Despite the crisp cold air and the endless drives to tournaments, I would always see him in the stands pounding his hands together rooting for my team. However, I believe that family can include people that are no blood related. Almost everyone has best friends, boyfriends, and girlfriends whom they love and respect just as much as their own family. I see my close friends five out of seven days of the week. We do everything from just hanging out when were bored, going to Giants games, going to parties, and all other sorts of activities.
In the time of the Great Depression people relied on dreams to keep themselves going and because Candy had lost his dog, he now believes this is a new venture and now completely revives his spirit. Finally, Candy shows the view of women in that period. In the time of 1930‟s America, women were not valued in society and were only seen as housewives or easy sex. Candy‟s view on Curley‟s Wife represents exactly these views as he first says to George that „I think Curley‟s married a … tart.‟ This shows the view that Curley‟s Wife is flirtatious and is seen as easy sex. Candy views Curley‟s Wife as inferior and is shown in Crooks‟ room when he says „you let this guy alone, don‟t you do no messin‟ with him,‟ this shows his view the Curley‟s Wife is a tart because when he says „messin‟ around‟ he means flirting which justifys his view on Curley‟s Wife.
Gender inequality was normal during the time this story was written. John Steinbeck did an excellent job with the character Elisa Allen. He showed how women were not treated equally and revealed Elisa’s emotional toll on the situation. Although Elisa’s interaction with the tinker was quite exciting and made her feel like a woman again, it had no effect on her in the long run to change her current situation. Elisa did however, got dolled up for her husband in the
This theory is supported by Brett herself when she states, "Don't we always pay for all the things we do?... When I think of the hell I’ve put chaps through. I’m paying for it all now.” (Hemingway 34) Although she recognizes that she has been promiscuous, her admission does not slow her down in her perusal of male suitors. Jake even points out Brett’s behavior by claiming that she likes to “add them up” in reference to the men she sees, a claim which Brett cannot deny (Fitzgerald 30). Brett seems to find solace in knowing that she can entertain men at her will.
‘Maybe you better go along to your own house now. We don’t want no trouble’ this shows that the workers were cautious of being caught with Curley’s wife and sent her on her way to avoid conflict. Curley treasures his wife and if she were caught in any trouble, even if it was her fault, she’d be seen as innocent. Finally, Steinbeck also presents women as attractive and confident. The quotes ‘If he ain’t, I better look someplace else, she said playfully’ and ‘Hi, Good-lookin’.’ These show all the workers think Curley’s wife is attractive and she knows this, so she’s being confident with them.
Sitting in my Dual-Credit Teacher Cadet Class listening to my instructor tells us, “see at this stage of life, children believe that all their friends have two cars, a big house and food on the table every night, because they haven’t experienced anything else” and everyone laughed and moved on. But for me, I knew from the very beginning that my sister and I had a very different life from everyone else, but for a long time I didn’t know why. My name is Charmaine Littlejohn; I was born on May 21, 1996, healthy as I can be. I grew up in a single parent household with my sister and my mother since my father decided that he would like to take a more indirect parenting course throughout my life. I have been in Gaffney, South Carolina all my life
They do not have to stay in the house all day with the children and obey their husbands. They can go where they want and do what they want(that's within the law). Women are also free to wear pants, short skirts, short and loose hair, and act how they want in public. Though, being from the time period she was, Stanton may not approve of modern fashion trends, but she might be happy knowing that women today have the choice to do so. As long as women have been mistreated, they have fought for the same rights that their male counterparts had.
While she has been married 6 different times, she considers her multitude of romances to be a declaration of her sexuality and her lack of doubt within herself. If being judged based solely on her willingness with men, she wants to be seen as the type of woman who doesn’t let societal standards delegate how she holds herself and lives. The wife also takes pride in her ability to stand up to her husband’s drinking problem. She is not weak or timid, she wants what’s best for her or which ever poor soul she is married to at a given time, and if that means facing the man in a way that puts her in a dangerous situation, then so be it. She also takes pride in the way she leads men, of course not leading them on, just simply leading them and sure, she’ll leave them eventually, but that’s not what matters.
His wife, Emilia, is Desdemona’s loyal attendant and accompanies her at all times. Though she has marital issues with Iago, she still is loyal to him as well, and since he has been pestering her to get the sacred cloth, she succeeds in the action. “She let it drop by negligence. And, to the advantage, I, being here, took’t up. Look here it is.”(III.iii.)
Brotherhood Life is a common phenomenon that teaches everyone thousands things and lessons evolving from childhood until death. That could include either positive or negative aspects in the realm.
