In the last stanza of the first section Myra goes on to briefly talk about their sex life ‘I won’t repeat what we did.’ In my opinion the way she says this makes her almost come across as she is boasting; which is definitely not victim like behaviour. She also mentions that he also made her bury a ‘doll’ and goes on to list some odd places for a young couple to hang out, for example; ‘playgrounds’ & ‘Fairgrounds’. I believe that the doll represents the first child that Myra Hindley & Ian Brady murdered + buried. The looking at playgrounds and fairgrounds represents the couple scouting for new young victims. So she is willing to help Ian thus not presented as a victim.
Strangeworth writes letters to the people of the town pointing out their flaws. The reason she does this is because she thinks its her duty to keep the town alert to the evil of the world, “ it was Miss. Strangeworth's duty to keep her town alert to it” (Jackson 210). Yet that is not what entirely makes her evil its the fact that she has no compunction when it comes to her letters. There is also the fact that she has a dissolute feeling when she knows the people that she mailed the letters to will read them.
Although she’s just trying to help, her letters really are hurtful and just causing more problems. In addition, she decides to write another letter to Mrs. Harper this time, she says, “Have you found out yet what they were all laughing about after you left the bridge club on Thursday? Or is the wife really the last one to know?” (Jackson 339). For Instance, she’s trying to help Mrs. Harper by telling her that everyone in town knows what her husband is doing that Mrs. Harper can’t see. As you can see, Miss Strangeworth clearly states it in a more hurtful manner which doesn’t help the situation and causes more problems.
Ambush by Tim O'Brien When she was nine, my daughter Kathleen asked if I had ever killed anyone. She knew about the war; she knew I’d been a soldier. “You keep writing war stories,” she said, “so I guess you must’ve killed somebody.” It was a difficult moment, but I did what seemed right, which was to say, “Of course not,” and then to take her onto my lap and hold her for a while. Someday, I hope, she’ll ask again. But here I want to pretend she’s a grown-up.
Why I Don’t Want a Baby Impromptu Throughout Polly Vernon’s article, “Why I Don’t Want a Baby”, she argues to prove people can live happy lives without a baby by appealing to pathos. In this article pathos connects with the readers through emotions. The two most prominent were anger and annoyance. In Polly Vernon’s case emotion was everything. Anger was a magnified topic when she discusses the decision with people of different reasoning and annoyance from being discriminated against every time just because of her choice.
He always would tell me your mother thank God can fix everything. By me being young I thought this was a bad thing. So I would tell my momma the thing he would say and once again my mother would find a way to make me feel good about the situation. Now that I’m grown I’m a very strong minded and independent person, so I haven't had too many problems. Because I tend to blow people off pretty easily if they annoy me or rain on my parade.
Williams keys in the trash can and make her miss her doctors appointment?” She asked over and over getting the same response out of me. “I don’t even know what you’re talking about, why would I throw Mrs, Williams’ keys away? I love Mrs. Williams!” I stated over and over as my eyes began to water and eventually I lost control of my emotions. I must have been in her office for a good hour denying everything she asked me, because I knew deep down in my heart it was not me. I then proclaimed to her in tears, “All I did was hide her chalk in the flower pot!” At that point I was just ready to go back to the class because this lady was intimidating and persistent with her masculine figure yelling and screaming in my face.
She reacts the same when she finds out about Eric being the father of the baby. She thinks she knows best for her children, she probably believes she is protecting them, for instance, when Gerald talks about “women of the town” and Mrs Birling wants Sheila to go out and not listen“ It would be much better if Sheila didn’t listen to this story at all”. Sybil is an extremely self-satisfied woman: “Yes. We’ve done a great deal of useful work in helping deserving cases”, she is very proud of herself and of the “kind” things she does and she is also a judgmental person. Priestly shows how she is the one that decides if she wants to help a woman in need.
She is obviously content with the route she has chosen to entertain Bovanne, and Bovanne is as well. Ms. Hazel’s son, Task, is one to approach her. He claims that his mother’s dress was too short and low-cut for “a woman her age.” As much as an independent woman she proves to be, during the time period she embraced the liberation women were given. Ms. Hazel shows unconditional affection to the elders in her community, although her community does not always approve of her tactics. She remembers
Keller describes her experience as “unspeakable happiness” when she reads her favorite stories to her family who have supported her throughout her battles. She calls speech a “blessing” because this passion and desire that she longs for is keeping her fight half the battle. By trying to improve on her senses does not come natural to her, but has created a liaison with her family who believe in her. The Keller family has an affectionate and kind relationship that made it easy and enjoyable for each of them to help each other. As Ms. Keller describes her experience, she is not only talking to people who cannot hear or talk but also the families who should be willful to help and support in any way their family members who want to learn to be given their lost abilities.
