In the passage, taken from To Kill A Mockingbird, there is a mean and angry woman who lives down the street from two young children. Throughout the excerpt Mrs. Dubose was saying horrible things to two kids, Scout and Jem, and sometimes about about their father, Atticus. Harper Lee, the author of To Kill A Mockingbird, makes it clear to the readers that Mrs. Dubose is a disrespectful and critical woman. Mrs. Henry Lafayette Dubose does not like children and always has something critical to say about Scout and Jem, sometimes even Atticus.
When Iago says destructive things like these to Emilia, she does not have a chance to form her own identity. She is always reminded of what Iago thinks of her and therefore internalizes those ideas. June is held back by her many failed attempts to be a prodigy. Her mother spends endless amounts of time training June to “be a Chinese Shirley Temple” (Tan 132), to
In the play ‘A Doll’s House’ by Henrik Ibsen, the role of macaroons play a major role as they represent Nora’s dishonest behavior towards Torvald. Nora is completely a different person in front of Torvald; however, she tries to shield things that she does which Torvald doesn’t like. In reality, their marriage seems to be falling apart as she is not happy being with her husband as he tells her not to have macaroons, as the macaroons will damage her teeth and destroy her beauty. The macaroons present image of Nora’s longing to be liberated. She wants to have her own personality and will to live a life where no one stops her from doing what she gets pleasure from.
Elizabeth Anne is presented as a sympathetic character in the short story "Elizabeth Takes the Reins". Elizabeth is portrayed as the "sensitive" main character who later learns to do small things on her own. There are three primary reasons that show she is a sensitive character. First, she was forced to go somewhere she did not want to go. Secondly her aunt, named Frances has either died or has gone somewhere, third her Great-Uncle Henry has no sympathy towards her at all.
Eric, I’m absolutely ashamed of you”. The contrast between “coming to life” and “distressed” suggests that Sybil is shocked by the appearance and knowledge of the Inspector or she pretends not understanding the truth about her own son, Eric. Either way, the audience feels timid towards Sybil since pretentious is not how an upper class’s personality should be. A businessman’s wife is expected to stand up to protect herself and her family. The strong verb “ashamed” that Sybil uses with Eric suggests a sudden change in the attitude of herself.
Inspector Goole’s second name is a pun, reference to ghoul, which comes to warn people about upcoming events, so that they can be prepared in some way. And whereas Sheila made conclusions for herself, Mr. and Mrs. Birling are bothered by completely different things. Which makes Sheila upset and almost disappointed in her family as they don’t understand the consequences while relying on their social status and privileges. Overall, in my opinion, Arthur Birling and Sheila
But he is only feeling this way because he has books and feels guilty, but he is taking his guilt by storm. Mildred is very attached to her ‘family’ in the wall. When she is mad or irritated with Montag she goes and talks to her ‘family’ because they make her feel better. But she is just programmed to think that because in reality it does not. The ‘family’ is programmed to make her feel good about herself.
They had been talking and Lennie was feeling her hair, and before that, Curley’s wife was telling him about her dream. In conclusion, with these three points, companionship is essential to life. With the shooting of Candy’s dog, the conversation between Lennie and Crooks, and Curley's wife trying to have conversations with the workers because of her loneliness, companionship is needed in these situations because loneliness is very evident in the book and everyone is looking for someone to talk to. It’s hard for the characters to find someone to talk to because of the gender segregation, racial segregation and the inability to comprehend their
73 Response I think that Adeline can relate to PLT. I’m sure that Adeline chose PLT cause she saw herself in her. She is considered bad luck and maybe she feels helpless.
The denouement of the play is received differently by both the readers. In act 3, when Nora intrepidly questions Helmer 's perception of her "most sacred duty" towards her "husband and children", she questions the Victorian era reader 's ideals and beliefs as well which leaves the reader infuriated. Moreover, Nora is thought of as unhinged when she "slams" the door, in hopes of transforming from Helmer 's "little songbird" into a "woman." This is not the case with the modern reader who is relieved by Nora 's epiphany as she begins "to realize everything", including the need to become "independent." The modern reader, on the time spectrum, has had the chance to discuss the sexism that prevails in society and the need for feminism;
(Sepetys 135). Her mom wants to make Lina realize that she should still be nice to people even if they do not do the same in return. At the end of the story she begins to get this. Because she begins to get this she begins to get hope herself for one reason “a guilty conscience is not worth extra food” (Sepetys 122). When Lina got some more food she agreed to give it to her friends because she has to share with them in order for everyone to survive.
Everyday people find the courage to do things they never thought they could do. Some people think courage comes from how strong and brave you are, but I disagree. In To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, the main character, Scout, and several other characters, go through events and challenges that change their lives, especially the Tom Robinson trial, which exposed Scout to the evils of racism and stereotyping. Although courage is represented in many ways in the book, I believe courage is the byproduct of overcoming challenges. Miss Maudie had a different view on things like racism and people in Maycomb, which shows how courage is the byproduct of overcoming challenges.
