After he apologizes to her for saying he didn’t like her husband Claude reflects on Mrs. Meitner. Claude says he didn’t hate her husband because he made Mrs. Meitner happy but he hated Hitler for taking away her happiness. This shows how empathetic Claude was at such a young age. Even though he did not completely want to give up on the idea of marrying Mrs. Meitner he wanted her to be happy and “let her go.” This shows how Claude has traits that no other kid had his age. By seeing past Claude Brown’s bad boy ways of robbing, drug use and thuggish persona you see very grown up attitude of a kid not even in high school.
Why can't Miss Watson fat up? (3,11) -Huckleberry is disobedient but I believe that he is trying to learn from the widow Douglas. Think that Huckleberry didn't actually hate the window, just the life style he had to live with her. -Tom is playful and willing to risk getting caught
By being able to understand her father without him using words shows how similar they are, and how much they understand each other. In a way, she is also categorizing her mother, and later on her sister, with the sinners, furthering her critical attribute. Another defining feature shared among the family members, is the prim and proper attitude towards everything. When the family is attempting to meet their sixty-one pound maximum requirement, Leah says even when they are “trimming” back it does not help them reach that constraint. Rather than saying, “cutting” back, as most would, she says the more gracious thing, offering insight into her upbringing as well as her parent’s parenting styles for the reader.
She even goes as far as taking his shoes off for him. Her loyalty is apparent and agrees with him whole heartedly. The way she acts towards Willy is similar to the way a mother acts towards her son, rather than a wife towards her husband, with almost no displays of affection. Willy acts in a childish manner with Linda at times. For example: Linda buys him American cheese instead of Swiss and he responds to her: “I don’t want change!
When David dreams his dream about the city he tells his sister. His sister tells him not to tell anyone and David thought “that’s was good advice, and luckily I had the sense to take it. People in our district had a very sharp eye for the odd, or unusual, so that even my left handiness cause slight disapproval”. Wyndham 5. This quote is important because it shows that people were a little disapproving of David’s left-handedness because it was odd or unusual.
The town’s people at first recognize her as a stranger or outcast, but as time wears on people get over it and realize she is just as normal as any other human. “Individuals in private life, meanwhile, had quite forgiven Hester Prynne for her frailty; nay, more, they had begun to look upon the scarlet letter as the token, not of that one sin, for which she had borne so long and dreary a penance, but of her many good deeds since”(Hawthorne et al. 139). The townsfolk have an unparalleled amount of jealousy for her having an affair, and being able to wear what the folks say is an attractive looking letter. The townsfolk develop a mysterious wonderment as to why Hester seems relatively unfazed wearing the letter day in day out.
Mother describes how Dee would read to her and Maggie “without pity; forcing words, lies, other folks' habits, whole lives upon us two, sitting trapped and ignorant underneath her voice” (104). The mother uses the words without pity, forcing, and trapped to show that she and Maggie had no choice but to listen to Dee. The mother goes on to say that Dee would “shove us away at just the moment, like dimwits, we seemed about to understand” (Walker 104). Dee was not trying to educate or even attempt to help her mother and Maggie understand what was being read. Dee only wanted to lord over them her superior intelligence and education, therefore boosting her own ego.
When Miss Watson, a widow who was willing to take care of him, encouraged him to pray for what he wanted, where she meant by blessing, love etc., Huck questioned about prayers and couldn’t understand how prayers work to give him what he would like (Twain, 39). No matter how Jim was thought to be the lowest classman, readers can easily catch the fact that niggers were more willing to obey to instructions than the Huckleberry Finn and the white children, which was different from how people in the past
Another difference is the way that the husbands treat the two women. Mrs. Mallard “had loved him-sometimes” (Chopin 16). This shows that Mrs. Mallard did not completely oppose her husband and everything that he did. However, Mrs. Hale says, “No, Wright wouldn’t like the bird-a thing that sang. She used to sing.
They always compare him with his older brother. For Lorraine, it’s more easy because she’s the only child. But her mom puts on her about public image. Lorraine can’t feel confident about herself even she’s pretty. John feels comfortable to prevaricate, however Lorraine can’t.
