The Blind Side Chapter 3 Summary

In this episode, he reveals his emotional and sensitive side as he attempts to console a tearful Dr. Cuddy who was struggling with maternity. He returns to her house later on in the episode and attempts to cheer her up by bringing Dr. Cuddy an age-enhanced photograph of a teenage Rachel. He tries to get her to understand that the motherly love develops over time. He then admits that the photograph came with the frame and was not Rachel.

* The author gives the story from two different perspectives one from the mother’s perspective, Ruth, and the other from the son’s perspective, James.

Rachel took her arm away from his but still walked close to him. Then he had cried out "Rachel! Do you not love me? Is not my love for you as sacred as anything in all of life itself?" Rachel was quiet. They passed a street lamp. Her face was pale and beautiful. He had made a movement to grab her arm and she had moved a little farther from him. "No," she had replied. He then said "Some time--when I am more worthy?" he had asked in low voice, but she did not hear him, she did not even say goodnight and went into her house.

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

Rachel’s Tears has a lot of significant symbols and pictures, however I choose to make her eyes and the rose the main symbol. I choose this picture because the book is in a significant way named after the picture she drew before she died, which are the eyes and rose. The thirteen tears represent how many students died on April 20,1999. The reason the tears are watering a plant is because, when the students died they brought life to people they had never met. Their deaths changed people’s lives forever. The eyes represent Rachel’s eyes. I have decided to use two quotes from the book, because they were the most commonly used ones in the book. When Rachel said that she was unashamed about her faith and what she believed, she was also willing

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

This further impacted the children Rachel and Leah, being the oldest daughters in the family. Rachel was a daughter that loved her father and she at first felt that he was the best person in the world. She would always follow him around and be his little princess, that was until she started to see the bad things that he started doing in the dark, mysterious place they were living in. She started to see how arrogant and defensive he became throughout the community and how he threw hissy fits. She realized that enough was enough and she needed to grow accustomed to this new place by herself, just like the narrator did in the poem. This is because she knew that her dad was just going insane and he wanted too much power. She now felt bad for her mom and what he had done to her, and wanted to side with her mom to get out of the community that they were in because they had enough of it. Another thing that happened in the Congo while she was there was something absurd and scarring to say the least. Her sister had started to hunt with the men for meat and Rachel saw what they did when they killed the poor animals lives. Rachel was so startled and appalled that she had to become a vegetarian for a short time while they were there. This just shows that she had to adapt to a new lifestyle because she could not think of eating a poor animal that had an innocent life, but her sister Leach could have cared

Rachel is first introduced into the play at the very beginning where we see she has gone to the jail to visit her boyfriend Bert Cates. Rachel is very desperate to try and get Bert to just throw himself at the mercy of the court and admit that what he did was wrong. She just wants to be with him. As she enters the jail she speaks to Meeker saying “Mr Meeker, don’t let my father know I came here”, This quote portrays Rachel’s character very well. She is shy and lacks confidence, obviously worried of what would happen if her father found out she was visiting Cates, the enemy to her father at this point. She has lived her life in fear of her father and because of she followed everything

the child that it will always make her unquestionably love him. In the book, The Glass Castle,

Throughout the book, Rachel had the most character progression. Initially, Rachel was too scared to go against her father than to defend her friend. She tells Drummond about a recurring dream she had, "But I was more scared of him [her father] than falling (Pg. 55)." Ultimately, Rachel apologizes to Cates after the case and finally forms a stance of her own on

After learning that he is still sick, Big Daddy seeks solace in the cellar downstairs and is joined by Brick who is without his crutch and refuses alcohol when it is offered. By dismissing these two aides, Brick makes known his effort to try and repair the damage he has caused. Without alcohol, Brick is clear minded enough to come to terms with all that has happened and actually communicate with Big Daddy. As Big Daddy talks to Brick, he explains that all he has ever wanted was to leave a legacy for his family. This information definitively paints Big Daddy as a good, family man who only wants what he thinks is best for his family. Though he may not know how to show it, Big Daddy cares for his wife and kids and wants them to be better off than him. These developments, while completely contrary to the story in the book, help enhance Big Daddy and Brick as characters so that the audience wants them to succeed-a necessary component to any

Although their situation makes the reduction of uncertainty a lot more difficult because for Channing he remembers all the stuff they once did together, but Rachel cannot seem to place any remembrance on what they were like. She keeps remembering who she used to be before she met him, which was a completely different person. This causes him to get very frustrated with her, and this in turn puts a strain on them continuing of the reduction of uncertainty. There is a scene in the film where Channing takes Rachel out on a date and he brings her to all the places that they shared special moments at; where they first met, first date, and a ritual they would always do once a month. During this date the couple was able to talk and began to restart their relationship. I was able to see that from their communication it began to break the barrier between the couple, and allowed them to start to grow some feelings towards one another again. Where as in the film “Meet the Parents” the verbal communication between the father and the possible son-in-law they both do not know each other so everything is completely new about one another. I found that verbal communication actually decreased the chance of reducing the uncertainty between the two. For example the more they talked and learned about one another the more the conversation started to change because it helped them realize that they

As I previously mentioned, Brick was always very cold towards Maggie, yelling at her and even attempting to hit her with his crutch. The very fact that Brick uses a crutch to walk is symbolic, in that the alcohol was his crutch to deal with Skipper's death. Skipper and Brick have a great friendship, and it can almost be viewed as homosexual. The fact that Skipper killed himself the night after he played in a football game without Brick and had many fumbles and played very poorly overall. Maggie states that “it was only Skipper that harbored even any unconscious desire for anything not perfectly pure between you too!” (Williams, 833) Brick believes Maggie is the reason that Skipper killed himself, because she was ruining their friendship. Brick mourns his love for Skipper, which was the only true and good thing in his life. Maggie never dares speak of the forbidden love, and therefore Big Daddy is forced to step in as the judge. When Big Daddy confronts Brick about the homosexual attraction between himself and Skipper, Brick becomes extremely defensive and explains how their friendship was nothing more than a pure and true friendship. Big Daddy presses the issue, and Brick can no longer lie about the cause of Skipper’s death. It is then revealed at the climax of the book that before Skipper took his own life, he called Brick long distance and drunkenly confessed his

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. By the time Rachel was 13 year old, she dropped out of school to take the role of the emotional and financial care taker of her mother. Living in her

When Jacob finally arrives in Haran, Jacob falls in love with Rachel and offers himself to her father, Laban, in return for her. However, on their wedding night, Laban tricks Jacob by switching Rachel with his eldest daughter Leah. When Jacob realizes what happened, he demands that Rachel be married to him as well. Unbeknownst to him, Rachel could not bear children as she was “barren”, however since God was
