Ellen laments of this tedious lifestyle to Paul when she says to him, “I stand like this all day. I just stand still-so caged. If I could only run!” The author utilizes repetition and parallel sentences to emphasize the character’s loneliness and imprisonment she experiences in her home. In addition, an antithesis is also used to emphasize Ellen’s encagement, when she reveals the urge to run, as a result from being trapped in her home daily. Her ongoing plea remains in Paul’s thoughts when he retreats to the manger.
Meanwhile, a Mississippi Mother Burns bacon” described her writing style the best. The poems talks about the lynching of the late Emmitt Till. The poem was based mainly on regret, guilt, and hatred. Gwendolyn uses code names like “HE” and “HAND” and also “Fine Prince” to describe the men in the poem. The turning point in this poem was when Gwendolyn said “She heard no hoof-beat of the horse and saw no flash of the shining steel.” This line describes how Carolyn realized that Roy was not the man he appeared to be and she grows to be angry and disgusted with him and “her hatred for him bursts into glorious flowers”.
I never had a chance to meet him, I always wonder what he looked like, I have never seen a picture of him, not grown anyways. There are some picture of him when he was younger but that’s it. I wish I could have had a chance to meet him and talk to him. His absence from my life really affected me. I never had a father figure and being a young boy at the reservation I really needed his advice.

These factors ignite Lizabeth’s rage like a match to gasoline, which, in the end, leads to her maturity. The abject poverty Lizabeth is exposed in her hometown also adds to her destructiveness. Collier continues to reiterate the dusty landscape: “crumbly dust of late summer” (135). Collier also emphasizes on the dust in a negative way: “[the] dust that gets into the eyes…into the throat” (135). It is obvious that Lizabeth is miserable and despises her own hometown.
As the Salem Witch Trials take place, each and every character learns something new, and discover a new part of themselves. As they each transform though out the story, it becomes evident that the most prevalent of alterations belong to both John Proctor and Reverend John Hale, who are both strongly affected by the events in Salem. John Proctor is a local Salem farmer who does not think of himself as a god person; in fact he says, “I am no good man” (Miller 126) while he is speaking to his wife, Elizabeth. It is clear though out the play that he weighs himself down with his sins; that they sit on his back and hunch him over when he walks. Proctor has committed adultery, does not attend church regularly, and does not agree with, or even like, the church’s minister, and thinks himself a fraud.
Mr. Pickett was a shy man while his wife was the matriarch of the family. She was the abuser of the family. She constantly attacked the children with her verbal putdowns. The only strengths that I can think of for the Pickett’s would be their strong religious faith. They did not provide love, safety, or protection for Antwone or the other foster children in their care.
Both of them are very vulnerable and have a child-like mentality. Lennie is very mentally undeveloped and Curley's Wife is described in the book as a 'girl'. Proving to us that there was going to be a connection between the two characters throughout the whole book. On the other hand, people such as George and Candy had no affection or tenderness towards Curley's Wife even after she has been killed. Candy carries on calling her a 'tart' even when she is lying on the floor with a broken neck.
The poem “Witches’ Winter” and the book “The Crucible” illustrate the life in the Old England. In stanza five, the poem showed how the cold and wintry life which the main character Abigail William was suffering. She was tired and abhorred the world she was born into, she had to constrain herself from happiness and joy. Once she tasted the joy of the forbiddance, it only increased her hatred to the cold world: “I taste dried blood on my lips. Better not to have tasted anything, not to have lived through the first winter when Reverend and my father broke chunks of ice into my Christening bowl.” This strongly indicated Abigail’s loathing, and the reason of her revolt against the old restrained law as showed in the book.
Irving states “the unlucky Rip was at length routed by his termagant wife” (407). As years passed, nothing changed Rip’s wife continued to nag him, “Times grew worse and worse with Rip Van Winkle as years of matrimony rolled on” (406). Most of Dame’s nagging stemmed from Rip’s inability to work around the house. Irving says “his wife kept continually dinning in his ears about his idleness, his carelessness, and the ruin he was bringing on his family” (406). The primary reason for Rip’s legendary stroll into the woods was to escape Dame.
