Although Dorothea was not a psychologist or therapist of any kind she knew that improving conditions for the mentally ill would help them. In one of her testimonials to legislature she shared this “some may say these things cannot be remedied, these furious maniacs are not to be raised from these base conditions. I know they are…I could give many examples. One such is a young woman who was for years ‘a raging maniac’ chained in a cage and whipped to control her acts and words. She was helped by a husband and wife who agreed to take care of her in their home and slowly she recovered her senses”.
Daphne is also quiet like Laurel but she expresses herself through poetry. It is through this poetry that Laurel finds her fascination with Daphne and tries to become her friend. In the process of trying to get close to Daphne, Laurel ends up mostly freaking her out and pushing her away and she understands, “that two quiet people like us were better off quiet alone” (Packer 40). While Laurel was with her Brownie Troop, she was mostly quiet because she was afraid to speak. Whenever she spoke, her words were only returned with a “shut up” or “whatever”.
She is the epitome of a feminist. Through her writing, she was able to give a voice to women that felt trapped in their marriages and in society. The fact that she was able to draw from her own experiences to mold her characters made her works even stronger. Both “The Storm” and “The Story of an Hour” liberate women from the constraints of society and marriage, while simultaneously drawing from Chopin’s own life. Work Cited Chopin, Kate.
Colbie is amazing singer with a great personality. The concert was pack with just about every seat filled. The reaction of the audience was an amazing, we all were singing and dancing to her songs.

Ada is isolated because she is living in a place that is completely unfamiliar to her and because she is unable to easily communicate with anyone but her daughter. However, not all of Ada’s isolation is forced upon her. Much of Ada’s seclusion is self inflicted. Ada has no desire to interact with the majority of the people on the settlement despite their attempts to get through to her. Camera movement plays a large part in conveying Ada’s isolation.
However, due to the limited population of people that live by the River Dove, there is “very few to love” (4), which ultimately leaves Lucy in a secluded state. Ironically enough, although Lucy appears to be lonesome, she is unaware that she has caught the attention of the speaker. The speaker compares Lucy to a beautiful flower, that is left unwatched, where no one else sees her beauty but him. He uses the metaphor “A violet by a mossy tone Half hidden from the eye” (5-6), where he compares her beauty and innocence to that of a violet. Yet, her fairness is unseen from others as it is “Half hidden from the eye” (6).

As the music played, I could not help but remember all of the memories that I have with my mom.
I think the words play to a part of us as kids and adults that we hope to find our own “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”. The words are not the only element of emotion as the music in the background sneaking its way into our ears not even registering while we watch her beautiful face but telling us how to feel. This influential music is played by a full orchestra and composed by Harold Arlen played by the MGM orchestra. Isael "IZ" Kamakawiwoʻole is a performer from Hawaii that lived and died there. His performance of Somewhere over the rainbow was introduced to me in march 2011 after a dear friend passed away.
