He is unaware of the tragedy that has taken place there and is frustrated and irritated by the silence and refusal of anybody to answer any questions regarding Mrs. Drablow, extending the mystery. Mr. Daily whom he meets on the train hints at the bleakness of the place. When Kipps jokes about “telling strange tales of lonely houses”, he gave Kipps a look that made hum shudder at “the openness of his gaze”, this foreshadowing along with the “Alarm” and “Suspicion” of the landlord of the Griffin Arms when Kipps told him about his mission.

It was when John Clarke compares women to sugar canes. “There’s plenty of men dat takes his wife lak dey do a joint un sugar-cane.” It was used to show how men used women for all their needs and when they’re done they just throw them out. Another metaphor she used was when Delia compared her relationship with Sykes to a flower. “Anything like flowers had long ago been drowned in the salty stream that had been pressed from her heart.” Her relationship with him wasn’t cared for like a flower should have been. Therefore their relationship died because of that.

Kimberly Tinoco Professor Staley English 103 14 December 2009 Cats, Claws, and Controversy It was about 10 years ago when our family cat, Sebastian, went missing. He was a beautiful, long haired, black and white male cat that had a dominate alpha male personality. He was an indoor cat and loved to look out windows and sometimes tried to sneak out to the front yard. One afternoon he was successful and went missing for days. My family and I grew weary as each day passed, hoping for the best but fearing the worst.
When I was growing up, I constantly was under a struggle to please my father. He never was satisfied by my actions no matter how hard I tried. I didn’t quite understand his anger toward me until I accidently walked in on him and my mom, Kathleen, fighting. I stood listening at the key hole to hear father bellowing that I was an unsightly, crybaby and was better of dead, or worse a girl. The room smelled funny; somehow, my instincts told me that it
A major difference that I noticed while watching the movie is the director’s characterization of Tea Cake. The director does not include many scenes that could possibly portray Tea Cake in a negative light. For example, when Mrs. Turner brings her brother to meet Janie with hope that Janie will take interest in him, Tea Cake does not like this and before the week is out he whips Janie (Hurston 147). Tea Cake beats Janie to relieve his own insecurities and because being able to whip her reassures his possession of Janie (147). I believe the director leaves this out in fear that this incident would change the viewers’ perspective of Tea Cake and Janie’s relationship.
