The tone that she uses in her piece seems to be sarcasm and this sarcasm is what leads me to the assumptions I make and the way I read her essay. She obviously wants to go to school and become economically independent and be able to support herself. I think that she is not happy with her current situation of being a mom and a wife and feels unappreciated. She stays home and does all the things she lists for her husband, but she resents this role in society that she is in. I assume that she wants a divorce from her husband but because of the role that society has placed on her, but she is unable to get one because she is very dependent on him.
She claims she has stood for worst and she had no right to speak then and has no right to speak now. Mary declares she is even afraid to be writing down what occurred. This is a crucial thing for Mary to admit. Mary’s writing is very precious to her; It is where she writes what she pleases and where she finds her voice. Yet the horrid act of violence leaves her fearful about recording the event.

Our lives aren’t furtive, just our feelings towards people like you” (50). Andre’s mother is repeatedly bashed at by Cal because of her “disapproval” on Andre’s homosexuality.

Also that she needs to stop trying to be who she is not. Her mother chose this advice because Birdy is always saying that she wants to be something that she's not. For example, What page is when she says the hobbies she wants to do? What page did she say the she wants to be lower class? Her mother also told her this advice because she has to get married but she is rejecting every guy and is always complaining about it.
Through the voice of the speaker, Livesay complains that she feels society has pressured her into a domestic life. She is resentful of this pressure, as she feels that it has held her back from achieving her goals, most notably success as a poet. In the last stanza, the lines, “And so the whole that I possess/Is still much less” highlight the fact that the speaker feels she has not achieved anything close to the greatness of the Emilys. She furthers this resentment by comparing herself to three women that she respects: Emily Bronte, a novelist, Emily Carr, a painter, and Emily Dickinson, a poet. None of the three Emilys married or had children, whereas Livesay married and had two children.
THE YELLOW WALLPAPER In Charlotte Perkins Gilman “The Yellow wallpaper” the narrator undergoes a nervous breakdown and was kept in a room with the intention of curing her sickness. It was quite obvious that the narrator needed people around her. She needed to go outside to see how much love is in the world but instead her husband, and therapist insisted that the only way to cure her from the sickness was to keep her away from the world, in an empty room pasted with horrible looking yellow wallpaper. Julian Fleenor argues that the method of treatment in which the narrator undergoes is not intended to cure her but to punish her. Overall, the narrator was a victim of cultural construction that, from a 21st century perspective appears to be punishment more so than therapy.
I will compare what Zinsser’s outlook on the category was and if Montross had the same outlook or if she didn’t. Starting off with repetition, Zinsser saw that as the writer your job was too keep the reader as interested as possible and wanting them to not the close the book until they reached the end of the story. When repetition is brought up in reading it is like your mother when they keep on nagging you to do the chores and repeating it over and over again until you do so. You hate it then and are sure to hate it also when it comes into your reading and the author is not even your mother. You are not going to keep on reading if the book can be done in the first five pages and the rest of the pages is just repetition of those first five pages.

For example, turning down Mr. Collins may demonstrateher as a no-brainer woman among the society at that time. But by rejecting him, this suggests that Elizabeth places her own judgment over social pressures to comfort. In spite of the fact that she has been forced to get married with Mr. Collins by her mother, she persists to her strong position of rejecting his proposal. Plus, although Lady Catherine tries to strong-arm her into rejecting any proposal from Mr. Darcy, Elizabeth gets angry and asks her to get away. Hence, it can be noticed how Austen stresses on the empowerment of women through Elizabeth’s
