JENNIFER TECHNIQUES - Atwood opens her speech using colloquial language. The informal nature of her language makes her speech more accessible for the audience and the humour associated with the colloquial phrases engaging. It sets the casual atmosphere in which the speech is delivered.

The narrator is portraying a woman who is looked down upon because of her mental illness, but women at the time were often seen as childish or too emotional. “Then he took me in his arms called me a blessed little goose,” (Gilman 5). The narrator’s husband, John, treats her almost like a father would treat a daughter. The narrator is belittled because of her inability to act like women at the time were expected to. “Victorian values stressed that women were to behave demurely and remain with in the domestic sphere,” (Wilson 6). During the 19th century, women were expected to simply care for the children and clean the house. Most of the time, women who aspired to do more than that were not considered respectable wives. “Because the narrator is completely dependent on her husband and is allowed no other role than to be a wife and a mother, she represents the secondary status of women during the 19th century,” (Wilson 5).

She was not only physically ugly, but she did not treat her husbands with respect or dignity either. She would beat her husbands, if she felt the need to. If she in return would get beaten, she would gain some love for her husbands. In fact her fifth husband, Johnny, routinely beat her, and she loved and respected him most of all, “He struck me, still can ache, along my row of ribs…but…I think I loved him best, I’ll tell no lie.”

“It was a melancholy little drama, woven from bits and scraps of gossip and neighborhood legend: Mrs. Radley had been beautiful until she married Mr. Radley and lost all her

To Kill a Mockingbird takes place in Maycomb, a small town hit by the Great Depression. The families in the town are stereotyped by their past generations. People in the town believe that heritage is an important part of your character if your family has a history of violence, addiction, laziness, etc. people will see you as such. One person stereotyped is Boo Radley. Throughout the book, he’s seen as a dangerous and threatening person, but we soon learn this is not the truth.

Concerned that word about her affair will spread throughout the village, Abigail begins to lie and point fingers at people for witchcraft, hoping it can draw the people’s focus away from her. After she and the girls were discovered in the forest by Reverend Parris, she lies or purposely forgets to mention to that she had drank a potion that would kill John Proctor’s wife. The only thing she said to him was: “We did dance, uncle, and when you leaped out of the bush so suddenly, Betty was frightened and then she fainted. And there's the whole of it.” (Miller 9). In another situation where Abigail's lying is shown again, Parris is asking why she was fired from her previous job as Elizabeth Proctor’s servant, and her excuse is: “She hates me, uncle, she must, for I would not be her slave. It's a bitter woman, a lying, cold, sniveling woman, and I will not work for such woman!” (Miller 11). Clearly this is false because Elizabeth didn't fire Abigail just out of coldness, though that was part of it, she fired her because she found that Abigail was having an affair with her husband, John. These lies led to unnecessary problems and prove Abigail is a self centered person because she only wants what's best for herself.

Life is like a thrill ride; one never knows what will be in store for them. Many characters in the story To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee feel the same way about life, having experienced many surprising and unexpected turns of events.

To start Boo Radley is a kind person, he cares about everyone, this can be seen throughout the book in a series of events for example, when Boo Radley put a blanket on Scout’s shoulder because it was cold out “ Someday maybe, Scout can thank him for covering her up” (Lee pg 96), another event is when he folded and sewed Jem’s pants “ When I went back for my breeches- they were all in a tangle when I was gettin’ out of’ em, I couldn’t get’ em loose. When I went back they were folded across the fence…. like they were expectin’ me.” (Lee pg 78), or when he took Jem to Atticus’ house after the brawl against Bob Ewell and when Heck Tate asked who had brought Jem home Scout pointed her finger towards Boo Radley and she talked to him like if they were friends “Hey Boo, I said” (Lee pg 362). All of those events show the reader that Boo Radley is a kind person and that no matter the situation he will always do his best to help. Boo Radley is kind and he had always been that way, even when he was young he always treated Miss Maudie in a gentle and kind way, which makes Miss Maudie think that Boo Radley or how she calls him Mr. Arthur still is the same kind gentleman he was in his childhood. “I remember Arthur Radley when he was a boy. He always spoke nicely to me, no matter what folks said he did. Spoke as nicely as he knew how” (Lee pg 61), with this quote from Miss Maudie, one may see how it supports my claim about Boo Radley being a kind person, the quote also conveys how Boo Radley was when he was young and how he was treated.
