So metaphorically, she is hiding from reality but on a physical level, Blanche avoids light to prevent others from seeing the reality of her beauty that is now being “put out” like light. From the start, Blanche is portrayed as a “moth” [pg. 5] , a creature of darkness, often mistaken for a butterfly, a creature of light, thus building up on the theme of illusion. As a moth cocoons itself to avoid bright light, the colored paper lantern Blanche bought represents her creating a beautiful dream to gloss over the ugly reality (light bulb) that she cannot confront. She is able to manipulate facts and reality, hide the truth and be in control of whom she is.
(To INSPECTOR.) Then I'm staying. GERALD Why should you? It's bound to be unpleasant and disturbing. INSPECTOR And you think young women ought to be protected against unpleasant and disturbing things?
Steinbeck uses the word ‘Coulda’ to show that Curley’s wife thinks she had the potential to be a movie star but she ended up with a guy who she hates. We know this because she says ‘I don’t like Curley’, this is interesting because every time she engages into conversation with other men she is always looking for Curley whereas now she says she don’t like him. This makes the reader think that she was using Curley as excuse to communicate with other characters and this shows her desire for attention like we discussed in the previous pare graph but ultimately shows that she is useless without Curley. Steinbeck did this because he wanted the audience to understand not always you get what your dream and not all Americans got the best out the American dreams, some peoples dreams ware destroyed in matter of seconds as we seen in this chapter as Curley's wife dies with it ends Georges Linnes, Curley's wife and Candy's dreams. In Addition, the fact that she thinks that she had the potential to be a movie star links to
If a person is committed to change or wants change we simply walk beside them and help them determine the best course of action. If a person is in contemplation about change we as helpers need to remember not to take the good side of the argument. If you argue for the good side it only leaves the client one spot to stand and usually that is to defend the other side. So if you tell someone that they must change something, or they must do something, people will come up with excuse after excuse. So rather than getting someone to defend their current behavior, we want to get them talking about change.
Why other people hated them so, and if I started behaving like one I could go off and find someone to play with” (Lee, 119). Jem tells Scout that she is acting like a “girl”. Society has made him think that way. Jem being Scout’s brother is prejudice towards her because he is ignorant. Women are expected to be “ladies” and to behave prim and proper.
Why do you call me, when you know I can't answer the phone? And make me lie when I don't want to, And make someone else some kind of an unknowing fool? Make me stay when I should not? If you're so strong then resolve the weakness in me. Why do you come here, and pretend to be just passing by?
Blanche: “I don’t want realism. I want magic!”-Blanche This quote shows Blanche’s silly and fantasizing attitude. She wishes for magic and fantasy, but eventhought she tries to escape her tragedy through a fantasy world the reality of the event
Miss Bingley Miss Bingley is a foolish and scheming character. She is shown in such a light that she is the complete opposite to that of Elizabeth Bennett; she is desperate for Darcy’s attention. "'Eliza Bennett,' said Miss Bingley, when the door was closed on her, 'is one of those young ladies who seek to recommend themselves to the other sex, by undervaluing their own...but, in my opinion, it is a paltry device, a very mean art.'" Miss Bingley immediately shows the reader her distaste to Elizabeth by trying to show Darcy what she believes is Elizabeth’s scheming character when in fact it is her that is the one trying to fool Darcy and the reader into thinking lowly of Elizabeth. Miss Bingley uses lots of pauses in her sentence possibly to show the reader that she may be pausing to see the effect her words may have on who she is speaking to.
An example of this is telling the person they are the fastest by telling them this it can ruin their self-esteem so many ways getting there hopes high to have them crushed will send them on a spiral loop which could end up badly. Young girl in seem to have low-esteem problem dealing with body image and what they see on TV as parent we try and build that up by letting them know that what they look like on the outside is fine and that you don’t have to look like what on a magazine cover but the world twists it around and then we have girls belittle them self because of
The obsession of the color pink, the non-athletic abilities, and the simple things like how women walk or hold their books. In Chapter 9 of To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee also approaches the stereotypical expectations of females. "I could not possibly hope to be a lady if I wore breeches; when I said I could do nothing in a dress, she said I wasn’t supposed to be doing things that required pants. "(Lee 81). Aunt Alexandra was horrified with the fact that Scout did not live up to the standards society had of women.
