Critical Analysis of "'What Do You Play, Boy?': Card Games in Great Expectations - 0 views
-
From a young age, Pip went to the Satis House and played cards with Estella. That's where he fell for her and where his desire for nobility began. Parkinson submits that while games are typically played for enjoyment, Pip did not enjoy playing cards, or his life as a gentleman. Pip's approach to his life as a nobleman is similar to his approach to cards. He does neither for enjoyment, he does both to impress Estella, and in the end fails to do either. Pip's wealth brings him no happiness, only discomfort and debt. Parkinson suggests that economic standing is determined by chance in addition to skill, which is accurate in Great Expectations, Pip and Estella get rich through luck, while Magwitch gets rich through mostly hard work and only a little help from luck. In addition, Pip loses at every game, no matter how hard he tries, and he blows through his fortune and ultimately loses it all. Life is just one big game, and playing for the wrong reasons can leave you destitute.

Arguement: Gantos strives for others to gain personal growth from his readings. Evidence: "Literature presents a world from many points of view, and as a result the reader who embraces diverse voices is in return made diverse." -Jack Gantos Claim: Gantos shares his story with readers in his first book A Hole in My Life to better develop who he is and help readers discover who they are. His book The Love Curse of the Rumbaughs is another story that uses vivid characters to capture audeinces attention by reading about these characters and their experiences which help readers achieve "personal growth".

Argument: Crichton is superior storyteller, but not a creator.
Claim 1: Crichton uses old plots and themes.
Evidence: "Terminal Man", "Next", "Andromeda Strain", "Jurassic Park" are all based off of works by other authors.
Claim 2: Crichton uses literary elements in tandem with "hard" science to write well.
Evidence: He integrated Chaos Theory into "Jurassic Park". Archetypes are prevalent in his works, as well as allusions. The Greek notion of Hubris-extreme pride-manages to work its way into most of his stories.

Coupland is a unique writer who makes no point within his novel, "Girlfriend In A Coma". Teenagers would mostly be attracted to his books because his characters are carefree and he is not out to teach his readers a lesson. "Girlfriend In A Coma juxtaposes the slick confidence of youth culture with a clumsy, easy-to-ridicule search for a right-minded way of living. It provides no solutions, but sustains a plea for intellectual individuality and a rigorous reassessment of workaday assumptions."
Review of Hole in My Life - 0 views

Arguement: Becoming a writer is a journey; Gantos used his journey in many different ways. Claim: Gantos' used the hard times in his life to motivate him to be a writer. Evidence: "It (prison) is where I went from thinking about becoming a writer, to writing." -Jack Gantos Claim: Mistakes and downfalls lead Gantos to become a more intellegent writer. Evidence: "his unsparing portrayal of his fears, failings, and false starts... is brillant and authentistic." Claim: Gantos used his journey to define his writing techniques. Evidence: Gantos' spare narrative style and straightforward revelation of the truth have, together, a cumulative power that will capture not only a reader's attention but also empathy and imagination."
Ellen Hopkins - 0 views

Argument: Hopkins writes about very controversial topics because they are extremely realistic topics in todays society. Claim: Ellen Hopkins impacts the lives of her readers and tries in influence them positively. Her books are eye openers. Evidence: "I write about subjects that many authors prefer to shun--drugs, abuse, suicide, sexual orientation. Today's young adults deal with these issues on a daily basis. Only by shedding light on them can we come, not only to understand them, but to move beyond them toward a more positive future." http://bna.galegroup.com.lib.chandleraz.gov/bna/short_bio/GALE%7C20439570/Hopkins,%20Ellen
