Angela & Freddie

Literary Analysis

A couple that found Andy.

Angela tried to help him but Freddie refused because he noticed that Andy was gang member.

He was afraid of getting

involved with the opposite

gang.

Personification

In this story, the tone is distressing.

Andy tries to survive throughout the story because of the stabbing from the other rival gang member.

He kept thinking on what would happen to him. Including his love, Laura. While handling the pain.

"He watched the world passing at the other end of the ally."

Examples

"In his ignorance he lay bleeding and wishing he could cry out for help, but there was no voice in his throat."

This connects to the presentation because it shows a short summary of the story. Involving some characters as well.

"He thought of her face, the brown eyes and the jet-black hair, and thinking of her he forgot his pain a little,forgot that blood was rushing from his body."

This video connects to the presentation because it shows some similarities between the tone of the story and the song.

Explanation

A procedure to separate the elements of a story that would help you understand it more clearly. It focuses on the usage of the plot/structure, characters ,setting and many other techniques that were used by the author.

The author decided to use personification to show how Andy's life is going by fast right in front of him because of the situation he's currently involve with. Dying slowly and slowly as time ticks. Regreting on not living life to the fullist.

Theme

The theme of the story is

"Don't let a label control your destiny."

Explanation

In the story, Andy faces prejudice because of his identity. Everyone sees him as a Royal. Because of that, his life was shortened instantly.

Andy wanted to be known as himself, not a gang member.

Main Conflict

Andy gets stabbed by a opposite gang member because he's part of a gang called the Royals. He then struggles on getting help by many people because of his ingury.

Most fascinating part of the story..

Explanation

That part of the story was fascinating for me because it explain how Andy started to realize that it was his own fault on being in that position. He payed more attention on other things than himself. Including the fact that he didn't enjoy life that well.

"There were so many things to do. He wondered why he'd never thought of them before, wondered why the rumbles and the jumps and the purple jackets had always seemed so important to him before."

"Now they seemed like such small things in a world he was missing, a world that was rushing past at the other end of the alley."
