With people tormenting her about her cousins who were teen moms, or her father who made a fool of his drunken self in public, the poor girl felt like nothing more than dirt, and she wanted to be thought of as flawless and beautiful. Edith dreamed of being a celebrity, she wished to be a perfect girl, and to live in a perfect world "in which only married women had babies, and in which men and women stayed married forever." The shacks in which Eddie grew up were less than desirable, and supposedly thought of as contemptible, by people of a higher social class. When Edith moved to the boarding house, with set meal times, she was quite ashamed to think of how people living in the shacks didn't have meal times, they simply found any food they could and ate by themselves when they were hungry. The potato-chip plant that Eddie worked at
Therefore, Maria was an innocent victim of the French corruption that nicknamed her Madame Deficit despite she often gave examples of almsgiving. As Campan observed in her Memoirs of Maria Antoinette, when she married the dauphin, Maria Antoinette was a frightened adolescence who had to defend herself from the enemies of the court. And it was exactly “the mistreatment undergo everyday that made her decide to enjoy life, organize parties, look beautiful and avoid the senseless rule of the French etiquette.”12 Those logical wishes for a 19 year old were used by pamphlets as a way to damage even more the reputation of Maria Antoinette. In fact they exaggerated by assuring that “in one day Maria was able to spend more money than a thousand peasants living in Paris.”13 This was a pure calumny. Though it must be admitted that when Maria Antoinette became queen she refused to understand the privileges that came with the position, she was not the responsible for the poverty and the high inflation of France.

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. Although she does accept it, she takes a lot of her anger out on Trujillo and that's just another way her family influence her into rebellion. Minerva's family completely influenced her to become the person she was. Her great values, dad's arrest, and dad's cheating all got her more involved in the rebellion against Trujillo's evil regime. Minerva Mirabal taught the world something.

Pea 3: Shakespeare really extrudes Lady Macbeth’s disturbed nature to the audience with her clear ignorance of conscience early on in Act 1 scene 7 when describing killing a child for Macbeth if she said she would do it. “I would, while it was smiling in my face, Have pluck’d my nipple from his boneless gums, And dash’d the brains out, had I so sworn as you Have done to this.” The instantly noticeable violent imagery with “pluck’d” and “dash’d” provides clear ignorance of conscience to claim she would carry out an act like this and not be affected. Pluck’d provides an image of the baby being easily accessible and exposed to just be pluck’d. Dash’d provides the effect of violently thrusting the baby in an evil manner at increasingly high speeds to see the splatter of evilness and pain of the brain symbolising the end for the baby. Shakespeare has used “brain” because the imagery is further emboldened due to the fact it is gruesome.
Mrs. Gibbs confides in Mrs. Webb that she will be obtaining $350 dollars from selling an antique piece of furniture and that she would love to spend the money to either send Dr. Gibbs on a vacation or use it for she and her husband to travel to Paris. She has always dreamed of going to Paris but knows that if Dr. Gibbs had his way he would only want to go and see the civil war sites, as they always spend their vacations. It is made clear in this scene that men make call the decisions when it comes to money, even if it is the woman’s money. Mrs. Gibbs never gets to see Paris; she leaves the money to her son in her will. Another scene that shows how men make all the financial decisions is when George Gibbs asks for a raise in his allowance and his father is the one who must permit this, even though he originally asked his mother.
She told Mrs. Delacroix that she “clean forgot what day it was” (Jackson 215). Mrs. Hutchinson’s whole attitude changed when she found out she was the winner of the lottery. She immediately began telling the villagers “It isn’t fair!” when she drew the paper with the black dot (Jackson 218). It was ironic how Tessie was in a good mood until her name was announced, and then her attitude quickly changed to despair. Jackson used irony when she chose the title “The Lottery”.
Brigham Young once said, “Why do we worry about what others think of us, do we have more confidence in their opinions than we do our own?” One of the many stories in Tales From the Thousand and One Nights is “The Historic Fart, “ story about a man who lets out a loud fart on his wedding night. He is extremely ashamed and embarrassed, and runs off never to be seen again. This is a great example about how caught up people are in caring about what others think of them. Through the psychoanalytical approach we can see why people care what others think, how it relates to “The Historic Fart”, and how it is still prevalent in today’s culture. Everyone worries about what people think of them at some time or another, but why do we care so much?
