She was determined to get a rise so she could afford to survive. Mr Birling noticed Eva boosting the spirit of his workers and convincing them to strike so he fired her, as any other business owner living in a big house would have done. (in those days) "We let them all come back... She had a lot to say - far too much - so she had to go!" Basically a woman had stood up to him and he didn't like it; so he fired her, not thinking about the consequences and the effect it would have on her life. Mr Birling made Eva homeless and penniless with no job and no family to go to for help.
Many men fell for this and in my opinion she became very powerful in a sense. I believe Cathy was a very selfish character. While reading East of Eden I thought that she might have had mental problems. I was furious that she tried to kill her baby and later on lied about why say tried to do such a thing. Then when she gave birth to her twins sons, she acted as if she did not want them and I believe that Cathy was selfish was because she shot her husband in the shoulder.
The story is enjoyable for its humorous portrayal of a family embarking on a vacation; O'Connor has been unforgiving in her portrayal of these characters. Misfit can be determine as sympathetic because he was wrongly punished, he had no other option than killing the family and polite and well mannered. Firstly, Misfit was wrongly accused for killing his father and was punished and sent to jail. I think Misfit did not killed his father because if he did he would remember it. He asks for the proof and paper work from cops but they did not show him.
Minerva's father did something to enrage her. He cheated on her mother. When she found out she got very mad and I think she might have taken it out on Trujillo a little bit. However Minerva finally does accept what happened as irreversible. She tells her father "I know the clouds have already rained" as if to say that it happened and there's nothing anyone can do.
Atticus believes that beating is wrong and possibly gives them worse punishments like the time he sent Jem to say sorry to Mrs Dubose after Jem cut down all her flowers. If Atticus punishes the children, like when Scout punched her cousin Francis, Atticus explains why it was wrong. Atticus is caring towards his children and sees his role as a parent to look after them and bring them up well. We see that when both families where hit by the depression Atticus used his spare money to pay for education, food and clothes, unlike Bob who spends all
Shawna became angry, she felt that is was not true and the only reason she cared so much was because she was doing it for the family.

This is eveident in the peice, 'compensation Shock'', here 'bereaved parents lash out'' at the paltry amount they were compensated for the death of their son. Black humor is clear from Keller's choice in articles, as it evidently suggests that one can put a monetary value on Human life. This obssesion with the pessimism of human nature stems from kellers experience in world war two. The brutal death of his wife and son irrevocably altered Keller's veiw of humanity. Keller's intention in showing Paul his ''textbook' was to ''educate'' him in the real nature of humanity.
Her prejudice side shows through on their trip when she shares stories about a little nigger boy. During the trip, she complains about the many differences in the past and present behaviors of good people (O'Connor). John Desmond tells the readers that the Grandmother’s lying and selfishness are directly the cause of the accident and death of her family (Desmond). The Grandmother’s sins should not be a death sentence but are they forgivable in the eyes of Jesus? The Grandmother tried to convince the Misfit he was a good man in order to save herself (O'Connor).
In the Pigman, many lies were told. John and Lorraine lied to Mr. Pignati about being charity workers. They felt very guilty and just started confessing about the whole lie. They felt very relieved after, but then Mr. Pignati had lied about something, too. His wife,Conchetta, did not go visit her sister in California, but she passed away.
Because fear and pain does not play a role on this utopian society, let alone death, the term “Release” was created to veil the true meaning of death. When Jonas found out the true meaning of Release through watching his father release a baby, he felt so angry and confused that his own father killed a baby with his own hands. However, the Giver calmed him and explained to him: “Listen to me, Jonas. They can’t help it. They know nothing….
