In contrast, Oates begins her version of the tale midway through the relationship. Anna does not seem to have such a negative perspective of men, rather she is just distrustful. Anna’s thoughts of me are “What did it mean to enter into a bond with another person?” (221) “No she did not really trust him; she did not really trust men” (221). From the beginning of each of the stories, both Anna and Dmitry’s distinctively different points of view of members of the opposite sex are apparent. However, through the life of the affair each of their perspectives of the opposite sex softens.
The fact that Royal, after twenty two years, decided to give his wife a divorce before marrying Henry shows how much he has grown and formed into a man who has developed the ability to think of others. Another example of this transformation is Royal’s self jeopardizing act of saving Ari and Uzi from Eli crashing the car into the house. Throughout the movie, Royal has always seemed to look out for number one, but this act put himself in danger to save his grandsons that never really knew him. Overtime, Royal has an epiphany that these last days living with his family were truly the most important and best days of his
In the book both sisters had to deal with their spouse cheating on them but they both just wanted revenge on their husband and boyfriend at first but that wasn’t the right way to go about it. One of my favorite lines in the book is in the chapter where the spiritual counselors tell Vanessa and Thomas that just because god says its okay to divorce and adulterer doesn’t mean you should. I think that in this day and age, we are so quick to throw in the towel and sometimes god really wants us to look at the “for better or for worse” part. I think that if your husband or wife was to make a mistake we shouldn’t be so quick to get a divorce and try to work things out. This book taught me that divorce isn’t the way to solve your problems all though time.
Theater Response Paper: Actors The play that I went to see at 59E59 Theaters was called Gidion’s Knot by Johnna Adams. The play depicted a parent/teacher conference between a mother and her son’s teacher. The mother, Corryn, still wanted an explanation as to why her son, Gidion, was suspended from his fifth grade class even though he committed suicide a few days prior to the conference. Gidion’s teacher, Heather, is apprehensive about telling Corryn why Gidion was suspended without the principal and the school board attorney being present. The play was heart-wrenching yet enjoyable because of the hard work done by the actors and detailed technical aspects.
In the story “The Payoff” by Susan Perabo, the narrator Anne is drawn into a scheme well beyond her years. As a sheltered young girl she is acutely aware of her naïveté of the complexity of adult life and adult relationships. But after stumbling upon her principal and young art teacher in a sexual act, Anne by the urging of her more mature best friend Louise, joins in the plan to blackmail them for just twenty dollars. Louise is obviously an influence on Anne and pushes her in a direction Anne knows would make her parents disappointed. However, she agrees to the plan without much resistance, probably because she is fascinated by the sexual relationship she now finds herself innocently involved in, unbeknownst to the adults involved.
A Slight Hysterical Tendency – An Analysis of The Yellow Wallpaper Fiction by standard definition is a body of literary work that is not real, or is imagined. So what do you get when you have a story that is in fact fiction, but is so personal to the author that is could almost be considered autobiographical? You get the fictional story by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, “The Yellow Wallpaper.” The story about a woman who is suffering from postpartum psychosis is parallel to the difficulties that Gilman faced in her own life. At a time in history when women were thought to be hysterical and not taken seriously especially in the area of mental health, Gilman bravely brought the topic to the surface in a dark, but truthful manner. Her use of imagery and personification throughout the writing draws the reader into the sick mind of a young mother struggling to find herself again and broaches the issue of feminism.
