This had been for Alison’s emotional needs at the time. She never would talk to her parents about what she was really feeling. She would write in her diary, made poetry in parts of the book, Fun Home is a perfect example of her emotional needs as well. Her parents weren’t helping with communicating as well. Ian Sample tells us that psychologists say, “Brain scans on volunteers showed that putting feelings down on paper reduces activity in a part of the brain called the amygdala, which is responsible for controlling the intensity of our emotions”.
In neither the book nor the movie did Janie want to marry the old stranger, and she ended up leaving him for another guy, Jody Starks. Because of Jody's constriction, Janie never felt as though she was living her life to her fullest. Both the book and the movie note Janies love and conection with nature.

As a turning point for the story, Gilman then shows the other side of a woman’s perspective. She finally overcomes her conformist ways when she says at the end of the story, “I’ve got out at last,” said I, “in spite of you and Jane. And
How do the connections between the two texts enrich the meaning of each text? When considered on their own, texts are constructed to create meaning and impart that meaning on a responder. However when two linked texts a considered together, their meanings are enriched as the responder can compare both texts, and take extra meaning from how the two texts differ and agree with each other, by evaluating which is more effective. Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice when read in isolation can be a simple bildungsroman narrative about the maturation of a young woman. However if the responder were to read Fay Weldon’s Letters to Alice on first reading Jane Austen, the connections between the two would shape and then reshape the responder’s understanding of both texts.
Disability Revisited Criticizing misrepresentation in media is much like complaining that a desert is too dry; completely obvious and there’s not too much you can do about it. To voice her frustrations, Nancy Mairs composes a very blunt, matter-of-fact, somewhat satirical, essay scolding media for their portrayal of the disabled. Although her position is understandable, her approach in the essay is slightly jumbled. Mairs tends to use too many different emotions to relay information and her opinions to her audience. As an introduction, Mairs attempts to gain sympathy and personal connection with her readers by describing her physical disabilities due to MS (multiple sclerosis).
The turning point in this poem was when Gwendolyn said “She heard no hoof-beat of the horse and saw no flash of the shining steel.” This line describes how Carolyn realized that Roy was not the man he appeared to be and she grows to be angry and disgusted with him and “her hatred for him bursts into glorious flowers”. The killing of Emmitt Till both angered and inspired Gwendolyn to write this poem, and shows her hatred against Roy through the eyes of Carolyn. Instead of coming right out and saying how she felt she described how she felt carefully through Carolyn over a period of
Daisy does not show up and Nick does not receive any wishes from her. It indicates the cold and detached emotions of Daisy and the Americans. Daisy does not show any kindness or blessing to the antecedents. Daisy is merciless and without any sympathy. She does not even care about the death of her former lover, the Great Gatsby, which proved that the love between Daisy and Gatsby is not true love at all.
Amanda kept a lot of secrets to herself, like that she was pregnant and that she was black mailing Cherry’s dad. When Amanda’s body was found down at the waterfront it turned out that she was pregnant. No-body knew about this, not her friends or her boyfriend, not even her family knew about this.

For example, Abigail Adams wrote to her husband John, during the writing of the Declaration to encourage him to include the rights of women, arguing that men have turned into tyrants in the past (Doc D). Although Abigail proved herself to be very intelligent John did not listen to his wife’s requests and women received no voice or representation in government under the Declaration or Constitution. Women along with other minority groups were not impacted at all by the Declaration of Independence because they were not included; only the fifteen percent of the population, or the white men with property experienced any sort of radical changes. Historians feel the
Flowers used books to teach Marguerite important life lessons, Tubman used anecdotes and stories related to the slaves and their futures. These types of stories, ones with memorable endings and a strong message, helped the people around these two women want to keep moving forward and change their ways. Both these ladies established respect and confidence in the lives of those whom they helped. Although Tubman and Flowers were very similar, they had different motivation, different advice and caused different reactions. While they were both teachers of some sort, Tubman had been illiterate and could not read or write, unlike Mrs.
