Women during this time were only allowed to go so far and do so much without being restrained it seemed like. She doubts herself in letters she sends to her female friends who sympathize with her problems in choosing her partner for marriage. As a result to her resent of her thoughts about female powerlessness, and her outspoken thoughts of marriage. Virtue also resulted in achievement of morality, which was identified with marriage. Also Eliza resisted the sexual double-standard which I found really amazing.
While her getting worse than before, it dramatically shows the procedure of being enlightened in case of rising of female powers. There are several evidences that may represent narrator’s mental instability and they seem to be originated from John’s oppressive way to treat her. The narrator is afraid that John doesn't seem to understand her state fully enough. "Personally, I believe that congenial work, with excitement and change, would do me good." (1279) She knows doing her favorite work―writing―and traveling around beautiful places may be helpful to recover her nervous hypochondria, but she just tries not to make John irritated by doing nothing.
I like the friendship between Miles and Phelps because they get closer as the book goes on. I also liked the relationship that Miles and Angie have and how it explains that she used to be his babysitter before he had a crush on her. The fact that Miles’s parents get a divorce and separate during the book is realistic because that happens right now in modern times. What is very memorable about Miles is that he is so smart and friendly to people, even to the Elusions. I think that with the title “The Highest Tide”, and the fact that Florence gave the prediction of the highest tide; it’s predictable.
The books tone also includes romance, which Kluger included through T.C. and Alejandra and their love hate relationship. I think intriguing would be the best word to define this book because the author made the reader wanting more, to see what happens next every time the students had one of their situations. One major example of this would be when T.C. discovers he is in love with Alejandra and writes her a note telling her he was interested in starting a relationship.
It’s easy to find a cheesy book that is so cheesy it isn’t even funny and books that are so serious that you could read the entire novel cover to cover without a single facial expression. This novel is just the perfect bit of seriousness and comedy at the same time. Lastly, this book is educational. What would be the point of the book if it didn’t teach a lesson? This novel teaches some important and valuable life lessons that can change the way people are viewed, and help one to understand why they behave the way they do.
Women did not usually participate in political issues, however many were asked to voice their opinion when the taxing of sugar and stamps occurred. When voice their opinions they still must be careful of their words. For example to a letter to her friend, Charity Clark wrote, “she feared, she wrote that her discussion of politics would destroy the ‘Idea you have of [my] female softness’” (Berkin 17) In order for many so save their genteel appeal, women suppressed their thoughts. Ironic how women were asked to speak up and support their cause and when done, there may have been a change they would be judged. Women often
A Book Of Hilarious Stories: Me Talk Pretty One Day When they say don’t judge a book by its cover, Me Talk Pretty One Day is definitely a book you want to be sure to go by this rule. When picking this book I was really hesitant because the cover looked as if it were going to be uninteresting.

Though, their “duties” may be completely different, each makes their writing all the more better. In Anne Dillard’s To Fashion a Text, she told her readers right away that she wasn’t going to write an autobiography, because it would be dull to read. Dillard knows that her work must be interesting in order for the reader to continue reading the piece of work. To make sure her writing
It not only changes our view on Addie, but our view on the novel as a whole. Addie's voice is imparative to the reader's outlook and while we can sense it through the voices of others, her chapter best sums up her mind. So, what if Addie's chapter did not exsist? For one, we would never have comprehended her mind and the way it twists around things like how she feels about her children and husband. We would have all thought of her as still the same loving mother who watches her son, Cash, methodically build her coffin not because she is ready and wanting soon to be in it, but because he is her son and she loves to see him work.
He developed Lenina's gnawing problem to heal slowly but surely as she struggles to conform to the influences of her society, which she has known since "birth." Although these mannerisms and ideas that she has had rooted in her mind have had a significant influence on her development as a person, she was still able to convey who she was meant to be as an individual.

To have the novel end with such a bright tone and mood enables the audience to see and feel how Huxley wanted to portray Lenina as a human being and not another robotic entity of a dreary utopian
