As I recalled my journey to Herot, my mother told me that the reason these humans showed hostility towards me is because humans and monsters were not meant to be friends. I did not want to believe that. I believe that humans and monsters can be friends, if given the opportunity. I decided to give it another chance tomorrow. So I headed to my quarters to rest and think of how to befriend these humans.

There was one particular quote in the novel that seemed out of place in my opinion. The quote depicts women in a very negative way. The beginning of the quote is as followed: “Experience will teach you the real characters of the beings who chiefly compose your species” (86). The statement was made by a male character from the novel. Then the quote continues and states: “You will find them, [women] a set of harpies, absurd, treacherous, and deceitful—regardless of strong obligations, and mindful of slight injuries…” (86).
“Why don’t you keep your room cleaned like your sister? How’ve you got your hair fixed – what the hell stinks? Hair spray? You don’t see your sister using that junk (Oats 899).” Connie and her father did not have the best relationship either because her father “didn’t bother talking much to them (899).” Even to an extent Connie “wished her mother was dead and she herself was dead and it was all over (899).” So it is easy to think that her personal feeling to her family and her suicidal thoughts could influence her dream in which Arnold Friend threatens to kill her family and ultimately to kill Connie. Arnold Friend was mentioned early in the book when Connie was hanging out with a boy she had just met and hooked up with for the night.
How does Hill convey relationships in the novel King of the Castle? Hill is describing Kingshaw’s relationship with his mother as not a good one. We see this as Kingshaw is thinking back to his past experiences with his mother, “He wished she were dead instead of his father”. Here Hill is trying to portray that Kingshaw’s mother is an extremely unlikable person and a terrible parent. Here, Kingshaw’s mother is trying to treat both the boys with equal respect.“I shall not make a favourite of my own child”, which is conveyed to the reader constantly as throughout the novel as her respect for her own child declines as her feelings for Mr Hooper increases .
My mother would tell me things in a blunt manor, instead of me appreciating the truth I insisted on over analyzing it creating a problem into something that wasn't. Realizing later on that was her way of showing me to understand constructive criticism and face the world. Deborah Tannen's "Oh, Mom Oh Honey", she analyzes different personal relationships between mothers and daughters.

The Things They Carried “My Take On Things” By Jodi Massie   Table of Contents Love 3 Spin 4 Enemies & Friends 5 The Dentist 6 Part 2 On The Rainy River (My Hard Decision Piece) How To Tell A War Story Speaking Of Courage LOVE My interpretation of Jimmy and Martha’s “relationship” is that there wasn’t a relationship at all. I feel that the more he forced a relationship with her the more he pushed her away. He wanted there to be more than there actually was. But didn’t make his move because he knew she was opposed to it. While at war he realized “what could have been” if only he told her how he felt.
Until, at the ending one finds out Lady Bertilak was tricking Gawain, the whole time. The two stories, Le Morte d’Arthur and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, compare because one would get the idea to never trust woman, although Lady Bertilak was just tricking him, but, in d’Arthur, Guinevere actually did have an affair with Lancelot, giving King Arthur the right to say, “Never Trust Woman.” At the time, in medieval times, men had the idea of anti-feminism, which is why woman were less dominant; why woman were more scandalous, because they felt the need of having their own
Instead of acting in a mature manner like an adult, she becomes hysterical and exaggerates, “...now here’s Mr. Bennet gone away, and I know he will fight Wickham, wherever he meets him, and then he will be killed, and what is to become of us all?” (192). The fact that she questions the fate of her family if anything should happen to her husband implies that even she is aware of her insufficient mothering. Additionally, her ability to ignore the real issues and magnify the trivial ones, as aforementioned, further glorifies her foolish character and ability to make
