Analysis Of Missie Mr Slemmons

“Let me,” Ludington called, “I can ride as well as any man!” A young woman of only sixteen told her father one night during the Revolutionary War. Sybil Ludington volunteered to round up her father's troops when the original messenger could not go any farther. Sybil traveled over three times farther than the well-known story of Paul Revere. She rode farther, alone, and in horrible weather to bring four hundred soldiers to aid Henry Ludington. Sybil, though her remarkable story is largely ignored by historians, should be as well-known as Paul Revere for her bravery and contribution to the war effort.

She wants Joe to be known in the sight of others; therefore, she results in taking drastic measures to ensure that he is, which eventually leads to her sleeping with Slemmon. Unfortunately, she fails to recognize that Joe is already satisfied with his life, she does not understand that she is his biggest prize. To Joe, Missie May is all the gold he will ever need, but Missie May is unable to see that clearly. Consequently, she engages in a practice that would hurt Joe more than not having gold at all-seeing his one and only gold piece with another man. Therefore, the events surrounding Slemmons’ coming to town causes Missie May to value materialistic possession and popularity, while overlooking the fact that she has the one thing Slemmons never had-a loving spouse. In fact, she risks losing the most valuable item of

The film, Mrs. Miniver, is a 1942 American romantic war drama film based on the 1940 novel of the same name. Mrs. Miniver portrays life in England during the Second World War. The film shows how the life of an unassuming British housewife in rural England is touched by World War II. She sees her eldest son go to war, finds herself confronting a German pilot who has parachuted into her idyllic village while her husband is participating in the Dunkirk evacuation, and loses her daughter-in-law as a causality.

Joe and Missie are not wealthy people by any means. Their house “looked to the payroll of the G and G Fertilizer works for its support” (943). Slemmons is an ice-cream entrepreneur. The characters in this story do not just want money for the sake of being rich; they need money to establish status and dominance. Joe realizes that he can never measure up to Slemmons. Joe does not have the money or the abdomen to compete with the town’s new rich man (945). Missie is saddened that her husband feels inferior, and she wants to help the situation. She turns to Slemmons; he promises her money, but that oath turns out to be a lie. After Missie’s indiscretion, she wails, “he said he wuz gointer give me dat gold money and he jes’ kept on after me—” (948). Even though Joe and Missie get the gold money, the coin is only a gilded six-bit. “Fifty cents for her love” (949). This revelation reveal that money may not be as glorified as the characters had once thought. Even if the charm had been pure gold, Joe would still be angry because he was enraged even before he saw the charm in Missie’s hands. Slemmons offered Joe sixty-two dollars to spare his life (948). Joe did not kill Slemmons, but his anger towards Missie and the situation did not wane even with the money

Longing for her husband’s forgiveness, Missy May promises to obey and fulfill his every desire henceforth. After silent days and nights, Missy May decides to rid Joe of her presence, believing that to be his wish. Reluctantly, she stays to prove her determination and love for her husband. The conception of their first child really sparks the match in Joe’s head that Missy May never meant to do him wrong; after many months of neglect, Joe traveled down to Orlando for errands and took a detour to his favorite candy store. With Otis Slemmons’ gilded coin, Joe spent “all dat in kisses.” While there, he though of his “lil boy chile [at] home now. Tain't a week old yet, but he kin suck a sugar tit and maybe eat one them [molasses] kisses hisself" (p. 11).

Linden had threatened her that if she tried to escape, he would kill both Mayla and her baby. She did not have much of a choice, either she escaped and tried to get help for them or they all would be killed. Joe takes after his mother for her bravery and puzzle solving, he was the one who went back to the round house after it was investigated and thought out the whole scenario leading him to find the gas can in the lake. Since Joe was at the age where he is transitioning into an adult from a child he can look at this in two perspectives. He wants revenge on the man that sodomized his mother, he intently speaks to her in her room, “Mom, listen. I’m going to find him and I’m going to burn him. I’m going to kill him for you” (89), this is the child side of him speaking. His mother belittles him attempting to calm him down and change his mind. Of course he wants cold blooded revenge, he has an undying love for his mother and want to see the perpetrator suffer because he hurt Geraldine. The adult side helps him plan out events a little more carefully. Although, Joe and Linden are a lot alike, they are both angry and both confused, but for different reasons. Joe is angry at the law and how they cannot hold Linden in jail and cannot persecute him for his wrong doings. Linden is angry because his girlfriend had a baby with the man she was working for and not him. It is safe to say Linden is evil and should be held responsible for all of his crimes. “I am really one sick fuck. I suppose I am one of those people who just hates Indians generally and especially…(161). He knows that he is not in the right mental state, but proceeds to live the way he does. The life he lives is fearless yet dangerous, although he does not look at it as dangerous because he believes that he knows all the loop holes through the law and can get away with whatever he pleases. Linden is confident in himself that

Joe was on his way to Eatonville to make a better life for himself, he asked Janie where her parents were and Janie explained that she is married and her husband was out getting a mule for her to plow. Joe expresses that that is not a way for her to be treated and asks her to leave Logan and marry him.

At first, Missie May acted as she was uninterested in the man, in general when Joe talked about him. The affair alone was terrible, but she cheated on the husband in exchange for money. It wasn’t any old

Missie May is a young black woman that will do anything for her husband. She often makes him food and gives him compliments such as, “Youse a pretty man” (211). When Otis Slemmons comes into town her first thought of him is that he is “puzzle gutted” (211). The situation is ironic because she ends up having an affair with Otis Slemmons, putting Joe in a bad predicament. Another reason why it is ironic because it would be unlikely that Missie would ever cheat on Joe, but the whole reason why she did it was to help her husband.

Regarding the family unit, Friedman, Bowden and Jones (2003) states “This basic unit so strongly influences the development of an individual that it may determine the success or failure of that person’s life.” Due to the this influence it is vital to assess the family during the process of caring for a patient. Their environment, lifestyle and support system all have a tremendous effect on the healing process either good or bad. In this essay, the Hillard family from the movie Mrs. Doubtfire (1993) will be analyzed.

I believe the six- gilded bits are a stepping stone to their new life. I say this because every day that Joe comes home he tosses the money to Missie May. Joe is devoted to creating a life in which they can be as happy as possible. Every single day when he come home that money is there as well as a candy kiss, this leads me believe that while at work Joe is constantly thinking of a life, a good life, with Missie May. Another reason I beilve it is about their life is when a flashy man, Slemmons, shows up with lots of money comes she is tempted by him and cheats. In a way I think that Missie may have been seeing Joe in Slemmons. Seeing Joe once althose cents he earned everyday were saved. Now these could be though of as a metaphor for Slemmons

He comes to realize that Slemmons is having fake identity when on Saturday; he does the shopping at a business sector in Orlando, then goes to a candy store and purchases a few kisses. He pays for them with the coin from a man who was going through Eatonville a man who pretended it was real gold. He says the man flirted with the wives of men folk. This was the moment when he comes to think about this reality.

In “Miss Brill,” Katherine Mansfield utilizes Miss Brill’s thoughts and actions and the surroundings to characterize Miss Brill as a lonely character. Mansfield immediately introduces Miss Brill with a very odd scene that shows her conversation with the fur coat. This quickly and effectively establishes the type of person Miss Brill is. As a result, Mansfield suggests that Miss Brill is a lonely and an “abnormal” person to illustrate to the audience how society treats those who are not considered “normal” through the later actions of a young couple.

Through direct characterization each story directly gives the reader what a character’s personality is like through the narrator. Indirect characterization is what the character’s behavior is towards themselves and towards the other characters throughout the story. A symbol in each story can tell the reader more about an object or more about the story. The main characters in two different stories can surprisingly have a connection, either through relationships or through objects which creates an everlasting perspective. Each story has the elements of direct characterization, indirect characterization, and symbolism which builds the story into an essential story through the

Upon reading William Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily,” one discovers several colorful characters, including one Miss Emily Grierson of Jefferson, Mississippi. Readers uncover her quirks and specific character traits as seen through the eyes of the townspeople who are highly interested in the goings-on in her life. Miss Emily Grierson is a round yet static protagonist who is lonely, unyielding to change, and overcome by her unfortunate life circumstances, and as such she should not be considered a mad woman as many readers might accuse her of being.
