This paper will be an analysis of the personality of Blanche Elizabeth Devereaux from the show titled “The Golden Girls.” In this paper Blanche will be analyzed from two points of view. The first analysis will be from the view of psychodynamics using Freud’s ideas on personality. For this analysis I will begin with the structure of Blanche’s personality in regards to the Id, which is the aspect of personality that deals with the instincts, the Ego, which is the rational aspect of the personality, and the Superego, which is the moral aspect of personality. The second analysis will be from the perspective of Abraham Maslow; I will use Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and his

The ability to handle hardships in the world can come easy to some and to others it may be so completely out of their own grasp that they give up without even trying.

DocViewer Page of 2 Zoom Pages In the Secret Life of Bees the character I particularly admire the most would be Lilly because shes someone who grew up with one parent, her father was never really there for her and would constantly abuse her. The abuse was both mentally and physically, because he was so angry that Deborah Lilly’s mom abandoned him. Most people say that words don’t hurt which can be true in some cases but what was different in Lilly’s case was that “T. Ray,” her father wouldn’t talk to her at all and didn't show Lilly any love, it was all anger. Rosaleen was more of a step in mother and a sister, she always took care of Lilly always making sure she was safe and sound.

In that class, the student learns about different teaching methods and how to care for children. As part of the curriculum, we volunteered at Long Elementary as teacher aides. Working with 4th grade students and observing an everyday class room was such an awe-inspiring experience. I had a completely new perspective about teachers. I have so much more respect as before. Teachers put so much time and effort into helping children for their benefits. I knew from the first day I helped with Ms. Williams’ 4th grade class, how much a teacher is a positive influence on children. There is an overwhelming feeling when you help a student with a problem and in return they give you the most heart-warming smile. The experience at Long Elementary helped me make my final decision on whether I wanted to teach elementary or secondary school. As much as I enjoyed helping elementary students, in my heart I knew secondary school was the path God had in store for me.

In an alternate universe someone else would take the blame for an individual’s bad behavior. Life would be great if bad behavior could be overlooked. Fortunately, that’s not true!
