The text does not directly state her race, but I can infer that she’s a white woman who lives in Oklahoma who talks with a slight southern accent. We learn early on in the play from her husband Beverly Weston having a conversation with Johnna, an interviewing maid, that she has mouth cancer, which may or may not be a factor in her physical appearance. “I didn’t say?
An example of a relationship turned futile in the face of marginalisation is Curley's wife. Steinbeck writes her as the most complex character, showing us three sides to her. In section two Candy describes her as, 'a tart', which gives us the impressin that she sleeps around so much that everyone knows about it. This point is further reinforced by Curley, who is always looking for her. Steinbeck portrays him as paranoid and insecure for which he overcompensates for with aggression.
Cosmetic beauty allows you to be diverse and express yourself, it also allows you to try to test and come up with many different looks. Generally speaking one day you could change your look, and be chic and sexy, while on another day you could calm your appearance down and have a more innocent and sweet look. Confidence is the key in the cosmetic outlook. Many females feel more beautiful and nice about themselves due to the fact that they have makeup on; you could say that cosmetics help people feel more self assured about themselves. In today’s generation people are a lot more judgmental, therefore many women believe they have imperfections and flaws.
Melissa da Ponte ENG 102 A02 Fiction Essay Final Draft “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?” Connie is a pretty, fifteen year old girl with long dark blonde hair, and like many girls her age, she cares only about how she looks and how people look at her and see her.

Then the author uses the word “magic” to describe puberty as if it is something spectacular. Once puberty occurs the girl is accused of having a “great big nose and fat legs” which are looked down at in modern society. Even though she is also acknowledged as “healthy” and “tested intelligent” which is something most try and fail to achieve she goes around “apologizing” for her looks. This plainly demonstrates negative peer pressure since all she can focus on is the negative aspects of her life and no matter how she good she is in everything else “everyone saw a fat nose on thick legs”. Some advised her to “play coy” a trait many girls go by while others told her to be “hearty”, fit in with the boys, neither of these were her.
Elizabeth Perle McKenna left a high-powered position in publishing to search for the neglected parts of her life. In writing When Work Doesn’t Work Anymore, she found lots of baby boomers like herself who had bought into what they call the New Oppression – hard earned success.

Addie's genuine character as a living human will be a mystery; a few may view her as someone who was playing with the devil and others might see her as someone with admiration because she was one to believe that actions speak louder than words. The different characters throughout the novel and the difficulty stream-of-consciousness method all work together to create a novel that is open-ended and a matter of understanding. There is no intent truth to the narrative any more than there is any ideal certainty to the events that happen in it. The way that Faulkner uses the multiple narrators serves the purpose of trying to figure out what is the truth of these events that took place throughout the story and this is what makes this novel such a success. Faulkner desires to enchant his audience and grasp their mind.
Never As It Seems Donald Taylor ENG125: Introduction to Literature Instructor Maria Rasimas April 26, 2015 Conflicts and literary techniques are present in any literature, including poems and short stories. Identifying them gives readers a more understanding of what the story is about. “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been” by Joyce Carol Oates, 1966 and “Good Country People” by Flannery O’Connor, 1953”, are two short stories that have a similar conflict, mainly individual against another individual, but their selfishness and pride created issues that neither saw coming until it was too late. In both literary stories, climax played an important part of determining the outcome of the conflict, the crisis rose to a rising increase in tension which in turn made the story’s turning point near the end. Fate played a secondary part, both girls were placed on an unusual situation in their lives where they had little or no control of.
Miss Bingley Miss Bingley is a foolish and scheming character. She is shown in such a light that she is the complete opposite to that of Elizabeth Bennett; she is desperate for Darcy’s attention. "'Eliza Bennett,' said Miss Bingley, when the door was closed on her, 'is one of those young ladies who seek to recommend themselves to the other sex, by undervaluing their own...but, in my opinion, it is a paltry device, a very mean art.'" Miss Bingley immediately shows the reader her distaste to Elizabeth by trying to show Darcy what she believes is Elizabeth’s scheming character when in fact it is her that is the one trying to fool Darcy and the reader into thinking lowly of Elizabeth. Miss Bingley uses lots of pauses in her sentence possibly to show the reader that she may be pausing to see the effect her words may have on who she is speaking to.
