Twain’s representation of Huck and his horrible home life is accurate to a degree. Instead of living with the Widow Douglas, Huck would have most likely be sent to an orphanage and later would be placed with a family at random.

Although no actual Foster Care program was official back then, they would most like stated be placed in a family at random with no background check required like present day.

The Veldt In the story, “The Veldt,” by Ray Bradbury, George and Lydia failed their children by spoiling them to an unreasonable extent. As parents, George and Lydia did not teach Peter and Wendy valuable, basic life skills and how to be respectful while being disciplined. Instead, the compelling, in control machines took over George and Lydia’s important role of parenting. Because Peter and Wendy have never learned an appropriate behavior and how to be obedient while being disciplined from their parents, they do not know how to calmly control themselves when they do not get their way. This is demonstrated when George shuts down the nursery and the children are in a distraught frenzy “The two children were in hysterics.
They “were considered antisocial” (Flack, 4) and were not accepted into the town. They did not communicate with anyone unless spoken to. Therefore the people could not get to know them.

They were the one struggling family in a prosperous community.” (Flack, 3) This was embarrassing to the town and “They were considered unattractive physically.” (Flack, 3) Later on in the story, the town’s people noticed Andy and his family’s relationship with the Duvitch’s.
We can see that Curley’s wife is portrayed by Steinbeck as a ‘tart’ in the beginning of the book, she is not cared for or liked by many of the men on the ranch at all as she irritates them and they think that she is not loyal towards Curley. However, by the end of the book the reader feels sorry for her as we see deeper inside her and see how lonely she is, she only has the image of a tart because she is so alone and the only way she knows to make friends is by being a flirtatious person. The first mention of Curley’s wife is in chapter 2 when George and ‘the swamper’ are talking about her. They say that she is ‘Purty ... but- well-she got the eye’. They mean that she is always looking and flirting with other men.
