When traumatic situations occur, people cope in different ways depending on who they are. In the short story “Scars and Scales” by Sarah Rakel Orton, there are two versions of how the characters grieve the loss of their mom. In referring to scars, the title suggests how females are able to cope mentally, whereas scales represent how males cope physically. Even though women can help others deal with disturbing conditions, men are better at curing themselves due to less mental strain and have the ability to move on quicker. During a time of sorry, the main difference between male and females is that females feel it is their responsibility to become the leader of the situation and take care of the people around them.
Not only does it point out the natural inclination of people to feel pain as a ripple effect rather than all at once, it foreshadows the suffering that Hester and Arthur Dimmesdale will undergo throughout the course of the novel. It also explains how Hester is able to handle such terrible things as public shaming without crumbling into herself. His use of words such as torture, rankles and extremity increase the sense of drama in this passage. Chapter 4 “The Interview” Page 30 “We have wronged each other,” answered he. “Mine was the first wrong, when I betrayed thy budding youth into a false and unnatural relation with my decay.
This makes him responsible for his own removal from the relationship. The scence when Bundy has the gun is just another metaphor for her being in control. This is logical and emotional because everyone loves when the woman is able to take up for herself and by removing the man she asserting her power. She further uses humiliation to show the lowlesness of a man who is unfaithful to his woman. This is logical and emotional because a real loving man would not be unfaithful and
Marcus Aurelius once said, “Whosoever does wrong, wrongs himself…” Othello by William Shakespeare and A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams both illustrate the critical lens. Both authors use literary devices to convey the critical lens. Both authors use characterization and theme of deception in their literary works. The critical lens means that if a person does wrong or bad thing it will eventually affect them at the end. The quotation is true because when someone does wrong thing it comes back to them.
This is the common consensus, and it also seems to be the shared experience of my target group, both male and female. For a male member caringly reffered to as “brother” the picture starts to fade rather quickly as it soon becomes apparent that violence and a macho persona are not only acceptable but expected and respected normal behavior. In this way the female members (sisters) almost instantly differ. Although it is expected that a woman be ready and willing to defend the many aspects that accompany gang life it is not expected for her to be overtly aggressive or tough. The female counterparts or Latin queens are initially viewed as a subservient faction of the nation, breeders and en masse event planners, however this could not be more wrong, this is the majority for many female members but there are some outstanding Queens that transcend these roles and involve themselves in expected “male” behaviors such as violent acts, outstanding verbal leadership and over the top representation of the group or “repping”.
I believe that this process was made possible with the help of her friends and father. In Mandi’s case I do not think this process would be as easy because she grew up being with the grudge and hatred in her heart and it would be harder for her to change and become a better person. In this movie we are witnessing many transformations created by revenge. Mandi is transformed in time because she wants to revenge on Abby, Jo is transformed because she wants to revenge on Mandi, and the Anti-Plastics are transformed into the Plastics because they want to revenge on the Plastics for the way they are treating the people around them. The moral of this is that when you are trying to avoid something you hate be careful not to become what you actually hate.
Maybe she is able to realize, that although he escaped any physical harm, his mind may have been just as severely damaged as were the bodies of other soldiers. Sarah’s reaction to the bodies is equally important, as instead of feeling sickened, or crying at the horror of what she has seen; Sarah becomes furious, “furious with herself, the war... Everything” the anger she feels is anger “at their being hidden away” and at her inability to make things better. This has the effect of making Sarah a more likeable character, to Prior as well as to the reader. Comparison Both pieces of literature, the one by Owen, the other by Barker raise the issue and question the morality of sexual attraction between women and men suffering from physical mutilations. Both seem to be condemning this unfair outcome of war on individual peoples’ lives.
Suddenly, inescapably, the responsibility for alleviating her misery became hers: she had to make a choice. "But I love him, doctor." The triumph of the doctrine of the sovereignty of sentiment over sense would have delighted the Romantics, no doubt, but it has promoted an unconscionable amount of misery. "Your boyfriend is unlikely to change. He strangles you because he enjoys it and gets a feeling of power from doing so.
She explains that women are objectifying themselves and are equally to blame for the degrading image that men have of us. The article discusses how we do not have to put ourselves in this position and continue to objectify ourselves, however our culture teaches us that that is the acceptable way to live. Unless someone does something radical to change the norms of our society, men will continue to objectify women and the women will help them. This is the way of our culture. I enjoyed this reading because it really opened my eyes to how erotic our culture is, in fact.
People are willing put down one another with derogatory connotations especially during times of anger when one is more willing to act on impulse rather than to contain one’s self. Society has created many different stereotypes over the years; some may be more popular than others while some can be found only in certain regional areas. Stereotypes run deep worldwide and are inevitable due to human nature; these simplified conceptions cause people to act in certain ways towards one another. Within the I Want a Wife essay written by Judy Syfers, she describes what a man wants in his perfect wife and how she should act and conduct herself in his home. This is an example of gender stereotypes where the women/wife is expected to do everything in the home a mother would do and still raise the children without any help from the husband.
