They are sick of the mounting pressures put upon them; sick of working long hours for little pay, sick of obeying the law when the law is nowhere to be seen for them when they may need it the most. Yet, step outside the barriers of society and one is looked upon as strange, as someone not to be trusted and looked upon with suspicion. Those who are on the fringes of society, those who live by their own rules and regulations, need no government to govern them. They are their own law, and so their minds are free to discover other things. Indeed, they receive their education by experiencing life.
However, he is never accepted. Animals and Humans alike shun this creature without so much as a chance of consideration that he might not be so “different.” Progressing through the plot, Grendel’s alienation begins to parallel a line traveled by the struggling youth as they grow and change to find their place in the world. There are too many times in today’s world that many people and things are avoided because they
And then she was still, for Lennie had broken her neck”(100). And so, she was dead. Well, this quote “I don't like curley. He ain't a nice fella” clearly means that Curley was rude and not nice to his wife. She did not have a lot of privileges like she couldn’t talk to anyone else but Curley because Curley would get mad.
Nothing in the projects were easy for them, and they had to stick together to survive. Venkatesh found out that no one was happy in the projects but had no choice or voice since the gangs the voice or powerful women like
Everyday people stand by and stare as an innocent person is picked apart by the harsh words or tainted comments that are thrown at them by this so called “bully”. Although we wish we could do something we feel weak and think that leaving and not looking back will stop making us feel guilty. This is not true as the person’s suffering continues making them feel more alone than ever before. They watched their only chance walk away with no remorse or consideration of what’s really going on or how they feel. Whether they are being physically, emotionally or sexually abused you’re still responsible for doing nothing about it.
I do not have any close friends any longer. In college, I had a few friends, but never really got to the point of “closeness” with them. I always felt that they would never accept me for me, especially if they knew that I came from a poor family and had a father that was serving a life sentence for beating my mother. Finding this out, I am sure that they would just assume that I was just as horrible of a person. If I had to choose one person that I am closest to, it would be my mother.
In the group is Alison Reynolds the misfit, Andrew Clark the jock, Brian Johnson the geek, Claire Standish the princess and John Bender the rebel. It is apparent that they all have stressed relationships with their parents, are unsure about their future and have immense pressure from their peers (Loukides, 30). Allison Reynolds is a strange, unusually silent character, who is a mystery to most people. She did not do anything to deserve detention, except that she had nothing to do on this day and decided to go into detention in order to find company. Her parents are uninvolved and ignore her.
They had a huge fight that involved the kids screaming and the police had to come to help settle the argument down. This argument led to a later divorce which they both blame B&W for because they placed an unbearable strain on their
Some would think that they will miss their families and relationships and most of all, love. But the people in Utopia have never experienced any of these. They were brought up in conditioning centers and feel that parents and family are primitive. The mere sound of the word annoys them. Monogamy is discouraged by the utopian society and considered improper “Four months of Henry Foster, without having another man…why, he’d be furious if he knew…” This restrains people from getting too emotionally involved and putting their loved one’s needs before the society’s needs.
Everyone on the ranch called Curleys Wife a ''tart'' because she flirts and the ranch men said ''Shes got the eyes''. Nobody on the ranch understood Curley's Wife and seen that Curley made her life very unpleasant, the only reason Curley's Wife flirted with other men was because Curley made her feel so isolated and alone. She had no friends or anyone to talk to on the ranch and Curley treated her as more of a possesion than his
