In the film Single White Female it is plainly obvious that Hedy is dangerous and is a harmful figure to Allie. After what seemed like positive contributions Hedy quickly turns the table as she basically ruins Allie’s life with pain and death. With that being said it is important to notice that there were positive changes on Allie and Hedy was the reason these changes came to be about in the first place so she can also be seen is a positive force on Allie. One such example of this would be at the beginning of Hedy’s introduction, she walks in on Allie in her time of need, they cause a commotion with the broken sink and their friendship begins there. Over the course of the next portion of the movie, Hedy is seen as a positive companion, helping Allie forget about Sam, and showing her that she can live without him.
They dismiss the kitchen as a crime scene, yet the women see more into it. The sheriff comments that there’s “nothing here but kitchen things” (par. 93) he is saying here that he believes that there is not anything worth looking for in the kitchen that will help find the motive. The kitchen tells Martha Hale and Mrs. Peters that something has happened here. They see the small details in the kitchen the spilled sugar, a broken chair, crooked stitches in a quit piece, a half wiped table, busted caned goods, and dishes undone.
Lisa is also concerned that she has a very busy shift in her planning already and dealing with Mr Bonelli’s mood and actions could only make this worse. The moment now has come and Lisa walks warily into Mr Bonelli’s room with no smile on her face. She is on a mission to get the job done and get out of there! She fails to acknowledge Mr Bonelli’s son (Stephen) who is sitting right next to his father’s side and seems to be bothered by a certain issue. He glares at Lisa sternly with his arms folded.
This can be seen in Scene 1, where Rita is struggling to get in past the worse-for-wear door. When she eventually makes it in she says 'It's that stupid bleedin' handle on the door. You wanna get it fixed!'. This creates comedy because she is putting Frank in his place, telling him exactly what she thinks of the door and giving him orders like a teacher would do. What makes this more comedic is the fact that this is the first time she and Frank have met; these are the first words Rita says face to face with Frank.
This man treats his wife like the scum of the earth but at the end justice will be served. Delia, a skinny, nice hardworking lady, who has been washing clothes all her life, is fed up with the way her husband treats her. She has to have the clothes washed at a certain time for the white people she washes for. Every time Sykes comes home he criticizes how she keeps washing white people’s clothes as a result they argue about it constantly. He threatens to put his hands on her if she doesn’t stop washing the clothes in the house.
Gwen Harwood is using this ironically, to show how unlike the conventional sonnet woman her female subject is, but a woman of despair and hopelessness. The use of rhyming couplets and irregular short sentences create a hectic and disorganised structure and rhythm to the poem, which symbolises the mother’s life. Harwood uses emotive description and olfactory imagery to allow the audience to experience exactly what the woman is feeling. “A pot boils over. As she rushes to the stove too late, a wave of nausea overpowers” As the woman is framed in a doorway it suggests that she cannot escape her reality, to the dreams in which she once aimed to achieved.
She uses her imagery to describe her everyday struggles and show relativity. She tells how her family, coworkers, and students accepts her and doesn’t find her as “predicament”. As stated above, her use of imagery really gives the audience a vivid picture of her daily struggles—“So many movements unbalanced me, and as I pulled the door open I fell over backward, landing fully clothed on the toilet seat with my legs splayed in front of me.” Overall, I believe that the text is trying to make the readers understand a new and divergent perspective of “cripple
In “The Lottery,” Jackson is suggesting that people conform to the demands of society without scrutiny. Jackson captures the nonchalant behavior of Tessie Hutchinson and the majority of the community. Mrs. Hutchinson is washing dishes prior to the ceremony, which caused her to turn up late. Eagerly she arrived. Upon doing so, Tessie declares, “clean forgot what day it was,”…”and then
(this sentence seems a little odd or out of place) “Sykes, what you throw dat whip on me like dat? You know it would skeer me—looks just like a snake, an’ you knows how skeered Ah is of snakes.”(Does this need to be referenced?) Delia is a fragile colored woman who washes white people’s clothes. Her husband Sykes has no respect for her or what she does around their home. As Delia is in the kitchen sorting clothes, Sykes scares her using a whip to imitate a snake knowing Delia is terrified of snakes.
“[I]f I was alone I could live so easy,” he says. Lennie has his own private dream of living in a cave with his own rabbits, while Curley’s wife often regrets her missed chance to become a Hollywood actress. In the end, the novel’s main theme is that people must learn to reconcile their dreams with reality, to accept that everyone’s best laid plans often perish. These plans “go awry” not because the characters in the novella give up on them, but because forces beyond their control destroy them. In the bleak
