Throughout John Updike`s short story "A & P" the protagonist Sammy, a young 19 year old male, is constantly judging the cliental who walks into the grocery store, A& P. For example, when three girls walk into the store with nothing but their bathing suits; Sammy’s mind begins to be very active when he is judging the girls. As Sammy watched Quennie “buzz” over to her friends, it made his stomach (and who knows what else) rubs the inside of his apron (Updike 2). Sammy also observed the women in the store turn away when they noticed the girls almost as if they knew what would happen and were ashamed for young girls (Updike 2). At which point, Sammy views all the older, less attractive shoppers as “sheep” pushing their carts around in a herd, or as “house slaves in pin curlers” (Updike 2). Through the choice of words by the author in these references from the book, the reader is led to believe that women were generally portrayed as passive individuals, known to stay at home, cook for their husbands and care for the children while the men were active at work.

Sometimes it can cause a person to lose their sense of purpose in this world and forgetting that God put us all here for a reason. Some people also tend to believe that if you don’t fit in with society that you are not “normal”, the crazy thing is some people are built to not fit in, and we as people have to learn to accept that. Both of these stories ended in misfortune. The society that surrounds you can cause you to blind yourself with the need to fit in which can and will cause an identity issue, but we have to figure is do we have more Evil in us than
Mao’s concern over Lin’s ambitions made their relationship weaker but grow with concern and rivalry, which eventually led to his fall from successor. Lin Biao’s fall from power increased when he and Mao started disagreeing on policies in 1970. Both had different views surrounding whether Mao should abolish the post of State Chairman in which Lin Biao tried to persuade him to keep the position in the CPC. Mao became even more suspicious of Lin Biao’s ambitions as Biao was normally passive and compliant towards Mao, which led Mao to believe that Lin wanted to become this position himself. This alerted Mao as he thought if Lin achieved this power within the hierarchy of the CPC, it would leave him on the sidelines and would hinder Mao’s image of a powerful leader of China.

Mr. Darcy is telling Mr. Bingley that Elizabeth is not pretty so he has no interest in her. These words were caught by Elizabeth, which makes her think that Mr. Darcy has excessive pride and starts to hate him. This situation, where Elizabeth dislikes Mr. Darcy, could be prevented if Mr. Darcy had not say these words out loud. So people should be careful of what they say if they would like to prevent a hard situation. Because prejudice builds up as time goes on, it can be magnified if the situation is not clarified immediately.
The article mainly uses provocation as a mean to lure people into reading it, but it is a dangerous method to use, as it easily could wind up offending the reader or give the reader a negative attitude toward the article after only reading a few lines. The title in itself is provocative, as it is a statement that, perhaps, many western parents would disagree with. Western parents might believe themselves to be the more overbearing parents, that when opposed to such an article as Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior they would feel obliged to participate in the debate. Even if it is just to point fingers and disapprove of the theories in the article. While reading the article one of the more noticeable things is the list on the front page.
Fear Is a Destructive Beast Throughout the course of my life I have been the victim of some level of fear. Fear of failure, the fear of ridicule, and the fear of disappointment. There have been many things that I have wanted to try in life, but rejected because of fear. However, on the other hand, there were things that I wanted to prevent from happening because of the fear of the consequences. For example, when I was a kid I gave up “tighty whites,” for boxers because even though they got the job done they weren’t labeled as cool during the time.

He also points out that as the new societies change with new myths, it is considered healthy or rather convenient to invent new ones. In many of his studies he cites Sigmund Freud who says that these appear because of deep thoughts and feelings. Dr. Philip
