Realism

task 1:





The story resembles realism because it first of all uses a lot of details discribing how the how the people felt and the suroundings. It also shows the womens true feelings, at first she is sad but then she realizes that she is free and is glad that her husband died, because now she can do what she wants and she is not tied down. I think that in a way this story is beautiful because she is so over joyed that her husband is dead, im not saying that its beautiful that people die, but the freedom she felt is. But then her husband isnt really dead and she dies of shock that she isnt free.



Task 2:

this story is defiently realism, it is very harsh and real. Its sad that this kind of stuff happended, but it did and people need to remember they jsut cant run away from the past. But this story really stood out because it is very detailed about how the kid was abussed and treated it does not have anything very happy in it. Except teh end when he feels enlighted, but it is harsh reality or it was reality back then, and that is why it is realism. The writer doesnt try to cover up the bac things, well ok the whole story is horrbile, but he reaches out to the reader and makes them feel the pain this boy felt. I think he wrote this to show people that life was not all peachy keen back then and to make people apprieciate what they have today. I thik the writter is trying to make people feel bad that this happended, even though we cant do anything about it in this time of day. It still sends a message about how wrong everythign was then and that we should be thankful that it still isnt like that.

Task 3:

Im going to pick Alpha Dog, which is a true story that got made into a movie. It is about drugs and kidnapping, this guy owns money to this other dude and they dude steals the guys little brother holding him ransome for the money. They treat the kid like he is one of them and try to get him feeling comfortable, then they kill him for no apparent reason. I think that this is an example of realism because first of all it is a true story and it is ruthless, these people kill an 15 year old kid over money, nothing NOTHING is worth killing anybody especially money, and to a kid too. It is a very detailed movie, its very cruel. The sad thing is this stuff happends a lot too, it isnt a joke people let money and drugs run their lives at the cost of other lives. But all the guys involved got life in prison, but that doesnt give the kid his life back. This is a very touchy movie and very realistic, well of course it is because it really happened.
