In her short story, The Yellow Wallpaper, Gilman describes the physician office as a hotel which she is staying in while her husband and herself are on vacation and while her husband, a physician, is at work her sister-in-law tends to Gilman’s needs and checks in on her every day. Even though Gilman is not supposed to be engaging herself in such strenuous intellectual activity, she finds that is puts her nervous break downs at rest for a little while to write about her feelings and emotions. She writes the story as if she were writing in a diary or journal and not something that others will ever read. When Gilman saw her husband or sister-in-law coming to the room she hid away the papers and pretended she had done nothing but rest just as her physician had prescribed. Gilman says that after three months of being in solitary confinement she was near the border line of utter mental ruin.
The reason I chose this item is because in the book, the main character Pattyn Von Stratten used a journal write down all her troubles because her librarian Ms. Rose told her it would be good for her. The second item I chose was a diaper. I chose this item because all through the main characters life, she had to take care of herself and her six other younger sisters. Her mom and dad always made her change their diapers, feed them, and bathe them. The third item I chose was a ring.
Maggie wants them for sentimental value, she admits to putting them to "everyday use." She is not one to use them to show off or place financial values on like her sister would. Maggie and her mother share a unique stand point; they both seem to be very happy and content with their way of life. They are not financially well off, but they are living life to the fullest. Towards
It was explained to her that such hatred was “healthy and normal”. Hooks could not fathom that thought, given that she was taught to value her parents and their care, to understand that they were obligated to give children care. This shows the respect hooks had for her parents and that being in a culturally different
I also think the play highlights the importance of families; especially fathers. We learn Edward has grown up in a safe, secure family; however his father is constantly away at work, so it is left to Mrs Lyons to look after Edward by herself. Mickey’s life is also similar, in the way that he never has a father figure around, however he does have a kind, loving mother, who would do anything for her children. The absence of fathers allows Willy Russell to focus on motherhood, and how, no matter what happens, a mother will always be there for her child; even if their father
Even though he had nose bleeds and looked pale in the end, the pride of the mother over Jerry’s ability to take care of himself prevented her from noticing anything being out of the ordinary. The mother was able to gain trust over Jerry and that helped make her a better mother. By having more trust on her son she was able to let him explore and learn more about himself and things around him. Instead of having him not learn anything in a safe environment which she would not be able to keep him in forever, he was able to learn a lesson about reaching goals in
If Pearl was to look back on this very day and growing up in the Salem community, not knowing who her father was, or why others never really cared for her. It might sadden her a little. But then again Pearl was an optimistic child; she never dwelled on one situation. Pearl was content with the company of her mother, and their simple everyday life. Hester Prynne was a stay at home mom
Cathy’s upbringing did not seem to be a likely place to develop hatred or any reason for rebellion in the young girl. Her parents were very loving and thought highly of her; “Cathy said she wanted to be a teacher, which delighted her mother and father, for this was the one profession of
He was so very proud of his daughter. Not so much her accomplishments as her loving ways (her mother's attributes) that flourished in her. To this day, he does not want her to leave the house. It was hers to keep and live in, if she would only find a suitor and
My father has always been my support system in my return to school. My father has always been there for me when I needed him the most. I always was in good and healthy living arrangements, so I never wanted for anything. Returning to school was a good decision for me and everybody I would say because the economy is at an all-time low. Stability is one of the reasons why I chose to return to school because I would someday be able to help my father the way he helped me and my family for myself as well.
