That is why they could not find a motive. They just saw the small details in the kitchen as Mrs. Wright being a lazy house wife. They did not see that most women of there time was very neat and organized. The men were blind to all the women’s responsibilities and interests. The women looked at the small picture and found out the reason for her murdering Mr. Wright.
Gender inequality was normal during the time this story was written. John Steinbeck did an excellent job with the character Elisa Allen. He showed how women were not treated equally and revealed Elisa’s emotional toll on the situation. Although Elisa’s interaction with the tinker was quite exciting and made her feel like a woman again, it had no effect on her in the long run to change her current situation. Elisa did however, got dolled up for her husband in the
Although, she does admit even she was shocked when listening to the speech, as she explains “the line was not believable”. From this I can conclude that source one doesn’t wholly hold Churchill responsible for the 1945 election defeat, however the reliability of the source is questionable as it is bias towards the conservative party. Source two, an extract from Lord Butler’s memoirs, clearly shows opposition to not only Churchill but also the conservative party, Lord Butler for example describes Churchill’s speech as a “negative attack on the labour party” and believed that he should have instead focused on “post-war policies”. By describing Churchill’s use of the word “Gestapo” as a “strategic blunder” shows that Butler is blaming Churchill in having played a role in the defeat of the 1945 election. Although both members of the conservative party, Butler and Churchill were political enemies, this is evident when looking at the extract: “a poor third place to the concentrated exploitation of Churchill’s personality” – this is a personal attack on Churchill’s actions.
In others words, Americans felt Irish Americans immigrants happened to be lazy drunks and didn’t belong here. Americans felt that Irish immigrants brought over diseases as well, for example, Kevin Kenney says, Irish immigrants endured high rates of cholera, yellow fever, tuberculosis and pneumonia (Kenney). These caused a big scare among Americans and perhaps cause some of the discrimination. Another form of discrimination also came in the work place, such as, when Irish immigrants need to find work. Richard Jensen says, “The Irish American community harbors a deeply held belief that it was the victim of systematic job discrimination in America, and that the discrimination was done publicly in highly humiliating fashion through signs that announced ‘Help Wanted: No Irish Need Apply.’” Unlike men women sometime had better opportunities; Richard Jensen writes, “newspaper ads for women sometimes did include NINA, but Irish women nevertheless dominated the market for domestics because they provided a reliable supply of an essential service” (Jensen 405).
The beginning of the story starts out with her encounter with the homeless. You know she feels fear because she grips the stroller almost like she's ready to run. The people around her and across the streets act like they don't see the homeless guy. We don't know if she gives the money out of compassion or fear but she gives him money. Then up the avenue is a small French bread shop where she goes to solve her hunger and get warm.
This chapter begins with a description of the hamburger stands and diners on Route 66. The typical diner is run by a usually irritated woman who nevertheless becomes friendly when truck drivers consistent customers who can always pay enter. The more wealthy travelers drop names and buy vanity products. The owners of the diners complain about the migrating workers, who can't pay and often steal. A family comes in, wanting to buy a loaf of bread.
Albeit Rachel finally ate the unkosher meat, Abraham’s mother’s reaction to Rachel’s actions mirrored that of the Orthodox Rabbi’s at the treyfa banquet. Both Abraham’s mother and the Orthodox Rabbi’s at the banquet were appalled and reacted negatively to the fact that unkosher meat was being served and consumed. Prior to consuming the meat, which ultimately improved her health, Rachel had jeopardized both her children and herself by not eating meat. Despite the fact that Rachel had been living so far away from Jewish life, she was still determined to maintain her Jewish values and
Sammy was able to draw conclusions about the girls that were walking around the store such as calling one of the girls “the queen” just based on the way she looked and acted. Although not as detailed, while working I often look at the people who are shopping and draw conclusions such as what kind of job I think they have or how many kids I think they have. The final aspect that I can relate to is the part of the story where Sammy gets annoyed with his boss and quits. Sammy doesn’t like the way that his boss, Lengel, talks to the girls and in an attempt to impress them, quits his job. I would never have the courage to quit my job and tell my boss that they were not treating someone right but I have thought about it before.
The duo introduced themselves with a smile as Carlos and Rosana, owners of the Brazil Food Market of Port Saint Lucie. The store was empty aside from the three of us and they invited me to have a seat with them. I explained my cause; that I was here to take notes for an essay but also to absorb information about their culture and customs. Since the store was empty, they said, I could ask whatever necessary but to observe I should come back on the weekend when it is busier. One of the first things we talked about was their business because everybody has to eat; food is something that unites us as people.
With Sammy watching them he ends up miscounting money for a customer and because of that the woman gives him a rude looks a seems to be a tad bit upset. Sammy lets that go though and continues to watch after the girls. Lengel the manager finds the girls in the store and it seems that it is offended by what they are wearing inside his grocery store. “Girls, this isn’t the beach”( Page 134) he says to them. Queenie responds with explain to Langel that her and her friends are there just picking up a few small things that her mother asked for.
