If only her mother had also encouraged her to be careful, taught her how to restrain her self, and to always listen to her guardian; then Leuce would have had an easier time looking after the child, and keeping her safe. Persephone wasn't especially hard to look after though, which was the whole reason why Leuce had grown to relish her. She was quite obedient and well mannered enough for a child, but she's a Goddess and Gods don't have it in them to take orders from nymphs; its innate in them, in Demeter, in Hades, even Persephone

In Dickens's descriptions, the words "neglect" and "decay" insistently reoccur throughout the novel.

To add to the mystery, when Arthur gets woke up by Spider, there is a noise which Arthur is obviously scared of and when he first wakes up he refers to the silence as ominous and dreadful. Furthermore after this event happens, the weather changes to a much “colder and damp” feeling which shows us that Hill has decided to connect weather with the goings on in the house. Once the noise has started again, Arthur refers to his job as “ghost hunting” which adds the ominous terror of what is in that room. To add to the terror as it was a moonless night, there would be very little for him to see with only his torch. Hill then revisits one of the terrors Arthur has already experienced with ‘The sound of a pony and trap’, by repeating the noise of a pony and trap, in the distance, crashing into the quicksand ahead, and as it was a moonless night, only the sound would be heard and nothing of the pong or the trap would be seen.
In the 1930s, during the Great Depression, young girls wore dresses, helped with the motherly duties, and were very mature because of the many responsibilities they had to take on. In the book To Kill A Mockingbird the character Jean Louise Finch, also known as Scout, did not fit the role of an ordinary girl in the 1930s. She was the total opposite. For example, Scout did not have a mother, she was immature, acted like a tomboy, she fought with other kids, and she judged others before knowing their whole life. Scout did mature throughout the book through standing up for what she knew what was right, becoming a young lady, and not to judge people.
