Without nagging, she influenced her husband.

One could easily see that Scout is the mature girl she is because of her wise father, Atticus Finch. Atticus taught her to be open minded, and to treat every human at the same level.

She is the epitome of the dream woman just like the American Dream suggests if you work hard you have the chance to be happy and live a successful life. Dexter believes if he has Judy he will be happy and satisfied with his life.
The female characters in novel are on an equal level with the male characters in the book which is why the female characters are as equally corrupt as the male characters.

She believes Tom will marry her and carry her out of the ghostly valley of ashes and into the glamorous West Egg. During the party Tom and Myrtle have at their apartment, Myrtle says “I’m going to make a list of all the things I’ve got to get. A massage and a wave, and a collar for the dog, and one of those cute little ash-trays where you touch a spring, and a wreath with a black silk bow for mother’s grave that’ll last all summer”(36).

David Belfance Pd.2 11/7/12 Mrs. Stephens Desire of Money All through out history people have wanted to marry people who can provide for them. In the time of cavemen the women tried to marry the most prolific hunter so that she wouldn’t starve. The same is true in modern society except that hunting is replaced with the income that they have. For example, people are so attracted to celebrities because of how successful and wealthy they are, along with pro athletes. This concept is shown by Daisy, in the novel The Great Gatsby written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, who personifies this trait extraordinarily well.
The romantic element of “courtly love” appears when Lancelot, the greatest of Arthur’s knights, falls in love with Guinevere, the king’s wife.

Aphra "approached Anys with a mixture of fear and awe, and perhaps some envy." p39 She "knows more than we do" Aphra's sees her as having "too much pride...for an orphan" and is jealous of her sexual attractiveness.

Throughout the piece the author uses specific words to emphasize something or give it more life. One example from The Shipping News is when Proulx writes “As a child he invented stratagems to deflect stares; a smile, down-cast gaze, the right hand darting up to cover the chin,” and in there she includes words like ‘stratagems’, and ‘darting’ that conveys how the character had different tactics when being glanced at because he was so uncomfortable with his chin. The diction she uses conveys simple ideas into something far beyond that; she includes detailed observation to enhance her piece of work. Another good example of Proulx’s diction is where is emphasizes the size of Quoyle’s chin, “The monstrous chin, a freakish shelf jutting from the lower face.” She used the word ‘monstrous’, meaning that something that is extremely large and often seen in a way that is ugly and frightening, instead of a word like ‘big’ or ‘large’. The word she chose has more of an impact than the other more simple words I listed.
