No Look Pass Sociology

Taylor’s mother worked hard to keep her from “fitting the mold” of girls in this town; get pregnant in high school, get married at a young age, and stay in this town forever. Taylor did not want this life for herself so she did everything in her power to make a better life for herself. Throughout the course of the novel Taylor grew as a person because she learned the importance of family, opened her eyes to new experiences, and grew to be more apparent of the realities of her world.

The narrator had to be able to not only support herself, but Emily as well: “After a while I found a job hashing at night so I could be with her days, and it was better. But it came to where I had to bring her to his family and leave her” (Olson 293). The narrator was so determined to be able to care for Emily so much that she had to get a job at late hours of the night and leave her at her father’s house, who was not even in the narrator’s life at that time. She shows her determination for Emily when she goes out of her way to care for her. She doesn’t acquire a job at night because she wants to work that job, and she doesn’t leave her at her father’s house because she wants to get closer to him. She performs these actions because she loves Emily, and is determined to make sure that Emily is cared for. Although the narrator encounters different obstacles, like not having time to be with Emily, she still shows that she is intent on making sure Emily is

The narrator seems unable to establish direct contact with Emily, either in the recovery center or their home life. The narrator notes how Emily grew slowly more distant and emotionally unresponsive. Emily returned home frail, distant, and rigid, with little appetite. Each time Emily returned, she was forced to reintegrate into the changing fabric of the household. Clearly, Emily and the narrator have been absent from each other’s lives during significant portions of Emily’s development. After so much absence, the narrator intensifies her attempts to show Emily affection, but these attempts are rebuffed, coming too late to prevent Emily’s withdrawal from her family and the world. Although Emily is now at home with the narrator, the sense of absence continues even in the present moment of the story. Emily, the narrator’s central

Emily’s father did not let her have a normal childhood life. By

Emily's father suppressed all of her inner desires. He kept her down to the point that she was not allowed to grow and change with the things around her. When “garages and cotton gins had encroached and obliterated…only Miss Emily's house was left, lifting its stubborn and coquettish decay above the cotton wagons and the gasoline pumps” (Rose 217). Even when he died, she was still unable to get accustom to the changes around her. The traditions that her and her father continued to participate in even when others stopped, were also a way that her father kept her under his thumb. The people of the town helped in

The impoverished conditions in which the residents of this community live are difficult based on the surrounding violence and discrimination they face. Tre, Ricky’s best friend, is able to survive the surrounding violence and discrimination through his father’s sensational leadership; he therefore knows what to do in situations he faces among his friends. However, his friends are not so lucky. For example, Dough doesn’t have great leadership or a father figure, but is raised by a single mother who is determined to get her children to succeed; nevertheless, her main focus is Ricky because he has the most potential; he is an athlete who has trouble in school, but obtains All-American in football, looking to get a scholarship to USC.

Daniel Kaluuya, referring to Get Out, alarmingly states “people think horror films have monsters and aliens and darkness and all this shit. In the real world, there’s probably nothing more horrifying than racism” (Crucchiola). Daniel Kaluuya, the star of Get Out, explains the movie is more than a gruesome film intended to make people scream from spooky pop outs and morbid creatures with masks. Instead, the movie enhances the real life horror of inequality that occurs in our society everyday. On top of that, Kaluuya explains his tremendous anguish in order to play the role as Chris in the film.

This was the only way she felt she could do both. Harder still was that Emily would cry and beg her mother not to that nursery school. As these separations press on Emily and her mother, the mother feels guilt and her child is torn by a separation made even worse as she's placed in several undesirable locations.

The hardest thing to do in life is to the try to break boundaries. When trying to break through a boundary, you never know what you will face and how hard it will be to break through that boundary; Nevertheless, you should try even harder to show everyone you can reach the goals you set for yourself. Emily strives to break the boundaries of society, facing internal and external conflicts, and surtain experiences pushing her to try even harder. Emily faces many external conflicts, society was saying that all ladies had to be proper and have manners, not pursue a professional job.

Emily grew into believing things about herself that weren't even true because the belief of having a happy home was not true to her. This left her Mother with no choice but to believe that her daughter was

Finally, the author highlights the sufferance that fetters the mother's consciousness. Emily’s mother becomes aware that she was too preoccupied with providing for her daughter and she forgot to provide her with what matter the most, her presence. She is mindful of the fact that that she continuously removed Emily from her life. Moreover, she put a mark on Emily’s behavior and personality. She regrets her conduct, but she is also aware that it is too late to change anything. The mother states, “There were years she did not want me to touch her. She kept too much in herself, her life was such she had to

This reality sends panic and fear through her because now she has nowhere to turn and no one to tell her what to do, no one to command her life. Not only is she stricken with the loss of her father but now she is cut off to the outside world, because her only link has passed on. Emily immediately goes into a state of denial; to her, her father could not be dead, he was all that she had and she would not let him go.

Once Miss Emily’s father died, she didn’t want to let go. She had no one to love and lover her back. The only love and compassion she knew was her fathers. With him leaving this world entirely, I think she didn’t want to believe he was dead. She wanted to hold on as much as she could. “She told them that her father was not dead. She did that for three days… Just as they were about to resort to law and force, she broke down, and they buried her father quickly.” Again, Miss Emily’s necessity for love made her unconscious of the real world, wanting to hold on to something that was not there.

Emily’s upbringing is plagued with difficulties. She is the first-born of a young mother and the eldest of five brothers and sisters. As a baby, she is
