Equiano was just a kid at this time period, and it was common for slaves to undergo this sort of pressure that young. Many kids were taken from families as he was, so they could grow into slavery and become used to the ways. Equiano was in an area with his fellow Africans but felt lost as he was around men with different colored skin, that had "funny" language to him.

If he seemed too interested in what the man found, Bigger fears he will be suspected of the murder, so he only goes forward slightly. Also, he feels his lungs aren 't getting any air in because of his nervousness and fearfulness towards being arrested since what the man is looking at is pieces of Mary’s burned bones. Bigger thinks of his lungs as a furnace since they both could not get air in. Bigger felt fearful of being incarcerated and felt as though he could not breathe. The furnace in the Dalton’s home also could not get air in it, but it was because Bigger did not want to clean it in fear of finding Mary’s bones.

This scarcity helps him devalue himself and feel he is ceasing to exist and with this starts using irregular sentence structures as seen in the quote “I was nothing but ash now” (Wiesel 54). Notice in this sentence the simplicity of all the words except the word nothing. He is adding emphasis on the word nothing because he himself believes that he has deterred into nothing. This helps readers understand how little life he has left and he is not in fact truly living but just surviving. At times he does not even want to be doing the simple task of breathing but just quit.

“A Sorrowful Woman” examines the detrimental effects of the mother’s repressed sexuality on her small family, as well as how addiction and isolation hasten her descent into madness. The mother denies her sexuality for fear of retributions and judgements from her family and by society. Her repressed feelings have accumulated over the years and resulted in a subconscious hatred for her husband and son. Godwin communicates how little they mean to the woman by never even revealing their names. Instead, they are referred to as “the husband”(1) and “the child,” (1) viewed by the mother as extras in the production in which she is trying to play a believable

Allison also has an unstable home life; one she would be quick to abandon. She doesn't seem to have many friends or anything going outside school because the reason she was in detention was that she had nothing better to do so she was just there to be there. According Marcia’s theory Allison is facing identity diffusion because she has no real choice in her life about her identity.

In other words the narrator has never talked to Mangan’s sister and therefore does not even know her name (187). Since he does not know the girls name it shows her insignificance and how the narrator actually likes the idea of Mangan’s sister but not her as a person. In reality, it is not usual to become infatuated with someone you do not know, and the fact that he is somewhat “in love” with a girl he does not know shows he is naïve. The narrator decides to go to the bazaar and contemplates on what to buy Mangan’s sister.

The opportunity of a better life intrigued her curiosity and molded her into a prosperous woman. However, that curiosity killed her spirit and the dialogue shows that. Toward the end she unveils the meager illusion and shows that she still has a foot in her old life, but keeps the other in high society.
