Mildred Pierce, by James M. Cain, begins in pre-Depression California, and ends during World War II times, also in California. The main character, Mildred Pierce, is a very attractive housewife of 29, raising two daughters, Ray and Veda. Although Mildred loves both her daughters, Veda is a particular obsession with Mildred. She constantly slaves away throughout the novel to do whatever she can to make Veda happy, despite the constant abuse and deception Veda inflicts upon Mildred. After a divorce from her first husband, Bert, in the opening pages of the novel, Mildred is forced to sacrifice her pride and become a waitress in order to support her family. If Veda were ever to find out, she would be appalled; a constantly recurring theme throughout this story is Veda’s pride and arrogance, and her condemnation of jobs she deems to be menial. Mildred’s main goal is to nurture Veda’s musical talents, and manages to pay for expensive music lessons from her meager salaries as a waitress and pie baker. However, Mildred’s luck is soon to change, as she takes up with an attorney and former partner of Bert, Wally. Mildred is able to use Wally’s business and real estate savvy to build a restaurant out of a deserted model home, and from there create a thriving chain of three food businesses. After becoming bored with Wally, however, Mildred craves a relationship with another man, a prestigious local man named Monty. Veda highly approves of her mother’s choice, as this makes her feel as if she too were more prestigious and affluent, despite having misgivings about her mother still being so low as to have an average, pedestrian job. All seems to be going well; even through Veda’s constant demands and tantrums, she still gets everything she wants, and Mildred and Monty are happy. Monty, however, falls on hard times with the coming of the Great Depression, and he constantly mooches off of Mildred’s affluence, making it a struggle for Mildred to cater to Veda’s every whim. Mildred soon dumps Monty to focus on making Veda a musical prodigy; this fails, however, when Veda is told that her piano is not up to par from a local famous music teacher. After Veda recovers from this shock, she explores the opportunities offered by an acting career, and begins to spin more webs of deception and selfishness. After Veda forces money out of a local rich family, lying and claiming their son got her pregnant, Mildred and Veda have a major argument, and Veda disowns her mother.
Black feminist, Anna Julia Cooper advocated civil rights, education and equality between man and woman. She believed that with self determination and education anything is possible. Cooper also believed that blacks have the ability to reach their goals. Cooper was born through enslavement but educated society on the harsh reality of a black woman’s struggle. With her book, “A voice from the South by a Black Woman of the South”, Cooper gives insight of her beliefs. Many of which I believe in. With an unpromising beginning Cooper became a scholar and developed as one of the most notable black scholars in history.
The movie Little Miss Sunshine is centered on the Hoover Family which is one of the most entertaining, dysfunctional families to watch unfold and then in the end embrace each other’s wide range of personality types. The first character is Sheryl Hoover, the mother that is clearly the backbone of the family and the sole bread winner. Similarly, her daughter Olive Hoover, is the optimist, goal-oriented, and hopeful dynamic in the group. On the other hand, the father Richard Hoover is the pushy, demanding, selfish, hard-headed one in the family that continually is pushing his “brilliant” agenda down everyone’s throats to reassure himself that his book deal is not going down the toilet. Another key character is Frank Ginsberg, Sheryl’s brother that is an Ivy League, homosexual scholar that was recently released into the Hoover’s family custody after his attempted suicide that is clearly internally struggling with the loss of his profession and graduate student boyfriend, but continues to maintain a smile throughout the movie. Likewise, Sheryl’s son from her first marriage Dwayne Hoover is introduced during a period of devotion to becoming a military pilot that refuses to talk to strengthen his chances if he is ever taken hostage, but dramatically is let down by the discovery of his color blindness and loss of everything he has worked for.
Jane Austen's characters are extraordinary. Vividly painted, complete with personal eccentricities and short-comings, they make the reader laugh over the foibles of humanity. One of Austen's most memorable characters is Mrs. Elton, who could be considered the antagonist of Emma. The reader's very first introduction to this character invokes a strong feeling of dislike mingled with amusement. This strong reader reaction is the result of a carefully structured build-up to Mrs. Elton's introduction. Austen shapes this reader reaction first though the subjective opinions of others, specifically, the praises of Mr. Elton and the criticisms of Emma. Then, after building this foundation, Austen introduces the reader to Mrs. Elton through an objectively recorded conversation that cements the reader's opinion that Mrs. Elton is a snobbish, self-centred woman.

“Suzy and Leah” by Jane Yolen is about two girls who learn an important lesson about relationships. The girls judged each other based off of one meeting. Suzy, an American girl, disliked Leah, a German refugee, because she saw Leah as a “prickly porcupine”. Even though Suzy didn’t really know who Leah was in private, she still thought and wrote rude things about her. The abhor Suzy felt for Leah was neutral. Where Suzy found Leah to be uptight and standoffish, Leah thought of Suzy as a fake, snotty American girl “... the girl with the yellow hair who smiles so falsely at me.” Although neither of the girls took the time or effort to actually find out what kind of person each was, they still made judgements of one another.
In "Miss Brill," by Katherine Mansfield, Sundays are a magical day for Miss Brill until she is forced to step out of her daydream and face reality. Every Sunday Miss Brill, a shy English school teacher, goes to the Public Gardens and takes her "special seat" to look forward to listening to the conversations of others.. This lonely older woman has become quite the expert on eavesdropping. Miss Brill starts to view everything she observes on Sundays in the form of a beautifully choreographed theatrical performance in which everything, herself included, plays a role. This is a place where she feels as though she"belongs." One Sunday her fantasy is shattered by the inconsiderate and harsh remarks of a young couple. Mansfield shows us how hurtful the truth can be to people who haven't realized or accepted the reality in which they live.

Traig's descriptions of junior high food issues, family embarrassment, and faculty clique politics elicit her main idea to readers sharing this frame of reference. She even illustrates her early theory of obsessive-compulsive disorder in terms anybody can recognize: She compares it to television witches Jeannie, Samantha, and Sabrina, whose tics and twitches "could resolve any problem."

Her last name starts with the letter G, too; therefore, through the years, our seats were always adjacent which was something I initially detested. You see, she has been my rival since first grade. We were always the two competing in math and spelling. This was so until the sixth grade. The sweet rivalry arose again in seventh grade when she was among the few selected for advanced band immediately after beginning band. It was saddening that I wasn't among the chosen, but I instead worked to make myself principal saxophonist and hoped to be moved
