She said “There were things Amanda wasn’t telling her.” Amanda didn’t share a lot of her secrets with the people in the group which just shows that the group didn’t really know her at all. Kate and Joe were supposed to be Amanda’s closest friends in the group. Kate knew Amanda was acting strange and there were things she wasn’t telling her. Kate just assumed that it had to do with Amanda’s ex-boyfriend, Steve and though nothing of it. She never asked her what was wrong.
She also, obeyed her mother’s request, to bounce whenever she was bullied. To bounce means to ignore and pretend it wasn’t even there. Evyn kept to herself a lot. She never told or showed people how miserable she felt about moving. 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.
So I can definitely say that in this event, she is not so happy about meeting her dad, in fact, she doesn’t even want him to come in to her life. I thought that she would actually never meet him ever again since they made a promise of each other that they would keep out of each other’s lives. But chapter eight tells me that family is crucial no matter what and they don’t have anyone else to rely on. In real life, also you can’t have anyone better to rely on than your family since your family I funds you when you need money and usually trusts and defends each other. On chapter eight, she hits a girl called Carly because she called Josie a ‘wog’.
Whitney Mims English Comp. 1102 Instructor: Robert Stiles Research Paper October 11, 2012 A Rose for Emily Emily Grierson, in this short story was a lonely child it doesn’t mention anything about siblings and it was very ironic that her mother was never mentioned throughout the story. Emily is considered “impervious” from what Shmoop Editorial Team states in their review on who Emily was; meaning that the things that would go on in the outside world or just in her town between the people there, it never affected her and the way she went about doing things. The Narrator emphasizes on how much she was her father’s daughter, from all evidence in the short story he controlled her ultimately until the day he died and it continued on even
Janie’s first two husbands, Logan and Jody, never allow Janie to reach the desirable horizon. They lock her up in the present state of miserable reality and restrict her from inner growth. They only do what is conformed by the society, considering it to be true happiness. Janie is not allowed to speak up because, according to the society, it is not appropriate for a woman to engage in conversations that should be left for men to bother about.
She expresses to the reader how strongly she feels about needing to speak up and questioning authority. For as long as she can remember she herself did not speak up and has found that nothing can get better if no one questions the head decision makers. “For many years, I have done just that-listened, observed, and quietly formed my own opinions, in a culture that rarely asks questions because it has all the answers”(Williams 442). It is not right to sit back and do nothing when there is something going on that needs to be fixed or stopped. When people are taught to not act upon what they feel is right because a higher power is telling them that that is the way it is, then no problem can ever be solved.
She consented to eat, drink, sleep, and breathe, but no one could tell her where to live out the remainder of her days. This was the spot she chose to reside in peace until she died. As she brought her narrative to a close, Clara said she did not care what happened to Carwin. He rescued her and disabused her brother of his illusions, but she did not care about the rest of his tale. She did not want to be tormented by him any longer; she did not feel she needed to forgive him because it would not matter when his hour of judgment arrived.
Simply, they are out of the box careers such as fashion photographers, copywriters, wedding planners, radio jockeys, Dj’s and food reviewers. Most people do not opt for unconventional career choices, as they are refuted to be out of the norm or unorthodox , even “rebellious.” The sole reason they have become unconventional is due to the misconception of society or mainly our elders. You see, when they were growing up, they were not given or had the exposure to the vast possibilities to which we have today. Parents force their ideals and aspirations onto their children.What their kids desire is never taken into consideration. Hence, when we choose a path that is not parallel to theirs, that is to say the choice of an unconventional career, they panic and tell us otherwise, embedding in our minds that the such choices might be a blight to their future.
“So, you didn’t let Clinton watch any extra television last night.” Despite this Clinton is his mothers life.

SHARING Some of my childhood memories are gone, but what I do remember makes me glad I don’t remember all of it... At six years of age a child’s voice doesn’t really hold any merit when it comes to where they should or want to be in such an unforgiving world. I knew my mum wanted me there but a world that only pays attention to money won’t stop to pay attention to the whims of an insignificant life. When my mother’s financial problems began I went to live with my father, and his wife. From the beginning it was clear that I was going to receive no affection from the trog. My father was often gone on business trips, leaving me alone to defend against the abusive cow who took her angers – for not having custody of her own children
