Without the opposition being available the argument will lack meaning. Bosley presents her opposition effectively and strong. Throughout the article Cindy began to gain confidence towards winning the pageant. “I secretly believed that I stood a better chance … though she had the right name and the right body…” (Bosley 2). In contrast to Cindy’s new found self esteem, her mother seemed to uphold a strong lack of confidence in her daughter and in herself as well.
It also helped me grow as a person it taught me how to be more responsible and how to take control of a situation. I mean let me tell you in the beginning it was the hardest thing to get them to listen to me because they looked at me as another student not as there teacher. They never respected me and were always acting out of line. I slowly got better though they began to get use to me and the fact that they had to listen to me and I also began to listen to them instead of getting made I tried to listen. By the end of the year we had all gotten use to the situation and were sad to see the school year
Who are you? You think you’re so pretty?” (Oates 1). Thus, completely denying the reassurance needed for the normal development of the child. In addition, Kurkowski claims it adds to the resentment that Connie feels toward her mother causing Connie to "wish… her mother was dead and she herself dead" (Oates 1). It appears as though Connie's leap into adulthood will be sooner than later due to a complete lack of parental
I strived to succeed, so when I didn’t do my best I would get very upset with myself and try harder until I was the best. I hate the feeling of failure especially when I knew that I had tried my very hardest. My parents always told me try your hardest or don’t try at all, so anytime I lost at something I felt like I was letting them down. Like I said before the best feeling in the world is when your parents show pride in you, well how awesome that feels is coinciding with how horrible it feels when they are upset with me. Through the years I have learned what I am good at and what I don’t excel in.
I think out all the characters she made the smarter choices and she thought about the consequences. Even though she almost died by sacrificing herself for her sister she still did it for the right reasons she loved her
She did not find that a marriage service generated love; she did not enable her husband to recapture his youth through hers; nor could she compensate for that by running his home in the manner of an experienced housekeeper.” This quote illustrates that Elias Strorm was very cruel to her that she died after her second child was born. She was a beautiful, young woman who Elias turned into a very dull person. She always wanted him to be happy and be a good person, but that did not happen, he was just unfair and unpleasant to everyone. To conclude Elias Strorm’s wife is a good supporter of her husband as well as Emily Strorm. The role of women does demonstrate bystanders and supporters of their husbands and family member.
I did begin loosing weight, which generated in me the greatest appeasement, but I would always recoup that weight, and because of that my mother never managed to perceive anything. I was consumed with the visualization of being tiny and being just like other young girls my age. I was in love with the concept of being “perfect.” At this point in my life, I thought my weight was the most insoluble thing I would have to tackle, but little did I know how early I had spoken. In fourth grade, I noticed drastic alterations in my personal life. My father became more and more withdrawn from my mother, sister, brother, and I. I was naïve and ingenuous at the time, and didn’t
As the mother of two daughters I always want for my daughters what I feel was lacking in my life. It makes sense to me that Nanny’s idea of success and freedom is being wealthy and idle. That was what was literally beaten into Nanny. I think in real life, as with Nanny, mothers can get so blinded by their own agenda and their attempt to fulfill their own dreams through their daughter that they don’t stop to ask what their child wants. While I understand that this may not be the ideal way to handle a situation, I believe that Nanny did the best she could considering her experiences.
A final point Alonso speaks is “Most damaging of all, perhaps, is the fact that professors are human beings and therefore they will sometimes grade examinations unfairly” (198). Alonso wants her audience to sympathize with teachers. She wants everyone to know that teachers can also go through daily life events that can cause them to be unfair when it comes to grading. Joy Alonso does not use as much pathos in this article as she could to get her point across, but there is still a sense of reaching and a reader can truly feel that she cares about the
As for my weaknesses I would say I’m shy sometimes don’t work good under pressure and I don’t work well if someone is yelling at me or rushing me. Something that I could bring to ASB is showing people that I’m a hard worker and that you can count on me to have the job done as quickly as I can. One suggestion I have for ASB for next year is that I think the girl’s shirts should have a Vee neck collar around it so they don’t feel so suffocated by the collar. Also that we should have a day were we celebrate the ABS students for working so hard throughout the year. I’m really looking forward to be a part of ASB for next year.
