According to paragraph 19, "... they had talked of nothing else but butter and eggs, and the prices of things, and now they had as much to say to each other as people who meet after a long separation. By sticking pieces of their childhood and personal lives in the middle of the story, you can see how and why the two end up bonding over their memories. In paragraph 25, the wife warns the kids, "And you better be careful of that, an don't waste it. Your father works hard for his money." This piece contradicts the description of his wife in paragraph 19. Paragraph 19 provides the background that says, "In her desire to indulge her boys she had unconsciously assumed a defensive and almost hostile attitude towards her husband." The wife went from defending her boys with everything that she had to defending her husband and his

‘Well do your parents at least know what happened? I mean, am I allowed to know that?’ Because I feel a flash of anger that he won’t tell me something as important as this. ‘Skeeter, I told you I hate talking…’ But then he grits his teeth, lowers his voice. ‘Dad only knows part of it. Mother knows the real story, so do Patricia’s parents. And or course her.’ He throws back the rest of his drink” (244). In this passage, Skeeter is talking to her boyfriend about meeting his parents. He recently came out of a hard relationship with a girl who cheated on him; his parents had really liked this girl. You can see the desperate nature of Skeeter and the annoyance Stuart feels. There is nothing incredibly important about this paragraph, other than the fact it is a great example of the syntax Stockett uses. In some books, the emotion of the character comes after the dialogue, which makes it really confusing and hard to read. Stockett words things in a way where you can tell the emotion of the character while reading the dialogue. This makes the sentences really fluid and easy to read. The whole book has many examples of

After a little while Charlotte began calling the girls once a week and talked to them about future plans. “Lots of kids in New York went to private schools, but they way beyond our budget. Liz and I rightly belonged in one of those special public schools for gifted students, she explained, but it was too late to apply this year, so what we needed to do was start the school year in Byler.” (Walls 114).

     The plays, The Glass Menagerie and A Raisin in the Sun, deal with the love, honor, and respect of family. In The Glass Menagerie, Amanda, the caring but overbearing and over protective mother, wants to be taken care of, but in A Raisin in the Sun, Mama, as she is known, is the overseer of the family.

Oates begins her story much like any other author showing a dysfunctional family, with depictions of dysfunction, rebellion, and mindlessness of those who are most important. Connie, the main character, is shown as the redheaded step child so to speak, she is neglected by her father and receives nothing but negativity from her mother. Now, there is always the argument that Connie is an immature teenager who has not yet had to grow up and face the music of responsibility; however, the lack of defined parental structure in her life hinders her capability to flourish as a young adult. For example, Oates writes “Their father was away at work most of the time and when he came home he wanted supper and he read the newspaper at supper and after supper he went to bed. He didn't bother talking much to them, but around his bent head Connie's mother kept picking at her until Connie wished her mother was dead and she herself was dead and it was all over.” (Oates, 468) The excerpt describes the relationship of Connie and her parents to a tee with the description of the ignorance of her father and the personal anguish with her mother. Oates uses language to paint the picture she wants the reader to see and follows through on the image she has manifested.
