In the novel of Darkwater written by author Georgia Blain, I do not think the characters, although seeming to live in a close knit community really knew each other very well. Amanda, Kate, Cherry, Lyndon, Joe and Steve were all meant to be friends. They hung out together at school and caught up after, but they all held their own secrets and lies. They didn’t seem to confine between each other like true friends do. Amanda kept a lot of secrets to herself, like that she was pregnant and that she was black mailing Cherry’s dad.
Its like a haze-they walk around in it because its comfortable, but they fail to realize what is going on outside their social circle, and often times they don't understand their own comfort zone. Daisy, along with everyone else, chooses to be blind to her husband's affair. This last theme is telling us not to shut things out because they are painful. We need to see the truth for what it is and not attempt to mask
As she got older, she is still afriad of the Radley’s place. Though they never saw “Boo” the stories were what haunted her. Another example would be, the people in Maycomb was also scared of that house. “A baseball hit into the Radley’s yard it was a lost ball and no questions asked.”-(9). The quote explained how that no body wanted to go to the Radley’s place because people were scared of it.
Mayella is rarely explained through out the novel so her background is kept short and simple, however you can see the great affect of not having a mother around has on her. Mayella consequence from not being vocal and telling the truth in To Kill a Mockingbird is one of personal growth. She does not learn how to take ownership for her actions neither does she learns how to stand up against her father. Mayella Ewell and her father Bob will always have the blood of Tom Robinson on their hands because of his abusiveness and because Mayella is complacent about her fathers angry
Like when Tara, Kristen and Keesha were looking at the magazines, Keesha didn’t understand why skin and bones were attractive to Kristen. Kessha also didn’t understand why Tara could never walk with her to or from school, Keesha just thought that her friends were weird until their conditions got out of hand and she got worried about them. *Donna’s influence on Tara was surprisingly good. Considering that Donna is more of a “wild child” and Tara is a “goody-good” I think they balance each other out. While Donna was smoking, stealing or having sex Tara was getting “lost in her mind”.
As she is a child, she doesn’t understand everything, even when Atticus is willing to tell her what she wants. The other people around town do not tell her everything, this includes Uncle Jack. Uncle Jack deflects her questioning about prostitution, instead telling her other useless facts, thinking this will protect her. “’She asked me what a whore-lady was…’ ‘Did you tell her?’ ‘No, I told her about Lord Melbourne.’”(Chapter 9, Pg 94). Scout also does not understand the consequences of many things.
Such as women can not perform manual work as well as men, on the other hand, a man’s entire chemistry is different allowing him to be less emotional than a woman. Jane Addams and her colleague Ellen Gates Starr founded Hull House a place for down and out women. Jane treated these women as friends and ignoring their faults, became very close to these women. Being close to these women allowed Jane to understand their struggle but much of the information she gathered remained unpublished. She saw social differentiation as a block that society needed to get over, infuriately she herself was a victim.
Morrison portrays this conflict in Ruth, "because the fact is that I am a small woman. I don't mean little; I mean small, and I'm small because I was pressed small. (124)" Instead of accepting the problems with their own authenticity, both parents force their false values on Milkman. The needs of both parents result in Milkman's wanting to find his personal identity in other places and other people. Additionally, Milkman takes women and family for granted.
These images of identity and self free radical not from inherent feelings of worthlessness in Lucy. Instead, they are the merchandise of the reactions of others whose cruelty makes her believe she is "undesirable" as a person because of the undesirability of her body. Even Lucy's father fails to visit her often in the infirmary because he cannot bear to witness his daughter's physical condition. Lucy initially internalizes these reactions of others, as did the narrator in Bone Black, until she learns to define herself irrespective of outside(a) reaction, attitudes, and
It’s always been an issue for some people to accept immigrants in this county regardless of their status. For instance, they think that immigrants are here to take their jobs. Therefore when immigrants finally find a job, they have to fight in order to survive. To illustrate this, they all feel heartbroken, miserable and lonely because they have no clue when all of their situations will be resolved, for that reason, it’s never a good idea to come here illegally because coming here without any type of right document can lead to major problem in any body’s life. Eventually, anybody who take that risk to support their families should be rewarded for that big sacrifice, they have to go through in the United
