Dear Miss Breed Character Analysis

In Charles Swindolls Attitude, he opens the article with, “The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.” In this first sentence, the reader feels the sense of power that the author is trying to portray. In addition, this first sentence has a lot of meaning to my life. For example, when I was deployed to Guantanamo Bay Cuba, conducting detainee operations, it was my positive attitude that made me enjoy myself and my brothers under the harsh conditions. I was able to assess the situation from my own perspective and change my way of thinking, to enjoy the little things in life while I was there. As Charles Swindolls article goes on, he then says, “We cannot change our past…We cannot change the fact that people will act

Politics and the word “exciting” being used in the same sentence is an oxymoron for most. But the CBS show Madam Secretary, shatters that assumption. The show is based on the life of a “rogue” Secretary of State, Elizabeth (Bes) McCord which is played by Tia Leoni. She has been appointed to the Secretary of State position just after the previous Secretary of State dies in a mysterious plane crash. The pilot episode begins with President Conrad Dalton pulls up to her private ranch house asking his former colleague from the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) to work with him again, but this time in his cabinet. She is reluctant at first for a few reasons, she is married and has three children, she has not previously held any political office, and she does not have any interest to advance herself in politics. The President does not take no as offer, gives her some time to think about it and later on McCord agrees to take the job. The show embracing a strong female leading character handing commonplace issues all the while not mentioning a political party propels a compelling message that resonates with its viewers and forces the viewers to request that our political system in reality was analogous to the show.

As long as evil existed unchecked in the town, it was Miss Strangeworth's duty to keep her town in check.In the story, “The Possibility of Evil”,by Shirley Jackson,the author addresses the ideas of a lady who writes letters to people telling them their evil in hope of them changing without the person knowing it is her who is writing the letters.Miss Strangeworth’s has a lot of characteristics,there’s only three that I would be able to describe her as organized,clever,and cruel.

“Peace is not the absence of conflict, it is the ability to handle conflict with peaceful meanings.” - Ronald Reagen. This is a quote that stands very true for Fever 1793, by Laurie Halse Anderson, and Nothing But the Truth, by AVI.

“A positive attitude brings strength, energy, motivation, and initiative” (Quotes Guru). Having a positive attitude is the best response to conflict, especially in the time of war. For example, in the stories Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl and Dear Miss Breed: True Stories of the Japanese American Incarceration During World War II and a Librarian Who Made a Difference, both Anne Frank and Miss Breed had a positive attitude for such a horrible situation. In the story Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl Anne tells us, the audience, how her family dealt with the situation that they were in. In Dear Miss Breed: True Stories of the Japanese American Incarceration During World War II and a Librarian Who Made a Difference showed what situations the Japanese Americans had to go through and how horrible their living habits were.

This book is compiled with real-life letters from children in the Japanese internment camps, such as Poston Relocation Center. Finally, the speech “Blood,Toil, Tears, and Sweat,” given by Winston Churchill, Prime Minister, proposes his positivity in winning the war against Germany. As proven by the sources, the best way to respond to conflict is through having a positive viewpoint on the situation.

Thinking positively can be a difficult task, no matter the circumstance. When negativity fills you up like helium in a balloon you should always try to find the light in the darkness.

William Faulkner makes it very clear in his short story, “A Rose for Emily,” who the protagonist of his story is. Within the first few paragraphs of the story, we can tell that Miss Emily Grierson was not an ordinary woman of her times. It is said in paragraph two that “no Negro woman should appear on the streets without an apron.” However, Miss Emily was not like the other women. The mayor of the town had “remitted her taxes.” From this moment, it is known that this is an eccentric woman. According to Random House Webster’s Dictionary, eccentric simply means “unconventional, as in behavior; odd” (223). As the story continues, it becomes known

Conflict can be very hard to deal with.Many people may always assume to use violence, but that should never be the case. In fact, the best way to solve conflict is by staying calm, remaining positive, and using good communication skills.

Using these three ways would help you solve conflict in a quick and easy manner.

Dahl primarily uses third person limited to narrate Mrs. Foster’s transformation. In the beginning, Dahl utilizes third person omniscient to introduce the characters and their personal conflicts. The first scene we get with this type of narrator is Mrs. Foster’s fear of being late to any particular event, describing her side effect as “the annoying thing...that refused to disappear until an hour or so after...whatever it was had been safely caught” (378) . Subsequently we get Mr. Foster’s reaction to this bothersome obsession. Dahl describes Mr. Foster as someone spiteful, domineering, and vindictive, theorizing his possible scheme of schadenfreude, “it seem as though he wanted to miss the train simply to intensify the poor woman’s suffering” (379).
