The Magdalene Sisters is a 2002 film, written and directed by Peter Mullan, about four teenage girls who were sent to Magdalene Asylums (also known as 'Magdalene Laundries'), homes for women who were labelled as "fallen" by their families or society. The homes were maintained by individual religious orders in the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland. Peter Mullan has remarked that the film was initially made because victims of Magdalene Asylums had received no closure in the form of recognition, compensation, or apology, and many remained lifelong devout Catholics. [2] Former Magdalene inmate Mary-Jo McDonagh told Mullan that the reality of the Magdalene Asylums was much worse than depicted in the film. [3] However, since the publication of the Irish government's McAleese Report on the Magdalene Laundries, the depiction of the abuse in the film has been questioned by the blogger Brendan O'Neill.

Learning and comprehending a life of unhappy wife in The Awakening novel namely Edna Pontellier, a dual concept of life and death is briefly sensed here. A usage of formal criticism is used in this essay because the theory focuses only on the content of the novel itself and the content which will be analized is specified into life and death concept. Life and death in Edna Pontellier’s character is not about the lexical meaning of them, but more to the emotional and physical meaning. The title The Awakening advises the idea of rebirth, renewal, and life, on the other hand, the main character who takes the major part of her awakening feels the sense of death so briefly in her life. Edna’s life which contains of unhappy marriage, adultery affair, and a force to be mother woman creates a complex character and problem, and somehow a metaphor of life and death contemplates her life in the story.

I would recommend this book to families and friends, since it has a very important life lesson. “The Secret Life of Bees” is, once again,
