Mother describes how Dee would read to her and Maggie “without pity; forcing words, lies, other folks' habits, whole lives upon us two, sitting trapped and ignorant underneath her voice” (104). The mother uses the words without pity, forcing, and trapped to show that she and Maggie had no choice but to listen to Dee. The mother goes on to say that Dee would “shove us away at just the moment, like dimwits, we seemed about to understand” (Walker 104). Dee was not trying to educate or even attempt to help her mother and Maggie understand what was being read. Dee only wanted to lord over them her superior intelligence and education, therefore boosting her own ego.
Mary Macgregor is known for being “a silent lump, a nobody who everybody could blame.” (8, ch.1) and Brodie allows the girls to talk to her as if they are better than she is. Sandy feel compelled to be kind to her, but Brodie has always discouraged the action. “Then suddenly Sandy wanted to be kind to Mary Macgregor, and thought of the possibilities of feeling nice from being nice to Mary instead of blaming her. Miss Brodie’s voice from behind was saying to Rose Stanley, ‘You are all heroines to
By being able to understand her father without him using words shows how similar they are, and how much they understand each other. In a way, she is also categorizing her mother, and later on her sister, with the sinners, furthering her critical attribute. Another defining feature shared among the family members, is the prim and proper attitude towards everything. When the family is attempting to meet their sixty-one pound maximum requirement, Leah says even when they are “trimming” back it does not help them reach that constraint. Rather than saying, “cutting” back, as most would, she says the more gracious thing, offering insight into her upbringing as well as her parent’s parenting styles for the reader.
Both of they ignore and suggest that this is not her concern. They even tell her that this is how the company reduces the cost to survive in this competition and there is no damage to anyone with this tiny amount of medical waste. Chantale understands her supervisors clearly and knows that making further steps will affect her job. Moreover, she commonly believes in her management team. They seem like honest people.
The store he was working at was dull and monotonous, and he did not want to end up like his store manager Lengel, who was telling the girls they cant wear bathing suits to the A&P. Sammy mainly quits his job because he wants to move up in life and actually live it. When he sees the “queen” of three girls walk up to the register with the “Kingfish Herring Snacks” it suddenly hits him. He realizes that these girls are from a wealthy class, “ all of a sudden…picking up herring snacks on toothpicks off a big plate” (Updike 134) who are living the good life. Sammy also saw a foreshadowing of his future if he had kept his job.
Later Maryanne became curious and a fast learner, she picked up on the Vietnamese language and learned how to cook quickly. She did not seem to be afraid of anything or anyone.

Maryanne argues that she is content staying, and she wants to make plans to travel before she and Fossie get married.
One thing throughout the movie that irritated me was Peter’s parents trying to pressure Nita & Peter into trying to get the Heather the cochlear implant. She should have respected their decision. They did do research and met with families and came to the conclusion that it was not the best interest for them or for their daughter and the grandparents should have respected that decision. I feel like there is no right or wrong in these kind of situations. Pardon my language but it’s one of those damned if you and damned if you don’t situations.
Stella changing the subject, she asks Blanche have had breakfast with Eunice but she hadn’t had it, take some coffee only. Blanche’s opinion to, “You’re married to a mad man” (P.64). Stella is not considering to her sister’s advice and Blanche is not able to believe her sister and she mumbling, “One tube smashed beer bottles mess in the kitchen”. Then Stella begins to work of cleaning but Blanche once again saying, “I won’t have you cleaning up for him” (P.66) and she tries to think of a way to get them both out of the situation. Stella points out that she is not anything she necessarily wants to get out of.
She does not care what you think of her either. One example of this is when she is talking to her mother. Every one says Anne should be like Margaret. She shoots words as hard as stone and she does not care who it hurts. This is proven because she tells her mom she is sorry, and tells Peter that she does not like hurting people with her words.
Behn explores the question of desire, who wants what and why and what keeps them from it, and she explores this from feminine point of view. In “ To My Fair Clarinda” Behn explores what it is about Clarinda that the speaker is both consciously and subconsciously attracted to. Behn was not timid in her choice of` topics, and as it is seen in her work, she insists that the pen has no gender, thus no topic is inappropriate specifically for a woman. Moreover, this sense of freedom with Clarinda undoubtedly stems from the lack of social consequences (no pregnancy or loss of virginity). The fact that the speaker chases Clarinda “without blushes” also implies that their same-sex relationship has an original sense of intimacy.
