She places most of her concern in the ‘Big Muddy’, trying to avoid any fighting between the Terrells and Hennesseys. Unlike Pat, Julie has relied on herself to make her life successful. Her speech, the way she carries herself, how she addresses other characters proves her concern for each person. Julie is also a very stern woman.

In her view women were not different than men.

Vanessa Waarvik Mrs. Doucette English Honors / Pre – AP 27 January 2012 Quoyle Analysis Essay Everyone endures ridicule from others, but what most people don’t realize is how much it actually affects the person you’re ‘teasing’. This ‘teasing’ can lower many things in a person including their confidence and pride in themselves. In The Shipping News, Annie Proulx portrays Quoyle as a very self conscious character because of his appearance by using diction, imagery, and figurative language. Using diction Proulx implements words that describe Quoyle as a character who is always concerned about his appearance because of wandering eyes and his highly noticeable features.

Friends and family may see someone that is perfectly normal, beautiful even, but as far that individual woman is concerned, the image of beauty the world proliferates has become restrictive and unachievable (Fox, 1997). Women these days simply cannot see or appreciate their own beauty because they do not look the models they see on billboards and on t.v. Because women are criticized on their appearance more than men and standards of female beauty are substantially higher and more uncompromising, women are much more self-critical than men (The Dove Campaign for Real Beauty, n.d.). Women are repeatedly assailed with images of the ultimate face and figure on TV, magazines, and billboards that make extraordinary good looks seem common and anything short of perfection seem strange and ugly (The Dove Campaign for Real Beauty, n.d.). It has been estimated that young women now see more images of exceptionally beautiful women in one day than their mothers saw throughout their entire childhood (The Dove Campaign for Real Beauty, n.d.).
‘Beauty and the Bloke’ is a light hearted, argumentative article, by Cosmo Landesman. It attempts to convince the audience that men and woman are breaking free of old fashioned stereotypes. The author’s opening line ‘perfume, waxing, cosmetic surgery’ is deliberately misleading as one automatically thinks he is referring to women. He then shocks us by stating ‘nineties man is being forced to go all the way to improve his body image’. It is clear the article is aimed at males as uses the term ‘we’ regularly, ‘in the past all we could do was surrender...’ and refers to males throughout the article ‘sooner or later, every man...’ ‘...I took it like a man’ ‘It’s a brave new world in which man can have what he wants...’ Landesman also states ‘we fortysomethings’ indicating the article is aimed at like minded 40 year old males like himself.
That is the definition of what beauty is in the show. This is a nearly impossible goal to achieve for the average girl watching this show. This definition of beauty comes from the media and the media is basically the main characters since they set all the standards of how to live life to be considered “cool” in their world of money and class. They are the ones that gossip about one another even if they are considered best friends over something as simple, as the fact that they don’t have their hair done or are not wearing the correct brand name dress.We will be using ideological criticism to analyze three main woman characters in the show;Blair Waldorf, Serena Van Der Woodsen, and Jenny Humphrey.

Looks can be deceiving and I believe this statement plays a great role in this story. The main character, Mathilde, encounters a situation where she feels as though she belongs in a higher class based off her beautiful looks. She is neither wealthy nor comes from a family of wealth but feels as though she deserves as much because of her appearance. Unsatisfied with her lifestyle, Mathilde noticeably expresses her dilemma by complaining to her husband, Monsieur Loisel that she doesn’t want to attend the special event because she has nothing of higher class to wear. Mathilde then borrowed her rich friend Madame Forestier’s necklace, and at that moment, I could already foreshadow something bad to happen.
Mrs. Mooney is the ringleader of Polly’s indecency, and manages Polly under implicit control. When Polly begins to interact with Mr. Doran, she is conscious of her mother keeping watch.
