During the 1950’s, many African-Americans were crushed by society, a direct result of the failure of Reconstruction.

When in the wild lion cubs fully depend on their parents for all of their juvenile lives. Female cubs will spend their entire lives in the pride and will not leave unless confronted with a cruel reality or to protect their cubs. It is a duty for the cub’s parents to care and provide for the cubs in order to strengthen the pride’s future and the lion’s bloodline. In the film “The Inevitable Defeat of Mister & Pete” we see the parents slack on their duties to protect their children through fault of their own. We see that the wellbeing of Mister and Pete take a backseat to heroine and substance abuse. In Ishmael Beah’s memoir titled “A Long Way Gone” his parents are taken away from him at a very early age. The civil war that takes away Ishmael’s parents is not his fault and through no fault of his own he has to grow up too

It was initially nice to have Bella’s interest and enthusiasm but she has become aggressive in wanting to get her way.

This could be because Edward shows dominance over her. He controlled her by tampering with her memory and making decisions for them both without any of Bella's input. Edward expected her to conform to him without questioning his reasons. Edward also established what is to be admissible and inadmissible for physical conduct, in which most of the time it become to Bella's disservice. Also when in his presence Bella felt embarrassed, just like in the movie Edward makes her feel like an idiot for being with him, but Bella thinks she can not survive without him.

This is the point where Bella and Benny’s relationship begins. Benny has trouble opening up to Bella. He clearly wants to tell her about the war, but he always jams when the images appear to him. Bella clearly wants to help him, unconsciously helping herself, but in her efforts to do so, she takes on a maternal role, in which she would rather have Benny forget everything about the war. So instead of encouraging him to dig deeper into his emotional issues, she regards him as a child, waiting for him to be reasonable whenever he awkwardly tries to share his experiences with her. This “ignorance” to Benny’s problems continues in their marriage, and eventually becomes the reason that Bella leaves Benny to himself while having one of his nervous seizures.

Being an “other” in America is difficult, as the Huang family accurately portrays in Fresh off The Boat. The struggle of keeping a balance between an American identity and a Chinese identity is a burden on individuals.

This can be seen, specifically, once Edward rescues her from a truck. While everyone else around her blatantly disregarded the occurrence, and some even tried to talk her out of thinking about it, she continues to research the possibilities until she comes to the conclusion Edward is a vampire prior to him revealing that fact. Her friend’s compliance with the ‘social norm’ to ignore anything seemingly different makes Bella’s choices to interrogate the scenario seem increasingly significant. Bella’s nonconformity and self reliance would be supported by many transcendentalist thinkers, including Ralph Waldo Emerson and Thoreau. Thoreau states, "If a man does not keep pace with his companions perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.

When the school issued a harsh punishment like the one Kristen was about to get, regulations dictated that the student subjected was allowed to have a friend be present for support and supervision.

She did, but not without clearly and expressively mouthing the word ‘bitch’ out to her. Bella didn’t react. She took Kirstens hands and pulled them towards her, and as instructed, started the

In the beginning of the book, protecting Bella was one of the central ideas of Eclipse, so predicting what Victoria and newborn vampire might do for the next step will be important. During the discussion in Cullen’s house, Esme said, “I don’t mean a coincidence that a stranger happened to pick Bella’s house to visit at random. I meant that maybe someone was just curious. Our scent is all around her” (Meyer 205). One of the possibilities might be someone curious, but she forgot something important. Esme forgot that if someone were curious, then why would he take away Bella’s stuff. For instance, the newborn might relate to Victoria because she is evil like a bloodthirsty vampire ☺ (Simile), so she created a newborn to help her. Moreover, Victoria
