Abigail used to be a servant in the Proctor household, but once Goody Proctor found out about John and Abby’s relationship, she fired Abigail. This caused Abigail to have vindictive feelings towards Goody Proctor. Ignorance is displayed through Giles Corey, another character in Act 1. His description at the bottom of page 40 explains how he is an ignorant man. “He didn’t give a hoot for public opinion, and only in his last years-after he had married Martha-did he bother much with the church.
The characters in Obasan were being forced by their aunt Obasan to keep their culture while society was telling them to change and fit in. Both novels had a problem with society; society was always trying to control everyone and this was an issue Obasan and The Crucible share.

Even after WW2 many Canadian citizens were very racist to Japanese Canadians and this made it very hard for them to succeed in life.

When she meets up with Adam near the beginning, you'd never even begin to predict what would happen throughout the entire book. What makes it sad though, is toward the end it seems like she can't find anyone to rely on because she's disconnected herself from her family and friends, and instead takes refuge beneath the wings of 'the monster', letting it guide her through, knowing she's strongly addicted. Ellen leaves you with the knowledge that she may never get off her addiction, and partially with the moral of the story: drugs are addictive and harmful. They can really mess you up. The book actually makes you learn a lesson, without knowing anything at all.
Very silly choice if you ask me’. She is very different to other parents because normal parents will complement their child even though they were horrible but Gwen instantly lists all the negatives factors of the play and say Meg was terrible. Gwen’s continuous nagging creates a barrier between her and Meg which Gwen is not able to get out of her domestic world. Furthermore, when Gwen was complaining to Jim that she did not have her keys, Jim tries to convince Gwen that he does not have the key but she tips all the contents of her handbag on the floor which shows she is in a very irrational nature. Gwen has a tendency to repeat a lot of words in order to get a message across which also can show anxiety, especially when she says ‘No.
“Why don’t you keep your room cleaned like your sister? How’ve you got your hair fixed – what the hell stinks? Hair spray? You don’t see your sister using that junk (Oats 899).” Connie and her father did not have the best relationship either because her father “didn’t bother talking much to them (899).” Even to an extent Connie “wished her mother was dead and she herself was dead and it was all over (899).” So it is easy to think that her personal feeling to her family and her suicidal thoughts could influence her dream in which Arnold Friend threatens to kill her family and ultimately to kill Connie. Arnold Friend was mentioned early in the book when Connie was hanging out with a boy she had just met and hooked up with for the night.
The prenatal Cash was a part of her, someone inside of her from whom she could never isolate herself. In the reluctant mother’s mind, Anse Bundren was to blame for corrupting her sense of privacy and would be forever dead to her. In this way, she severed what was supposed to be the most sovereign relationship in a woman’s life and created a rift through what was to come of the Bundren family. As the family grows, Addie develops misconceptions about her relationship to her children. Cash had violated her aloneness, while Darl was deprived of the love that Addie poured so strongly into the void that was her third son.
This explains Miss Emily’s house being the only one left in the neighborhood, “lifting its stubborn and coquettish decay” (1). She fancies her childhood ‘till death. * Emily also refuses to let go of Homer Barron, a treat that she was never allowed to have.

Holden lives a very mixed up life. Holden is depressed because he learns that he is a failure after leaving Penecy since he flunked every subject except for English. Sally Hayes depresses Holden as well because he doesn’t understand why she wouldn’t want to run away with him. He says to Sally out of no where, "Look...here's my idea, how would you like to get the hell out of here"" (132; ch. 17).
The story made me experience an emotionally drastic change of mood; I had a melancholic spirit. I felt pity for Homer, who did not have any intention to marry Emily until he met his death in her bedroom. I also felt the same for Emily whose father; Mr. Grierson had rejected many suitors who had come to seek a hand in marriage to her. The girl later lacks someone to marry after her father’s demise until she becomes infatuated with Homer who was not interested in marriage. “A Rose For Emily” has had a profound impact on me.
When these phrases are heard for the first time, the immediate responds is to ignore; mainly because it sounds prattle. Needless to say, for those individuals who decide that the warning isn’t for them, they always become involved in situations that make them wish that were smart enough to listen to them. In the book, “An Evening in Guanima,” there are many stories where the characters refuse to listen and made grave mistakes or learnt valuable lessons.

His first downfall was not being able to have a child.
