The Cuckold Stepto Analysis

In Karen Russell’s “St. Lucy’s Home for Girls Raised by Wolves,” Claudette tells the story of how her pack was transformed by the nuns and her younger sister, Mirabella, was not. Her sisters questioned, “‘Whatever will become of Mirabella?’” (Russell 233) Mirabella, a free-spirited wolf-girl, struggles to keep up with the rest of her pack as they learn how to become socially-acceptable ladies. I will be analyzing a few of Mirabella’s traits: unchangeable, confused, and loving.

This book also includes two secondary characters. The Jesuit priests Claude Chauchetiere and Pierre Cholonec. Greer who provide a strong cultural background for both the characters to help people understand the contrasts between the interesting character of Catherine, who switches between the Jesuits and the Iroquois convert. Claude Chauchetière , a Jesuit missionary seems to be harsh on Catherine through out the book. During the chapter Gangaauagué: A Mohawk Childhood, this statement really stood out to me. “Chauchetière insists that Catherine was repelled by torture, even before she converted to Christianity: “She never had a savage woman’s spirit of cruelty; she could not bear to see anyone harmed, not even a slave, and she thought it a sin to watch a prisoner torture and executing It was a fact of Iroquois life, formative experience that surely played a part in shaping the program of ascetic penance she developed as an adult and a Christian.” (Greer, pg. 47) This quote shows the true colors of Catherine and her development from changing from Mohawk to Christianity. It is interesting to see the feeling that Claude is portrayed as in this quote, it gives you a sense of comparison between Christianity and the Mohawks and the changes she has to make when she switches between the two. Through out this book, it is interesting to

The Diary of Anne Frank shows the changes in behavior and maturity for the main character, Anne, as she stays in the annex for two years.In Act I, Anne was more energetic and playful as a thirteen-year-old. Act I Scene 3 highlights Anne’s playful and clumsy behavior by talking about her pranks. On page 552, it states “Anne: Who cares if it’s dignified? I don’t want to be dignified. Mrs. Frank: [To Anne] You complain that I don’t treat you like a grownup. But when I do, you resent it” (Goodrich and Hackett 552). This shows that Anne is not ready to be treated like an adult. She dislikes when her mother expects her to be mature and she has a teenage mentality. She does not care that her behavior is not dignified and mature. She wants to have fun and frolic, much like what a child would want. Therefore, in the beginning of Act I, Anne acts childish and immature. However, in Scene 4 of Act II, it mentions how Anne has matured. “She is no longer a child, but a woman with courage to meet whatever lies ahead” (634). This quote shows that change that Anne has gone through as a

In the novel The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse by Louise Erdrich, the main character, Agnes, goes through many transformations throughout the course of the novel, be that spiritual, gendered, or in the basis of identity. Agnes’s identity, both as a female and as Father Damien, is an imperfect example of syncretism, as they appear at certain times as two distinct individuals, and at others, the individual identities are indiscernible. Syncretism is a term related to the concept of hybridity, and is defined as “…the fusion of two distinct traditions to produce a new and distinctive whole (Ashcroft).” In this case, syncretism is being examined in the context of the combination of Agnes’s gendered identities to form one new person, distinct from what it began as. To fully become Agnes, at the beginning of the novel, the main character strips her identity as Sister Cecilia. He past experiences in some way influence her opinions and actions, but she no longer identifies as Sister Cecilia as a person. Agnes’s transformation into Father Damien is drastically different. In adopting his identity as her own, Agnes retains her feminine, drawing on both individuals at separate times when the situation calls for it, and retains both identities until right before her death. There are times during the novel when, if not for the gendered pronouns used by the author, it would be impossible to distinguish which identity has taken control, thus alluding to a single, new

Once again we can see Anne has developed her own sense of who she is. She explains that she is a woman, and a strong woman at that. She takes part of who she is, and uses it to form a stronger sense of self-identity. Anne used her gender to mark her identity. Not only that, but in this passage she also mentions that she has goals and opinions of her own, making her independent and further developing who she is by forming her own though.

Roosevelt, Theodore (1858-1919), 26th president of the United States (1901-09), the first president to exploit the public dimensions of his office in an age of mass communications, a reform leader at home and a skilled diplomat abroad. In his lifetime Roosevelt became a personal model, particularly for the country's youth, in a way that no public figure has matched. He was one of the most popular presidents in American history.

After months of disagreement, Anne and her mother finally start to get along. Anne becomes more sympathetic to her mother, and realizes that some of her past entries about her mother were very cruel and hotheaded. Now, Anne does her best to care for her mother and also keep her mouth shut at times. She tries not to take things as serious, as well. She does her best to mature when it comes to her and her mother’s relationship.

In section 8, Christine asks Lady Reason for the purpose behind which men attack women. Is it caused by nature or hatred for the women race? Lady Reason replies with, “…some [men] have attacked women with good intentions, that is, in order to draw men who have gone astray away from the company of vicious and dissolute women, with whom they might be infatuated,” (Couser, 128). In order to comply with this theory men have sought out to attack all women and believed them all to be abominations.

It is a principle that pertains keeping promises, especially by the physician or nurses, made by a patient. It requires telling the truth, being loyal, and advocating for the patients (Ethics Resource Center, 2009). It encourages the commitment of health care providers to the consent of the patient using their highest level of knowledge and skills, for example, commitment to provide end of life care for patients with acute illness, i.e., palliative care with no medication (Fowler & Hammer, 2013).

Anne matures throughout the course of her diary entries, moving from detailed accounts of basic activities to deeper, more profound thoughts about humanity and her own personal nature. “I know what I want, I have a goal, an opinion, I have a religion and love. Let me be myself and then I am satisfied. I know that I’m a woman, a woman with inward strength and plenty of courage.” This shows that Anne matures through the course of her diary, she considers herself as a woman rather than a young girl and sets goals for herself that she wants to achieve. Anne becomes more optimistic even after she feels misunderstood by everyone and feels completely alone.

The third change in Anne's emotions happens when she rejected her mother for her father. We see that from the beginning, she always loved her father more than her mother and she didn’t have any interest in loving her mother. One night, she started to have a nightmare and woke up screaming. She disturbed the whole house, or annex, and her mom came to calm her down. Anne lays down and her mom tries to comfort her but she rejects her mom. She requests to see her dad and her mom walks out and starts to cry. Later Anne felt guilty for doing it and at the end of the story,

The short story “Killings” is written by Andre Dubs which later recreated into a motion picture film called In the Bedroom by director Todd Field in 2001. Both the short story “Killings” and the film In the Bedroom highlights the themes of love and revenge. It shows how far a person would go for the people they love. The short story was named “Killings” because it not only focuses on two deaths but the multiple types of death and different aspects of it.

She berated herself for her misjudgements and for being blinded by appearance to Wickham's untrustworthiness, which should have been evident in the discrepancy between his words and actions. She was "absolutely ashamed" of herself, and attained self-knowledge -- "Till this moment I never truly knew myself." She faced up to the unpalatable truth about herself, and determined to change. Her courage and strength are commendable. This is in contrast to, most strikingly, Mr. Collins, who completely lacks the capacity for reflection and self-awareness. The reader laughs at his self-importance and ridiculously obsequious, sycophantic manner.
