She had no confidence in her mother growing up, and saw her as a “limit” and an “embarrassment”. Later in Tan’s life, she found several surveys which led her to realize that she was not alone; there were other Asian-Americans who may have shared the same struggles as her. Tan creates a symbolic diction through the use of words like “broken”, “limited”, and “fractured”. She is very repetitive with her use of these words, although she explains how she hated when people described her mother’s english that way. Although Tan knows that the way her and her mother converse is not grammatically correct, she has grown to love it.
Brooks contrasts a strong feminist theme and positions us to see their heroic gestures to the weaknesses of men as the villagers are faced with great tragedies. Joss Bont is one of the villains of the plague year. Brooks positions us to see that Joss views the tragedy merely as an opportunity, and his extreme greed and insensitivity know no bounds. His exploitation of the dying and their families makes us see that Anna is glad she no longer shares a last name with him. When Bont adds attempted murder to his other crimes, the demoralized village finally calls him to account.

The cooperation between the two camps with opposing ideologies and ways of life never lasted for long, leading to several bloody and extremely costly wars for both sides. One of the most important writings of this period was Mary Rowlandson’s “The Sovereignty and Goodness of God” from 1682, which presented the account of an English Puritan woman of captivity among Indians during Metacom’s or King Philip’s War. Often named the first Indian captivity narrative, Rowlandson’s work is a powerful rendering of a cross-cultural encounter in which the limits of the protagonist/author’s identity are thoroughly tested. The outcome reveals just what the limits of toleration of different peoples and cultures actually were for most of the settlers. Concerning this crucial aspect, Rowlandson’s narrative offers little insight into Native American perspectives upon the conflict, a fact which is crucial in understanding Puritan and American ways of thinking and the victory culture which characterizes past and contemporary America.
Cooperjames from “The beacon” and Mr. Summers from “The Lottery”, who are both are responsible for keeping the tradition alive, and executing most of the activities of the ritual, there is a particular difference between the two stories in terms of how the rituals could be morally criticized by the viewer and lector respectively. In “The Beacon” the character of Dr. Barrows who is an outsider and not a member of the village, strongly objects and ever interferes with the beacons will by curing the chosen little girl who was supposed to die, with that happened the villagers decided to carry on with the ritual and kill Dr. Barrows in place of the little girl. On the other hand, in “The Lottery”, it is one of the village member Mrs. Hutchinson who tries to avoid the ceremony by forgetting the date and then arriving late to the event with a suspicious attitude of excusing herself, and even after her family draws the black dot she continuously showed signs of disagreement by saying “You didn’t give him time enough to take any paper he wanted. I saw you. It wasn’t fair!” and she continues to argue the unfairness of the ceremony, but she doesn’t do anything about it and accepts that’s the way the ritual has always been and she is stoned.
As a result of this inhumanity the massacre of innocents became inevitable and therefore, it can be understood what the consequences of inhumane behaviour will be. When the soldiers began taking innocent Tutsi, all of Paul's neighbours sought refuge at his house as he was the only trustworthy Hutu. Out of goodness in his heart he shelters these Tutsi's and his family from the Hutu soldiers. Paul's act of kindness and consideration towards the Tutsi people is what allows many of them to survive the waging war. His compassion went so far he allowed all the people seeking

The hacking and slashing that the Bride doles out to her enemies functions as a cathartic experience for both her and the audience. We don't always see the villains in real life get their comeuppance, so we are able to get revenge vicariously through the characters we see on screen. The violence can also be interpreted as a form of Beatrix's empowerment, who is left vulnerable and weak after the attack on her life. The executions she gratuitously hands
All I ever wanted, all I ever need from her was to feel and be loved. But I guess she only feels of me, how her mother feels of her, HATE.. A mothers loves is precious, something a person can embrace everytime they feel melancholy or unwanted. A mothers hate is cruel, and when u know and feel deep down in your heart that your mother hates u, you sometimes feel not even god loves you, You feel unloved, and unwanted by people who should love you, but really don't So you're blinded when you find someone who truly loves you... I now know that someone does love me, and his name is GOD, he's loved me all along and I let the hate from my mother blind me of that. He's loved me even when I thought I hated him.., I dont know how I could ever hate the only person who's held love for me since day one.
For those three years, Laura didn’t hate me; she understood me. She understood my anger and my confusion, and Laura put her faith in me, although she had every reason not to. To her, I was essentially a good person, just confused and scared; trying to do her best, but just not able to get a hold of herself. She saw me as I wished I could see myself. None of this became clear to me overnight.
