She has lost full use of her limbs and “refuses to…deny that [she has] lost anything” while having her disease. The direct tone throughout the passage emits the pure confidence that Mairs has and her outlook on society. People are afraid of being offensive so they try to use words like “differently abled”. It may seem less offensive, but “it describe[s] anyone [and] no one”. So in order to be truly accurate one needs to look at the definitions of words and determine which word is the best.
At the beginning of Why Did I Get Married, Sheila, played by Jill Scott, viewed her relationship as something she could not do without. She felt God gave her this relationship and it was her duty to make it work, whether it was good or bad. It was extremely evident that Sheila loved her husband with all her heart. Although he said terrible things to her and about her, she never spoke unkindly of him. Actually, she often took up for the hurtful comments he said about her by brushing them off or joking.
In this passage, Anderson writes “I pull my lower lip all the way in between my teeth. If I try hard enough, maybe I can gobble my whole self this way...I didn’t try hard enough to swallow myself.” (pg.39) This is demonstrative of the anxiety Melinda feels about confronting her problems with Rachel/Rachelle. Melinda would sooner disappear or work with anyone else rather than remember that the party, at which she was raped, is the reason Rachelle hates her. Another example of this is when Melinda revisits the night of her rape and bites her lip so that it necessitates stitching. The shame she feels because of the rape causes her to become so anxious that she gets blood on the snow.
Especially the last line when she says ' But respect is not defined the same way by everyone.' I agree 100% with her on this. I think this is true because Mrs. Jong doesn’t have respect for people who don’t "work-hard." Yet other people might disagree with that statement. I believe Respect is EARNED not GIVEN.
Racial and economic profiling was a major issue throughout this story. Mrs. Turpin considered herself a hardworking, kind, “Christian” woman. However, it is ironic how she judged and talked about those around, which is not very “Christ-like”. These characteristics were very imaginative. In the doctor’s office, where this story takes place, there are many other people.
Mrs. Turpin considers herself to be a Godly woman, yet she is extremely judgmental and full of rude thoughts. Many Christians use the phrase “only God can judge me” but Mrs. Turpin does not exemplify this in the slightest manner. Almost every thought in her head is a judgment and she even considers herself to be better than many people. While I do believe that she is thankful,
I then proclaimed to her in tears, “All I did was hide her chalk in the flower pot!” At that point I was just ready to go back to the class because this lady was intimidating and persistent with her masculine figure yelling and screaming in my face. “You will not leave here until you have told me the truth. We have a witness that said you did it!” she argued. I sat in her office in silent tears as she explained to me the terrible deed that someone else had not
The way she treats her children is un-motherly and selfish, for example when “she had not noticed that her children’s clothes were ruined: had not even scolded them about that” (White 263). In itself, it does not sound so bad, but when the story continues it says that even though she didn’t care about that, once “she found out about the unicorn later in the evening she had them whipped for it” (White 263). This also seems not too absurd, since she is punishing them for a wrongdoing. Although that is what it seems she is doing from an outside perspective, her actual intentions are clear when it continues saying that her reasons for beating them are because “she had spent an unsuccessful day with the English knights.” (White 263). Her reasons to punish her children were not their actions, but because of her own selfish reasons, it shows how twisted she is for behaving this way with her own
One trip to the doctors office is all it takes for something to go wrong. When people get sick and go to the doctors office they more than likely reliy on there health insurance to pick up the bill. Honestly though how do you know everything will be fine and they will pick up the bill? Health Insurance is a really sensitive subject and most people dont think about it at all. Health Insurance is the reason more than fifty percent of peopole have filed bankrupty of people have filed bankruptcy it is scaring people if they have it they may lose it and it only covers a certain amount of things.
She reacts the same when she finds out about Eric being the father of the baby. She thinks she knows best for her children, she probably believes she is protecting them, for instance, when Gerald talks about “women of the town” and Mrs Birling wants Sheila to go out and not listen“ It would be much better if Sheila didn’t listen to this story at all”. Sybil is an extremely self-satisfied woman: “Yes. We’ve done a great deal of useful work in helping deserving cases”, she is very proud of herself and of the “kind” things she does and she is also a judgmental person. Priestly shows how she is the one that decides if she wants to help a woman in need.
