She was born in Inverness, Scotland sometime in 1896 or 1897. She had two sisters, both of whom married, although she herself never did. Her father was a produce dealer. Her sister, Mairi MacDonald, reports that Tey was an active and happy young person who didn’t care overly much for her studies but took great pleasure in gymnastics. Known as “Bessie MacK” to her school friends, she would “scamper off to the cloakroom, where upon an old set of parallel bars - housed there for no apparent reason - she delighted herself and others by turning somersaults, and performing various other acrobatics in a highly expert manner.” Tey attended the Royal Academy in Inverness and then the Anstey Physical Training College in Birmingham from 1915-1918.

..Explain The Feelings Of The Two Poets Towards Their Younger Brother Or Sister In the poems ‘Mid-term Break’ by Seamus Heaney and ‘Poem for My Sister’ by Liz Lochhead feelings about a younger sibling are expressed. In ‘Poem for My Sister’ Liz Lochhead uses shoes and feet as a metaphor for life and experiences. ‘My little sister likes to try my shoes’ seems to echo the well known saying ‘put yourself in someone else’s shoes’ meaning in their place. This shows that her sister likes to try out being in the same position as Lochhead: as an adult. “She says they fit perfectly, but wobbles on their high heels, they’re hard to balance” shows that Lochhead’s sister wants the shoes to fit but isn’t steady in them, meaning that although she wishes to be an adult she isn’t ready yet.

In Harmers opening sentence she makes reference to a personal experience that she had while she was holidaying at a hotel in Bali, she says she watched young Balinese girls with their “torsos wrapped in golden fabric, hair elaborately styled, nails painted, eyes fully made up and lips stained ruby red” while they performed alongside their big sisters and mothers, dancing with sheer talent. Harmer later says that after a conversation at the bar afterwards that everyone agreed that it was beautiful to see these girls connecting with their culture, no one there was ranting that these young girls were being sexualized or that there was any self “grooming” from paedophiles in the audience. This statement shows her comparing the moral panic surrounding the child beauty pageants in an analogy with the use of this tradition. Harmer then

In 1924, Zelda Fitzgerald is quoted as saying, "I like the jazz generation and I hope my daughter's generation will be jazzier." At this time, the "flapper" became the symbol of the age. Young women were leaving behind the respectability of their mothers and entering in to a new world of sexuality, shorter skirts and make-up. They were going to dance halls, movies; they were smoking and flaunting their bodies before everyone. Why had these young women turned their backs on everything that their mothers and grandmothers had believed in and built? Is it because they see they can make decisions and choices on their own and stand by the consciences?
As a child, Walker believes that she can get whatever she wants or make people like her only by being a beautiful little girl. She shows that she is confident about this idea at the age of two and a half when she wants to go to the fair with her father and tells him "Take me daddy, I'm the prettiest” (Alice Walker, 150) while she parades around wearing a beautiful dress. As children, people often imitate the things they see, but they are not taken seriously, and many adults see these behaviors as being “child’s play”. Walker is imitating behaviors she has viewed from older women in her community and actresses in movies that she watched. The behavior that Walker showcases during the first stage of innocence is similar to the behaviors the character
