The $40,000 was conveniently left in her care to be banked, her sister is away from home for the weekend, she is already upset, and disturbed that her lover’s dismal financial state has kept him from being able to openly declare their relationship. (Hitchcock, 1960) From the start, Marian knows what she has done is wrong and during her drive towards Sam and freedom she hears voices in her head admonishing her for her actions. Marian is the girl-next-door type and these actions have taken her far off course. (Thomson, 2009 p 16) When she pulls over to sleep, that is her only escape from the reality of what she has done. It must not be a very restful sleep, as she is found at the beginning of the “suspicious officer” scene to be slumped down across the front seat of her car.
Erin Brockovich In the movie Erin Brockovich, played by Julia Roberts, it starts out with a woman, Erin, trying to get a job at an office with absolutely no work experience at all for the job she is being interviewed for. As Erin is driving away in her “junky” car, she was side-swiped by a doctor who blew through a stoplight. Upon meeting with her attorney Ed (Edward) Masry, played by Albert Finney, she was in hopes of winning her case considering she is an unemployed, single mother with 3 children to support. After losing her personal injury lawsuit with the doctor that hit her, Erin strolls into her attorney’s, Ed’s, office asking/begging him for a job for reparation for him losing her case. Ed graciously, but not happily, gives Erin a job working as a file clerk in his office.
The funeral held in their house and her mother did most of the arranging of Steve funeral. She felt a sickening disgust towards the adult there, to her parents, and Steve parents. Moreover, some questions not asked until a person is mature enough to appreciate the answer. (KEY POINT) Twenty years later, the narrator and her husband Andrew took a trip in their new car with their two daughters. (SUPPORTING DETAILS) Cynthia was six and Meg was three and half.
The town’s people think she is going to kill herself because Homer had put an end to their relationship. Surprisingly, she is also seen buying men’s items that would be suitable for a wedding. Homer eventually leaves town along with Emily’s cousins. However, Homer soon returns and is last seen entering Emily’s house. Emily rarely leaves after that;
The fact that Powell states that the old woman has lost her husband and both her sons in a war; her house is her ‘only asset’ influences the audience to raise sympathy for her. Not only is she left with nothing apart from the seven-roomed house, she has only £2 pounds per week. This further highlights her helplessness and solitude. Through the use of semantic fields and passive verbs, the old woman is perceived as a frail victim. She is “abused”, “feared” and “would have been attacked” demonstrates her powerlessness in contrast to the violent image of the immigrants.
Maggie’s mother was also older and better suited to be a mother because she was older and more experienced however, Maggie’s father also left the family. Maggie turned out to be shy and refrained from social life since she did not leave the house after being burned. “She stoops down quickly and lines up picture after picture of me sitting in front of the house with Maggie cowering behind me” (Walker 746). Too much attention leads to Maggie clinging to her mother and not enough attention drives Emily to not seek out a close relationship with her mother. Both mothers are concerned with the status of their daughters.
Female Homelessness: living on the street with kids and anti homeless laws Alex Collins Prof. Hayes Workshopdraft Abstract Felicia M Dorsey was a woman supporting her family, she was evicted when her cost of living became to much and she was unable to pay rent. Today we are living in a society that could care less about the homeless population and this can be proven when you see the lack of effort that is put into helping those in need and the abundance of effort used to prosecute and incarcerate those less fortunate then us. Felicia M Dorsey made the rash decision to put her children in a storage shed while she went out to make a living. In her case we see how anti-homeless laws have affected her, and in the end she made the choice to break the law. I will also go into the topics of gender and how it affects those living on the street.

This passage is relatable to my life because although the women are wished luck in certain cultures she can be cast off by her family into a new world in a new house and style of living. A like college life for me I have not been able to ask my parents for help all too often but rather live my life by myself with my own money and experiences. Bateson sat in on a day of preschool for her daughter. While at school she realizes the big culture difference between the groups of humans when the teacher throws away all of the drawings done by the children during their drawing time. This passage shows the huge difference between a cultures that rewards creativity in children to not showing any concern in their creativity at all.
Since her mother spends her greater part of her time on Stan instead of using some of her off-duty hours on Annabelle, Annabelle lacks her mother’s attention. She just wants acceptance for actions. At home she feels overlooked and in the school she fades in the crowd. She is just an ordinary girl nobody really notices. Annabelle is having a hard time accepting the fact that her father and mother aren’t together anymore and her father has been replaced with Stan.
