Lucy Westenra

Lucynell Crater, an old woman, and her thirty-year-old, deaf daughter, also named Lucynell Crater live in a run-down house that needs to be repaired. One day a man who calls himself Tom T. Shiftlet stops and offers to fix the house and Lucynell’s car. Lucynell explains that she has no money to pay him, but he can eat and sleep in the house for free. Mr. Shiftlet fixes parts of the house and begins to work on the car. Mrs. Crater and Tom come to agreement that Tome will marry Lucynell. Tom, Lucynell and Mrs. Crater go to the court house and finalize the marriage. Tom and Lucynell take off in the car for their honeymoon. They stop to eat for the night and Lucynell falls asleep at the table. Tom Shiftlet tells the waiter that she was a hitch hiker and he needs to take off. Mr. Shiftlet leaves Lucynell at the restaurant and takes off with her mother’s car. As he drives away, he passes a sign that says, “The life you save may be your own.”

Mina claims she loves Lucy "with all the moods and tenses of the verb," implying that she does not love her like a sister or friend, but as a lover and confidant. Because Jonathan only sends his "respectful duty," the reader can see that he realizes the women's relationship is a little too close and is envious of Mina's attention towards Lucy. This envy shows itself in the resentment Jonathan harbors towards Miss Westerna.

Women had access to the new contraceptive pill and this made it easier for women to engage in sexual relations outside of marriage. This bought about a questioning of the need for marriage and fidelity. During the play it becomes apparent that Lucy (Louis’ girlfriend and roommate) and Nick (Louis’ best friend) are having an affair. Nick and Lucy both share similar beliefs that the Vietnam War protest is more important than anything else. Nick and Lucy are the presented as representatives of the more modern attitudes towards love and fidelity. This is shown by Lucy and Nick being advocates of free love and seeing sex and love as two different things, this is evident when Nick says to Lewis “She’s sleeping with you, were having sex” (referring to the relationship between Nick and Lucy.) and “Lucy’s not possessive about you, I’m not possessive about her. What’s the fuss?” This shows how societies’ views of love and fidelity and what is acceptable are changing to a more laid back, free attitude. These quotes reflect the values and attitudes towards sex at the time, as women were now more freely engaging in sexual relations outside of marriage, and demonstrating ‘free love’. After Lewis’ learns of the affair between his best friend and girlfriend, he comes to the realisation that “Woman’s consistency is like an Arabian Phoenix”, which in this context, means a woman’s fidelity is often talked about and

In chapter 5, the perspective changes from Johnathan Harker, to his fiancee, Mina, who discusses how much she misses him to one of her close friends, Lucy. In the quote, Lucy writes about going against society’s norms, a contrast to the reserved Mina.

     Finally, in a heated, tearful, and heart-warming debate, Mr. Emerson (George’s father) gives Lucy the last ounce of strength that she needs to complete her transformation from a petty young woman to a subtle heroine. Mr. Emerson sees right through her false excuses for breaking off with Cecil and forces her to realize her genuine feelings of love for George. Lucy succumbs to her passion and overcomes the confining condition of her social class. She tells her family and friends of her love for George Emerson, refusing to hold on to her “distinguished and proper'; behavior, giving into her true desire, and transforming from a petty young woman to a subtle heroine.

No one person was responsible for establishing the world’s first juvenile court in Chicago at the end of the 19th century. Yet, as you will see in this chapter, a good case can be made that Lucy Flower has been rightly called the mother of the juvenile court.

Loomis has grown since he is urging her non stop about planting beats and wheat which she did and after that she was wondering how they would harvest the wheat without a mill. Mr. Loomis wanted to sit on the porch so Ann grabbed a chair with a matching foot stool and helped him outside, but once on the porch his knees buckled on him before he reached the chair. She wanted to get to know more about Mr. Loomis she knows a little bit from his nightmares with Edward. She asked a question about if he was ever married or had a girlfriend and he yanked her hand down and she almost fell over and said, "no, I never got married. Why did you ask that?" After that incident she has been uneasy and is now worried when he gets better that he will be more controlling.

In the article “Should Judith Clark Be Paroled?” (The Huffington post January 16, 2017), by Leon Friedman argues Judith Clark who was a contributor in the 1981 robbery in Nanuet N.Y. as a driver which resulted with two police officers along with a bank guard shot and killed. Clark was one of the four get away drivers aside from the six robbers and shooters. With many different participants, each were given a different sentencing, there were two who were charged with the same crime but acquired and insignificant charge compared to Clark and were able to complete their time and be discharged. Mutulu Shakur, who was the developer of the whole scheme was given 60 years in prison and at his 30-year mark was given eligibility to be put on parole,

John Pearson meets a young girl named Lucy in the beginning of the book at the school he would soon be attending. Not to long after, Lucy and John started to become very close, Lucy’s mother did not approve. Her mother disapproved being that john was sixteen going on seventeen and Lucy was twelve going on thirteen. He and Lucy married on her thirteenth birthday as he

In this short story, Louisa’s internal independence plays a major role in who she is as a woman. Mary E. Wilkins Freeman describes Louisa as an introvert because she is someone who enjoys being alone. She spends fourteen years of her life being isolated at home, waiting for her fiancé to come back from his job in Australia. During those years, she learns how to be by herself through the hard times and the pleasant ones “Louisa’s feet had turned into a path, smooth maybe under a calm, serene sky, but so strait and unswerving that it could only meet a check at her grave, and so narrow that there was no room for any one at her side” (Freeman 66). This demonstrates how she is so use to not having anyone by her side. This is why she creates her own path through all the dark times she had to face on her own. In many ways this can foreshadow the ending of the short story. This shows how she always counted on herself and

With all her suffering, Lucy was awakened to all the glories of living to which we remain unaware of so much of the time. Lucy also exhibits a sensible, mature understanding of her father. She realizes he left her alone during her terrifying and traumatizing treatments with a completely heartless and hateful physician only because of his own inability to deal with and accept the type of pain his own daughter was experiencing. Through these extraordinary events, the family, overwhelmed by shock and shame, abandoned Lucy emotionally.

Although Mira and Lucy have different traits but both women are battling with fear of stigma that was placed over women based on societal insolences. Both Lucy and Mira are suppressed by how their society views women. Both of them had to rely on their fathers. Both of these stories share a similarity based on lack off feminism in their culture Joseph and David are willing to keep their daughter's safe from harm and feel that their daughter’s safety is their obligation no matter how they are viewed in their society. In Disgrace after him and Lucy had the run in with the three men David stayed in the countryside with her to ensure that his daughter will be safe and he also helped her around her farm. David even confronted Petrus for not protecting her from the three men and Petrus ensured him that he would keep Lucy safe from anymore incidents to come.

No problem. As prof said, the key thing here is her flashback. Lucy’s flashbacks are often responses to her encounters. For example, although Lucy and Mariah get along very well, their perceptions of the surroundings are often disparate, as a result of their different past experiences. In chapter two, When Mariah praises the beauty of daffodils, Lucy struggles to resonate due to her unpleasant memories back in her homeland: “So Mariah is made to feel alive by some flowers bending in the breeze.

These constant beatings in Maggie Johnson’s home, furniture thrown from parent to parent, and every aspect of her family life as being negative, her family situation is not an extremly healthy one. But, despite her hardships, Maggie grows up to become a beautiful young lady whose romantic hopes for a more desirable life remain untarnished.

Even early on in their friendship Lucy not only trusted a stranger faun, she believed in his goodness too (Emerson). When Mr. Tumnus began to tell Lucy of all of the evil plans he was supposed to follow, she replied to him in disbelief by saying, “I think you are the nicest Faun I’ve ever met” and “I’m sure you wouldn’t do anything of the sort” (Lewis 19). Lucy’s will to see the good in him ultimately influence Mr. Tumnus to risk his life for hers (Emerson).
