Lastly, like Victor, Elizabeth also has an event in her life which parallels to Shelley’s. When Shelley was young, her family dynamic greatly changed when her father married Mary Jane Clairmont in 1801.

Some might be moved by Reb Saunders’s tears of apology; others might think that he abused Danny and that his apology could not possibly make up for it. Like Reuven, nobody is quite sure just how to feel about Reb Saunders by the end of the novel, which is actually a good thing in a different angle. It meant that The Chosen had accomplished a big goal. It enabled the readers to see beyond the surface of things and people, into deeper meanings.
I don’t understand how its legal to lie to these kids like this. There should be some kid of legal binding contract to make sure these kids are taken care of no matter what. You drag them out of their comfort zone, change up everything they’ve know only to kick them back out on the streets when things don’t go in a positive direction. With today’s culture, it seems like a what can you do for me now type of setting. If you’re not of value then be gone.
Erdrich’s short story has six characters, three major and three minor. The first major character is our nameless narrator who is an awful person that steals things just because he feels like it, “Who I am is just the habit of what I always was, and who I’ll be is the result” (p. 127). The narrator also has a very hard time keeping healthy relationships with family and significant others. The second major character is the baby, who the narrator names “Mason Joseph Andrews”, we don’t know much about him besides the fact that he’s a baby and survives the cold.
Samantha also thinks that if she tells Stuart, then he would leave her and she’d be “down to no one”. This insinuates that Samantha’s disease would create an unpleasant personality for Samantha, which furthers how disabilities are represented as an exclusion from society. Finally, Samantha had just blanked out (a symptom of NPC), and lost her National Debate Competition:“And then you realize everyone else is inside, being normal, and even your family can’t stand you and you are completely and utterly alone” (98). Samantha blames herself, or more specifically her disease, for
Unforgettable past from an individual’s childhood can result in a long-term traumatized future life, far more excessive then what is deemed reasonable. The feeling of neglect and abandonment is evident in a young characters life, where the feeling of being loved was not validated.

Lady Capulet did not even try to comfort Juliet or listen to her reasoning behind not wanting to marry Paris, rather she does not care and moves on. Juliet then had to confront the Nurse for some motherly advice pleading, “Comfort me; counsel me” (3.5. 220). The Nurse is more of a motherly figure to Juliet all of her life than Lady Capulet is. Lady Capulet was indifferent throughout the play because she never was a real mother to Juliet. If Lady Capulet is a better mother to Juliet and was concerned of her decisions she would support Juliet on things she does not want to do.
