In the story “The Payoff” by Susan Perabo, the narrator Anne is drawn into a scheme well beyond her years. As a sheltered young girl she is acutely aware of her naïveté of the complexity of adult life and adult relationships. But after stumbling upon her principal and young art teacher in a sexual act, Anne by the urging of her more mature best friend Louise, joins in the plan to blackmail them for just twenty dollars. Louise is obviously an influence on Anne and pushes her in a direction Anne knows would make her parents disappointed. However, she agrees to the plan without much resistance, probably because she is fascinated by the sexual relationship she now finds herself innocently involved in, unbeknownst to the adults involved.
She aspires to be as courageous as her uncle. He is very outspoken and kind of crazy but Clara looks past that and sees a man who is creative and intelligent. Walter Mitty lives a pretty depressing life. Every day he gets nagged by his wife and has to hold his tongue because he is afraid of how she will respond if he did otherwise.

Due to the closeness in relationships between love ones they feel as if they know what the other person is thinking or feeling. When in actuality you or the love one should be really listening to what it is that is being said. It seems more convenient to our relationships and lives that we always understand or know exactly what our love one is thinking or wants. Believing this in my opinion is the reason why there is such poor communication among close relationship. My husband and I went to high school together but weren’t really close.
He has good intentions in this relationship; he sincerely helps Vee when she loses her sight. “Here, let me help you...”, he says, “There now. Set down right here” (81). Because they are already friends and, based on his past, Val is a ladies’ man, he has no trouble moving physically close to Vee when she needs his help. After they get to know each other a bit more, and Vee likes Val, it becomes intresting.
Sara would use her fantasy stories to fill the void whenever she missed her father or felt hopeless. An adult watching (ALP) the story remains unique and believable. The actions of the characters and the importance of their role in the film seem more intense. The breakout scene of the picture was when Sara told Miss Minchin her beliefs despite the consequences. The vocal opinions of the child shocked the headmistress which engages the audience to the edge of the seat.
It can invent as much as it pleases. But the film's admirers speak of how deeply they were touched, what meditations it invoked. I felt instead: Life doesn't work this way. We are an observer of our passage, and so are others. It has been proposed that one reason people marry is because they desire a witness to their lives.
Female Relationships compared to Male Relationships: Elise McKinnon A friendship is a bond that has grown over a course of a time period. Friends can range from best friends to people that are classified as friends just simply because you don’t dislike them. Male friendships compared to female friendships are two very different relationships. A male bond is simply a guy that either bought you a drink or has been there for you over the last 10 years while a female relationship undergoes multiple tests of trust that if there is one slip up you are immediately shunned. Men have a much more simple way of living that only involves having a good time and if another person accompanies you they are now known as your friend.
It is only when one hears pet names from someone one does not love that they are condescending, and until the climax of the play, Nora genuinely loves Torvald. We know this because she saves her husband’s life with a morally questionable act. This act may have ultimately led to the undoing of the marriage, but she does it “out of love” (209) nonetheless. Nora feels that Torvald has been kind to her, and she “thought it was fun when [Torvald] played with [her]” (249). And play they do.
Byelinkov is not the type of person to take praise very well while Varinka is willing to give him all he needs. All of these show what kind of persons Byelinkov and Varinka are, it shows how they over compensate each other’s personalities. Byelinkov says that “Pride can be an imperfect value”(981) While Varinka responds with “It isn’t pride. It’s the truth. You are a great man.” Varinka kisses Byelinkov and is still happy that she can call herself his wife.
