Rowlandson was pleasantly surprised by how nice the woman was to her. When it was cold they even offered her to come in and sit by the fire to keep warm, and gave her more food. They even offered to buy Rowlandson away from her master which is surprising being that they didn’t know her. That shows that the Indians she encountered were very compassionate and caring to Rowlandson even though they were strangers to
In the Scarlet letter we see Hester Prynne being charged of adultery. She has the choice of running away with her newborn Pearl, but instead she faces her punishment and isn’t ashamed of what she has done. With her punishment being wearing a letter A on her bosom, Hester walks the streets of her village with her head up and faces her punishment head on. Even with the verbal and physical abuse of her village she is never bad-tempered and rude with them, but instead she is polite and helpful. Eventually the village becomes more welcoming of her because of her cooperation.
For number 4, I think that because she is a puritan she thinks that everything happens for a reason. So therefore she probably thinks that this was something that was meant to be. For number 5, I think her true feelings are despair and even though she thinks that there is still some hope left she Is very let down. For number 6, I think that she describes it by something that is big like when she says it consumes her place. For number 7, I think that she is still very faithful to her god because she says how he will look over her and watch out for her.
As much as she tried, Anna could not completely mask her high class upbringing. Even from the moment she asked for a job her employers knew she was a lady (“For the girl’s accent, with its rolling “r”s and lilting intensity, quite failed to disguise her educated voice, as did the shabby coat and skirt the grace of her movements” pg 24). Inevitably, with Anna’s well-bred past came a lack of knowledge about the work and social rules that came with being a maid. Rather than simply struggling through, however, Anna borrowed and thoroughly read the three volumes of Domestic Compendium. The book taught her the general motions of being a maid including which people to curtsy to, nevertheless Anna decided that everyone was worthy of a curtsy and proceeded to do so to everyone she met (“I shall curtsy to the butler,’ decided Anna…‘And the housekeeper.
The main characters in these stories had their values imposed on them at a young age, and helped to shape who they’ve become and how they behave in society. Religion is a cornerstone for the characters in both stories. They are taught what is acceptable in their religion, in this case Christianity, and realize certain actions could alienate them from their social groups. In “Girl”, the girl is given specific instructions on how to behave, including “don’t sing benna in Sunday school” (Kincaid, 120). She is taught that singing folk music on the Lord’s day is improper, and even though she “doesn’t sing benna on Sundays at all and never in Sunday school” (120), she is explicitly told a few times not to do it.
The religious background of the author was also made known in the story, because there were a lot of morals inculcated in The Welcome Table. The main moral of the story is for us to never mistreat other people. She did this effectively as the perspective she was giving was from a person who was observing the woman. Nothing was really said as to how the woman felt in the story. Some of the observations presented in the story are “others saw cooks, chauffeurs, maids, mistresses, children denied or smothered in the deferential way she held her cheek to the side, toward the ground”, which can be directly connected to the feelings of the woman in the story, as well.
She baked bread for her father and attended her ailing mother day by day. Actually, Emily was busy in her daily life. Therefore, “death” in this poem seems indicated her love affection, it is also related to her love experiences in her life. “Death” seems equal to “Love” in this poem. On one hand, Dickinson experienced unforgettable love but all to die in the end.
This knowledge allows the author to effectively create dramatic irony. When Dee finds the quilts in the trunk and rubs her hands over the fabric we as readers can connect with Dee in the sense that she is educated and her perceived value of the quilt is different than that of her mother and sister, yet we can still honor Mama’s emotions those of protecting Maggie from her sisters’ callousness. Mama is naïve to the world outside of the rural south; Dee on the other hand is in living it. Mama does not understand where Dee's perceived values are coming from so the educated insight into Dee's
Florence Nightingale was a very nurturing nurse. When she was younger, she claimed she got a call from God asking if she would do well for him alone and not for the fame, she obliged to the commitment (Aller). Her obliging shows how she didn’t want to become world-renowned. Nightingale just wanted to be a nurse for the health of others. While serving the Crimean War, she had beds made for sick soldiers who had to rest on the floor (Aller).
Because of her unconditional willingness to take care of me, I have learned that in life it is important to consider others and not merely focus on your personal interests. This has pushed me to take care of my little sister more attentively and to help my mother around the house so that she doesn’t have to do everything herself. A few years ago, I got sick with the flu only a couple of days before my grandmother was set to travel back to Lebanon. My mother had work, my sister had school and my grandmother was suppose start packing. However, almost the entire two days she stayed by my side making me warm soups and teas, ensuring I was comfortable and keeping me company.
