She wonders things that have happened that she herself caused. Like when she does not grasp right away that the yellow stain and the “smootch” are connected. Nor does she connect that the problem with the lady in the wallpaper is her own problem. Matter of fact she even scoffs at the ladies attempts to escape and is going to “tie her
Austen reveals Elizabeth’s character as an example about how she wanted to have her own self independence during that time period. Elizabeth is very out spoken for a young lady as herself, most of the ladies during that time period wasn’t fond of Elizabeth and her wild manner, as she wasn’t fond of people in the upper class behavior towards those in a different class. Mr. Darcy in the beginning of the novel was referred as a “bitterness of spirit...and shockingly [rude]”pg. 15 chapter 3. Mrs. Bennet thinks “[Elizabeth] does not lose much suiting his fancy; for he is a most disagreeable, horrid man, not at all worth pleasing” pg.
PATIENT: ALLISON REYNOLDS Personality Traits: Quirky, Strange, Reserved, Sensitive, Enigmatic, Quiet, Eccentric, Peculiar, Discontented, and Aloof. Personality Type: Allison possesses a type C personality. Type C’s are very sensitive and Allison demonstrates that she is indeed sensitive when she pours all the contents of her purse to Andrew and Brian, and when they don’t understand the message she is conveying, she seems to be on the verge of crying, cusses at them, and storms away, and doubles over a bookcase crying. This shows that she is easily hurt at the thoughts of others. Type C’s are also emotionally repressed.
Though she does not hide her insecurities as much as Amanda does. She does not put on an act because she is very shy and can be best understood through her body language. Mama observes this behavior in the beginning of the text by explaining “Maggie will be nervous until after her sister goes: she will stand hopelessly in corners homely and ashamed” (297). Maggie is ashamed because of the “burn scars down her arms and legs” (297) from a house fire years ago. The insecurities of Maggie’s character are not just skin deep, much like my own.
As previously mentioned she uses the words ill formed and feeble to describe her unfinished writing’s fragility. In line 10, she continues by saying, “thy visage was so irksome in my sight,” to explain the shame and discomfort that she carries with her due to the fact that her “baby” was exposed to the public still so unpolished. She applies the words blemishes, flaw, and hobbling into her diction in order to express her piece as something that is not well put together, and no matter how much she attempts to polish it, she feels as if she has failed at improving it. Lastly, Bradstreet’s characterization of her work comes to life through the evident controlling metaphor of the poem, which is claiming that her writing is her “offspring”. Throughout the entire poem, the controlling metaphor becomes this idea that her writing is her child,
From this, the reader can gain a sense of her ignorance. Her primary concern was her appearance and personal state which made her the most out of place of all her sisters. Other hints at her materialistic flaws were when her "precious toiletries" were replaced by more practical things. This disgusted her as she didn't know how she could live without these possessions. This behavior was normal in white America, however when she was placed in an obscure
While she points out data and statistics to support her opinion, the factual information used to validate her ideas is flawed. Pollitt compels us to listen to her rant on the inadequacy of society by appealing to our sense of guilt but the information provided does not back up her opinions. In her article, Pollitt claims that society cares less about crimes against women than it does men. Some of her theories are statements that haven't been well established. For example, Pollitt says, “She was a woman killed by a man because she was a woman.” She never uses any facts to support this idea.
Why do people label and group other people? We label and group other people in order to give them a distinct identity in the society we are in. I believe we label them or mentally sort them into a certain group so that we know how to act around them. It's something most people do automatically to simplify their social interactions. Labeling and grouping other people usually only becomes a problem when we label and group someone incorrectly in a negative manner, which is what most of us associate stereotypes with.
She highlights through imagery the lack of willingness and understanding people show and their ignorance when it comes to mental health issues. Instead of understanding her, they view her as a ‘freak show’. Plath uses vivid and disturbing images and metaphors in order to attempt to communicate what if feels like to be revived after an attempted suicide. “it is typical that metaphors use concrete images to convey something abstract, helping to communicate what is hard to explain.” The desire for death, suicide and re-birth are abstract concepts that many people can not understand. Therefore Plath uses images of violence, persecution and physical pain in order to help the reader begin to imagine the therefore understand the physical and psychological pain that people who attempt suicide are suffering from.
As a result of Jane's tantrums, quick temper, and lack of self-control, society classifies her as an immoral person. She speaks up for her herself when she knows she is not supposed to, and her family believes that she acts more like a "rebel" than a young woman. Her spontaneous and violent actions go against conventionality and she must suffer for being so free-spirited. Miss Abbot believes: "God will punish her: He might strike her in the midst of her tantrums"; (15). Jane's tantrums are not customary or acceptable, so during those precise moments of
