In the novel, Zeena tells Ethan about her pain; "[Zeena] got [her] shooting pains so bad that [she went] over to Bettsbridge to spend the night…”(78). If Zeena’s sickness were only in her mind, to get attention, it would not be logical for her to leave to find help. However, the first thing Ethan thinks of when he hears of her pain is not his sympathy for her, but the financial burden the the trip to a new a doctor will cost him. Furthermore, when Ethan goes into their bedroom, the narrator states that Ethan found “[Zeena’s] mouth slightly open, her false teeth in a tumbler by the bed…” (88). While the reason is not known, it is not normal for a healthy middle-aged woman to lose her teeth, therefore it must have been her sickness.
“The Problem that Has No Name” 1) Betty Friedan claims that women in the 1950’s and 1960’swere becoming increasingly unhappy because life started to become boring, draining, and repetitive for the 1950 or 1960 housewife as they never really had anything to look forward to in this stage of their life. Friedan explains that these housewives felt like their entire goal in life was to get married, have children, do chores, and cook for your family rather than continue with a career or having more to look forward to on their daily routine. This generations house wives were beginning to realize how much more was out their besides what they were doing on a daily basis as far as looking after their family and that most of these housewives always
Instead, a cleaner named Zulema from the social services comes to her house every week to clean for her. Zulema always tries to persuade Doris to move to Stafford house which is an old people’s home, but Doris despises the thought of Stafford house, ‘I don’t want to be stuck with a lot of old lasses’, this is humorous as she is an aged old aged lady herself, just like the people in Stafford house. She doesn’t consider herself as one of those ‘old lasses’. It’s as if throughout the play she is making gradual steps in deciding to die. She regrets not having children because her husband has died and now she feels isolated and lonely, as she doesn’t know many people anymore.
The relationship between Curley and his wife is another element that fuels his hostility throughout the novel. “He spends half the time looking for her and the rest of the time she’s looking for him.” This tells us that their relationship isn’t very stable. It also hints at the fact that because Curley’s wife gives some workers on the ranch ‘the eye’ he is quite paranoid that she’ll cheat, thus one of the reasons he’s always asking Slim about her whereabouts. The other reason being that because in those days women were meant to stay at home to cook, clean and look after the house in general; Curley didn’t like it that his wife didn’t do any that and instead hung around the ranch all the time and his American dream was coming crashing down. The American dream was the hope to have a housewife, a piece of land and your own home something that just wasn’t working out for
Watching cartoons were for kids and I was real close of being a woman. Some of my friends went to other middle school‘s, which means that I had to start over again finding new friends. The middle school I attended was Aspira Raul Arnaldo Martinez Charter School. The school was about 7-8 blocks away from home so I had to catch the bus throughout the whole year for me to get home safely to my parents. My favorite grade in middle school was the eighth grade.
They saved the meat for another time when they were rally starving. The two women knew they could not stay here in this awful place were there tribe left them, they needed a place with a little life such as the river. This trip to them was the worst. They made snow shoes to help them throughout the trip and each night they would dig themselves a pit to sleep in and to keep the cold from killing them. When morning hit each time the women were weaker and they had to build up the courage to get up every time because they knew if they were not moving then they would die for sure.
Bruns showed up bright and early; I personally signed him in and walked him over to the meeting area, and a nurse brought Lfetayo to reunite with her father. They hugged and talked all day long as if it had been months since they’ve seen each other. We set her father up in our camp with his daughter so they wouldn’t have to be apart again. We were in Haiti for 4 months trying to help out the victims and get them as much medical help as we could possibly could. It wasn’t an easy job and some days it was really tough but it was a real learning experience.
I now practice some of the same methods my mother used on me and my sister, and brother. I believe if a person stops bad or inappropriate behavior at an early age the child will remember and behave differently. I was so angry when I saw this article because I believe they are trying to do what we see on television everyday. Really; pretty so we will have microchips implanted in ours bodies, and have curfews on the streets at night. I take my job as a parent very serious, because I want my
In this documentary the children managed to switch over to their new surroundings, however the mother had a harder time. She did not want to leave all that she loved in Mexico. This new land was strange and she didn’t have all her friends and family like in Mexico. Everyday she stayed home not sure on how to approach the outside realm. There was this tension deep within her; she didn’t want to lose her old self by becoming this new
Because she didn’t realize how impaired she was and she didn’t want to lose her independence, she resisted mine and my family’s initial pleas, so we had to have her license taken away before she caused a major accident. Cooking becomes another risk to people with dementia because they become distracted and forgetful which can lead to them burning themselves or even worse, burning down the house. Due to their cognitive problems and lack of coordination, dementia patients are also at risk of falling, which can cause injuries. With my grandmother we had to replace all
