Summary Of Mrs. Cogdon's Actions

     In The Murder of Helen Jewett, Patricia Cohen uses one of the most trivial murders during the 1800’s to illustrate the sexiest society accommodations to the privileged, hypocritical tunneled views toward sexual behavior, and the exploitation of legal codes, use of tabloid journalism, and politics. Taking the fact that woman was made from taking a rib from man was more than biblical knowledge, but incorporated into the male belief that a woman’s place is determined by the man. Helen had the proper rearing a maid servant, but how did she fall so far from grace. Judge Weston properly takes credit for rearing her with the proper strictness and education. Was Helen seduced at an

In the story “The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle with connections” the main idea of this story so far that I read is that they are going on a boat ride with a family.Mr.Grummage was a y’all man who wore a black frock coat with a stove pipe hat that added to his considerable height. The person that is telling the story asked a lot of questions and obviously had a relationship with Mr.Grummage and they were some what family or real close friends.We can infer that she is a child because in the first chapter she stated that she wanted to say goodbye to her chaperone and she kept saying she had to say good. Some strange man was listening to their conversation and heard that the captain name was Jaggery. The man was scared of the captain because

Ms. Martz entered politics in 1996 as Gov. Marc Racicot’s running mate and, with their victory, became the state’s first female lieutenant governor.

Yesterday evening, the daughter of the McClellan family was reported lost. She was last seen on Queen St W near her house. Clarisse McClellan was last noticed to be lost when a local citizen, Guy Montag, noticed that she had not been coming out for her daily walks. Montag says “She would come outside on a daily basis to talk to me about how her day was

In Dennett's Excerpt, he describes two possible reactions Mary could possibly have upon her release and first experience of color. These two reaction have different outcomes in what people would think in each scenario involving Mary's "all physical knowledge of the world."

     In "The Jilting of Granny Weatherall," Katherine Anne Porter gives readers a glimpse of the thoughts of a woman about to die.  Lying in her bed in her daughter Cornelia's house, eighty-year-old Granny Weatherall drifts in and out of consciousness.  Through her thoughts of events both current and bygone, it is learned that Granny has worked hard all her life, and frequently tells herself that she did a good job.  She thinks of events that made her stronger: digging holes for fence posts, "riding country roads in the winter when women had their babies" (311), taking care of sick animals and sick children.  Though Granny Weatherall tries to assure herself that her life has been

Many people try to prove themselves to other by acting one way in the presence of one group of friends and acting another way in the presence of another group of acquaintances. Such is the case for the “chameleon character” Clarence Hervey in Maria Edgeworth’s 1801 novel Belinda. Through Edgeworth’s use of third person point of view and a negative tone towards the character of Clarence, the reader is better able to get a sense of the arrogance and complexity of this man.

So far in the novel we know that something drastic happened to the main character Melinda. We still don't know what happened to her but we do know that the impact it had on her was large.We also know a boy named Andy Evans was the curator of the “event”. This “event” caused Melinda to lose all her friends, except for Heather who she meet this year. Melinda keeps seeing Andy around the school and it is causing her to become paranoid and depressed. First she saw him in the halls and then one day at lunch he came up to her and began to twirl her ponytail. Melinda quickly pulls away from him and runs to the bathroom to throw up. The next day Melinda accidentally cuts herself and likes the way it feels, so she begins doing it intentionally.

I really enjoyed reading “The Other” by Judith Ortiz Cofer. I would interpret the subject/shadow in this poem as the negative feelings you feel such as doubt, disappointment, insecurity but this also can be completely wrong as Cofer continues to refer to her as if she was someone as an actual being. Almost seems to me like a spiritual entity. This poem seems to me like a representation of baggage. I believe as Cofer describes the woman that is shadowing her throughout the day she is dealing with another version of herself where she sees all the baggage. The message to this poem is do not let negatives haunt your life. I believe Cofer is allowing this shadow to control her emotions. Allowing her to feel feeling of fear and anxiety expressed

Candide is a satirical piece written by Voltaire, the great French historian and philosopher during the Age of Enlightenment. There are two contrasting female characters in the literature. Cunegund is the daughter of a baron who experiences unbearable miseries. An unnamed old woman is a servant of Cunegund who was born as a daughter of a Pope. Candide, who is Cunegund’s lover, is also a traveling companion. Even though both Cunegund and the old woman share similarities in their respective lives, and possess admirable strength, they contrast in that the old woman is pessimistic and realistic while Cunegund is optimistic and impractical.

One scary night on a weekend June 20, 1938. Mrs.Wehling was about to give birth to twins. She was excited but scared. When they arrived at the hospital they told her to go into a room where they would prepare everything. She was the only one giving birth at that time. The hospital was empty nobody to be seen but the doctors around Mrs.Wehling. Dr.Hitz is talking to Mrs.Wehling telling her that once the babies are born he has to get rid of his life and someone else's. Dr.Hitz never tells her that it's going to be her. When the twins are born the doctor takes Dr.Hitz outside the room and tells him it's

In a world usually depicted as a “man’s world,” a woman’s role is not considered as significant and thus can be repressed. It is why a feminist perspective or criticism comes into place, especially in literature. By definition, a feminist criticism consist of scrutinizing “the ways in which literature reinforces the economic, political, social, and psychological oppression of women.” (Tyson) In Gail Godwins’s A Sorrowful Woman, the leading female character is concentrated in her efforts in distancing from her structured lifestyle. A feminist would critic Godwins story by as the female character is in pursuit of peace and happiness and wants to escape from the role she has been implanted. The critic would concentrate on the experience woman

Q. So, Mr.Finley, how would you describe the situation Mr.Snuffles was in when you found him.

The wedding scene was shot at the agios loannis chapel.most of the outdoor scenes were filmed on location at the small greek island of skopelos. It was written by Catherine johnson and it was based on the songs of ABBA. it was directed by phyllida lloyd and distributed by universal pictures in partnership with tom hanks,rita playton and littlestar. It earned 6.8 million on a 52 million budget. Meryl streep’s was 59 years old when they made the movie she’s won 2 two oscars and countless other awards. The movie is a musical and the songs are from ABBA it come out on broadway october,18,2001 at the winter garden theatre after premiering in london at the prince edward theatre.it was on March 23, 1999 that the musical mama mia met its first and most crucial test when it was put in front of its first-ever paying audience in London and was given the kind of welcome it has been getting ever since, every night, at every one of the many productions that have since followed. But that early spring evening in London it was still a completely unknown quantity. We really had no idea how it was going to be received reflects the producer Judy Craymer whose initial concept, exactly a decade earlier it had been to use existing ABBA songs within the format of a new, original musical. But happily, she remembers, The audience went wild. They were literally out of their seats and singing and dancing in the aisles and

The first day of observations was extremely scary to me. I have always been the student, but this day I listened and recorded the teacher as an observant. It was very different, at first. I met with the Family and Consumer Science teacher, Mrs. Giddens. We walked to her room, and settled our belongings in her office before the students arrived. Mrs. Giddens spoke with other teachers about upcoming lesson plans for the week. Since she is the only Family and Consumer Science teacher at the school, she has to do a lot of research on her own. She spoke with some other teachers to help design ways to get the students more intrigued to learn. She explained to me that every year they go to a convention in Montgomery. She is able to get inspirations from other Family and Consumer Science teachers. She wishes there were more teachers in this field that she could go to for help with ideas, but there is not any in the school. Mrs. Giddens has to go outside of the Clay County school system to get help for this program. She does a lot of researching and emailing other teachers to see what works in their classrooms and what does not work in the classroom. Since Mrs. Giddens is considered a Career Tech teacher, she has a cooking room and a sewing lab. The first day I came, she was working on finishing up
