In essence she is a dictator and takes advantage of the other workers, and the patients. Nurse Ratched humiliates the poor patients, which makes them lose faith in humanity, and lose their dignity. They no longer feel like they are men because during the therapy meetings she always makes them talk about topics that are reasons for why their life is horrible. During the therapy
I always tried to make the day go by faster but Sean had his eyes on me at all times. I was at the register when our Assistant manager came to me and said there was a drunken woman roaming the store and to try and steer clear of her. I looked at her like an idiot what does she expect me to do walk away from the register and hope no customers come. I mean how bad could the
Curley’s wife explained to Lennie about being lonely and how difficult it is on her. “’I get lonely… You can talk to people, but I talk to nobody but Curley. Else he gets mad’” [Steinbeck 78]. Curley’s wife never has anyone to talk to; when she gets the chance she often ruins the mood. She did not want Lennie to hurt her, but Lennie is very unpredictable.
Each morning was the same. My first interpretation of her behavior was that her employees were always slacking off and not performing their assigned duties. Therefore, she had to be loud and strict with them. My second interpretation of her behavior was that she was a hard case or a perfectionist and no matter how hard the employees tried, she was not going to be pleased. Several days past and I did not see her come in.
Many women probably did not even know how to write because their were neglected from their studies or were probably always to busy doing what ever their husbands wanted them to do. Rich's life was different she knew something had to change and that is the main reason why she decided to write about it. I would consider her as a model to all the other women at the time, her essay should have been a way to encourage other women to get off their buts, stop washing dishes, stop having kids, get their life together and start studying! The sad part of this is that till this day not many women are being recognized for their hard studies, and it has been almost thirty four years since this has come out to the public. This failure to consider what women need from their college experience in order to succeed is, as Rich says, part of the old belief that women's primary goal is or should be marriage--and that "[t]oo much intelligence or intensity may make [them] unmarriageable" (215).
She asks “Wha’s the matter with me? Ain’t I got a right to talk to nobody?” (pg 87) She doesn’t get to talk to people very often, and when she saw her chance with Lennie, “her words tumbled out in a passion of communication, as though she hurried before her listener could be taken away.” (pg. 88) She was very desperate to want to talk to someone as dumb as Lennie, since normally people would try to avoid a mentally disabled person. She also wants to make sure that Lennie is listening to her when she says, “You listenin’?” (pg 88) Curley’s wife needs to be listened to, because just her talking wasn’t good enough for her. She needed the Lennie to understand her loneliness as well.
Curley’s wife wasn’t allowed to talk to nobody’ but she found any excuse to be outside and talk to everyone. No one there wanted to talk to her because they were scare they would get in trouble. Everyone said she would give you “the eye” that’s why everyone tried not to talk to her. Guys there said that she would do anything just so you will talk to her. If someone was to talk to her, everybody would think that that person and her had a think going.
The lifeless rut is symbolic of Janie's lost spirit, and the relentless wheels parallel working in the shop every single day, representing Jody's commands and wearing Janie down. The relationship between the rut and wheels ultimately illustrates Janie's submission to Jody, therefore creating the image that Janie is no longer herself. By placing Janie in this situation, Hurston enables the reader to see that Janie's opposition to her own actions are the cause of her unhappiness. Therefore, Janie can progress towards questioning her wants. Janie is moved to question who she is by her unhappiness and is
Where are the papers at that I told you to do about our financial issues? You looking dumb saying to yourself, I should have paid attention at the meeting yesterday. Now I am at risk of losing my job all because I did not pay attention in the meeting. The funny part is your boss fires you because you did not pay attention in the meeting. That day when the women came to speak, and class was over, I put myself in her shoes see what she went thru; it is hard to try to talk over like 30 kids in one room.
In fact, there’s nothing I can tell you. I told the girl to leave and she went. That’s the last I heard of her.” He is not taking any responsibility. Mrs Birling even says “Girls of that class”, showing us that she is very prejudiced and is making a judgement about someone because of their class.
