Wendy Acceptor: A Short Story

In this scene, Curley’s wife talks to Candy, Lennie, Crooks, and Slim about how lonely and isolated she feels. She says “If I catch any one man, and he’s alone, I get along fine with him. But just let to of the guys get together an’ you won’t talk” (Steinbeck, pg 77). Curley’s wife’s isolation builds her negative personality causing her to constantly guilt trip people and make them feel bad about themselves. This is caused by Curley’s controlling personality, always bossing his wife around.

2. Women 's Role in Society A."He reproached his wife with her inattention, her habitual neglect of the children. If it was not a mother 's place to look after children, whose on earth was it?"(Paragraph 6,Section 3)At this time women didn 't have a large role in society, mainly: cleaning the house, looking after the kids, cooking, and entertaining/co-entertaining guests. This quote shows Edna not following this and being angry when Mr.

This is when he loses Daisy. When Gatsby is not satisfied with his original goal, “He gave that up, and only the dead dream fought on as the afternoon slipped away, trying to touch what was no longer tangible, struggling unhappily, undespairingly, toward that lost voice across the room” (Fitzgerald 134). His asking for too much leaves him longing for Daisy’s affection. Fitzgerald makes Daisy’s love for Gatsby a sparkling jewel beyond the reach of Gatsby’s fingertips (Kuehl). Unfortunately, Gatsby cannot carry out his American Dream because he will always want

(Pelzer, 17). David’s mom would plan vacations and daytrips for him and his family (Pelzer, 25). These fun times abruptly ended when his relationship with his mother changed from discipline to punishment which grew out of control. Dave’s parents started fighting, especially over how to treat David. This angered his mother and caused her to treat david cruelly through physical and mental abuse (Pelzer, 29-31).

She had good marks in school, a best friend, Anne Pinewood, who she did everything with, and her whole family was safe and healthy at the moment. Her brother, Tommy, although he was spoiled, was still a nice playful boy. Her mother, though she rarely smiled, was

This unsettling evokes some of the key features of the Gothic, such as the use of phantasmagoria, transgression, and excesses, all of which disturbed the reader by surrounding them with dark reflections of a reality portrayed through fiction. Pacts with the devil to obtain one’s desires, monks and aristocrats who revel in luxury — even if this means they must stain their hands with blood —, vampires and mad scientists: all corrupt one’s morals, all corrupt the false appearance of serenity. Likewise, the female vampires who torment Jonathan Harker disturb the harmony of the domestic sphere and unsettle the delicate balance between the private and the public domain. These vampiric women are marked by heightened sensuality and tacked to other fatal women that permeate art and European literature at the end of the nineteenth century. In this novel, fear and desire are often confused, a clue modern anxieties surrounding desire toward sensuous but degrading bodies.

In this moment, there are marriages being torn apart for the wrong reasons. Not only men are coming off as lethargic and heartless to the relationship, but also women appear needy and unsatisfied. These stereotypical characteristics of the opposite gender demonstrate that men and women do not really know each other. Even though Schlessinger, in “The Improper Care and Feeding of Husbands”, argues women 's qualities of being self-centered cause, destructive influences as the reason there are downfalls in relationships, Tannen proclaims, in “Sex, Lies, and Conversation”, that these downfalls in relationships are lack of communication between both sexes which derive from the couple’s inability to perceive their distinctive viewpoints.

From a young age, Queen Cersei started her evil off with the jealousy that fueled her to push her best friend into a well, ultimately killing her. Hereafter, Cersei continued to murder if necessary to the point where redemption is out of the question. Which is comparable to Macbeth in the way he plotted clandestine deaths of the people around him and killed to achieve his only desire; the throne. Queen Cersei could not escape the evil that fixated itself on her, or in other words, all the perfumes of Arabia could not sweeten her little hand just like Lady Macbeth.

On the last straw Sammy quits because the girls, and how does not want to be perceived as a Lengel or Stokesie by the girls to get them. My last straw was being asked too much of and constant rule switching between the managers, so I said “this is bullshit” and shortly walking out after

She only can do this after she feels she has gotten rid of her female attributes. This can be attributed to the constraints of society at this time. Also, it can be attributed to the way that she feels about being not fearless enough to kill. She says, “Come, you spirits / That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here, / And fill me from the crown to the toe top-full / Of direst cruelty” (1.5.47-50).

Edelman argues that the anger is not all her husband 's fault and that mostly the issue is mutual between her and her husband. She details the one time she got so mad that she went out and bought a tree house for no good reason. She said, “One day I said f*** it, and I took John’s credit card and bought a swing set” (55) This outburst again conveys to the reader that Edelman becomes so frustrated that eventually she breaks down. Her eruptive use of “f***” drives home her final feeling.

I love her amazing personality and sense of humor. Kiyomi and I have had so many memories together these past years. Every day in class Kiyomi always has a huge smile on her face and is always so positive. She is always so nice and a great friend to have. She is very fun and creative and loves hanging out with her friends during recess.

I grasped for air and dyingly said “No thanks, i have no purpose in succeeding when nobody would congratulate me even if i would. What is succeeding? Does it mean to keep pushing? Does it mean to have the advantage? Does it

A jealous feeling deep within our being due to an experience we felt was out of our control. A moment of fear when we believed someone may have been talking negatively about us. A deep-rooted worries that a partner may no longer love us. Look back, we have all been there, and it is never a nice place to be. In this section, I will show you my strategies to work with an insecure person.

This illustrates how much of himself the main character has lost. He has gone from being a lovely, docile person to an egregious domestic abuser and murder, as he later murders his wife, demonstrating how far people can go when their conscientiousness is lost. We can all become horrible, murderous people when our mind is altered. It is the nature of humans.
