“The fact that Connie’s interaction with Friend occurs on a Sunday but ‘none of [the family] bothered with church’ leaves her vulnerable and suggests that religion could . . . provide physical if not spiritual protection” (Caldwell). Caldwell continues this thought, saying “Although all the other members of Connie’s family go to a picnic, an activity that could replace .
For one, in the book Janie tells Phobe her story from when she found out she was colored, the movie did not have that in it. Also in the movie they do not seem to have the same heavy accent they seem to have in the book. When Janie first saw Jody in the book, it was an instant attraction, in the movie, Janie had to talk to him for a while till she felt something, also, they werent chasing pigs in the book. In the book, after Janie had shot Tea Cake, she was sent to trial for commiting murder. In the movie though, there was no trial, not even the involvement of the police in the movie after Janie had shot Tea
When Evyn first saw Eleni, with her red lipstick, black pants, and high heels, she thought Eleni looked nothing like a college professor and a mother. Evyn made the assumption that she went partying every night. That is an example of her being judgemental. After her father, Birdie, reminded Evyn that her new combination lock was 5, 10, 15; she forgot, making her forgetful. An example of Evyn being unintelligent was when her so-called friends, Andrea’s group, calls her Evelyn and doesn’t talk to her unless it’s to ask about updates with Ajax, she doesn’t realize that they’re just using her.
She didn’t like it because it had no trees and in front of ever house was a little square of grass. She asked her dad if that was the house that they were going to live in because she didn’t like the place. As soon as they parked a woman with wild red hair came out to see them her name was Margaret Cadaver, or Mrs. Cadaver. She thought that there might be at least a barn or a river or at least a swimming hole, but there was nothing except for that square of grass. Later see knew that her mother’s birthday was coming up and her grandparents were coming to get her for a road trip.
As any other teenager, she did not want to be close to her family. Her relationship with her father was the weakest though. In the text it states “Their father was away at home at work most of the time and when he came home he wanted supper and he read the newspaper at supper and after supper he went to bed” (899). In the story, it was never mentioned that Connie had a problem with her father. This is can be understandable because she liked how their relationship was.
Despite the rain, Gatsby waits outside, and when Daisy arrives he invites her in for a meal. At first, the meal scene is awkward, but once Nick leaves Daisy and Gatsby alone they spark conversation and immediately hit it off. When Nick returns Gatsby has arranged for other meetings with Daisy in the future. With out the meal scene, Daisy and Gatsby would have never hit it off and would not have had an affair in the future. The fact that Daisy and Gatsby are intimately spending time together shows a lack of morality on both their parts.
Crozier feels strongly about revealing the faces -- and stories -- behind the statistics on poverty. "Some of them might be your neighbours, some of them relatives. But there's a whole group of people that are being terribly affected by poverty, and will be for the rest of their living days," she said. Crozier also read a passage from her memoir, Small Beneath the Sky, in which she looked back on learning to read. Because she hadn't attended kindergarten (which had to be paid for), she was behind in Grade 1, and didn't know how to read.

I felt like giving somebody a buzz. I left my bags right outside the booth so that I could watch them, but as soon as I was inside, I couldn’t think of anybody to call up... Then I thought of giving Jane Gallagher’s mother a buzz and find out when Jane’s vacation started, but I didn’t feel like it. Besides, it was pretty late to call up. Then I thought of calling this girl I used to go around with quite frequently, Sally Hayes... but I was afraid her mother’d answer the phone” (59) Holden knows he wants to call someone, but ends up interdicting all his options. The proof is evident as with every name Holden thinks of, he can find a good reason in his opinion not to call them.
She would later meet her husband at the well. Boorstin makes this stark contrast with his example of “Rebecca at the TV set”. In this example Rebecca fails to gossip with the other women, nor does she meet her husband because she is at her television set. Boorstin makes the clear distinction how society is worse with a prevalence of
