Impossible. It couldn't be” (Larsen 70). This citation shows the reader that Irene is unable to differentiate between the surface and the reality. She is quickly drawn to false assumptions which is why near the end of the novel, she begins to slowly lose her mind. Furthermore, throughout the novel, Irene is constantly saying how she does not want to see Clare anymore and keeps her away from the black population of Harlem.
She showed no signs of getting better. In fact, her condition was just deteriorating. Tracy Latimer's life wasn't just not beneficial, it created immense suffering. Her pain could not be treated by anything stronger than a Tylenol. This is where the true answer to the morality of Robert Latimer's actions lie; which caused more suffering for Tracy Latimer, life or death?
Through the voice of the speaker, Livesay complains that she feels society has pressured her into a domestic life. She is resentful of this pressure, as she feels that it has held her back from achieving her goals, most notably success as a poet. In the last stanza, the lines, “And so the whole that I possess/Is still much less” highlight the fact that the speaker feels she has not achieved anything close to the greatness of the Emilys. She furthers this resentment by comparing herself to three women that she respects: Emily Bronte, a novelist, Emily Carr, a painter, and Emily Dickinson, a poet. None of the three Emilys married or had children, whereas Livesay married and had two children.

These kinds of “businesses” cannot be considered acceptable. The same website also states a standard day for a woman working in one of these establishments works a 10 AM – 3 AM day and has sex with about 6-10 men everyday (The Polaris Project). People think they have had a hard day at work when they work a 9 hour day job. These women work 17 hours a day, are forced to have sex with multiple strange men a day, and are most likely being forcibly held in their workplace.
Atticus Mayella Ewell is just in shock. I wouldn’t expect a lady who has gone through physical maltreatment to speak up about the events that happened leading to this trial. Her father seems to have input such corrupt ways of living into his children. I find it absolutely shameful of their living and obloquies towards higher authority figures and themselves. What I find strange is the archaic of Mr. Ewell’s abuse on Mayella and the unfortunate handicap Tom Robinson contains.
