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.

In this section, Jeannette Walls starts off, in the present time by telling the readers about her seeing her mom on the street, that she hasn’t seen in a long time. Jeannette uses emotional words like blustering and fretted to show that seeing her mom was an emotional time. Later in the section, she goes way back into her life to when she was three years old and when her family and her was living in the desert. She started off telling a story of when she was on fire. This story was intense, it was really dramatic on her parents part, her dad was screaming at her and the doctor a lot. Then she talked about when they moved to Las Vegas, her family lived in a motel room, which didn’t last long, they had to leave Vegas in a rush, because her dad was cheating in blackjack and the dealer found out. The last story in the section is where her family drove to San Francisco and stayed in another motel. One night her dad was at the bar, across the street. He left Jeannette and her three other siblings in the room. Jeannette got bored so she decided to play with fire and that let to a big disaster resulting in the whole hotel burning down.

“He [Jeannette’s father, Rex] will not keep me out of harm’s way, he will put me in harm’s way and I have to find a way to remove myself from the situation.” (Diversity Connection). I feel like this quote, from Jeannette, came t directly from the situation where Rex took her out to the bar to help him earn money for alcohol, but yet she still doesn’t see herself as a victim. Even though Jeannette Walls was the victim of sexual abuse at a very young age, she tries to recreate the freedom from her childhood into her adult life, But in her younger years where she has no occupational activities, no nurturing, no money and no friends to turn to, it proves to be very hard to maintain.

In the story Charlotte Doyle, by Avi, the main character Charlotte Doyle has one big conflict that is about her voyage to America. That is because Charlotte Doyle gets put on a ship that takes her on an expedition back to America, but--she is the only female onboard… Now a theme that I would have to choose thus far into the novel would have to be “Don’t judge a book by its cover”, this works figuratively and literally because the literal would come from the actual cover, you’d think that she would be conflicted on her voyage by weather, because of the waves crashing hard against the seahawk and figuratively because of the actual book. I mean she is on this voyage and she’s the only female aboard the ship, and it’s very rough because she is

There were also reported that on occasions Gardiner's lover Catherine Browne had been participating in robberies alongside 'The Darkie' disguised in men's apparel. Consequently, all reports, however, continued to state that the bushrangers 'can be identified'. Although many of the correspondents in the country areas where the offences had occurred either knew of or were well informed as to who the perpetrators were they appeared reluctant to name them, either as a way of assisting the police by not alerting the criminals or their friends as well as protecting themselves against possible reprisals. Therefore, in most instances, as with the NSW police gazettes, descriptions of the assailants were only printed in newspapers by correspondents as

Doyle's A Scandal in Bohemia follows the story of the famous detective Sherlock Holmes on his adventures to retrieve a disgraceful photograph of Irene Adler and the King of Bohemia. The king, now engaged to a different woman, is fearful that Adler may use the photo as blackmail. In A Scandal in Bohemia, the apparent role of women is minuscule. The only female emphasis is on one woman, who is the object of Holmes' detective inquiries. In A Scandal in Bohemia, society places women at a subordinate level, pushing them to the background and therefore never allowing the reader to fully understand their character.

In both books, the character refuses to acknowledge their wrongdoings in the past, and live in denial. In The Mousetrap, Molly was a schoolteacher who did not listen when one of her students told her he was being abused. She refuses to take responsibility

After Hester is released from prison Hawthorne leaves us wondering if her choice to stay in Boston was even a choice she could make. Chapter five opens with Hester coming into the light and leaving the cell in which she had been punished in for so long. However, once she is out, she decides to stay in Massachusetts, in the same community which has shamed her for so long. Hawthorne describes the decision when he writes, “it may seem marvelous, that this woman should still call that place her home… But there is a fatality… which almost invariably compels human beings to linger … the spot where some great and marked event has given the color to their lifetime” (71). In this quote Hawthorne is not only speaking of Hester, he is speaking of

Herland, written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman was first written in 1915. The story talks about a feminist utopian society and what would happen if women were to live entirely on their own. In Herland everything is seemingly perfect. The trees always grow fruit, peace, and happiness for everyone. Everything in Herland is different from life in the United States, especially the women. The women in Herland are nothing like women are “suppose” to be and they’re certainly different than any women the three men have ever seen before. The women are incredibly strong, wear their hair cut short, dress in an “unladylike” manner and are all highly intelligent. These women are able to support themselves, their country, and their kids all without the help of any men. All of these traits have been reversed since they are typically traits you would see in a male. The three men in the story, Van, Jeff, and Terry, found these women, where they lived and the way they lived to be fascinating, they had never heard of anything like Herland or knew of anyone living the way the women did. When the men went exploring the land in which the women lived they got a little more than they bargained for. They were expecting to go to this beautiful place with beautiful women and they soon found out that Herland wasn’t all they thought it would be.
