Dr. Siri’s second encounter was not unconsciously like the first had been. This time he noticed a tall black figure behind him that began to run at him. Sire made the figure out to be Mrs. Nitnoy and as their two bodies met, Mrs. Nitnoy’s disappeared. Dr. Siri always thought he was being visited by the people that died on his operating table because he was guilty of their death and that he did not save them. But after his confrontation with the dead who he had not known alive, Siri was unsure
The Grapes of Wrath: Chapter 31 The family hurried on through the filth they called California, searching for their next plantation to work at. They did not have much time to lose for if they could not reach the next plantation in time they knew there would be no more work left for weeks. The deluge had taken all it could, wiping out tons of ramshackle homes near the fields and leaving many homeless. They were all scared as they all could meet the same fate without hesitation. “How much long’r?” Ruthie complained as the sun rose higher in the sky.
If any white person were to see her she would probably be killed. As she is carefully walking down the road she hears the sound of horses so she quickly hides in a bush. The white men on the horses ride along to the cabin she was destined to go to and force their way in. From the house the white men pullout a man, a women and a child. Dana is terrified because that was the house she was supposed to go to.
When the check came, and Mama put the money down on the house, he said to her bitterly, intending to cause as much pain as possible, “So you butchered up a dream of mine—you—who always talking ‘bout your children’s dreams...”(95) Yes, he was upset, but there’s a limit to what you can do and say before it turns intentional. He gave up on his dreams, much like Beneatha did later on, and because of that, he lost his conviction. He didn’t go to work for 3 days, instead took Willy Harris’ car and drove off places, and went to the Green Hat and got drunk, for three days. Almost lost his job, putting his family into deeper trouble than it already was. “Ain’t that a sad, ain’t that cryin’ sad,”(104) was his only comment.
``and while he sits keeping his father company I can look after his stable for him, go ploughing through snowdrifts up to my knees-nearly frozen-``(232) She got to be more angry with John because the storm just kept on getting worse and he just left her there. ``Sometimes the wind struck with sharp savage blows`` (233). As the setting got more violent the mood changed sometimes it was a happy mood or it was a frightened and angry mood, the worse the storm got the angrier the mood became. Before John had left he had said that he was going to get Steven to come over to help with chores and to keep Ann company while he was gone but as the day went on Ann was beginning to think that he would not come either. ``She began to doubt whether Steven would come in such a storm even a mile was enough to make a man hesitate.
Farmer had seen a lot in Haiti, but this case impacted him more deeply than anything he had ever seen there. The man, whom Farmer called Chouchou Louis to protect his family, had made a disparaging remark about the road of the country. Unbeknownst to him, inside the truck he was riding was a soldier dressed in plain clothes. At the next checkpoint, he was taken inside an official building and beaten severely. They let him go, but his name was added to their blacklist.
He tells of an incident he was involved in regarding a white woman at night where she ran away from him when he was simply walking down the street behind her. Staples states that he feels the reason she was frightened was because he was a black man walking at night and the woman was alone. I know that whenever I am walking anywhere alone at night, I'm always a little frightened especially when I see a man walking alone. I wouldn't necessarily say that I get more scared if the man is a man of color but I do understand this. I think that a lot of people will jump to conclusions and stereotypes when they feel pressured or scared.
First of all, when boss is mad, he gives Crooks hell. For example, people on the farm always isolate and bully him. When George and Lennie come to the bunkhouse, the old man taking to George says, “Yeah, Nice fella too. Got a crooked back where a horse kicked him. The boss gives him hell when he’s mad.” (Steinbeck 20).
I think this because they take things very seriously. When Jefferson’s lawyer called him a hog, he questioned it. And when Karl asked Walter to move, he questioned it. They also have a lot of self pity, in A Raisin in the Sun Walter was always slamming doors and walking around immature because he didn’t get his way. In the end they both found
Which can be supported by the quote “[…] none knew he was in debt” (Prologue Chaucer 123). Many people didn’t leave their homes or went and moved far away from cities to avoid the plague. This happening caused many people to not attend their jobs and sell goods. Trading was also affected a lot from this plague; some cities even closed their shipping docks, scared that incoming ships would bring more of the Black Plague with them. The only people who enjoyed the black plague were the peasants as said in the quote “As the Black Death swung the balance in the peasants favor” (Routt).
