They live in a stressful situation, but both hold it firm and lived through it. Their stories had taught a new generation a lesson that life was not easy as thought. Sometime it could be difficult to manage like both characters’ lives happened in the story. They were not crazy, but they were strong enough to live through their stress. Life sometime is unpredictable, but learning how to understand of the change could be a tool helping us to challenge our

An illustration of this is when Helen describes Myra as having a “rotten-sweetish smell as of bad fruit.” Also, when Helen asks what she will become when she is older, she looks very confused and says, “I will help my mother, and work in the shop.” Helen replies to this by saying that she will become an airplane hostess. While Helen’s family does not have less money than Myra’s, she seems to have some issues when she says she is the only student in the classroom who, “carried a lunch pail and ate peanut-butter sandwiches in the high, bare, mustard-colored cloakroom…” She feels she is in danger because it could be somethings that separates her from the better off and popular children in the class. With this considered, if either of them had families with money like a classmate named Gladys Healey, they would not have differences they could bond

Throughout history, women have been expected to fit into a rigid gender stereotype. Women in the early 1900s would be expected to care for children, be able to do household duties and obey everything their husbands instructed. Those women that did not fit the stereotype were looked down upon by members of society and were often alienated. Edna, the protagonist of the novel, had to battle her inner conflict of not wanting to conform to society's standards throughout the novel. Over, and over again, she was reminded of the fact that she was different and that society did not approve of her way of thinking. In the novel The Awakening, by Kate Chopin, the author uses the characters and their actions in society to express the oppression and expectations society had towards women.

She smoothes over Sofia's betrayal of the family, her running away and fighting with her father, by calling it lucky that she ended up with such a loving husband and a beautiful blonde baby. Her story about the thieves who got caught the night Sofia was born similarly reflects her desire to look on the brighter side of things. She needs this positive attitude to craft positive family stories out of unfortunate events.

EQ2. Some of the similarities between Danielle and Genie is that they were both treated negligently by their care givers since a very young age. They had underdeveloped social and communication skill, and were severely underweight. From the primary socialization stage point of view, they did not learn basic skills, such as language, how to act, and values. Because they did not get pass that stage, they were not able to continue to the next stages, because they were unable communicate, they did not know how which behavior was acceptable, or not, within a social group.

His struggles are exacerbated by his surroundings such as Zeena his wife, the bleak Starkfield landscape, and his home which often takes on an oppressive quality. Mattie was Zeenas cousin and Ethans lover. This novel shows how even though Ethan and Zeena are married; Ethan loves Mattie more than he could possibly love Zeena. "It's bad enough to see the two women sitting there - but his face, when he looks around that bare place, just kills me" (Chapter 10).

In the book Catch-22 by Joseph Heller, nearly all of the characters in the book serve as “foils” toward the main character Yossarian. The central idea of Catch 22 that Joseph Heller is trying is prove is that war is crazy and pointless. He shows this with the fact that all of the character in the book except for Yossarian and Orr are crazy. One of the very important foils in this book is Dunbar, who is Yossarians closest friend. Other than being Yossarians closest friend in the war, Dunbar is a foil to Yossarian because he has extremely similar philosophies and ways of acting.

Cherry and Marcia are both Socs. Hinton describes them as “… tuff looking girls – dressed sharp and really good-looking. They looked about sixteen or seventeen. One had short dark hair and the other had long red hair.” In the movie their characters were well cast because they fit the description in the book. By looking at them in the movie it was easy to

The officers are not interested in any explanation that the men might put frontward—they seem like they have a formerly assigned task, and will do whatever necessary to satisfy it, even at the expense of standard human rights and self-worth. The military fan boats return here, again as an alarming, hostile foil to Zeitoun’s quiet canoe of rescue and exploration.

”(Neale Walsch) Because Elizabeth and Lulie are unaware of who they are. In another way to say, they are in the “comfort zone”. Then their life starts to change. And once it changes, Elizabeth and Lulie receive a journey of wisdom.

I Visualize that currently in the lives of Rebecca and Tane that both their lives aren’t going well. Though they may be very talented. They definitely do have some problems that are tough for both of them to overcome. Such as a dead mom a dad who left, and a uncaring family for both of them.

The protagonist of the play was named Becca Corbett, a mother and wife who recently went through the dramatic death of her son, Danny. As one might expect, her fatal flaw is not being able to let go of her son’s death. There were multiple protagonists in this play, despite the limited number of actors. The first and most prevalent antagonist is Becca’s husband, Howie Corbett. Howie creates conflict with Becca early on by trying to seduce her. This causes a major argument between the two and actually moves them farther apart in their road to recovery. Both characters dealt with the grieving process in their own way, which caused a great deal of tension. The second antagonist is Becca’s sister, Izzy, who creates tension with Becca after telling her that she is pregnant. Izzy’s future child is a gateway to memories of Becca’s past, which she had a difficult time dealing with. Finally, the last antagonist that appears in this production is life itself. Everywhere she looks, everywhere she goes, and Becca is reminded of her son. During the opening scene the table is set for

“Opposites attract.” This is a very cliché quote used by physicists and other scientific personnel, but it rings true in many different ways. In literature, the correct term for a character that sets off or enhances another character by contrast is called a “foil.” Pairs of characters that are foils to each other have very opposing views and personalities, but their presence with each other illustrates the qualities in a better light. The book Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe is a fictional novel which includes a main character named Okonkwo. Okonkwo has some very distinguishing features about him, but the fact that he has a foil in the novel

The first reason that Nikki is like me is sh is not popular in her middle school. I am not very popular in school. I think that when I read this book it makes me feel like someone actually knows how what I feel like in middle school. When she goes to school she just says to herself because she does not want to be picked on, but sometimes thinks that she is getting attention but she is actually being laughed at.

Everybody has a shadow something, or something they try to hide, something inside of themselves that they refuse to show anyone else, most of us are able to keep that person safely hidden, others must reveal that side of themselves to climb the social ladder, or in the case of Drizzt Do’Urden to survive, surrounded by the enemy, behind enemy lines, and ready to die, Drizzt is forced to release his shadow, The Hunter, in order to survive. In Salvatore’s novel The Lone Drow, Drizzt Do’Urden is phenomenon within Faerun, he feels detached from his homeland due to his inherently good nature, Drizzt is a drow who hails from the city Menzoberranzan an underground city where liars and cheats reach the top while the good-hearted remain at the bottom of the staircase. Drizzt abandons his homeland in order to move to the surface where heroes could succeed instead of trodden upon. On the surface Drizzt is abandoned and trodden upon due to his race, overtime Drizzt is able to build a reputation as a good-hearted drow, something the surface dwellers had never seen. Salvatore creates a round ever changing character through the use of foil between Drizzt, The Best Swordsman in
