Epiphary In Katherine Mansfield's The Garden Party

The story I chose to analyze is “Why I Live at the P.O.” by Eudora Welty. The author, Eudora Wetly, is originally from Mississippi from a prosperous family, she was born in 1909 and passed away in 2001.During her early days she worked at small places involved with writing until she launched her literary career. ‘Why I Live at the P.O’ is about sibling rivalry and favoritism among family. My thesis states that this story shows a good example of favoritism among families and good insight from the outcast.

The way our culture has a tendency to view other individuals by there appearance will probably never change. In some way everyone has it set in his or her mind what makes a person "perfect". These characteristics include personal appearance, wealth and intelligence. We do not always get the chance to get to know a person, but rather make assumptions. Two poems, which reveal different perceptions of someone, include Richard Cory and The Barbie Doll.

People would judge mostly anyone based on their actions or just how they look like. It’s important that people judge the actions of others instead of judging others because of their actions. Society claims that they will become better people, but they like the idea of it. In David Sedaris’ Us and Them, Sedaris himself learns that society is corrupted through the instances that his parents claim they will change for the better, and the Tomkey’s beliefs.

We judge people differently based on the meaning the ATTRIBUTE to their behavior, mainly, if it was internally of externally caused.

Criss jami said “When i look at a person ,i see a person -not a rank , not class , not a title http://likesuccess.com/topics/16684/human-equality . he does not see what is on the outside. he sees what is on the inside. What is on the inside is better because when you look at someone they can be the best looking person in the world but they have the worst attitude and they care about no one but their self. Society should not be able to put a label on someone or put them in groups based on their skills.

You have a leader and twenty followers . Just because you don't quite have the same exact features as the same person next to you doesn't mean that you need to be like them or you are ugly . Younger people feel that way today . I feel that if we didn't judge people based on beauty , and do judge them on heart then the world would operate more smoothly . Everyone desires to fit in , because if you don't you will not have any friends .

While not it is not as common now as it was in the past, today we still judge people before we get to know their personality. We judge them based on things such as their appearance and accent. Somebody who is dressed neater may be judged as potentially smarter than someone who wasn’t. Another example is something shown in the Outsiders which is how the Socs and Greasers each judge each other based on their social class. Socs are stereotypically rich and smart and have everything given to them. Greasers, on the other hand, are classified as poorly educated and tough. This is not true with all the characters though. Bob, is a soc who didn't have the right discipline growing up, resulting in bad decisions regarding drugs. Johnny, is a greaser

Our nature as humans is to judge others. We are programmed to judge everything for the benefit of ourselves. Think about it for a second. What do you do when you meet new people? You judge them from the way

We are living in a visual culture. Only now, unlike in the past, we have the ability to access all types of media at the drop of the hat, thus creating a need for instant gratification and a never-ending consumption. But, we have always been a visual society. How else do you explain racism, fat shaming, xenophobia, or other types of visual based prejudice? All of these involve making a “judgment” on how a person looks, or the perception of someone solely for how they appear. As Sam Anderson writes in his article, Letter of Recommendation: Looking Out the Window,

The sorrowful and unpredictable realization of denial and loss can slowly tear down even the strongest willed individuals. In the twisting tales of “A Rose for Emily” and “The Jilting of Granny Weatherall” the recurring theme of denial continuously reminds the reader that life is precious and to never take anything for granted. William Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily” focuses on the life and death of Emily Grierson. Although the story begins with her death, the details of her life are revealed through several elements. Emily is ultimately “jilted” by the man she falls in love with, Homer Barron, and poisons him to ensure a lifelong commitment. A similar theme appears within Katherine Anne Porter’s “The Jilting of Granny Weatherall” Ellen Weatherall, is on her deathbed as the story begins. The narrator discusses Granny’s life and the struggles she faced in the past. As Granny lays upon her deathbed, she recalls all the things she has to do and all the chores she has left undone. She also remarks the element of surprise at the fact that death has come upon her. Not only do these two stories repeatedly use elements such as symbolism and foreshadowing the authors create a relatively similar theme that not only delivers a powerful message but is a timeless classic.

People often judge or misperceive others appearances in a less than equal manner before they even know the true nature of the person. Every day we make assumptions by what we can see physically. Even in the supermarkets, we distinguish good products from bad products based on how they look. We are apt to choose good-looking products because they don’t have flaws, cracks, and bruises. Moreover, we assume them to have good qualities and good tastes. Actually, taste doesn’t deal with its looking. However, we bias in favor of assuming human nature. Since people judge human beings based on how they look, it is called prejudice. In fact, prejudice just disadvantage

The media can influence our perception. If we saw skinny models wearing make up on television and the internet, the social norm for women would be to wear make up and be skinny. Therefore, people would judge themselves and others if they did not fit this criteria because that's how women are perceived in that society. Culture can also influence our perception. Some people grew up in a home where they would come home from school and dinner would be cooked. Say a child who grew up like this went over to a friends house afterschool and the friends mom didn't get home until the evening, thus dinner wasn't cooked. The friend would think that family is odd because they eat later in the day. Our perception changes based on how we are raised, where we grew up, and what society portrays.

Mansfield created the story with the intention of allowing it to be open for various interpretations; though she includes specific detail concerning the characters Mansfield does not elucidate them in a manner that clearly defines their personalities. The story, like the budding rose, is one that never peaks to maturity, but rather remains in the developing stage because of its ambiguities which cause it to be discussed and interpreted in many varying ways.

People in society are judging people for their looks. If someone judge them for their looks the

Everyday, we see hundreds of people. Whether we see them on the street, at work, at school, or on television, people pass through our visual field. Fortunately or unfortunately, we judge these people. It may be intentional, it may be unintentional, or it may be somewhat intentional, but we form opinions about people based on their style of dress.
