MSTT met with Quaiesha and Wilbur to discuss their recent verbal altercation which leads to Wilbur wanting to have Quaiesha placed outside the home. Wilbur stated he believes Quaiesha lack respect for him and the evidence he uses to describe this is her unwillingness to follow household rules, talking back to him, and comparing his home to her mother's home. Quaiesha explained she does not want to live with her father and she never did and feel forced to be there and want to go live with her mother. Wilbur explained to Quaiesha how that is not an option because the court placed her in his custody due to the physical abuse while she was with her mother. Wilbur explained he believes Quaiesha mother is behind this thinking because she continues
...e on her part. Throughout the story, the Mother is portrayed as the dominant figure, which resembled the amount of say that the father and children had on matters. Together, the Father, James, and David strived to maintain equality by helping with the chickens and taking care of Scott; however, despite the effort that they had put in, the Mother refused to be persuaded that Scott was of any value and therefore she felt that selling him would be most beneficial. The Mother’s persona is unsympathetic as she lacks respect and a heart towards her family members. Since the Mother never showed equality, her character had unraveled into the creation of a negative atmosphere in which her family is now cemented in. For the Father, David and James, it is only now the memories of Scott that will hold their bond together.
Have you ever decided that you wanted to fulfill your passion and you knew before you left this earth, you would? Helping the poor, saving lives, shielding families and inspiring individuals: this paper will compare and contrast Jane Addams and William Sumner. Although Addams and Sumner bear some superficial similarities, the differences between the both of them are clear. Although Addams and Sumner share a similar background, they each have their own worldview. Addams’ main focus was to contribute in any way that she could to help the poor and impact lives for a more efficient society. Sumner believed that the supply of wealth was based on people’s skills and those that have better skills and characteristics would more likely be wealthy while
Grace Paley’s “Samuel” and Kate Chopin’s “Désirée’s Baby” both deal with tragic deaths caused by peoples’ actions both directly and indirectly. These two short stories have similarities whose narrator tells the deaths of two young and innocent people who were the victims of a harsh and unsuspecting society. Paley’s “Samuel” is about a group of boys who are having fun on a subway train leaping from platform to platform between the cars. The adults are watching the children with mixed emotions. The men watching the boys reminisce back to memories of their childhood; while the women are angrily showing discontent on their faces directed at the boys. The action of one of the passengers causes the train to come to a halt throwing one of the boys
While planning the trip, she uses plenty excuses in order to go to Tennessee to visit her friends. She complains that kids have already been to Florida and needs to "be broad". She used The Misfit as her last resort to go to Tennessee. When leaving to go on the road, she sneaks her cat Pitty Sing, fearing "she may miss him too much". She could have her cat with someone. After The Misfit starts killing the family, she proceeds to beg for him to spare her life. This show that she is willing to live alone as long as she 's spared. She tells him "You 've got good blood". All her begging proved futile as she was shot. To me, her ultimate point was when said she would have Mr. Teagarden. Mr. Teagarden died wealthy from buying a Coca-Cola stock when the business started. The way she said that it seems as if she wanted to marry him because he had money rather loving him for being a gentleman.
As Jeannette gets older she realizes that her parents differences are not something to be proud of. She comes to this conclusion at first when she is in the hospital after getting severe burns from her mother letting her cook hot dogs at the age of three. She realizes that it is not right for a parent to let their three year old to be cooking. Another example of when she realized that is when she had to eat food from a garbage can at school while all the others had brought food from home. She decided to hide her shame by eating the food from the garbage can inside the girls washroom. As Jeannette gets older she changes a little bit more by her perspective of things when she meets Billy. Billy is a juvenile delinquent that also has a father for a drunk. When Billy laughs at his own father when he was sleeping from drinking so much the night before, Jeannette argues with him saying that no one should make fun of their own father. Billy
The unfortunate death of John Wright was a mystery to all. A team of individuals consisting of the sheriff, county attorney, Mr. Hale, and Mrs. Peters were on a mission to find the purpose of the murderer. At this point, Mrs. Wright is the primary suspect. Mrs. Hale was asked to join the party in order to give Mrs. Peters, the sheriff s wife, some companionship. In the story, Mrs. Hale leaves cues of guilty feelings. As an example, the narrator states, Martha Hale had a moment of feeling that she could not cross that threshold. The reason being given that she had been too busy to come by but now she could come (Glaspell 2). Another instance to be noted is a conversation between her and the young attorney. During this conversation, he asked if they were friends since they were neighbors. Her answer was sympathetic, I’ve seen little enough of her late years. I ve not been it this house-it s been morethan a year. Then she goes on to explain, I liked her well enough. Farmers wives have their hands full, it never seemed a very cheerful place (Glaspell 6). At this point, Mrs. Hale s empathy toward Mrs. Wright is apparent.

In this group of authors, the writers use their own unique personalities. They added into their writing the parts of their lives that has influenced them the most. Grouping the authors together hardly seems relevant, at least not all of them. Kate Chopin, Mary E. Wilkins-Freeman, Robert Frost, and Edwin Arlington Robinson all experienced death within his or her personal lives. Whether it was his or her parents or his or her spouse, this in some ways, showed in their writings.
“I guess you must have needed a lot of it, [understanding], in your family, Maggie, with your father’s liquor problem and now you’ve got Brick with his!” (Williams 152). Mae’s major goal in using Maggie as her verbal punching bag is to get the rights to Big Daddy’s property. With Brick practically incapacitated, Maggie is the only threat to attaining that goal. Thus, resulting in Mae laying on harsh words to make herself more stable or, in her mind, favored. “She’s childless because that big beautiful athlete husband of her’s won’t go to bed with her!” Mae exclaims, quite proud of herself (156). But Maggie does not stoop to Mae’s level, and, using Brick as her crutch, manages to obtain the rights to the property. Maggie claims to be pregnant, which is, ultimately, what ends up winning her the plantation, but Mae refuses to lose with dignity. “Of course we know what this is-- a lie!” (169). Maggie managed to overcome being Mae’s crutch by learning to do something for herself, though in this case, it was quite

Fenstad’s mother, Clara, is a character quite opposite from her son. She is older and does not get out of her house much. She used to be very active in politics and loves to be around people. She has a kindness and generosity that instantly attracts other people. When she begins to visit Fenstad’s logic class, the students seem to be more interested in what she has to say than in what Fenstad is trying to teach. Mrs. Fenstad is aware and understands her own magnetism and tries not to take too much attention away from her son.

Throughout each scene, Widow Quin has complex actions and words that are often seen as sympathetic and humane. After seeing Old Mahon while he was looking for Christy, Widow Quin invites him to “Sit down then by the fire and take your ease for a space. You’ve a right to be destroyed indeed,” (p. 57). Because of Old Mahon’s frightening state as he walks into the village, Widow Quin encourages him to rest, manifesting a sympathetic and thoughtful demonstration as she shows concerns for Mahon. Although this does show Widow Quin’s concern for Mahon, she ultimately did this for selfish gain to understand more about Christy and further her relationship with him. Although Widow Quin demonstrates what could be seen as sympathetic, it ultimately has a selfish objective for personal gain. Later on in the scene, Widow Quin tells Mahon “You’d best take the road to Belmullet, and not be dilly-dallying in this place where there isn’t a spot you could sleep” (p. 59). Again, Widow Quin shows sympathy and compassion as she helps Mahone by offering him suggestions about how to find Christy. By helping Mahon, Widow Quin shows her considerate side, again, and displays her helpful attempts to convenience Mahon. Although Widow Quin does show these understanding character traits, much of what she did was for personal gain in order to help her advance her relationship with Christy and undermine Pegeen. Widow Quin’s obvious displays of sympathy and humanity are clear to the audience and display her false compassion and understanding; however all of her demonstrations were insincere and illustrated her underlying manipulative behavior in order for her to proceed with her goal to form a relationship with
