She did not treat her other two children as kindly as she treated Timmie. Maggie’s father was also a smaller part because he died by chapter four also.

Anna reacts physically, emotionally and spiritually to the conflict she is faced with during the time of the Plague. At certain points in the novel, Anna reacts spiritually to not so much a particular event, but as the events of the plague roll out. Anna frequently doubts her belief in God when the prayers of the community are left unanswered and the town is left wondering why God persists with the Plague. Anna rhetorically questioned her mind many times, an example of this being, “And why should this good woman lie here, in such extremity, when a man like my father lived to waste his reason in drunkenness?” It was situations like these where Anna couldn’t understand God’s actions and why he was doing this, which led to her doubting her belief. A conflict of peace between two parties, The Bradfords and most of Eyam arises when the Bradfords decide to flee the town in an attempt to escape the Plague.
He is completely matter-of-fact about the situation surrounding his mother’s death, and he gives her an excuse. Instead of explaining that she was depressed about her life and her son’s estrangement, he states: “Apparently, my mother had always refused to eat fugu, but on this particular occasion she had made an exception, having been invited by an old schoolfriend whom she was anxious not to offend.” He gives his mother a reason for death, as opposed to the real reason. The young girl in “The Moths” refuses to accept the death of her grandmother as well, but for different reasons. Her family is cruel to her, and she is an outcast. She fights with her sisters who call her “bull hands” and are very mean.
When the townspeople discover the remains of Homer Barron locked away in Miss Emily’s bedroom after her death, we see that Miss Emily ultimately rejected the values of her culture. This is true not only in rejecting its values on dating or marriage but also those disdaining murder. In this way Miss Emily rejects the rigid values that have ruled most of her life. As Dilworth (1999) maintains, “By entering a love affair with Homer Barron, Emily briefly rebelled against southern values and then, by ending her affair with him, at least as far as the townspeople were concerned, she conformed again to those values” (p. 251). In contrast, the narrator does not want to shoot the elephant but ultimately does.
Like when I read about Margery Kempe, I had forgotten for a second that the character of the story was an actual person so I was intrigued by the story, but then I realized that the story was fictional and the character was a real person and my thoughts changed from somewhat excited about the story to something in between remorse and sorrow for what that poor lady had to endure all by herself pretty much. She tried to confide in someone and was denied the help of a clergyman. In those days, it was one of the worst things that could happen to a person. So yes my feeling changed completely after having read the story. That does not mean though, that anyone who reads a story such as this one will be compelled to feel the way I felt.
It was also thought that Women were to fragile to deal with the work that goes with being a doctor. Elizabeth Blackwell saw first hand the effects of the first problem mentioned. She watched a family friend die because she was embarrassed to bring her problem to the attention of her male doctor. Blackwell was not detoured by the Idea that no medical school would take her, because she could not compete with males. After all almost everyone at the time believed that "the female brain was different then the male brain.
If the grandmother stopped preaching about how the new world has fallen from the Christian faith, and opened her eyes to her real life, she would have saved the whole family from the misfit. Garo 2 The grandmother’s son, Bailey, seemed exhausted of having to take care of his own mother. He doesn’t bother raising his head when his mother is trying to get him to read the paper about “the misfit.” This creates Foreshadowing and a bit of irony to the story because in the end the misfit is what brings him and his family to his demise. Not only does he ignore his mother, but when she wants to take the children to see the old plantation, he sighs, gets aggravated and didn’t want to be bothered. Although her tired son may have a good soul, he is not a good man in the sense he seems tired and lifeless in the story.
Events that occur early in a person’s life could have a major effect on who they become as adults. Dealing with the death of a close relative, and experiencing betrayal from a person, whom one would never expect it, can majorly mess up a person’s outlook on life. Such events were mentioned in Sandra Cisneros’ short story, “Never Marry a Mexican”. It tells a story about a woman, named Clemencia, who has trust issues because of things she witnessed and experienced in her family, with her mother mostly, when she was young. Witnessing and experiencing betrayal, infidelity and abandonment during coming of age could lead to negative effects on a person like developing trust issues and mental problems.
Often I have heard stories of family members not wishing to visit mothers or fathers with dementia as it is too painful to see them in the way they are. Is this fair to leave those that are sick in a home by themselves? 3. How would people in ancient times dealt with elders that developed dementia? 4.
Because she didn’t realize how impaired she was and she didn’t want to lose her independence, she resisted mine and my family’s initial pleas, so we had to have her license taken away before she caused a major accident. Cooking becomes another risk to people with dementia because they become distracted and forgetful which can lead to them burning themselves or even worse, burning down the house. Due to their cognitive problems and lack of coordination, dementia patients are also at risk of falling, which can cause injuries. With my grandmother we had to replace all
