This applies to Jane's life when her home life wasn't great and it just kept getting worse, until she got to go to Lowood and she liked Lowood more then home. Then she went to work as a governess at Thornfield and to her it was a whole new experience for her, being appreciated. “The wheel breaks the butterfly.” My interpretation of this line is that the “wheel” is really life itself and the “butterfly” is a delicate young girls dreams and life or reality 'breaks' the dreams. The reminds me of Jane because reality hit her when she was young because of her family. She knew at a young age that life was rough and woman didn't have much say in anything.
The classroom of today has been transformed into a variable war zone. Teachers are forced to walk on eggshells at all times or risk being fired because of an enraged parent or possibly a student that felt mistreated because an author used the word “nigger.” Some students get the idea that they are being persecuted because of the material they are being taught. To some, it seems that people seem to look for an excuse to be offended and take action against whoever they feel needs to be punished for reading a book. Teachers are now doing their jobs with both hands tied and children are at a disadvantage because of it. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is written by a master of satire, Mark Twain, who uses his characters to reflect the world’s happenings around him.
In the novel, In the Time of the Butterflies, Maria Teresa Mirabal, the youngest of the four sisters, matures from a little, naïve girl into a young woman, who takes part in a revolutionary movement. By the end of the passage, Patria stands in awe, wondering when her little sister had grown up so quickly. While everyone believes in her growth – and indeed she has grown as she is working – the reality remains that Maria Teresa’s work restrains her from fully becoming independent as she is literally in the home, doing traditional women’s work. At first, Maria Teresa does not understand why her sister, Minerva, would ever want to force anyone out of power, even if he is a dictator. The way she speaks displays her childishness.
Orenstein began with an anecdote expressing her frustration with the princess theme, then talked about different product lines with the princess theme. From there she jumped from criticizing mothers that fell for the princess trend to how Disney’s princess product line started and finally finishes with references to studies about change in different aspects of a girl’s life. Along with their differences in approach, there also was a major difference in effectiveness. Poniewozik’s article was much more structured going from movie to movie explaining its impact on a girl’s life and stuck to one point which came across very effective. Orenstein, on the other hand, jumped from topic to topic without much of a connection and supported her claims with very little evidence, so it failed to be effective in getting her point
Now that’s growing up without a childhood. Jane Smiley seems like a great parent who cares about her children but to allow her daughters to put on makeup even entering their teenage years just isn’t right. Her girls where prematurely growing up, where behaving beyond their age, and with their only priority being beautiful at all times it seem to help them in the long run. As they burned off the “Barbie stage” and grew into more important things down their lives. Like for example Smiley talks about her older daughter, “Now she is planning to graduate school and law school and become an expert on woman’s health issues, perhaps adolescent health issues like anorexia and bulimia” (377).
By Lennie not speaking it really annoyed Curley and Curley thought Lennie was mucking him around so Curley got really angry at Lennie for not speaking and they ended up having a fight and they both got hurt. So there is a perfect example of how conflict is heightened when people are not permitted to speak and this shows that telling people what to do can sometimes lead to people getting hurt. Another reason why conflict is heightened when people are not permitted to speak is the part in the book where Lennie is with Curley’s wife and she tells Lennie to feel her hair, so of course, Lennie feels her hair but he starts patting it a little bit too hard so Curley’s wife starts screaming but Lennie covers her mouth so no one can hear her. If Lennie didn’t talk to Curley’s wife like he was told then she would still be alive and Lennie would probably still be alive as well. This tells us that sometimes
What a son of a b****,” I said under my breath, “to bring them to this.” Tears streamed from my selfish eyes over my selfish face. I sobbed, my fists clenched in shame. I wept for the guilt I had caused them to feel.” [Bell 158]. Crabbe is misled by his own pride thinking his parents will not care if he runs away but clearly they cared a lot leaving Crabbe in a pile of guilt. The teachers that have Crabbe in their class rooms are tough on him because they are preparing him for his adult life which is much different than his adolescent life.
The prince was not happy about the brawl disturbing the peace in the city and threatens them with a punishment of death. 9. They are worried about Romeo because he has been spending everyday locked in his room. He is also acting very rude and moody towards his family. 10.
However, when Scrooge sees himself alone in the school room he shows even more emotion. The fact that he is alone at Christmas may suggest his dislike for the festival in his present life. His loneliness could be due to bullying from the other children, and this may be the reason he has such a negative attitude towards people, as he is scared that they will not accept him for who he is. Whatever the reasons, this event causes Scrooge much sadness and ‘he sobbed’ showing that these experiences were obviously very hard for him. Scrooge recalls how the only company he had as a small child was that of literary characters from famous stories, and with this ‘he wept to see his poor forgotten self as he used to be’ meaning that his loneliness greatly affected his life, and caused him inner
