and Hermione act as a married couple most of the time. In The Goonies, the character Sloth is facially deformed from birth defects and by growing up in a very distasteful family of crooks.
Chapter 21(part 4)
Though Sloth does not follow his family and even though his deformities help to show his unfortunate background, they also help to show how he breaks through the boundaries given to him. Sloth is not a crook or someone with a foul heart.
Chapter 21 (part 5)
His family locked him away due to his deformities and they mistreated him, yet he still finds it in his heart to save them towards the end of the movie. Sloth's deformities help to also show how he does not distinguish someone based upon looks, but rather based upon their character. This is shown with how most make fun of another character, named Chunk, based off of his larger image, but Sloth treats him as if they've been brothers.
Chapter 22 (part 1)
The fact that Piggy, from Lord of the Flies, needed to use thick glasses to see anything at all, since he lost them and was crying out that he was blind essentially, helps to show his weakness as a character. His poor eyesight is not just poor eyesight, but also shows how he himself can not see what everyone else thinks and expects of him. He is a weak character that has little to no influence in every matter and is mostly seen as a major annoyance to the rest of the characters.
Chapter 22 (part 2)
This also helps to explain his reliance on the conch so much, as the conch helped to show both power and authority, something's that Piggy had none of. This also helps to show the theme of the how there is darkness inherently within the human race in the sense that, even though Piggy is blind and a not a threat in any sense, the other characters still used him for entertainment up to the point where he was killed.
Chapter 23 & 24 (part 1)
In David Baldacci's Hour Game", the character, Bobby Battle, dies of syphilis in the hospital. This is significant because it reflects the fathers background. He was a wealthy business man who had a very rich family and tended to use his money in poor ways, meaning excess spending in prostitution, but instead of having him go bankrupt and lose everything through the loss of money, Baldacci instead uses a disease to kill him off to help show how his moral judgement and his humanity have ultimately tainted not only himself but also his family, as one of his sons also passes from syphilis helping to show how this poor humanity has not only seeped to kill him, but also his son.
Chapter 23 & 24 (part 2)
This also helps to show the plot because this book is centered around a serial killer who is killing women that are and/or resemble prostitutes, or just someone who lives a distrustful lifestyle, and men that are wealthy and disloyal. It turns out the killer is the twin brother of the son who died of syphilis and he is seeking some form of revenge due to his inhumane father who indirectly killed his twin. So ultimately Baldacci shows how this man’s inhumanity and thoughtlessness towards his family is reflected in his death and his contraction of a disease, syphilis, that is usually associated with disgust and dishonor itself.
Chapter 25 (part 1)
“”Much Ado About Nothing””, I feel that Act 2 Scene 1 would be the best example to show the difference between a reader from today and one from the Shakespearean era. I say this because it is the scene, where not only two people who have met each a day before decide to marry, but it is also a masquerade party. In this scene Shakespeare makes assumptions to true love and to how marriage was something that was done quickly in his day and age because the life expectancy was much shorter.
Chapter 25 (part 2)
Shakespeare is implying the higher end lifestyle that was glorified during that time, not to say that we in the modern generation have completely lost this higher end lifestyle, its just that we have a different interpretation of it. Rather than masquerades and fancy dances, we have more ball like parties where we dress up nicely and converse with another rather than wearing mask and dancing. This style of party was usually used to celebrate more prestigious events and consisted of the participants to wear masks, wear as today we usually wouldn’t have a party where everyone showed up in mask to go and celebrate someones returning home or birthday.
