A View From The Bridge
“Whatever happened we all done it and don’t you ever forget it.”
The play A View from the Bridge by Arthur Miller is set in New York in the 1950s. During this period of time there were many illegal immigrants from Eastern Europe moving in to America. This was due to the depression caused by the Second World War. The depression caused a lack of work, many people started to migrate to America where there were many jobs. Due to the mass immigration America started to restrict the number of people gaining citizenship and made it illegal to house immigrants.
The story is set around Eddie Carbone, an Italian immigrant who has citizenship in America. His character is introduced to the reader as a

She purposely antagonised him by encouraging the relationship between
Rodolfo and Catherine which Eddie disapproved of “…Go on Rodolfo dance…” .She also encouraged Catherine to stand up for herself against
Eddie. Beatrice also played a key part in Catherine’s life as well.
She was the mother figure. One of her main mistakes was that she could have got Catherine to mature faster. She also let Catherine do the jobs she was meant to. She was very gullible and she did not sense the change in Eddie’s character until it was too late. She could have sense the change in him when he started to pick out small mistakes in
Rodolfo, trying to separate them.
Catherine also played a large part in Eddie’s downfall. Even though
Eddie was another figure in her life she should have realised that he was actually her uncle. She acted like a baby and forgets that she is a young woman “…You still walk around in front of him in your slip …” and “… You throw yourself at him like when you was twelve years old…”.
She did not act like a niece towards him and she did not give Beatrice and him space. Some times she acted more like a wife than a niece.”… I can tell that he’s hungry or wants a beer before he even says anything…”.
This also made Eddie feel closer to Catherine. Catherine’s character was very weak. She lived most of her life living by the rules of Eddie and she did not sand up for herself. She also did not ask permission from
Eddie before she

The Oregon Trail was a very important aspect in the history of our country’s development. When Marcus and Narcissa Whitman made the first trip along the Oregon Trail, many Americans saw a window of opportunity. The Oregon Trail was the only practical way to pass through the Rockies. Pioneers crammed themselves into small wagons to try to make it to the unsettled land; however, 10% of these pioneers died on the way due to disease and accidents.
In this both heart wrenching and slightly humorous memoir, journalist Jeannette Walls tells the bittersweet story of her rather dysfunctional and poverty stricken upbringing. Walls grows up in a family trailed by the ubiquitous presence of hunger and broken homes. Throughout the memoir she recounts memories of moving from one dilapidated neighborhood to another with her three other siblings, insanely "free sprinted" mother, and incredibly intelligent yet alcoholic father. The author focuses on her unconventional childhood with parents who were too lazy and self-absorbed to obtain decent jobs. Although Walls's childhood gushes with heartbreaking tales of searching through dumpsters for food, she remains as unbitter as possible and

They let her jump in the car and
Beatrice is also very sociable with other people and seems to be a shrew just when talking about Benedick and other males. Not unlike Katharina, who was told she would marry Petruchio (2.I.260-268), Beatrice does not consent to marry Benedick directly. Beatrice has to be entrapped with the love sonnets that Hero stole from her pocket (5.IV.88-90). Even at the conclusion of the play, it seems as though Beatrice will not change her attitudes, just her status as an unmarried woman.
(pg 44-45 lll.1110-112) She believes that Benedick truly loves her, and is willing to marry her. “Hero’s account of Beatrice is when Beatrice is
the rest of his life rather than marry a woman. Beatrice in a way is

The company is in direct violation of the ADEA of 1967 which states (2)“certain applicant and employees who are 40 years of age and older are protected from discrimination on the basis of age in hiring, promotion, discharge, compensation, or terms, conditions or privileges of employment.” In this case the 68 year old employee could sue the company based on Age Discrimination and win.
She throws away her old self, stating "Contempt, farewell! and maiden pride, adieu!"(3.1.109). She also choses not to be so protective of her independence and declares love for Benedick, claiming "I will requite thee, Taming my wild heart to thy loving hand"(3.1.111-112). However, the true change in Beatrice does not show until the first church scene in which Claudio publicly humiliates Hero. Beatrice shows deep concern for her cousin Hero, the first time in the play where Beatrice shows concern for another. She is the first to claim Claudio is a liar and declare "on my soul, my cousin is belied!"(4.1.145). Beatrice then proves once again that she is a better person by demanding justice for Hero is met. Through Benedick, Beatrice plots to right the wrong and asks Benedick to "Kill Claudio"(4.1.290). It is in this scene as well that Beatrice, proving a complete turnaround in behavior, confesses to Benedick that "I love you with so much of my heart that none is left to protest "(4.1.287-288). This shows Beatrice transforming from someone who would scoff at marriage and love, declaring things like "I may sit in a corner and cry heigh-ho for a husband"(2.1.312-313), to someone who easily embraces love from the person she once mocked. But such a dramatic change is seen in her love as well.
Obviously Beatrice is a strong character to state quite clearly that she does not wish to marry and to stand by that statement (until she the end of the play where she chooses to marry Benedick out of love, which, incidentally, is another quirk about her considering the fact that she is of the upper class and they often married only for political agendas). Though, considering the information presented already, it must also be assumed
