In the second verse the poem shows how the lord has managed to take the cottage maiden back to his house. After this she goes on to say how the lord used her for sex and as a trophy. This is shown when she says, "His plaything and his love, He wore me like a silken knot." This quote shows how she thinks that she was used as a trophy and as a 'plaything'. In the last two lines she goes on to say how she has become un-pure this is shown when she says, "How I moan an unclean thing, who might have been a dove."
Boo Radley is portrayed as en evil figure for most of the novel, mainly due to rumours circulating about him. For example, Jem is told by Miss Stephanie Crawford (the town gossip) that Boo “[drives] [a pair] of scissors into his [father’s] leg, pull[s] them out, wipe[s] them on his pants, and resume[s] his activities” (11).Boo’s innocence is shown, however, when Jem says to Scout; “I think I'm beginning to understand why Boo Radley's stayed shut up in the house all this time. It’s because he wants to stay inside"(231). This passage reveals to the reader that Boo Radley is not a figure to be afraid of, but to be pitied. Boo is afraid of how Maycomb will judge him, much like how the blacks are judged and prejudiced against by the whites.
He tried to save his wife from the humiliation and the torture she was about to endure, but she made it very clear through her trial how she felt about him. “‘I have my own man?” Mu glanced at her husband and smirked. She straightened up and said, “My man is nothing. He is no good, I mean in bed. He always comes before I feel anything.’” She treats her husband poorly in front of the whole town, even after he tried to help her out.
The holidays and birthdays they felt lonely cause they was not with family and friends, instead the white tell them what they can and cannot do. We are much better than that. They see and hear things in the prison cell the beating, lies, torture. When they take all of your dignity from you, what will you have left, just a number? Some don’t know how to feel to be hug, kiss, and love because they were locked up so long.
That forced a few changes in Brett’s behavior and lifestyle but in the end nothing prevailed. This next text I am about to speak about is also a very good example of institutions, where as the “prison farm” I spoke of earlier this text which is named “One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest” Directed by Milos Forman in 1975 is about a mental hospital but the man sent there ( Jack Nicholson ) finds the head nurse a lot more dangerous than the inmates themselves. Randle Patrick McMurphy ( Jack Nicholson ) thinks he can get out of doing work while in prison by pretending to be mad. His plans are rapidly backfired when he is sent a “mental asylum”. He tries to liven the place up on his arrival by playing card games and playing basketball with his fellow inmates, but the head nurse is after him at every turn.
He couldn’t take being confined in a house full of rules, guidelines, and schedules that he had never seen before. Huck wanted to be free once more. Suddenly he is kidnapped by his father, and his restriction worsens. He’s thrown into isolation. “Every little while he locked me in and went down to the store… got drunk and had a good time.
Thoreau used images such as the walls of the jail, the window in his cell, and the change that he went through during his night spent in jail to inspire his readers to live their lives freely and how they want to. The walls of the jail that Thoreau spent the night in inspired him to see how they seemed to be symbolic of how the Government only wants to lock people up physically, but not mentally. He quotes, “I stood considering the walls of solid stone, two or three feet thick, the door of wood and iron, a foot thick, and the iron grating which strained the light, I could not help being struck with the foolishness of the institution which treated me as if I
He feels guilty because he watched his friend get raped and he was too cowardly to intervene. A comparison I made to this was from the novel Night by Elie Wiesel. The narrator in that novel is going through a struggle as well. His internal conflict is whether or not he should help his father or if it should be “every man for his self”. In Night Elie Wiesel and his father are in a concentration camp.
The story of Malcolm X, “A Homemade Education” specifies how while he was in jail he read even in the dark, only with the glow of a corridor light. This shows that he was determinant to learn and that determination was a great characteristic on him. It also shows how determination is very important in our lives to succeed. For example, in the short story “College” by Anzia Yazierska she describes that she couldn’t jump over the hurdle and that all her classmates were laughing about her. It was embarrassing for her but she had a goal, to graduate from college.
Both Entrepreneurs in the movies decided to break out of their fairly defined environment. Reflect on each character what their "breaking point" was. Take also a look at other characters and how they shaped the process. As Jerry said in the movie, he started noticing long before his breaking point how in the “quest for the big dollars, the little things were going wrong,” These little things appeared small, including one athlete refusing to signing something for a little kid because it wasn’t the right brand of cards. Over time, even as Jerry’s success at SMI skyrocketed, these little things were building up on Jerry’s conscience.
