Alice Pyncheon In The House Of Seven Gables

The film that I chose to watch is Frankie and Alice. The true story of a go-go dancer in Los Angeles in the 1970’s. The story explores the character of an African American young lady name Frankie who experiences bouts of blackouts. When she comes too, she does not recall anything that has happened and usually finds herself in the custody of the police. On several occasions Frankie is taken to the psychiatric hospital. Because Frankie does not pose an imminent threat and have no medical urgency, she is usually discharged after a short assessment and even shorter observation.

This movie was based during the 1970s in Los Angeles. The main character name is Frankie Murdoch. She is an African American woman who works as a stripper during the night. She is an independent and strong woman. Frankie discovers that she has dissociative identity disorder when she found herself admitted to Pearce Psychiatric Hospital after a violent outburst at a wedding. The doctor who examined her initially is Dr. Oswald. The doctor noticed that Frankie was right handed but when her alter ego surfaced she changed to left handed.

Late rabbits, talking cats, and dancing cards are just some of the un-natural occurrences that take place in Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. In today’s society with competing books, such as Harry Potter, these elements in the book may seem like no big deal, but for the time period the book was published, these were anything but normal. This children’s book was first published in 1865 in the United Kingdom; during the Victorian time period, named after Queen Victoria. The book, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland represents a satire on the Victorian Era and how people were expected to act, through which Carroll displays an overall theme of growing up.

I walk into the Moore’s house, and go upstairs. I see Alice on the bed, and tell her. “Hey, I did it with Alec. Oh, and I also told him I loved him, and he said it back. I think I wanna marry him.” “Ok slow down there Anna.” “I know, I’m sorry its just the happiest I’ve felt since what happened.” I know, and that's fantastic lets just not ask him to marry you yet.” “Yea, I know. I should probably get some less revealing clothes on.” “Yea, I’ll be downstairs.” She tells me.

In her short story “Alice,” the author Paulette White shares the narrator’s views on her early childhood neighbor named Alice. However, the narrator's memory could have become foggy after many years passed. In the story the narrator makes encounters with Alice after her childhood as a grown adult. This creates the narrator's reliability to come off, or even be, completely unreliable. Using this narration of a character in the story illuminates in the end that idealism and arrogance blind the child, but acceptance and humiliation is the key to make the adult see.

Still Alice (Genova, 2009) is a captivating debut novel about a 50-year-old woman’s sudden decline into early onset Alzheimer’s disease. The book is written by first time author Lisa Genova, who holds a PH.D in neuroscience from Harvard University. She’s also an online columnist for the national Alzheimer’s association. Her other books include Left Neglected and Love Anthony. She lives with her husband and two children in Cape Cod.

Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is a story of a young girl’s journey down the rabbit hole into a fantasy world where there seems to be no logic. Throughout Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Alice experiences a variety of bizarre physical changes, causing her to realize she is not only trying to figure out Wonderland but also trying to determine her own identity. After Alice arrives in Wonderland the narrator states, “For this curious child was very fond of pretending to be two people” (Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland 12). This quotation is the first instance that shows Alice is unsure of her identity. The changes in size that take place when she eats or drinks are the physical signs of her loss of identity.

Alice can be very childish, but throughout the story, she encounters many animals with human qualities that make her change her perspective of the world she lives in. The main obstacle in Alice's life is growing up. As she grows up, she looks at situations in a very distinctive way, such as the moment when alice meets the March Hare, The Mad Hatter, and the Dormouse. By the time the story is over, Alice is already a grown up because of all the experiences she confronted such as, the mad tea party, the encounter with the caterpillar smoking a hookah pipe, also Alice's encounter with the Red Queen during the croquet game and the trial.

Stealing, cheating, lying, accusations, and executions are just some of the events going on in Salem in the spring of 1692. The population of Salem, Massachusetts is filled with heavily religious citizens that encourage church services and frown upon individuality, free speech, and witch trials. Officials in Salem try to keep constant on eye on those not following the Puritan values to keep their town pure. Abigail Williams is a prominent and interesting character in The Crucible by Arthur Miller, causing everybody to be aware with her constant misconduct. Throughout the duration of the play, many dynamic characters change their opinions, relationships, and actions; however, Abigail Williams is a static character that has a persistent devious,

It was the year 1922 and life hadn’t been this good in a while, times had taken a big change for the best. In Manhattan, New York, there were extravagant parties every weekend; the whole city shows up and doesn't leave until they see the sun. There was once this wealthy family living right in the middle of the roaring twenties. There was a mom, a dad, an older sister named Alice, and a younger sister named Anna. Alice loved to go to all of the huge parties, meet new people, and not come home until the morning. Every time Alice would get ready to go out for the night, Anna would watch her get ready as if she was picturing that was herself. Anna looked up at her sister and wanted to do everything she did. Alice had been talking about this party for a long time, and the night

Disability is a broad term used to define an impairment that affects one or more aspects of an individual’s life. The types of disabilities range from mobility, medical, cognitive, psychiatric, developmental, environmental or sense based. These impairments can drastically change the individual’s life from the “normal” or average expectation level of functioning (Mallet & Runswick-Cole, 2015, pgs. 3-4). Families are a complex structure that is shaped by its members, their lives and their environment. The family systems theory defined as “the physical, social and emotional functioning of family members is profoundly interdependent, with changes in one part of the system reverberating in other parts of the system” (McGoldrick, & Gerson, 1985, pg. 5). When one family member is born with or develops a disability, it affects the other family members as well. Through the family working together as a unit, this may positively affect the individual with relation to their disability and benefit the family as a whole. This paper will analyze the medical condition, familial early-onset Alzheimer’s disease, as a disability and how it affects the Howard family based on the film, Still Alice.

She begins to help with the shop, cleaning the house and regrowing the lifeless garden outside right away (“Three Women in The House of the Seven Gables: Hepzibah”). Within days of her arrival, it is said that the house with seven gables began to transform and a new life was brought out in it. The growing dust seemed to stop accumulating, the rotting timbers seemed to cease, and the pungent smell seemed to fly away. Hawthorne states that Phoebe presents was an uplifting spirit for Clifford and Hepzibah and allowed them to break free from the depression that had captured them (Hawthorne). Her kind heart reflected in her hours at the shop, as she was polite to each customer and maintained the store with ease. When Clifford refused to allow Hepzibah to care for him due to her unsightly nature, Phoebe became his nurse. Her presence in the home altered Hepzibah and Clifford’s internal and external state (Confliction View of Women in

They seemed to be obsessed with her beauty in some ways. Even though Hepzibah seemed to be bitter and mean she was really loving and caring person. She wanted to love but had no one to loveuntil Phoebe. She wanted to change and be less harsh toward Phoebe. She wanted to hug and tell her she loved her. She lifted some of the bitter hurt and heaviness that Hepzibah was carrying. When Clifford appeared in the book Hepzibah was afraid she thought he would be disturbed by her presence She used her to look happy and to brighten the room with her sunshine personality. Phoebe made Hepzibah more softer helped her to release the love she had inside of

I read Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery. This book is about a young orphan child, with a never-ending imagination, named Anne. Anne has been taken in and out of orphanages all her life. Until, one day Matthew Cuthbert and his sister, Miss Marilla Cuthbert, are interested in having a young boy to live with them. They called the orphanage and told them to send the child on the train. He goes to the train station to pick the child up, but to his surprise he found Anne. Anne tells Matthew how she imagines living there would be like. She was so set on staying that Matthew just couldn't leave her at the train station. He takes her to his house, and while on the journey, Anne is enjoying every moment of the beautiful flowered valleys.

Alice has an overbearing mother who is very critical of her. This has obviously put a strain on their relationship. Though much of the dynamics did not play out on screen it was implied that a rocky relationship exists between Alice and her mother whereas the opposite was true between her and her father. Alice has a lot of internalized frustration and anguish over her relationship with her parents and her family, especially Michael. She drinks to suppress her true feelings and control her anxiety as much as possible. The family as a whole is really struggling with boundaries and this is leading to triangulation. These are normal patterns of a dysfunctional family. No one in the Green family had a clear identity (not even Amy, the nanny; her role should have been clearly defined). These are signs of diffused boundaries and enmeshment. Each member was stuck in the same position and there was no room for individual growth and freedom until they went to treatment.
