Rachel Ferguson Case Study

The complexity of Rachel’s character differs within the play. On the one hand, Rachel is portrayed in a male disguise showing she has independence as she has taken matters into her own hands, her successful manipulation through disguise perhaps demonstrating her intelligence and how easily women can dupe men. This could also suggest that she is not acting according to the social ‘norms’ for women in the 60s demonstrating that she doesn’t fear people’s views of her although she is a woman. She demonstrates her strength and independence as she takes matters into her own hands ‘I’ll take two hundred in cash’ and acts in a violent way ‘Rachel slaps Francis’, portraying the growing power of women. On the other hand, Bean could have done this to project the message that women cannot hold any power without the help of a man. Although she has decided to solve her problem herself, she has had to dress up as a man to do so, thus showing that women’s roles are often tokenistic. The motive behind her plan was also for a man illustrating the length a women will go for a man. Had Rachel not dressed up as a man maybe she would not have gotten so far, her success in doing so

For example, when Rachel loses herself when challenged by the teacher Mrs.Price. For instance when Mrs.Price says “ Of course it’s yours I remember you wearing it once. “Because she’s older and the teacher, she’s right and I’m not. This shows how Rachel's

Although Rachel is very emotional, in the only dialogue between her and Mrs. Pierce she sounds very shy, unsure of herself, not ready to confront and timid.

She is a snobby, whining girl with incorrect vocabulary. We get this feel of Rachel from the style in which her point of view is written. For example she said “executrate’” instead of ‘execute’, “autography” instead of autobiography, and “precipitation” instead of ‘participation’. When Rachel goes back into the house to try to salvage one ‘important’ thing, she says; "Not my clothes, there wasn’t time, and not the Bible-it didn’t seem worth saving at that moment, so help me God. It had to be my mirror.” We as readers conclude that Rachel is a girl who cares more about her appearance, than she does for her education; she revolves around herself and is ignorant of the rest of the world. However, readers acknowledge that Rachel is the only character in the novel to truly understand that the Price family did not belong in the Congo. She asserts from the very beginning that her father wouldn't succeed in changing the natives, instead acknowledging that the Congo would change the family instead.

Beyond racial divide, Kingsolver portrays how Rachel’s self-obsession leaves no room for her family in order

Though Rachel do say a lot of random funny things like “give up the goat" (23). However most of her misleading saying follows an irony. For example in book three when Rachel says “I'm willing to be a philanderist for peace" (269). Rachel really meant a philanthropist, the type of person who is goodhearted and kind. I did not know the words philanderist so I looked up in the dictionary and it comes from the word philanderer which means a man who likes many women or a womanizer. This is ironic because that’s the person Rachel kind of became at the end after she went through multiple husbands. I enjoyed reading Rachel’s parts because with all the serious political events and somber personal events going on in the book, it is a pleasure to see

The second parent child conflict is depicted in how Rachel wants to have a voice in how she runs her life within the family. She is discredited by her father

Julie Mialaret is my mother and she is 53 years old. My mother exercises very rarely because of her intense work schedule. She says it is hard for her to have the energy everyday to work out after long work hours. She has never smoked in her life because she does not find it appealing. Mrs. Mialaret eats a very low-fat diet and eats very small portions. My mother eats very healthy and is able to maintain her weight without exercise. She faces no barriers when it comes to eating healthy because growing up she ate little portions and couldn't afford fast food. I would like to change my eating habits to better reflect my mom's diet however, I would like to incorporate some sort of exercise into my daily routine. My mom hopes to start exercising

Another way to deal with past regrets that is brought to light is the idea of repressing that memory in the first place. Unlike her sisters, Rachel Price is the only one who ignores her guilt. After Ruth May’s death and their departure from Nathan, Rachel rarely ever brings these major events up again. Instead she talks about her new life, speaking about her newest boy toy and complaining about the African’s culture. The night of Ruth May’s death, since Rachel is

Rachel Brown, a dynamic character in Inherit the Wind, is transformed by her experiences and actions. For example, at the beginning of the book Rachel asks, “Why can't you be on the right side of things?” to which Cates replies, “Your father's side”(Inherit the Wind 9). Rachel is against any thoughts defying her father. She refuses to even take a second glance at them. Rachel and Cates are very good friends and might even be beyond friends, but when it comes to opposing her father she will not stand up for him. On the other hand, as the book's end draws nearer, Rachel yells out, “No! No, Father. Don’t pray to destroy Bert!” (Inherit the Wind 66). In the beginning of the story Rachel is invested in her fater 100%. She follows in his footsteps

Returned call to Ms Deborah Turner. She wanted to complain about a CW worker that did not allowed see her great-niece Astasia (2years old) and great-nephew, Odion (4 years old).

As we can perceive throughout Inherit the Wind we can see how Rachel’s dynamic personality allows her to see things for how they really are and how she is able to think for the first time in her life. As well, through Brady and Drummond’s opposing views on being open and closed minded we can see how Drummond thinking leads to a fulfilling and prosperous society and Brady’s way of thinking leaves the society with their heads in the sand afraid to come out, leaving society in the

This paper examines the case study about Sarah Burke. A case study analysis form was completed and symptoms were identified. Identification of certain diagnostic criteria were interpreted and clarified for the exhibiting individual. Illumination of criteria for proposed diagnosis lead to the discussion which resolves the risk factors and clinical features associated with the diagnosis. Recognition of certain symptoms and criteria brought to light other possible comorbidities. Cumulative risk theory, as well as, the diathesis stress model were investigated for possible involvement in the Burke disorder development. Multidimensional factors related to the onset and maintenance of her symptoms are deliberated; as well as, how her culture played a role. In the end, a conclusion is given about suggested pre- and post- treatment, overall benefits of those treatments, and prognosis outlooks.

Rachel grew up in a house hold where she had to grow up really quick. In her early teenage years she witnesses her mom struggle through abusive relationships with her step dad and other boyfriends that came after. She eventually became an alcoholic.
