She still losses many things in her life, including her step son, whom she had a strong relationship with. She shows power over her own life by realizing that she does not need the male figure in her life to always be looking after her, like her father did when she was young, and then later, her husband persuading her to marry him and move to California. When she has a male, like her step son, relying on her for their life, she is able to show her power over herself and them. This allows her to overcome her fears of being in murky waters, which she realizes are "so soft and warm". This could also show how she no longer needs guidance through her unclear life and she can swim through it by
Calpurnia plays an important role when Jem begins to mature very quickly, she explains to Scout what is happening to him and tells her why he doesn’t want to play any more. Scout becomes closer to Cal during this time as she goes and sits in the kitchen with her when she is bored and Cal tries her best to find something to entertain her. When Atticus is away he trusts Calpurnia to take care of his two children, showing the children, whether or not they realise it, that what white people say about black people being untrustworthy is not necessarily true as Atticus would trust Cal with his life. She takes them to her church
The reason he doesn't go is because that is the day he visits his mother in the home she lives in, and she would never understand if he changed the day and would pick on him more than usual. He would love's the Manager’s job because then his mother would see him as more successful and maybe give him more respect. He has a sort of girlfriend whom he would like to marry but feels that he does not have much to offer her at present and anyway she might say 'No'. He comes across as a gentle man who is very aware of the feelings of others and afraid of what they might think of him. You will have assessed him as visual in modality.
Nanny wanted to feel like Janie was stable, so she could rest in peace. In a way, this makes sense because it seems like Nanny is only trying to do what's best for Janie's future, but in reality Nanny is just teaching Janie that in order to be "alright," she has to have a man by her side. Janie soon rebelled and met Joe Starks. The book and movie both do an exceptional job at showing Janie developing her own mind about what/who she wants. This is definitely a step in the right direction, but she's still using Nanny's tactic by jumping from Logan Killicks right to Joe
Pontellier’s property. Edna partly believes that if she can prove her independence from her husband that Robert will want to be with her. She no longer cared about the needs of her husband she was fully lost in her own dreams. “Without even waiting for an answer from her husband regarding his opinions of wishes in the matter, Edna hastened her preporations for quitting her home on Esplanade street and moving into the little house around the block”(Choplin 84). Moving out of her husband’s house made her feel free, she didn’t want to be surrounded by her husband’s belongings, she wanted to be completely self-efficient.
Line. 10 -11 “ He was an old head, on young shoulders.” Our narrator was a ‘planner’ she had everything sorted out, and was sure of what she wanted to do in her future. She was not a wild or spontaneous person like Jed. But that was also one of their relationship’s contrasts, as mentioned before, their differences made them strong, but also weak in the end. The narrator is still a person who is sure of herself; she has grown up and proves it, when Jed told/texts that he drove his wife insane because she wasn’t our narrator, and she didn’t reply, because she knew she can’t be stuck in her past, and can’t go back to her high school love life.
Huck elevates his sentence structure when talking with the Widow in order to appease her. Huck conforms to the expectations of society that children should have never ending respect for their elders. When Huck is under the care of the Widow, she attempts to educate him, and succeeds. However, it does not change Huck's conversational sophistication when talking with figures not of authority. Huck talks formally and proper when he is around the Widow to show his willingness to be educated, and so the Widow would not be constantly pestering him about proper English.
Kristal Buffington English 101 Right or Wrong In Pan’s Labyrinth the difference between right and wrong is a big part in the actions taken by Ofelia. Ofelia is free-spirited, imaginative and does as she pleases no matter what anyone around her says, her mother and Captain Vidal say she is doing wrong but in her eyes she is doing what she feels to be the right thing. For example in the movie, Ofelia is told to greet Captain Vidal as “Father”, her mother tells her to do this as an appreciation for all Captain Vidal had done for them. When Ofelia sees him she does not say a thing and then shakes his hand, upsetting both her mother and Captain Vidal, where he then corrects her and tells her she shook his hand incorrectly. In this scene Ofelia is seen to be doing wrong in the eyes of her Mother and the Captain, but in her eyes she feels to be doing no wrong because she refuses to call someone who is not her dad, father.
Bridging the Gap Although Doctor Hata is viewed as a man of honesty, wisdom, and respect in Bedley Run, he lacks the compassion and warmth of a typical father figure. Doc Hata thinks he has done everything in his power to give his daughter a good life so that she can grow up to be a polite, mature, and independent woman. Throughout Sunny’s transformation into a young lady, Hata treats his daughter as if she is already an adult, making sure she is obedient and respectful to everyone. “Yes, poppa,” would be something Sunny have been taught to say to acknowledge her father. Yet, Doc Hata raises his adopted child as a task or a mission, guided by specific principles and rules, instead of a father raising his little girl with love and passion.
Her actions are meant to be beneficial for Janie it is not because there is no chemistry between the too. Grandma Nanny’s actions demonstrate how the younger woman in the environment was not able to make her own decisions but is to follow the lead of her superior at the time, Nanny. She is traded off to this middle aged man because he is considered, by Nanny’s standards, well-off. He could provide a
