What Is The Best Way To Respond To Conflict? "To thine own self be true”, Polonius once said in William Shakespeare's famous play Hamlet. In response to conflict, this character’s words has proven to be an effective way of dealing with tough situations. Although some may argue a better response to conflict is adaptation, individuals experiences such as Anne Frank and Sophie Scholl have shown that is not the case. In “Hitler Youth: Growing Up in Hitler's Shadow” and an excerpt from “The Diary of Anne Frank”, the young girls experience oppression of their views and beliefs.
Throughout Bronte’s “Jane Eyre,” the superstitious presence surrounding Jane represents her transformation from an insecure young girl to a strong, independent woman. Bronte showed us her development in each stage of her life through her use of superstition displayed in the locations where she lived. Although Jane lives most of her life in the adventurous, unknown world, she is given the choice to do what is expected and live a life of honor and plainness; however, she eventually realized that she could not live a life so plain because she couldn’t live without the adventure. At the beginning of the novel, the superstitious presence in the red room shows Jane’s insecurity about herself; the room itself gives a description of her personality through the room’s appearance. As she looks around the room, she recalls that “it was in this chamber he,” her uncle, “breathed his last” (19).

Now that’s growing up without a childhood. Jane Smiley seems like a great parent who cares about her children but to allow her daughters to put on makeup even entering their teenage years just isn’t right. Her girls where prematurely growing up, where behaving beyond their age, and with their only priority being beautiful at all times it seem to help them in the long run. As they burned off the “Barbie stage” and grew into more important things down their lives. Like for example Smiley talks about her older daughter, “Now she is planning to graduate school and law school and become an expert on woman’s health issues, perhaps adolescent health issues like anorexia and bulimia” (377).
Patten learned at school that ‘one and one made two’. This metaphor is referring to love and how one person and another come together to make two. But at home it was a completely different story; Patten had parents who fought and didn’t take much interest in him, Patten’s home life ‘stung more than any teachers cane’ which shows the extent of how painful love came across to him. In his home life he learned that ‘one and one stayed one and one’. His parents actions when he was young left him with the idea that love and relationships are horrible and all it does is hurt us, he felt as if it’s not worth going through the pain and stress.
Scout mostly tells of her own thoughts but also devotes considerable time to recounting and examining Jem’s thoughts and actions. The childhood innocence with which Scout begins the novel with is threatened by numerous incidents that expose the evil side of human nature, in particular the injustice of the guilty verdict in Tom Robinson’s trial and the ruthlessness of Bob Ewell. As the novel steps forward, Scout and Jem struggle to maintain trust in the human ability in doing good things. This is mainly, as a result of these recurring instances of human evil. Lee using Scout as the narrator also highlights how Scout learns about life and the negativity of discrimination throughout her childhood years.
As a child (and even now when Allison is a teenager,) Allison feels alone and isolated in a hostile environment because her parents and (and even her peers,) are not caring towards her, hence the reason why she is so reserved and sensitive. Horney also theorized that there are ways that humans search for security in life, and one of them is moving towards people. It is evident that Allison does this because she does attention-seeking actions such as pouring the all the contents from her purse, squealing and banging her head against the table.
