Her parents have tried many different strategies, including rewarding her after cleaning, and giving her a time-out when she doesn't listen. Often what happens is that Emma gets angry when it is clean-up time and throws a tantrum. She yells and screams and sometimes even throws her toys, creating a bigger mess. Her parents feel that the only way to stop the tantrum is to pick her up and then clean up for her. Discuss the principles of operant conditioning that are underlying Emma's behavior.
Mentor: (putting her hands up in surrender) Alright, alright. Let’s get on with this. (riffling through her papers, finds some important paper and starts to read from it) Now, it says here that ladies of noble birth are supposed to defer to their parents or children. They are supposed to bear healthy children, boys in preference. (Looking at Lady Capulet haughtily and appraising Juliet)Looks like that was one quota you were not able to fill.
This presents the notion of Nana’s objective resentment towards Mariam and makes the audience aware of the uneasy relationship between the two. Hosseini continues to effectively elaborate further on Nana and Mariam’s strained and deplorable relationship by revealing to the audience the reason for Nana’s spite and unforgiving nature towards her own daughter, which is the fact that Mariam is an illegitimate child, the product of a shameful affair ‘who would never have legitimate claim to the things other people had love, family, home, and acceptance’. Hosseini enables the audience to have an accurate picture of the relationship between Mariam and her mother in the way that he then builds on the image he has given the audience of Mariam, ‘a clumsy heirloom-breaking little Harami’. It is clearly portrayed that Nana blames Mariam for her misfortunate and bitter life. However, this is in stark contrast to the way in which Hosseini presents Jalil and Mariam’s relationship.
In Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily” the author uses setting to reflect the many developing sociopathic characteristics of Miss Emily Grierson. Her eccentric, antisocial personality leads the reader to believe she has some type of mental defect. The different settings are used in a way to show her mental decline throughout the story. Emily uses the death of her father and her sheltered lifestyle to her advantage by bully those around her into getting exactly what she wants. These attributes are shown her doorstep, in the parlor of her home, and her secret upstairs room.
He has an external conflict with the people in Jenkinsville because everyone there hates the Nazis. Therefore, he’s treated as an outcast. Ruth the ,Antagonist, acted like a mother to patty
She appeals to the readers’ emotions. When she says that her parents’ accents humiliated her, you can feel her pain and embarrassment of something so trivial. Yu can feel her anger as she tells the reader of the snide remark about the Middle East coming from an adult. She uses reason to convince readers of the discrimination when her mother changes young children’s minds about some stereotypes. I think pathos predominates because one connects with the author on an emotional level and opens their mind to the existing problem.
This informal form of education places constraints upon Jane, as the authority of her aunt and cousins restricts her. Jane is indoctrinated, and is made to feel inferior to the Reed’s. An example of the verbal abuse Jane receives is when John Reed calls her the derogatory name “Rat!” She is extremely class conscious and is constantly reminded of her dependency, this indoctrination makes Jane know her place and her rights. Bronte uses this informal education that Jane endures to convey the harsh treatment that Jane goes through mentally and physically. Jane suffers social exclusion at Gateshead, and is ostracized by the Reed family; this segregation contributes in educating her to become a passive character, as she
Even though the narrator admits to partial responsibility for her part in Emily’s unhappy childhood, at the same time she excuses herself of full responsibility because of environmental and social circumstances. She looks at her daughter's future, fearful that it will be a desolate, miserable existence resulting from a childhood where there was not sufficient money or time for emotional nourishment. Tillie Olsen’s “I Stand Here Ironing” introduces a mother-daughter relationship where the mother faces internal conflict regarding her daughter Emily as she narrates her neglect for her daughter, the lack of love the child experiences during her life, and ability to discover comedy during tragic situations, and the cruelty of being a dark little girl in a world that appreciates beauty. Several times throughout Emily’s life she experiences separation from those she cares about. The narrator confesses how she was absent from her daughter’s life during most of Emily’s development.
Sara would use her fantasy stories to fill the void whenever she missed her father or felt hopeless. An adult watching (ALP) the story remains unique and believable. The actions of the characters and the importance of their role in the film seem more intense. The breakout scene of the picture was when Sara told Miss Minchin her beliefs despite the consequences. The vocal opinions of the child shocked the headmistress which engages the audience to the edge of the seat.
One may claim that Toni Morrison espoused a paradoxical view of the family in The Bluest Eye, yet this incredible novel perpetuates the effect of self-loathing caused by an anguish-laden family to a child. Throughout the entirety of the novel, Morrison elaborates an extensive plot in which Pecola, the main character, is attributed with vast tragedies. She is beaten, abused, harassed, and is the victim of incest. This is clearly the result of an unfortunate, vagabond family, which is unable to provide her with essential family values. Moreover, Pecola’s misery is forced upon her through the corruption of her family.
