Rather than focusing on what she assumed Virginia wanted to hear she catered to Virginia’s every need, thoughts, worries, fears, and pain. Then surprisingly Jennifer confided in Virginia about her own personal experience. Both in heartfelt tears they said their farewells. Then Virginia was astonished when Jennifer gave her personal cell number and said, “To feel free to use it whenever she needed it!” “We are closed on the weekend, but someone is always on call. I just know how scary that first step is and I want you to know that you’re defiantly not alone.” September 5, 2011 at 8:58 a.m. the room was silenced by the sweet little cry of Claire Hannah Rose.
Montag, at first, is confused by the question, replying with “Am I what?” He then proceeds to his house, reassuring himself that he is indeed happy and there was no question about it. As he keeps seeing Clarisse for quite a bit of time, after his wife's attempted suicide, his view on his happiness begins to alter. He begins to view the world as a bewildering place, where people were doing strange things for unexplainable reasons. When the old woman in the house the firemen were supposed to burn down didn't leave, Montag tried to persuade her to go; that books weren't as important as staying alive. The woman, refusing, lit her house along with herself on fire.
“Sandy wasn’t expecting such a comment, and was surprised at the stabbing pain she felt at hearing it.” pg 18 After hearing her mother say this, Sandy feels downcast by her older sister Marianne, and younger brother Lawrence. Sandy is also controlled by the people surrounding her. She is controlled by her father, Frank, by not wanting to put a foot out of line in fear of being punished. She listens and abides by everything that he says, because of the control he has over her and her siblings. “”I want you kids in bed in an hour.” “Yes, Dad,” Sandy and Marianne said at the same time.” pg.
During the Simon’s (Matt and Marie’s son) birthday party, there were some conversations between Kate, Daniel and Kate, Marie; Marie told Kate to face the truth that Matt’s life was not a failure, and he love his son, his family and the farm. The most important thing that bothered Matt, however, was that Kate cannot forgive Matt and cannot understand him. Daniel also has made some progress (Page 281-282); he tells Kate to look at real world too; also, Daniel point out that Kate had put the story in a place that was too heavy. Actually, Matt did not change after being a famer. He can be a scholar; however, he just found out he like farming, too.
This gives the reader the sense that he really knows what he is talking about and has experienced these gruesome sights. Visual and auditory imagery are also used throughout this poem. Owen saw a man “flound’ring like a man in fire or lime” (12) suffering from the gas and dying a very slow and painful death. In this alone he shows how awful the war was through the man choking and having his skin eaten away from the “lime” (12). He saw things “obscene as cancer” (23) which is a bold image when death for a country is supposed to be sweet and proper.
Because there is only a certain amount of treatment that a body can with stand. Her father starting thinking that he was a burden to his daughter so some of the treatment that he was taking he start refusing but his daughter would not give up on him. There are so many good things to say about Susan Wolf, but the best thing you can say about her is that she is a Angle sent from heaven just for her father. The story about her father death really touched me and after I read it the first time I had to read it again and then tell someone about it. It make you think what could you have possibly done in that situation.
Observant and wise, my mom always said Olga and I had a special connection. Whether it was playing in the backyard or trying to block out her noisy snoring during the night, she was unlike anything else. But as days went on, guilt built up. Our whole family didn’t like to see Olga’s sad, neglected face when we drove away to go on with our daily routines. So after many pleads and pleases to my parents, it wouldn’t just be one bulldog at the Browning household.
A final example is when he sneaks in to see his younger sister Phoebe. Both were happy to see one another. He even “quit worrying about whether they’d catch [him] at home or not” (163). By not caring about whether his parents caught him and going to see Phoebe showed that Holden was searching for a family, and that same feeling of something constant in his life. The reconnections with something have shown his attempts at trying to find that
Examples of this would be how they still looked after their father when he had a stroke even after all the horrible things that he had done to them. Also Rohana still loved her dad even after he abused her and she expressed this by telling Brian about how much she loves her dad. Another example would be how they still thought that their step mother was a nice lady, where most people would have despised their step mother in that situation. For Rohana and Rohani the death of their mother contributed to their experiences. If their mother was still alive they would not have to hide from their father.
Feeling like she is not good enough, Rayona goes out of her way to get his attention and make him want to be with her. About this, Rayona says, “I have tried things on Dad…tears, good grades, writing letters, getting him presents…He’d smile or send me a postcard or promise to call tomorrow and then weeks would pass” (9). Ray’s mom, on the other hand, is present in her life and takes care of her daughter, but Rayona is still often alone. Leaving Rayona at home by herself, her mother goes out and parties. When Ray’s mother, Christine, sneaks out of the hospital, she plans to drive to Tacoma to kill herself and leave Rayona behind.
