In lieu of weekend slumber parties, she would be singing in her uncle’s night club for as she put it, “old perves who reeked of cigar smoke and cheap cologne.” She started off singing for a couple of the bands without vocalist, then tried her hand a playing the saxophone. She candidly explained her first experience with the instruments. She stated that it was reminiscent to virgin having her first sexual experience. She said she was sure this was what she wanted to do, but her inexperience rendered it unsatisfying. “I sucked!
Jerry Wexler, who was a record executive from Atlantic Records, saw the band play at a record release party and asked them to play the Montreux International Jazz Festival in Switzerland. They were the first unsigned act to play at the festival. They were booked on a jazz acoustic night, which was supposed to be soft music, but because of Stevies loud sound the crowd didn’t like it and started to boo them. As they went backstage, thinking that the show was a disaster, celebrities David Bowie and Jackson Browne happened to be in the audience. Browne asked the band if they wanted 72 hours of free studio time at his studio in L.A. Also, David Bowie asked Stevie to play on his album Let’s Dance.
When he gets there he wants to call someone but can't decide so he gets in a cab and goes to a hotel to spend the night. In the cab he asks the driver where do the ducks in Central Park go in the winter? This isn't the first or only time he mentions this through out the book. This seems to be a recurring idea or thought that Holden has which means it must have great significance. Chapter Ten "Three Women Are Clever" In this chapter Holden goes to the lounge room in his hotel to try and catch a drink.
Their enticing sexuality, he believes, tempts men to behave in ways they would otherwise not. A visit to the “flophouse” (a cheap hotel, or brothel) is enough of women for George, and he has no desire for a female companion or wife. Curley’s wife, the only woman to appear in Of Mice and Men, seems initially to support George’s view of marriage. Dissatisfied with her marriage to a brutish man and bored with life on the ranch, she is constantly looking for excitement or trouble. In one of her more revealing moments, she threatens to have the black stable-hand lynched if he complains about her to the boss.
In the story we learn that Pete falls for a girl who is out of his league. She is popular. “All the boys are crazy about her, but she didn’t even notice me.” Pete on the other hand is shy and timid; he goes unnoticed, just as the character Sucker does. This leads me to ask myself, “Why wouldn’t Pete make an imaginary self to look up to? Well, he has no older brothers to look up to.” Pete allows himself to get angry at his imaginary self.
Prohibition - Oppression http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200041.txt Basis: When a person is restricted, he or she begins to act out according to his or her own accord in opposition to the restriction. Examples of Oppression and Alcoholism the book: Tom was evidently perturbed at Daisy's running around alone, for on the following Saturday night he came with her to Gatsby's party. Perhaps his presence gave the evening its peculiar quality of oppressiveness--it stands out in my memory from Gatsby's other parties that summer. There were the same people, or at least the same sort of people, the same profusion of champagne, the same many-colored, many-keyed commotion, but I felt an unpleasantness in the air, a pervading harshness
This caused her to turn a blind eye to what he was doing around town with other women. When Lupe gave Don Elias what Don Matilida couldn’t, she hated and resented Lupe and Juana even more because it was like a slap in the face. There was no Love in Don Elias and Dona Matilida’s marriage. Lupe and Miguel’s relationship is wonderful and picture perfect in the beginning of the book. Actually, it is always good.
Stella is the wife of Stanley and also the main character in my opinion. She’s a huge dope, who’s fallen in love with the wrong guy. Even after Stanley hits her she still comes back to him “There is the sound of a blow [and] Stella cries out”. She’s blinded by how things used to be between them when they first started dating. Stella is willing to look past everything Stanley does because she loves him and that makes her the fool of the play.
She became mean too since she was lonely and the men rejected her. Curley’s wife was so lonely that she looked like a desperate, sour woman but when she died “the meanness and the plannings and the discontent and the ache for attention were all gone from her face. She was very pretty and simple, and her face was sweet and young.” (Steinbeck109). Loneliness had affected Curley’s wife so much that the only time she looked happy and in peace when she died. Loneliness had made her so much harm in the way that she was better off dead because she did not have the lonely feeling anymore and she looked like what she was- a young sweet, pretty, simple girl.
Sometimes patients given a placebo treatment will have a perceived or actual improvement in a medical condition, a phenomenon commonly called the placebo effect.
