From the ashes of an obliterated relationship grew a completely unexpected friendship that left all onlookers, especially the Pack, totally confused, for Bella Swan and Paul Lahote had found common ground. Over the next several months, they could be seen in various places all over the res, laughing, arguing or just talking. During this time, a more confident version of Bella came forth, now unafraid to stand her ground or speak her mind, but more importantly, a much calmer and focused Paul developed as he found someone who would listen to him with patience.
As it turned out, they learned that while Bella’s past was not abusive, she did understand the concept of a dysfunctional family due to her situation with an ultra-artistic free spirited
Paul tries to regain some of his youthful innocence by sleeping w/ one of the women they met
First, Paul experiences a growing understanding of his friends. Such as Victor who plays a major character when Paul moves to Tangerine Middle School. Paul’s first impression of Victor is demonstrated when he says, “‘Lake Windsor?-that team’s a joke man. We’re gonna bust you up this year. You got that big Italian kid, right? Think he’s bad? He’s a joke, man. He’s nothin’. And the rest of you guys?... That makes you less than nothing’. Less than zero. That’s you Lake Windsor Man. Less than zero . You’re a negative integer’”(106). “‘ Listen, Fisherman, here it is. If you’re gonna play with us, then you’re gonna play with us. Do you understand?’ I nodded. ‘If you’re a War Eagle then you’re a War
Paul begins to make frequent visits to the university library in an attempt to discover more about Keller's past. Incidentally, he discovers a couple having sex on the floor and decides to watch on. In his mind, this makes Paul thing about having sex himself. And in turn having sex with his first crush at his new school Megan Murray whom he admits to the sexual dreams he has had about her and despite her appreciation, she rejects him. After returning back to school Paul meets new student Rosie Zollo, who falls for Paul however he initially finds her annoying. After the advent of Pauls newfound sexual maturity, Paul will fall for Rosie. "Each day my eyes seemed to be opened just a little wider, and more of that sun-drenched town of lush garden, scents, and sexuality seemed to cram itself in. Nothing I heard in that dark, humid room in the Swam had much place in my new world.." later on the couple share their first sexual experiences with each other. Megan, who Paul later has sex with, regrets it and realizes his love for Rosie. This shows Megan who is a symbol of Pauls sexual adolescence and was really only a depiction of physical attraction.

His love for Rosie grows so deep he then begins to sadly ignore keller and begins to miss lessons to be with
After a fight Paul takes part in at Lake Windsor High, he runs to his neighborhood. Unfortunately, he is cornered by Erik and Arthur, who attempt to intimidate him. Paul narrates, “I understood that I was supposed to be terrified by this spectacle… But for once in my life, I wasn't. I stepped forward and faced them, just as I had seen Luis do… ‘I'm not afraid of you, Erik. Come on’” (Bloor 260-261). Since Erik chooses to confront Paul, Paul finally does not run away or get worried about what the outcome would be if he talked back to Erik and finds the courage to fight him off. He realizes that his opponent is just a punk trying to ruin his life, and drag him into his careless problems. Furthermore, as Paul faces Erik, he recognizes his same procedure full of pitiful remarks and, "When they finally spoke, it wasn't terrifying, it was lame… Erik stared at me with growing fury, with growing hatred, moving the bat in a tight circle” (Bloor 261, 252). Erik conveys his choice to frighten Paul, making Paul see that Erik was not as terrifying as Paul made him up to be. Paul perceives how terrifying Erik’s true self actually is, as a result of Erik’s choice to confront

Bruno Bettelheim, he analyzed fairy tales in terms of Freudian psychology, which is represented in his works of The Uses of Enchantment. Beaumont’s story of Beauty and the Beast is where the first discovery of Beauty’s problem was identified as the Oedipal complex. The Oedipal complex is a child’s desire to have a sexual relation with the parent of the opposite sex, but it is repressed deep in the mind. Beauty in Beauty and the Beast has a special bond of affection with her father; there is the problem that arises within this complex that what if she were to be stuck at the stage of development and never outgrow it. Within the fairy tale written by Jeanne-Marie Beaumont there is the representation of the period where she begins to transfer the affection to someone else. An analysis of Bettelheim’s theory of the Oedipal complex reveals psychological problems of growing up in the written fairy tale and Disney adaptation of Beauty and the Beast.
Bella had been carrying around guilt from Abraham Lincoln’s assassination so she decided to go and tell the authorities about her involvement in the assassination. Bella talked to Mr. Stanton about her involvement and he told her “Your imagination has taken over your mind. This tragedy has exhausted us all and done peculiar things to many a mind. Go home, my dear, and pray to God for guidance.”(page 205). It was smart that Mr. Stanton decided to simply send Bella home when she tried to explain her actions instead of putting her through a trial. He had known that Bella felt awful and that she was so stressed out with her position in the assassination and kidnapping. Bella shows us her stress when she says “ tossed and turned all night in misery,
The realization of difference often marks a significant moment of turning in childhood, moving from a blissful but naïve ignorance to a newfound sense of reality’s burden. Countee Cullen and Cecilia Woloch chronicle the moment when a child grasps a sense of difference from other children and the surrounding world. Hinged by their elegiac tones, the contemporary poets explore how wounding words cause loss. Cullen’s “Incident” and Woloch’s “Blink” both implement imagery of size to examine the volta that is the realization of difference. This manifests in Cullen's specific diction, and Woloch’s integration of visceral and religious imagery. Each poem has a volta, a turning point of realization that reveals, in retrospect, the impact of the poem's events on the narrator's life. The contrasting placement of the volta causes the poems themselves to differ in their sense of closure, leaving the reader grasping the remnants of childhood innocence. Cullen's word choice leading to a sudden volta show how a tiny event can leave an imprint on a lifetime, while Woloch's rising volta gives hope in the last line of the poem.
Everybody, including her father, is sure that Bella will end up an old maid, but she turns out to be the first one to notice that Benny has changed. This demonstrates her qualities, despite that she is not all beautiful on the outside. Maybe because Bella is not filled with confidence, she has the quality of being patient and caring for other people, especially Benny, whose weakness she instantly discovers.

In the poem “The Swan” by Mary Oliver the idea that the people should be open minded it is shown as the speaker goes from seeing the dreadful side in everything to seeing the beauty in a simple swan which was life-changing.
In this paper, I will explain how the article “The Lady and the Tramp (II): Feminist Welfare Politics, Poor Single Mothers, and the Challenge of Welfare Justice” by Gwendolyn Mink relates to the thematic focus of working women and the Marxist and socialist branch of feminism. In Feminist Thought: A More Comprehensive Introduction, Rosemarie Tong explains that Marxist and socialist feminists understand women’s oppression as a labor issue. Women’s work is not viewed as a productive contribution to society. One of the ways Marxist and socialist feminists sought to improve women’s oppression was through the wages-for-housework campaign of the 1970s, which fought for work done in the domestic sphere to be paid and respected by society. In this same vein, Mink’s article can be viewed as a continuation of sorts of the wages-for-housework campaign. Mink suggests that poor single mothers have the right for their work to be recognized by society and supported economically like the Marxist and socialist feminist in the 1970s.

In Clarice Lispector’s 1979 short story “Beauty and the Beast, or, the Wound Too Great”, a carioca woman named Carla, while waiting for her husband Jose to come pick her up at the beauty salon of the Copacabana Palace hotel, met a beggar asking her for money.

She, a carioca, is a rich woman, but a beggar is a poor man. The meeting between beauty and the beast teaches one to notice a beauty in seemingly horrible things.
