These two well written novels are very similar, two main similarities are both Baby and Anne were never loved properly, and both Baby and Anne’s mothers died. Yet both novels are very different from each other, two main differences are Baby is loved in the foster home she lives in and was better off in it, yet Anne was neglected in her many foster homes, and both Baby and Anne are very smart individuals but Baby gets put into a practical learning class while Anne wins a scholarship. there are moments in our lives when we find ourselves at a crossroad, afraid, confused, without a roadmap. The choices we make in those moments can define the rest of our days. of course when faced with the unknown, most of us prefer to turn around and go
Throughout her foster homes, she was forced into child labor, starved, and even shot at with a gun by one of her foster mothers. Also, she had lost the most precious blessing one could have in one's young life, the warmth and affection of a caring parent. She grew up missing such a vital factor that greatly influences and shapes a young teenager's life. The novel's gripping and tragic story has ironically changed the way I see the world to the better. Instead of seeing the ugliness life sometimes forces upon people, I have been revealed the beauty that exists when a truly caring family is present.
There are numerous reasons why and they are because though she committed a terrible sin doesn’t mean she’s a bad person, Hester could have giving up on pearl but she pleaded to keep her, and pearl is Hester’s only prize possession Hester Prynne committed a crime and sin that is very extreme in the puritan society. She is an adulterer and had a baby out of wedlock but this doesn’t mean Hester is a bad person. Years after Pearls birth Hester became more active in the society she brings food to the doors of poor people, she nurses the sick, and she is a source of aid in times of trouble. Hester also starts interpreting the scarlet A as her being “able” rather than “adulterer”. According to chapter 13 Hester became more speculative thinking about what it means to become a woman of her society.
The values of heritage seem to have been lost with the gain of knowledge when Dee has gone to college. Her actions she displays when she comes home for a visit are shocking to her family. It is almost as if Dee is using them for a show, rather than a visit that has been well overdue. It’s one thing to know what heritage is but another to understand what your heritage is. Mama was always one who could not say “no” to her daughter and she always tried to please her regardless if her daughter appreciated it or not.
Her and Hatem get married and move into Hatem's parents basement. After a little while of being away from her home country, Naima starts to feel homesick. A big part that contributes to her homesickness is that she cannot do many things because she does not know much English. She had got a job as a tutor for Arab speaking students. Hatem got a job at a youth program that focuses on the Arab community.
The governess’s adoration of the uncle after visiting him at Harley Street and her belief that he needed her reflects the governess’s naivety. Being a poor Parson’s daughter from a Hampshire vicarage, it is likely that she had never been to the city of London before; also she is described as “young, afraid and nervous”. This creates a sense of vulnerability as she lacks exposure hence the slightest of things may tend to amaze her. As prior ladies that were interviewed for the job rejected it on the basis of the condition that they would have no contact with the outside world, the governess accepted the job and already felt rewarded after the uncle held her hand. This “fluttered anxious” Parson’s daughter lacking experience also tends to be vulnerable as she fails to have the necessary prowess to deal with matters.
Quote: “The weak die out and the strong will survive, and will live on forever” I chose this quote because it represents the mother’s nature. Book: Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl Arthur: Anne Frank Setting Anne Frank’s diary begins on Sunday, June 14, 1942, during World War II. At this time, thirteen-year-old Anne and her family live in Amsterdam. Shortly after Netherlands was occupied by Nazis, the Jews begin receiving “call up notices” and are sent to concentration camps. When Margot, Anne’s sister, is told to report to Nazis Headquarters, her father realizes that the family must hide and arranges for them to stay at the “Secret Annex” above Otto Frank’s office.
I was pleased with what I read, since she took one of her teacher’s advice and made it a reality. Although her mother attempted to home school her, she had a hard time learning to read as a child, it wasn’t because she couldn’t read, it was primarily because she
The Scarlet Letter tells the story of a society that is as good at excluding people as a middle school clique. We watch our heroine, Hester Prynne, live in isolation for years and years, cast out of Puritan society for having a child out of wedlock. Her isolation leads her to see her society in a new light and allows her to think outside of the box. Ironically, it seems characters who are the most appreciated by and involved in this society seem to be the most conflicted and alone. Measured by the prisoner’s experience, however, it might reckoned a journey of some length; for, haughty as her demeanor was, she perchance underwent an agony from every footstep of those that thronged to see her, as if her heart had been flung in the street for
“The Church of No Reason” In her short story, “The Church of No Reason”, Andrea Barrett illustrates the cascade effects of depression, sorrow and betrayal. Her use of symbolism with characterization in this story is interesting showing how a mother gave up hope on life. Describing how depression Lead her to a book she believed gave her more than just answers, as she said “The point is that there has to be something to life besides working and raising you”. Her depression grew so deep that she shunned her most important responsibly, her family. Andrea uniquely described the mother throughout the story as a person that was loosing so much, so quickly.
