Name: Emma Glavatchi In the heat of the night In the beginning of this story Gillespie thought of Virgil as he would of thought of any other coloured person, but as soon as he found out that he was wrong, Virgil was a very gifted detective with lots of skills. When Tibbs was first taken in to see Gillespie, Gillespie was yelling and screaming at Tibbs for no reason but Virgil did not break down to the harassment and proved Gillespie wrong by showing him his ID card that proved he was a cop. I think that Virgil earned a little respect from Gillespie , by showing him that he was calm and mature. As the story unfolded Gillespie saw more and more of Virgil’s good qualities. Gillespie saw that Virgil was calm, educated, smart, paid attention to detail, and was good at his job.

CASE STUDY Sara was a young married woman and mother of one son, under the age of two. Her faith played an important role in her life and her husband’s work within the Church meant they were living some distance from Sara’s family and friends. Her isolation and lack of local support network had made her aware of a breakdown in communication between herself and her husband. She felt hurt and upset that he wasn’t sharing important decision making with her and was anxious and concerned how this might impact on their future. While I was aware of differences in our age, marital status and religious beliefs, I was able to tune-in to Sara’s world and her experiences of it.
When Proctor and Parris were arguing, she was there to calm things down. For instance, she recognizes that if Proctor leaves the church it would not be good for him and begs him to “Clasp his (Proctor) hand, and make your peace (with Parris)” (TC-31). Throughout the play, the only person who is consistently level-headed amongst all of the chaos in Salem is Rebecca Nurse. Rebecca Nurse wise words weren’t always appreciated however. Later on, when Rebecca Nurse
The holidays and birthdays they felt lonely cause they was not with family and friends, instead the white tell them what they can and cannot do. We are much better than that. They see and hear things in the prison cell the beating, lies, torture. When they take all of your dignity from you, what will you have left, just a number? Some don’t know how to feel to be hug, kiss, and love because they were locked up so long.
Madera’s desire to overcome her language barrier caused her to decide to go back to college and take English courses (79). Madera had taken her weakness into her own hands and decided to fix it by going back to school. She realizes that the way she speaks does not show the type of person that she, but her writing does (80). “The Bar of Gold” also talks about how the protagonist, Weeping John, is his own constraint, and because of that he is not able to move forward. In this folktale, Weeping John is constantly sick because he is worried about how his family will survive after his death (Gold 148).
When she had doubt about Martin she spoke to the priest, her sisters and also Martin’s uncle, but it wasn’t acted upon. Even though she had doubt she still lived with him because she was afraid of the consequences of her admitting that she has accepted a stranger into her home and bed. During the trial when she spoke up about knowing the man she was with wasn’t Martin she did the right thing and come up front with it. Even though she was being just she was the one that was greatly affected by it because the man which was treating her well was executed and the man she was married
After the first time I put myself in her shoes per say, and realized that the author was just trying to emphasize the repetitive lives that the characters now live. It also shows how severe the handicaps are and how she is almost completely unaware of what’s actually happening in her life other than her present few moments. When Hazel mentions that she would play chimes on Sundays in honor of religion, still slightly confuses me. Is the author trying to show that the characters still have faith? Is the passage just simply trying to show how Hazel is trying to keep herself consciously thinking about something for a decent amount of time, but then her thoughts are quickly changed?
Waiting and waiting was all that she got accomplished that day, aside from the painting of the door, due to the intense worriment she has been accompanied with. Silence became her dear friend as she resented the actions of her husband towards his father. Along with the chilling atmosphere that the cold breeze had brought inside, Ann began to examine every part of her life that she was not impressed with. The burst of emotions was only egged on by results that the storm had caused. Internally, she began to feel sorry for herself, but really had no idea what she would be missing.
