Compare And Contrast Ruth And Bonnie Clutter

In the case of Ruth, there is a number of ways in which a counselor could effectively help Ruth through this ordeal; however, there is one counselor, who I believe demonstrates a technique, which will aid the client Ruth in the recovery of “self-perfection.” Carl Rodgers’s theory of the Person-Centered Approach, would aid Ruth in understanding that she is the expert in her situation, and no one (including the counselor) can give her the answer to her problems. On the other hand, the ordeal with Ruth’s case is fear of change, acceptance, and living within the footsteps of others. Carl Rogers’s Person- Centered Approach would be best suited for the case of Ruth, because it provides her with the stability and the comfort of understanding that

Ruth and James had different experiences when they attended school. Back in the days, when Ruth attended school in Suffolk, there was a split between “white folks’ school and a black folks’ school and a Jewish school,” (McBride 79). The school Ruth attended was not actually a real school, but instead a synagogue, where they did not get a good education compared to what other students were learning in school. In contrast, James “was the only black kid,” (McBride 89), attending in his classroom and he would get called many names because he was the only black kid.

In the book The Color of Water by James Mcbride the main character Ruchel, later Ruth, lived through some of the most dangerous and prejudice times in history. Being part of a Jewish immigrant family from Poland, Ruth’s childhood was everything but easy. Her father, Tateh, was a dictative man who mistreated his family and tried to control every aspect of their life. He also forced his racist and anti-Christian views upon those around him. Ruth’s mother, Mameh, was not much better than her father. Mameh allowed herself to be suppressed by Tateh and did little to help with the abuse of her children. As Ruth grew up her parents flaws helped to mold her into the person she became.

The eldest daughter, Eveanna… lived in northern Illinois but visited frequently.” This is a small passage describing one of the Clutters.

When someone you are attached to dies it is never easy to get over it, many times leading to become someone you are not. Hunter Jordan's sudden death that was led by a stroke not only impacted his wife Ruth, but as well as his stepson James. Even though, it was not his biological dad he saw him as a father figure. Ruth and James behaved differently after the tragic loss of their loved one.

This passage talks about how Ruth’s father, Tateh, ran a household. He did’nt show any love to his wife or kids but he put them to work. Sam got so upset about having to work in his Tateh’s store that he ran away. Running a household is a very important factor to Ruth and James. Ruth tends to run a very strict household with grades and if they don’t listen to Ruth they get punished by a belt. Ruth’s household tactics are similar to her Tateh but she shows love for them too. Ruth would even put a king or queen in charge over their siblings. In this passage, Mcbride is describing how Ruth and her siblings hated being treated as slaves to their Tateh. This also relates to what James and his siblings go through. Some of the siblings such as Helen

Ruth and her son James both had terrible experiences in public schools, however some experiences were very different to each other. Ruth was a white Jewish girl who attended a white elementary school where Jews were hated. This caused her to change her name from Rachel to Ruth. She felt despised her whole childhood, “that feeling that nobody likes you, that’s how I felt, living in the South” (p. 81). Ruth did not have Jewish friends either because her father was a storekeeper for the blacks, her only friend was a gentile girl named Frances. Since Ruth wasn’t allowed to be anywhere near gentiles she snuck over to Frances’s house where she was always welcome, but she could not eat the food there because it was not kosher. At one point took

For instance, Irene and Clare have so many similarities. She's light-skinned enough to pass as white; this makes her parallel to Clare. When Irene is contemplating about ratting Clare out to Clare's husband, it's similar to betraying herself, and betraying her own desire to appear white. Irene was stuck in the middle and all her insecurities got to her in the end. She enjoyed the thrill of being able to see the world of two sides in a way white and black. Irene and Clare are black, but their light skin allows for them to pass as white. So they're divided into two parts. Irene is torn up about Clare and she definitely resents Clare's affair with her husband, but she wants to side with her because the two women have so much in common. Clare

Bob Ewell from the novel To kill a Mockingbird written by Harper Lee have a lot of differences with the character Captain Beatty from the novel Fahrenheit 451. Both of these people are very unalike and have different personalities, although both of these characters take a huge part and are the bad guys in their novels these people do not have the same personality. Bob Ewell was a man who was very disrespectful and always wanted everything his way. On the other hand, Captain Beatty was a pure villain, but had respect for people and followed the law properly and would fight for what is right for the city and himself. Bob was also a criminal otherwise Beatty was a fighter and put the people in jail if the person would bend the law.
