Myriah Wiseman Mrs. Whitney Modern American Lit/Analytical Questions “Winter Dreams” April 8, 2010 Judy Jones at the age eleven was spoiled, snotty, wealthy and very mean. I feel her treatment to the nurse was very unnecessary. She has some anger management and almost hit the man. I think Dexter quit his job because he wanted to move on in his life, he was sick of the life he was living and wanted to move on. He wanted to start fresh and it was almost believed that he was “to old” for his job.
After reading select parts of The Odyssey, I found that there is really no way to generalize the women in Homer’s Odyssey because they all have their own distinct traits that make each of them great, strong, and powerful women. A very powerful woman is Arete. She is as powerful as the king, Alcinous. Her daughter Nausicaa displays great intelligence in handling Odysseus despite being so young. These women I speak of above are great women in a good sort of way but there are also some very bad women that still have some amazing qualities.
Montag is her family, but she doesn't consider him as much as a family compaired to the parlor walls. Another example that Mildred should start thinking for herself is she pulled the alarm on her own husband, Montag. Montag did something against the law and Mildred didn't want to get into trouble so as a result of it, "she pulled the alarm" (Bradbury 115). She lost her husband because she listened to the
She was actually a very intelligent woman but chose to play dumb. Just as Marilyn told her fiancés father,” men prefer this way.” She was a very
Nora’s father took hold over her life by molding her to behave in the manner that he saw fit, “‘When I lived at home with Papa, he told me all of his opinions, so I had the same ones too; or if they were different I hid them, since he wouldn’t have cared for that’” (Ibsen 747). Nora did everything to please the men in her life. This attitude started with her father and then eventually carried on into her marriage, which only left her unhappy in her life decisions. Nora gave up who she was and what she believed in so that she could be seen as the perfect daughter and wife. By leaving her family and starting a life of her own Nora gains the ability to control her own life and form her own ideas and opinions.
You’re the one with the wretched heart.’” (Hosseini 27) After her mother’s death, Mariam faces a father who refuses to acknowledge her due to her harami status, and she is sent off to be married to a strange man in a different city just so her father doesn’t have to see her. Her husband, Rasheed, abuses her for their twenty-seven year marriage because she is unable to carry a child to term. Later, when Rasheed is determined to kill Laila, Mariam must rely on her inner strength to save her friend. Through all of her hardships, Mariam faces life with the grace and acceptance of what God hands her because of her strength. Laila, additionally, had to face the death of the man she loved and her parents in an explosion during the war.
“Sirrah, your father's dead; And what will you do now? How will you live?”. I just finished reading MacBeth by Shakespeare, it was rather hard to understand because of all of the vocabulary. But I know for a fact that Lady MacBeth would be just the worst type of mother, she said she would kill them! I don’t even like saying kill because of where my husband is, I miss him so much I blame this stupid war.
Edna’s husband has a tone of disbelief. He says, “Out! Exclaimed her husband with genuine consternation in his voice.” He cannot believe that Edna does not care about what her husband thinks. He cannot believe that Edna thinks she can just go out for no reason instead of staying home, and performing her womanly duties. According to the unwritten rules of society in the eighteen hundreds, women, and/or wives are supposed to stay home and take care of the family.
The show took me to another level about actual feeling what this would be like in a real situation for me. The patient asks her husband to end her life because she had only six months to live with the cancer she was diagnosed with according to the doctors. The husband finds it very hard to talk about with his wife so he would leave her side whenever she starts to talk about it. They argue about it constantly, the wife tells the doctor it is still the same, you still fight about the same things even when you are dying. She says this because her husband would not talk about how he felt with her about her dying.
He figured that since he comes from a family background of living one hundred plus years, that he might be alone and lonely throughout his whole life. So he marries an old relative, Zeena, who came and helped his mother after his dad died. Throughout Ethan Frome, every character seems to be frustrated with something, and they all don’t know how to deal with it. “The theme of frustration is reinforced by the inarticulateness of all the characters in Ethan Frome.” (Ciccarelli 128). His dad died first and then Ethan had to stop going to school in order to help his mother.
