He started taking shots at my self-esteem by saying that no one else would want to be with me because of x,y,z. C.) I would be lying to you if I said that during this time of my life I didn't fight back. I was constantly fighting back with all of the mistakes he had made and how they way things were now was all his fault. I tried hard to make sure that he felt guilty about what he had done and how it made me feel and I blamed him for our break up. I remember one night when we were fighting he told me I was a stupid bitch, I fired back with whatever name came to mind at that moment.
She lives in her mind, barley speaks to anyone. She spends most of her time analyzing all the things around her life. She wants to tell someone how she feels but is scared that she might get rejected or no one will believe her. “I can’t believe you, you’re just jealous.”(184) when she finally tells one of her former friends from the party who is now dating Andy Beast, what happened and the reason for her calling the cops she lashes out and does exactly what she was afraid of. In reading and studying “Speak” By author Laurie Halse Anderson , my character analysis has taught me how Melinda dealt with her problem and what she went through to get her life back…it also taught me to choose my friends carefully and that keeping your anger and pain bottled up can hurt you more than you know.
“We all go through the same things-it’s all just a different kind of the same thing!” (194). Mrs. Hale feels connected to Minnie as an oppressed woman and believes that by helping her, she is helping all women. Mrs. Hale has a lot of guilt for not having been a better friend to Minnie and for not seeing her more often. She continually voices her deep regret for refusing to visit Minnie. “The picture of that girl, the fact that she had lived neighbor to that girl for twenty years, and had let her die for lack of life, was suddenly more than [Mrs. Hale] could bear” (194).
In one hand Mede is a part good as she was a women who wanted to have a happy life, have a family, sons, and leace peacefully, but Jason ten abandoned her and he can be seen as the “bad guy” of the novel. Medea in some point can make the author even feel sorry for her as she just wanted to be happy and when Jason left her she became crazy and did what she did. Medea feels she does not deserve this after all she had done for Jason “I saved your life- every greek who sailed with you on board that ship the Argo can confir it”(Euripides L.560). Furthermore she is even expelled from Corinth alone and she fears for her children. In the other hand Medea’s evil part takes control in almost all the play since Jason left her and betrayed her, she became totaly crazy and irrational in the search of revenge.
I don’t want to have kids when I am too old, I want to be able to watch them get married and have kids. I see my mother when she is with my niece and becoming a grandparent was one of the most joyful days of her life, I would love to experience that. I have had ups and downs through-out my life, but going through those obstacles has made me the sturdy person I am today. Going through my parent’s divorce, being in a long distance relationship and living in a rotary schedule between both parents has left me with emotional stiffness that I would by no means take
My tears were uncontrollable. The endometriosis had torn me to pieces and I sat there completely shattered and desperate for somebody to help me. There was little help available. The consultant showed the same lack of empathy I had faced with my family and friends. I was advised this pain was now a part of my life and to move on I would need to learn to live with it.
Nichols “felt like a failure. [She] had disappointed [her] family and seriously let [herself] down.” Nichols became frustrated, and began to “hate” writing. Nichols self image of being a good writer strongly conflicts with her test scores, “I was smart and I knew it.” Nichols makes use of vivid details when stating, “After months of preparation and anxiety, the pressure was on.” She took this test seriously, studied hard, was concerned, and felt nervous. Nichols goes on to describe her feelings after failing the test for a second time, “That time I did cry, and even went to my English teacher, Mrs. Brown, and asked, “How can I get A’s in all my English classes but fail the writing part of the proficiency test twice? She couldn’t answer my question.
Connie rightfully believes her mother is jealous of her. “Her mother, who noticed everything and knew everything and who hadn‘t much reason any longer to look at her own face, always scolded Connie about it ‘Stop gawking at yourself. Who are you? You think you’re so pretty?’ she would say.” Connie’s mother certainly does not help the relationship by acting jealous of her daughter, she is simply adding fuel to the fire. Connie had somewhat of a split personality.
I was came across one old high school friend and asked them why I always have to be the one to find out how she’s doing. She gave me the same answer most people give “I’ve been busy.” I then wrote “I see why you don’t have that many friends left.” I acted as an ego buster because I made her feel bad about herself. I was aware that it would make her feel bad in some way but I never really paid attention to the fact that it would affect her ego in a negative way. Part 5 Ego boosters and Ego busters play a major role in shaping the self-concept. Humans learn who they are and how to act by feedback from the peer group and significant others.
I taught Jana how to drive a stick shift and laughed at her because she didn't know how to boil water. We had a lot of fun between fights, which at times were on a daily basis, but I don't know what I would have done growing up without having someone stealing my clothes and make-up. We are much older now, closer than ever, but she still makes my blood boil at times. While I personally have no experience, I can see where being an only child would have its advantages. First of all, an only child can have all of their parent’s attention and affection.
