Then some of the women started sharing their feelings about how their loved ones actions have impacted their life. I felt a little more comfortable. They did talk a little about the disease concept and I was surprised. I did start to feel a sense a hope and it felt like family. When the meeting was over they closed it with the serenity prayer.
However as previously stated in my comparison to the character of Amanda I often mask this insecurity through a more confident persona, which Maggie’s character does not do. Unlike Amanda and Maggie’s characters’ sense of insecurity due to their differences to the general public, Eudora Welty writes about a girl named Marian who seems to be just like everyone
Mother describes how Dee would read to her and Maggie “without pity; forcing words, lies, other folks' habits, whole lives upon us two, sitting trapped and ignorant underneath her voice” (104). The mother uses the words without pity, forcing, and trapped to show that she and Maggie had no choice but to listen to Dee. The mother goes on to say that Dee would “shove us away at just the moment, like dimwits, we seemed about to understand” (Walker 104). Dee was not trying to educate or even attempt to help her mother and Maggie understand what was being read. Dee only wanted to lord over them her superior intelligence and education, therefore boosting her own ego.
It’s not he/she place to discriminate, or to treat Sandra differently because beliefs are different. Growing up we were always taught to treat others as you want to be treated. In healthcare I feel it is a lot different. It’s your job to always treat the patient with respect and understand their needs and wants. Although Sandra was not conscious and could not make choices herself, the staff tried contacting her next of kin, when they were unreachable they took matters into their own hands to help Sandra.
She followed Abigail and had no individuality. Without that individuality she was just an easy target for Abigail. Individuality is the key to having self-respect because then you will be able to accept yourself and respect yourself. In Act 3, Mary Warren had said, “I- have no power.” (Miller 108) It stated the conformity Abigail had over the people and how she dominated through out the book. No one showed individuality towards
As a result, she remains quiet instead of speaking out, which prevents her from being fully in control of situations when she confronts people, especially Lucy; Elinor is often dominated by the other characters. However, despite her passive disposition, Elinor keeps her relationships with other characters so stable that she earns herself the title of the one with sense throughout the book. One of Elinor’s greatest strengths is affection. Upon hearing people’s despair and anxiety, she is easily attached to the story she hears and shows a great concern in people. Elinor’s attitude is well portrayed throughout the novel, especially when Marianne is involved.
Looking for Alibrandi is written entirely in first person enabling you to see how she feels about certain people and how she feels about what is happening to her in her life. You can tell that she doesn’t like snobs or racism because she expresses those feelings inside her head and as you are inside her head it is as if you are getting a personal commentary from the main character throughout the whole story, making her a believable character. The use of language in the story helps establish a confident relationship with Josephine. She uses chatty slang to make the reader more comfortable with the story line, especially when she attempts to rationalize a feeling or action on her behalf. Her father calls her “our obnoxious creation” because she has witty observations and is never short of something to
In order for her to fit into a group and also in order to live, she was advised to just “say you’re one of them.” “What Language is That?” reveals the emotional toll of Christian-Muslim conflict in Ethiopia by two girls who were best friends regardless of their different religious beliefs. Although, whenever people were informed of their connection they were forbidden from communicating. We are able to read love through their miming communication and fear from losing touch as a consequence of their society’s conservative beliefs and strict religious
In her society Anne could not directly speak of her true emotions, because of this she used beautiful similes in her work, contrasting the blunt sexuality her husband and her shared. Anne also used comparisons of God to express her equality and love towards her husband. In the society Anne grew up in ones life was revolved around the values and beliefs of Jesus Christ and God. Having this influence she wrote much about her love for her religion but in a way that explained the equality of her love and commitment to her family and to her religion. The way Anne saw her family as an equal priority to her religion was seen as inappropriate to her
