Throughout the course of this novel, many relationships are revealed and some had a tremendous impact on the book’s storyline. The two sisters, Nettie and Celie, exhibit a mother daughter relationship, which is completely broken apart when Mr. takes control of the situation by separating the two and concealing the letters that were the last chance for the girls to stay connected. Mr. and Celie’s relationship displays a soft spoken young girl, who lacked much self-confidence, fearing her husband, who was much older than she, because of his abusive behavior. The relationship between Celie and Shug, which in my opinion is the most dynamic relationship in the novel, sets the tone through the love and compassion the two share, and it is used as the kick

Do you know that only 1.6% of college football players make it to the NFL? Less than 1% make it to the NBA, and only 10.5% make it to the MBL.

This thriller novel, The Returners wrote by Gemma Malley is an action-packed novel. Filled with unexpected twists and turns. The narration that takes place in this book is different than other young adult books like “The Hunger Games.” In the novel The Returners the author reveals Will Hodges, inner dialogues to the readers. For example the narrator guides us on what’s happening in his dreams. Whereas in The Hunger Games we don't get as much information on what’s going on through the character's mind. Without knowing the characters inner dialogues in this book it would cause confusion to the audience . Also many of the characters inner thoughts are expressed well. For instance, on the cover page, it says “A past life doesn’t mean a good one.” After reading this sentence we can tell this book has something to do with the past and the feelings some characters will go through.

A huge obstacle that women only in the near past have been able to conquer is their status in society. Women today have the freedom to take up any profession they desire, attend any school they desire, and most importantly marry anyone they desire. In the 16th-18th centuries, the time of the Renaissance, rebirth, and discovery of grand new worlds, women possessed the status of children in many ways; women were considered minors dependent on their fathers until marriage when that dependency transferred to their husbands. They could not own land, they could not be educated, and they most importantly could not marry whom they chose. The poor could possibly marry for love, but the new wealthy merchant class and the

"I imagine every man this side of Vegas would love to try. You're not exactly unattractive, however I'm glad to hear you apparently have taste" Duane smiled as he shot her the compliment, and alluded to himself. The woman had approached him, and the conversation had quickly turned sexual; the undercurrent of their words left that in no doubt; but it was in a flirting and teasing manner, almost a competition as Duane saw it, and to be spoken to so boldly was something he was unsued to. The women back East had either been prudes or hussies, and hadn't dared reciprocate to his humour and wordplay with their own, or had just lacked the wit an intelligence to do so. No matter how good they were in the sack, he'd quickly become bored of them.

Analyse how a relationship was destructive or supportive within a visual text, for a particular purpose.

It's been several weeks since I met Julia and started dating her, and I can´t still believe that she shares my ideas of opposing the party, she is so amazing, she is… she is… the best thing that could happen to me.

Monogamy was a word she hadn’t heard. She hadn’t been old enough to learn the old rules concerning relationships. Though she did know, some women got jealous. Jealousy was nothing to her; the world with its empty cities had everything. There was nothing you couldn’t get if you searched hard enough… except companionship. But Gypsy had never wanted that anyway… Cassie

In Katherine Mansfield’s “Miss Brill,” a lonely elderly lady goes to the park every Sunday to listen to other people’s conversations and temporarily live in their lives, which creates an inner conflict after Miss Brill overhears a young couple speaking ill of her. To avoid this confrontation, Miss Brill repositions her feelings and the negative comments onto other objects, such as the woman in the ermine toque or her fur, thus enabling her to continue living in her deluded fantasies without actually addressing her problems or seeking a solution. Miss Brill lives by herself and has only her fur as her companionship. When she pulls it out of the box, she “rub[s] the life back into the dim little eyes” (175). This is already an indication that

“You’ll be okay as long as I’m here,” I reassured her. She smiled her perfect smile, and I thanked the darkness for concealing my heated face. As light from the television illuminated the room, I studied Evelyn’s face, which was sallow in the white glow. Her eyes were squinted in concentration, as if she were determined not to be afraid this time. I’d never noticed how long her nose was until now. It was actually kind of cute, the way it protruded at the tip just a little. Stop thinking like that, I scolded myself. I’ll get hurt anyway. She probably has a boyfriend. Have we ever talked about stuff like boys?
