The narrative Bronte uses as well as her description of the settings and the treatment that Jane receives from all the other characters all aid in creating a sense of sympathy towards Jane. One of the main ways in which Bronte creates sympathy for Jane in the first two chapters of the novel is through the characters; their opinions, thoughts, and actions towards her. Jane’s aunt, Mrs Reed, is her mother’s brother’s wife. Jane was sent to her uncle when her parents died and then got left with Mrs Reed when her uncle passed away as well. Mrs Reed views Jane as a burden, she treats Jane horribly as is shown in the beginning of the first chapter, “…she had dispensed from joining the group… contented, happy little children.” When Jane tried to defend herself Mrs Reed disregards her and tells her not to talk back as it is rude, without giving Jane a chance to explain her side of the story.
However, there is a lot to her past that does not allow her to properly see her own reality. Stout states that, “In reaction to relatively trivial stresses the person traumatized long ago may truly feel that danger is imminent again” (383). However in Julia’s case this is false. Julia believed that adults forgetting their childhood was normal. In Julia’s world she thought the she was living a normal life.
Natalie Tillero Mrs. Lassiter SOC101 3/14/13 How postpartum depression did affect my way of socializing? This paper explains the symptoms of postpartum depression and it may affect a new mother’s outlook for life. Postpartum depression is an illness that affects many women and even my-self, after pregnancy. A number of people think that it is a myth, that women who had a baby can’t get depressed, or get the “baby blue’s”. Research shows that this illness is capable of transforming a woman and the way that she socializes within the community, family, and even friends.
The woman rudely responded with, “What do you want, grandma?” It was Christmas time so I think that was the reason why she tied Phoenix’s shoe. Phoenix still doesn’t let this bring her down. Lastly, Phoenix arrives at her destination and is greeted rudely. She thinks that she has seen Phoenix before and demanded Phoenix to speak up and give her personal information. She asked Phoenix was she deaf as she took a moment to respond and the nurse identifies Phoenix as “Old aunt Phoenix.” The nurse also gets frustrated with Phoenix and her memory loss.
Since we already knew that she was battling depression, we can conclude that this was caused by the death of her husband the previous winter. These “spirits,” which are actually metaphors for her depression, show up once again in the wintertime, reminding her of the
ALL SUMMER IN A DAY. The story is about a class of school children on Venus, which in this story is a world of constant rainstorms, where the sun is only visible for two hours every seven years. One of the children, Margot, moved to Venus from Earth five years earlier, and she is the only one in her class to remember sunshine, since it shone regularly on earth. She describes the sun as "a penny", or "like a fire in the stove", and the other children, being too young to have ever seen it themselves, refuse to believe her accounting of it. Out of jealousy, she is bullied and ostracized by the other students and finally locked in a closet during the time the sun is due to come out.
As she got older, she is still afriad of the Radley’s place. Though they never saw “Boo” the stories were what haunted her. Another example would be, the people in Maycomb was also scared of that house. “A baseball hit into the Radley’s yard it was a lost ball and no questions asked.”-(9). The quote explained how that no body wanted to go to the Radley’s place because people were scared of it.
An example of Evyn being unintelligent was when her so-called friends, Andrea’s group, calls her Evelyn and doesn’t talk to her unless it’s to ask about updates with Ajax, she doesn’t realize that they’re just using her. Evyn was also, very inconsiderate and selfish. She didn’t seem to notice how happy her father, Birdie was after he had proposed to Eleni. Evyn doesn’t seem to care what his father felt and made it harder for him. “Bounce” was an interesting book that showed problems that actually happen to 13 year olds.
Helen replied saying, “No” and adding on that she sings instead with a touch of prideness in her voice. Immediately Kath got and jealous and said there are no singing clubs in this school followed by saying, “guess you’re out of luck”. In this topic, Kath’s arrogance once again is illustrated as she embarrasses Helen. Kath’s arrogance goes hand in hand with her selfishness throughout the story. Secondly, Kath has a selfish characteristic where she tends to change things so that things seem more suitable for her.
In the story, Mink and Mrs. Morris have such a poor relationship because of the lack in relationship technology has created between them. Mink is playing “Invasion” while her mother is just in the house letting it take care of itself, instead of being with her daughter and building a relationship. She talks to her friend Helend on the “audio-visor” (174) and sitting in “the electric relaxing chair” (175) while Mink is out helping “Drill” invade planet Earth. Throughout The Illustrated Man, it is clear that Bradbury believes that technology and its dependency will only lead to destruction and hardship. He is extremely anti-technology and he makes that clear through his multiple examples of technology replacing relationships and ultimately causing damage and even death.
