Moreover she often had no one to talk to. She was habitually rejected by the ranch hands. Curley’s wife was always looking for someone to bend an ear to; she was not trying to seduce them. Curley’s wife is looking for someone who will listen and talk to her. Steinbeck states in the novel that Curley’s wife says “I never get to talk to nobody.

His use of examples of influential celebrities and textual evidence portrayed his ideology of villain actions in two different settings. He described a villain as one who hurts others through emotional manipulation by ridiculing one self’s image and reputation to gain relevance throughout the world. This is relatable to my point of view because of my personal cyber bullying story. Moreover, this led to another villain that steals materialistic objects to have a financial gain. Klosterman conveys his argument in a coherent way which allows me to connect with him in agreement with his definition of what a villain is.

Chris Crutcher , wrote this book for teens to open up more to their parents to speak out when they’re feeling a certain way. Not bottle up their emotions and become stressed and depressed over the situations they’re put in. He also wrote this for parents who ride they kids to the point where they’d rather die than play sports. Sports are supposed to be fun and entertaining.

The backfire is an indirect consequence of the power holder ignoring the manipulation they induce on

(STEWE-2) Another self conflict Najmah had, “It’s been more than two weeks since I’ve last spoken, and I’m not certain I will ever be able to speak again” (Staples 110). Here, Staples helps us understand PTSD by showing change in Najmah’s behavior. Najmah is not talking on her whole journey to Torkhum. She does not talk to Khalida or Akhtar. When Najmah is facing these conflicts with herself it is showing the reader how PTSD changes someone 's life.

If one does not communicate with their parents enough, then the child may believe they are in charge of the family rather than the parent. Peter and George were talking about how Peter does not want to do things by hand because he was gotten lazy and George says that he would rather they not use technology. Peter whines, ‘“I don’t want to do anything but look and listen and smell; what else is there to do?”’ (Bradbury 7). Technology has interfered with the human connection way too much because Peter did not even know why the automatic painter was taken away until now. If Peter were to be a human in today’s

She has no one on the farm to talk to besides her husband. Curley’s wife lives in very poor and lonely conditions as no one wants to talk to her, and on top of that Curley treats her as if he owns her and decides what she can and cannot do. We come to learn at the end of Curley’s wife 's role at the end of the book how she really feels and we discover that she regrets not being an actor and regrets coming to the ranch. She also opens up by saying that she doesn’t even like Curley. Curley and his wife 's marriage is loveless and she wishes she could get out of it and have some attention.

Being that she was sheltered away from the outside world, she had no friends, thus becoming dependent on her father. This type of dependency, can affect someone’s mental state. After his death, she has a rather difficult time coming to terms with his demise, refusing to believe that one person she connected to most, was gone. This continued for three days, and while the community saw her denial of her father’s death as a normal part of the grieving process, it certainly was something deeper than what it was. After she finally accepts her father’s passing, she meets a Northern laborer who comes into town as a contractor, Homer Barron.

They can use any methods which may cause terrible damage for the sufferers’ mind, just to diminish the social status of whom they are bullying. In general, the goal to be achieved is raising and spreading their own power and dishonoring the others. Lastly, the motivation of online bullying is to ease the boredom. It may not surprising that the minority of perpetrators see this cruelty as the source of entertainment and others are too cowed to protest.
