She became extremely uncomfortable with the tensions between her sister, the thought of her husband in combat at war, and the expectations of the team. She often complained that the “game” was becoming too hard and Dugan reminded her that it is suppose to be that way or else everyone would do it. “The hard is that makes it great.” (Marshall) Dottie refused to see how special and important her opportunity was. The entire league viewed her as the most talented player and this made her uncomfortable appearing as being #1 and the pressures that came with that. On the other hand, Dottie’s sister Kit represented the “fear of failure” athlete.
Berries, Roots In the poem “Grandmother”, by Douglas Nepinak, the poet discusses the loneliness and struggle of a woman who does not know English which creates a barrier in communicating with her family. The change I had to overcome was difficult but it had to be conquered; moving to a new house, which meant having to wake up earlier than I needed to get to school in time. Change can at times be hard for people to live with and eventually overcome. People often fear change in their lives because they have a sense of control and comfort; a sort of safety net on which they can rely on. Change comes with certain adjustments, and everyone deals with these adjustments differently; therefore, ultimately, the poet suggests that if these adjustments are not met with reality at the right time, it can be costly to everyone involved.
This conformity derives from the constant fear of alienation from a society which finds itself on the edge of a vast continent. Such fear within this conformist society makes it difficult for the authorities to admit that the claims made by the girls are fraudulent as to do this would defy the actions taken by those in authority. Those in authority understand that to go back on their actions not only makes the law appear fragile to those within Salem, but also directly challenges their power by appearing weak and indecisive. One of the most notable aspects of the play is the introduction of the spiritual and legal leaders within Salem as the ‘emergency’ they believe exists in their town develops. For the religious leaders, their introduction is caused by their desire to act upon their religious principles to target the problem.
Moreover curiosity is encouraged in the reader and through McEwan’s deliberate withholding of vital information, we can comprehend that the storyline is going to become an entangled ‘labyrinth’ that will become hard to ingest. Furthermore, McEwan also creates tension when he suggests that Joe and Clarissa are "partly protected from a strong, gusty wind," which describes the wind as being an unpredictable, torrent of a natural force that conveys a sense of an uncontrollable urgency in the atmosphere, something is about to happen that will ‘unhinge us’ all, leaving a complexity so large, that this event will be life changing for both Joe and Clarissa, never will they see the world in the same way again. McEwan then goes on to describe that the wind of the day in question was ‘transversing’ and ‘hurtling’, which suggests an impermeable strength of nature and destiny that Joe and Clarissa are helpless to defend themselves against. However before Joe, the narrator goes any further he says ‘Let me freeze the frame’, here McEwan is using contemporary photography terminology, which is used quite a lot throughout the opening chapter, he uses this technique to build the suspense up further and to draw the reader back into the novel. This
Deborah Tanner said “nearly everything is framed as a battle or game in which winning or losing is the main concern.” (Argument 4) each partner needs to be cognizant of this mindset and thru the utilization of mindful speech and listening be prepared to concede certain points. Often couples will completely lose focus on the current disagreement because one or both refers back to previous issues. This is unhealthy and should be avoided. Argument should never employ verbal abuse as a tactic to win. If this should occur an immediate apology can go a long way in repairing the damage.
In the Essay “Pc is Ridiculous!” by Alison, the purpose of this essay is to state her opinion on the fact that she believes Political Correctness (pc) is ridiculous to her! She finds it to be so ridiculous that she begins to insult the people who participate in pc. The thesis of this statement begins in paragraph two, although paragraph one does not state much of a thesis because of the way she begins to vent and ramble on how ridiculous it is. But in paragraph two she states the purpose of why we or the populous participate in pc. She states that if we continue to participate we will be a “repressive society” which to me seems very one sided, she speaks to everyone in this essay, because she wants everyone to know that if you participate in the pc, we are not only being ridiculous but we are being a “repressive society.” This essay, or what seems to be an essay, is not an effective argument because of the way she argues, she does not see things from both sides, but she chooses to voice her side and why she thinks it is ridiculous!
Within the short story "The Painted Door" Ann shows that she experiences feelings of depression, and isolation. Ann's negative mood is apparent through the story and can be seen at any time during the story. Ann's husband is named John and through the story she says many sarcastic and condescending comments, "plenty of wood to keep me warm - what more could a women ask for" (Ross 288). It is clear that Ann is unhappy with John and not satisfied with him. She does not want John to go to his father's house to check on him because she does not want to be left alone in the house when there is a snowstorm is taking place outside.
I think there were other reasons also, but the story points to this one in many places. First of all, Connie was not happy at home. To me Connie felt ignored by her dad and the other family members because they could give her the attention she wanted. This sort of relates to John Hughes movie "Sixteen Candles" Sam Baker struggles to get through the day on her 16th birthday because her entire family has forgotten about it and gave there attention elsewhere, to her sister wedding. Her father was most of the time at work and when he was home he didn't bother talking much to Connie.
These irresistible forces are like a boat being tossed around on the waves in a storm where it is ridiculous to fight against the relentless law of fate. The best way to illustrate compatibilisim would be to view it in terms as our destiny is broken up into checkpoints and at every checkpoint we are given a determined test or event where we have the freedom to choose one way or the other depending on how we freely choose our decisions. The wrong decisions of a checkpoint will lead the person on a new path that is turbulent like but that detour path will eventually cross their original path with the destined checkpoints. Depending on a person’s free will to carry out a checkpoint in a good or bad way will result in that person either taking a long elaborate way around as a punishment (of some sort) or if the person answers correctly than they will be rewarded for that good deed and take the more desirable path thus the direct rout to next checkpoint. On the other hand, fatalism approaches this view religiously that all past and future events are pre determined by God, and that a person’s power over his divine path is relinquished.
To be able to start and finish a challenge that outcomes are bad for you take courage. Atticus fights against society and Mrs. Dubose fights against herself. Despite their unwinnable battles, they still struggled against them, with
