Societys Rejects and Barry Hines Kestrel for a KnaveA kestrel for a knave is about a poor troubled Yorkshire lad by thename of he-goat Casper. What he imagines to be out of reach and unimagined are things we take for granted. He imagines love from hisparents and just normal, every daylight things like fish and chips forsupper and someone being nice to him. For billy goat, that is a hallucination thatwill never become reality.Treated as a hardship at school and unhappy at home, Billy discovers a saucily passion in life when he finds Kes, a kestrel hawk. Billyidentifies with her silent strength and she inspires in him the trustand love that nothing else can. I dont think that Kes gives Billy thepower to revolutionize and construction around his social life, because shedoesnt. But Kes is extremely close to Billys heart. Kes gives Billya sense of satisfaction and achievement. Kes gives Billy the will to live on another day while other is Billys placement would boast given upon l ife long ago. Kes is efficaciously Billys best friend and whom hespends around of his unsheathed time with and would have continues to do soafter he left(a) school if event wouldnt have gone the way they haddone.Billy is portrayed as someone who has given up on everything as heknows he wont get a second chance, and that hes future is going downthe same road as his older brother Jud. Billy has been made to lookafter himself for most of his life as hes dad has left him and his unsounded is too busy worrying about herself. Hes had to escort to find waysto find food and that is stealing from anyone, anywhere. For examplehe takes a bottle of milk from the milkman, he steals sweets from thelittle store where he has a job to deliver newspapers. The shop ... ...assroom. This is also a nigh(a) example forhis punctuation as he uses short sentences, the scuffle of a turningpage etc. the problem with using so a great deal description is that itleaves the readers having no imagination on the scene or character. approximately of the book is written as Billys thoughts on things and hedoesnt use speech that much to describe things.This book reflects on many issues that still carry on today but havegot even more serious. It shows how lucky we are to have a family who wish well and love us and how important it is not to take it for granted,as on that point are many children who dont know the feeling of being loved.I think Barry Hines used a very good stage to bring the message acrosson how people can be made to feel. And that everyone deserves a secondchance and should not be judged on wealth but on the persons moralsand personality.
