The Landlady: A Short Story

This was a guy that she actually wanted to be with and spend time with. “While her first two husbands are domineering. Janie’s third husband is easy-going and reluctantly willing to accept Janie as an equal.”(Merriam Webster go.galegroup.com) This helps prove that Janie didn’t love her first two husbands, thought they were too controlling, and that Tea Cake treated Janie as an equal.Tea Cake also appreciated Janie for who she is “Not only does he appreciate Janie’s beauty, intelligence, and independence, but he also shows her tenderness, trust and respect.” (Dilbeck 102). Tea Cake allowed Janie to speak freely and be herself around him. When Janie went to court after killing Tea Cake,

Strangeworth is at the store and is talking to one of her neighbors, and is silently judging them, the author states “Don and Helen Crane were really the two most infatuated young parents she had ever known, she thought indulgently” (2). The word “Indulgently” infers that Miss. Strangeworth is not being completely honest and genuine with the Crane family, and while she is acting friendly in person, she feels that they aren’t good parents, and this foreshadows the judgmental letter she later sends to them. When Miss. Strangeworth is admiring her precious roses the author states “ Miss.

This marriage could be said to be Janie’s best. Unlike previous times, Janie had finally learned to always care for her loved one. In one particular scene, Tea Cake had left to gamble and win money for the two of them, and Janie’s behaviour during this time is explained as, “Janie waited till midnight without worrying, but after that she began to be afraid. So she got up and sat around scared and miserable. Thinking and fearing all sorts of dangers… She rather found herself angry at imaginary people who might try to criticize” (Hurston 125).

George prohibits Lennie from petting mice, making Lennie sad. While Lennie killing mice is a bad thing, Carlson killing Candy’s dog is actually isn’t. Carlson shoots Candy’s beloved dog to stop it from enduring any more suffering. Carlson recognizes the love that Candy feels for his dog, and lets Candy know that the way he would shoot him: “‘...He wouldn’t feel nothing...He wouldn’t even quiver’” (Steinbeck 45). Candy’s acquiescence to this act is not one of cruelty

However, marrying Tea Cake enabled her to be free from the submissive female role she was living -- “her shadow existEnce” (Kaplan 2304). After getting to know Tea Cake more, he teaches her how to play checkers, “he set it up and began to show her and she found herself glowing inside” (95). Janie’s previous husbands would have never played checkers with her because they believed she is too stupid to understand it and that her only role is to keep them happy, not herself happy. Tea Cake allows her to feel free from the female role of being in the home. She glows because she realizes she has been oppressed her entire life and is just now starting to discover true

For example, “The Diary of Anne Frank” states, “It may be damp and lopsided, but there’s probably not a more comfortable hiding place in all of Amsterdam. … Yesterday mother felt well enough to cook split-pea soup for the first time, but then she was downstairs talking and forgot all about it” (Frank 374). Although the text does not directly state Anne’s optimism helped her mother recover, it is inferred that if Anne hadn’t been so grateful and appreciative, her mother would’ve felt negatively about the Annex too, for she had been forced to keep her family there. In addition, “The Diary of Anne Frank” also states, “So much has happened it’s as if the whole world has suddenly turned upside down. But as you can see, Kitty I’m still alive, and that’s the main thing, Father says” (Frank 373).

Looking at George and Lennie’s relationship, both of them have a sense of making sure that the other is happy. George tells Lennie that he is not allowed to play with the dead mice, but he adds that the “first chance I get I’ll give you a pup” thus displaying how George cares about Lennie’s happiness since Lennie loves puppies. Vise Vera, whenever Lennie makes a mistake the first thing he says is “George’ll be mad” (page 92) as he considers George’s emotions. On the contrary, in “Your Mouth is Lovely” the step-mother does not care about the girl’s happiness. Her main concern is rather to “teach [the girl] to be a human being among human beings” (page 263) instead of showering her with love.

Mainly because he is a small celebrity being Arthur's nephew. As sir gawain stays here a singled out maiden wants to seem to become a little more attached to Gawain than all the others were.

The next morning after his stay Sir Gawain rides off from the castle and sets off on his Journey in the center of the abyss, The chapel.

This shows how free will affected Pandora in a negative way to the plot. In Pyche and Eros a large part of the story was based on free will. Psyche was convinced by her sisters to check if her fate to marry a terrible monster has come true. So she snuck into her husbands room "and when her husband has fallen into his deep sleep, she went silently to his bedside and held the light above him." She happily found out he was not a monster but she mistakenly "Leaned over, accedenltly tipping the candle."

More importantly, the relationship teaches her the meaning of togetherness. Tea Cake and Janie did good agricultural work, though Tea Cake was not as wealthy as the two men, Lorgan and Joe. Admittedly, they argued because of Nunkie, who flirted with Tea Cake in a party and because of Tea’s small secrecy. However, after the conflicts melted, they relied on each other in the hurricane and flood. Her insistance of freedom and love is amplified in the sentence, “they stared at the dark, but their eyes were watching God.” She chose to “watching God” and follow the belief in her innermost, despising the doctrine of “watching the white.” In conclusion, Their Eyes Were Watching God tells the change from a principled African-American girl who observe the cautions of Nanny to an independent female figure pursuing freedom and love.

In the midst of things after Curley’s wife had died Candy had stayed behind and scolded at her “You done it, di’n’t you? I s’pose you’re glad. Ever’body knowed you’d mess things up. You wasn’t no good. You ain’t no good now, you lousy tart”(95) Candy then goes on about how he “…could of hoed in the garden and washed dishes for them guys” (96) In this scene, Steinbeck exposes that Curley’s wife actually possessed more power in death rather than in life.

In Maycomb County the people spread rumors about Boo Radley because he is mysterious and stays inside his house. He keeps to himself and people believe he is a killer who should be locked up. They believe the rumors they hear and just because they never see him they construct an image in their heads that he is dangerous. In truth Boo just wants to have friends and looks over the Finch children. When Bob Ewell attacks Jem and Scout Boo is the one who saves them and Atticus is very grateful (Lee 276).

Diego Saavedra Mrs.Metzker English 3 01/19/2017 Symbol of Love Cheating is a choice, not a mistake. In the story “Ethan Frome” by Edith Wharton. Ethan is committed himself already to one woman named Zeena, however, Ethan does start to fall in love with another lady named Mattie, who also happens to be the cousin of Zeena. In the story, there is a scene where Mattie and Ethan were cooking and about to have dinner, when the cat knocks over Zeena 's pickle dish, all these events are very key in the symbol of the story. The braking of the dish resembles how fragile a marriage could be.

After the marriage with Logan failed, Janie thought that Joe was the one. He turned out to be very controlling and possessive of her. He did not allow her to do anything and thought that “a pretty doll-baby lak [her] is made to sit on de front porch and rock and fan [herself] and eat p’taters dat other folks plant just special for [her]”(Hurston 29). Janie realized that she should be able to have some type of freedom in her marriage, and not feel

hide the posts outright, zapping them off the page with a few clicks,” when her readers comment below that they don’t mind, and in fact, enjoy, seeing the occasional cute couple picture. Goldfarb also tries to persuade her readers using loaded words and language. She paints herself as a cool hipster-esque socialite. She talks about how she regrets sharing tender moments with her beau as he “sipped a cappuccino at [their] local coffee shop” and letting her followers catch a glimpse of “[his] hands dripping honey on the manchego cheese.” She carefully crafted her words to create an air of mystery and urban flair, but only succeeded in making herself look pretentious and self centered. One of her readers decided to tactfully remind her in the comments section, “Did you really think your readers wanted to know about your personal life at all?” She uses a more emotionally loaded fallacy, bandwagon appeal, to force her audience into seeing her side.
