Sandy’s mother even once called her a “Whale of flesh” (Senna 22). But, she did not care. Her attitude was not how a woman should “act” in the eyes of society. She would fight with her husband Deck all the time. They would say malicious words back and forth to

They needed a place to rebuild their city so they asked their mighty Queen Eloonia, where she would like to build the new Eloon. Queen Eloonia knew that her enemies who destroyed the first Eloon could not go on water so she asked one of her close friends and god of the sea, Poseidon, if he knew of such a sea that could hold life on its surface. Poseidon thought long and hard but could not think of anything until Lailaps whispered into her father's ear, “What about The Sea of Calene, father?” Poseidon and Queen Eloonia agreed on The Sea of Calene and construction to begin the new city started. It took the builders two years to finish the elaborate designs of Eloon II, and every day, Lailaps and Fluctus would go to their cave in Modric and watch the builders until they were done building. Queen Eloonia then invited Poseidon, Brecho and Lailaps to the grand opening because they were the god, goddess and princess of the seas.
Connie rightfully believes her mother is jealous of her. “Her mother, who noticed everything and knew everything and who hadn‘t much reason any longer to look at her own face, always scolded Connie about it ‘Stop gawking at yourself.

Dr. Flint never feels a moment of self doubt or sympathy for Harriet because of the slave system.
Lai 1 John Smith Dr. K English 154 19 October 2011 Women and The Lottery Through a feminist perspective, women view themselves as strong individuals and would be appalled by a society viewing them as nothing more than a material property. In Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery”, women had no voice in regards to public decisions and actions. For example, in the short story the townspeople had a tradition to sacrifice one person in the hopes of reaping the best harvest.

A prominent figure in the Irish Fenian circle was O’Donovan Rossa, the founder of the phoenix society. The Phoenix National and Literary Society fitted in with the interests of the Fenians or Irish Republican Brotherhood acutely. Their main aims were to push Irish intellectuals towards nationalism, to gain support for the concept for liberation by force of arms and lastly, to promote cultural revival in Ireland, an island which has been stripped of it’s enriching identity under the grasping and greedy hands of the British.
