As any other teenager, she did not want to be close to her family. Her relationship with her father was the weakest though. In the text it states “Their father was away at home at work most of the time and when he came home he wanted supper and he read the newspaper at supper and after supper he went to bed” (899). In the story, it was never mentioned that Connie had a problem with her father. This is can be understandable because she liked how their relationship was.
This can be shown in the ‘Proof of Marriage’ source as the phratry must accept that a child is legitimate, otherwise property will not be given to the son. However it can also be said that it is in fact wives who fear their husbands and not the other way round. In the Eurastophenes’ murder case, Euphilites laughed at his wife when she suggested he ‘mauled the maid which could indicate women were in fear of how sexually controlling their husbands could be and how they could still get away with it. In the Naerea source is also shows men can be abusive to women with little to no consequence as Phrynion gets away with his abuse towards Naerea. You could also view the violence as a cry of fear and other controlling behaviour could emphasise that.
When Myrna gets sick the visits are put to an end. Physical contact is replaced with unpersonal letters which allows her to keep the distance she needs, but still be able to have her maternal feelings fulfilled by the information she gets through the letters. Despite the distance Myrna has forced in between her and her son, she feels a part of her leap to life at the sight of him. This shows her remaining love for her son – and after all she is glad he is fine: “... she was glad he hadn’t been maimed or murdered in prison. At least he looked whole and healthy of body,” (page 2, line 10).
(Attention Deficit Disorder). He’s constantly moving around and even on one occasion falling asleep. This behavior results in me constantly asking him, “What did I just say?” throughout our conversations. Tannen tells us that communication is what women complain about the most in their marriage. Many women feel this is because their husbands don’t listen to them giving the following examples: · Men tend to switch the subject during conversations.
The aspect of denial in regarding homosexuals is also a society-stemmed action because in our view we don’t consider them a “normal person” though they just have different inspirations. In relation to Fariba she is inspired to change her identity to a male figure. As the friendship forms between Fariba and Siamak a fellow-inmate she gains a desperate prospect that will help her in achieving her inspiration. The death of Siamak’s brother brought grief to his life as it soon overtook his mind resulting in him to commit suicide. The impact this brought to Fariba allowed her to assume his male identity in hope that it would help get her to Germany and free from the feeling she can’t express herself.
There were many emotional crying scenes where his mother thought it was her fault that he was ‘different’. Television series add emotional scenes about how disappointed someone is or how someone isn’t accepting them in society to represent how many people may actually have these opinions. Stereotypes exist as a way of reminding people that they need to kept in their place and to make it easier to identify people. LGB have said that the BBC “should be bolder and more creative with their deception of gays, lesbians and bisexuals people who are still side-lined and stereotyped on television”. EastEnders tried to show how even more ‘masculine’ gay men are rejected in society when Christian was beaten up for being gay.
His sexual orientation was even that of a female, expressing romantic interest in a male, wanting to dress up in dresses, ect. This gives the community a negative outlook on him and his family. The neighbors wish to keep Ludo away from their son, who Ludo is in love with and said that he will marry him once he grows into a woman. Ludo’s parents send Ludo to a psychiatrist. In my opinion I feel that the counseling did not help Ludo because he still had embedded in his believe that he is a female.
In this case, even when some readers might agree with the character’s perceptions, their reactions are thought of as too exaggerated and unnecessary. Angela tells the narrator that her mother beat her so hard that “[Angela] thought she was going to kill [her]” This type of reaction would have never been considered acceptable, to what most think of nowadays as a minor matter: losing one’s virginity before marriage. The reader’s perception to this conflict is that it is a conflict between ‘good’ and ‘good’, but through the character’s perception this is clearly a ‘good’ vs. ‘evil’ case. The town where the book is set has a strong Catholic culture and therefore
Helene Cioux: The Laugh of the Medusa The Laugh of the Medusa is about how women shouldn’t be afraid to express themselves through literature. The article is written from a feminist’s point of view. According to the article, women are afraid to write in a world that is controlled by men. I chose a paragraph from the article to summarize: “Men have committed the greatest crime against women. Insidiously, violently, they have led them to hate women, to be their own enemies, to mobilize their immense strength against themselves, to be the executants of their virile needs.
I feel bad and sad for the victims, because a woman can’t do anything when a man punches her. “Abusers often attempt to control and isolate victims in an effort to guard the secret of abuse and because of their jealously of any attention their partners may give or receive from family, friends, or coworkers” (Gagné 19). As the time passes, women will have bruising, bleeding, and scars that will never heal. A man hits a woman probably because he wants to act “macho”. He might be drunk or he only does it because he likes it.
