Books, magazines, and poetry were written to influence the readers toward morality, often by presenting unfavorable consequences if not obeyed. These kinds of texts were written in response to the growing apprehension Americans had toward anything unfamiliar or new.

They are all hurt in one way or another and do not know the correct way to express themselves. However, these character do remind me of how the society in third world countries expect families to be. In third world countries, men are the head of the households, and any women living under the roof is expected to follow their orders.
