Personal Narrative: My Declaration Of Independence

(Townsend 6.) Also after they realized the baby was gone “Anne and the servants searched the house, starting in the nursery, and none of them saw the ransom note on the window sill. Yet Lindbergh discovered it after returning to the nursery alone.” (Townsend 11.) As suspicious as that sounds Lindbergh also just happened to forget his son’s dog that slept under the crib every night. (Townsend 11.)

None of them get what they want. Curley’s wife ends up dead and Candy and Crooks end up with nowhere to go but back to the ranch and a life where they are hated and shunned. All because of something they cannot control, their gender, their age, and their race. Everyone deserves an equal chance at their dream, but that is not how life works. Both now and in the 1930’s, the minories face challenges that others do not.

Curley is overly protective of his wife, which causes his wife to be lonely because no one will talk to her because she is “bad news”. Steinbeck uses ageism, sexism, and racism from the early 20’s to prove that anyone can be

What Mary lacks to see is that her parents love her with all their heart, but her viewpoint is her parents don’t understand her. The reason being is since Hana knows very little english Mary and her can not have quality talks with her and Taro spends most a his days at the shop so he is never home. In this case Hana and Taro are the people who will do anything for another person. Sadly, Mary feels like her parents could care less about her and starts thinking it would be better if she lived her life and they lived their life separate. She truly believed that if this change was made then everyone will be joyful in the long run.

In essence, Alice Walker displayed Dee Johnson as careless, vain and selfish. Dee showed no true emotion to her family, as if they were not related. She was only worried about things that made her happy and did not care what bridges she burned receiving that happiness. Alice Walker used a great deal of dialogue and intriguing diction to show how complex Dee’s personality

We've never lifted a hand. They're insufferable - let's admit it. They come and go when they like; they treat us as if we were offspring. They're spoiled and we're spoiled." The parents say to each other that they never discipline their children, which could be a cause for the kids’ addictions.

First, the comparison between Thoreau and Francois, they both believed they should make people or animals discover things by themselves. In call of the wild, the first freezing night he stayed with the other huskies, he didn’t know how to keep warm. Thoreau forced him to sleep outside, in the book it described as “when he went in，they shouted angrily and threw things at him”(11). After Buck finally found the way, “‘What did I say？’ shouted Francois to Perrault, when he saw Buck come up out of the snow. ‘That Buck learns quickly’” (11).

“You are alone”, “You have no friends nobody likes me”, “You’re so ugly”, “Why would anybody want to be your friend”, “You can’t do anything right”, “how could you get the scholarship they’re all smarter than you”, “How dumb can you be?” “She’s so pretty, sucks that you can never look like that,” says the thoughts that goes on in my head all day. Having these kinds of thoughts in my head has really made me feel alone for many years in my life. Because of these insecurities I wasn’t able to make her a close friend I was in able to go out with my friends, have long conversations, and I wasn’t able to stand up for myself. I became a follower. I was looking for someone to be my friend and I didn’t really care and because of that I fell into a

Another example is the letter addressed to the Crane family, “Didn’t you ever see an idiot child before? Some people just shouldn’t have children should they”? (4) This shows that she is envious of the family because they provide each other with company and they love each other, “ most infatuated young parents she had ever known”. Whereas Miss Strangeworth lives all alone. In short, these letters have proved that since she is jealous of her victims she tries to disrupt their way of living so she can feel superior.

She also struggles with jealousy, due to the feeling that Dee has an easier life. Maggie is a nervous and unstable individual; she is a figure of purity, unstained by selfishness or complex emotional needs.
