How Did Rachel ` S Arrival Changed Lyddie's Attitude Toward Brigid

My first reason that she has family to think of. When Uncle Judah Dropped off Rachel, on page 118, Lyddie now has to take care of Rachel. Lyddie thought that Rachel looked more dead than alive. If she signed the petition she will get less money than if she didn’t.

One of the events in this book was the Boston Tea Party. The Boston Tea Party was the dumping of 342 chests of tea into the Boston Harbor. Rachel and Debby, Sarah’s older sister, believed that Paul was one of the people who dumped the tea, but Paul denied it. Sarah and Debby, Sarah’s older sister, started talking about Rachel. They said that Rachel is really worried for Paul because he could get hurt or even killed. Rachel had already been worried about Paul but she was more worried when he started doing more stuff. This made Rachel unhappy because she doesn’t want anything to happen to

”(113) Lyddie decides that when she’s ready to leave the factory herself she could sign the petition. Rachel,Lyddie’s little sister, has gotten a job at the factory in Lowell.

The factory life did not choose young Lyddie, young Lyddie chose the factory life. The book, Lyddie, written by Katherine Paterson was about the life of a girl from Vermont who faced many struggles and difficult decisions. She made the choice to take on working as a factory girl in Lowell Massachusetts because she thought it would be a better life and a convenient source of income for herself. After a while she learned the factory life was not what she had expected. Near the end of the novel one of her coworkers that had helped Lyddie out a lot at the commence of Lyddie's life as a factory girl, and goes by the name Diana Goss, had started a petition for the girls to have shorter working days at the factory. Lyddie had been faced with the decision whether or not to sign this petition and risk losing everything she has worked so hard for to free herself of such harsh conditions. Lyddie should sign the petition for many reasons, she deserved to be treated equivently with respect to the amount of effort she put into her work, she should have been able to have more time for herself to do the things she was fond of, and the factory life was way too stressful on her, she should not have had to put up with such poor conditions. This

This inner defiance gives evidence to Rachel’s determination and individuality. The sweater now represents a sort of barrier and if she submits herself to it, she fears the world of ages and maturity.

“ , Rachel feels anger towards her father for bringing her, her sisters, and her mother to a place where they could care less to be.

That is nothing is keeping her there until her youngest sister Ruth May dies. Rachel finally realizes this she declares this idea of hers,

Lyddie changes from the beginning to the end because she shoes Independence at the beginning and shows carrying at the end.

Going through tough times made Jeannette’s parents fight each other more often which had an effect on the entire family. “In the morning she slept late and pretended to be sick. It was up to Lori, Brian, and me to get her out of bed and see to it that she was dressed and at school on time” (Walls 74). This is showing how when the family is facing hard times, they stick together and help each other out. Because this family is treated unfairly by society, they go through many struggles.

For example, after Montag escaped from the police and hound, he met up with the “hobos” and realized “My wife, my wife. Poor millie, poor, poor Millie. I can’t remember anything. I think of her hands but I don’t see them doing anything at all”(Bradbury 156). Bradbury makes Mildred a “model wife” where nothing about her is special, and she is exactly the same as any other wife in F451. This leads to Montag forgetting what Mildred was like. The characterization of Mildred indirectly emphasizes Wilde’s point because unlike Montag, Mildred did not rebel or disobey the law therefore, the figure of the wife would remain the same. She demonstrates a devolution of the wife figure. However, if Mildred did stand out, there would be social progression to a more loving, and caring wife, similar to today’s society. As a contradiction, females in history were always seen as inferior to their male counterparts. For so long they lacked the same rights men had since they would rarely rebel for their rights. On 1848, women created a movement to fight for liberty. Because of this, they brought an end to the majority of inequality which is social progression. Furthermore in F451, Bradbury uses Granger to convey his message. As an illustration, when Montag was grieving for his wife, Granger said, “It doesn’t matter what you do,... so long as you change something from the way it was before you touched it into something that’s like you after you take your hands away” (Bradbury 156-157). Bradbury uses Granger to express the theme of change to better society. He tells Montag that doing what society expects from you is not always just and sometimes defiance is necessary. Bradbury’s claim is supported by the American Revolution in history. In late 1700s, the thirteen colonies of Great Britain were forced to pay taxes because Britain was in war debt. This led to rebellion and American

This further impacted the children Rachel and Leah, being the oldest daughters in the family. Rachel was a daughter that loved her father and she at first felt that he was the best person in the world. She would always follow him around and be his little princess, that was until she started to see the bad things that he started doing in the dark, mysterious place they were living in. She started to see how arrogant and defensive he became throughout the community and how he threw hissy fits. She realized that enough was enough and she needed to grow accustomed to this new place by herself, just like the narrator did in the poem. This is because she knew that her dad was just going insane and he wanted too much power. She now felt bad for her mom and what he had done to her, and wanted to side with her mom to get out of the community that they were in because they had enough of it. Another thing that happened in the Congo while she was there was something absurd and scarring to say the least. Her sister had started to hunt with the men for meat and Rachel saw what they did when they killed the poor animals lives. Rachel was so startled and appalled that she had to become a vegetarian for a short time while they were there. This just shows that she had to adapt to a new lifestyle because she could not think of eating a poor animal that had an innocent life, but her sister Leach could have cared

When she was in the barn with Lennie, she began to tell her dream of being a movie actress in Hollywood, with luxurious life, money and respect other people that she currently doesn’t have.

While there are many depictions of thematic tension that demonstrate the allegorical allusion between good and evil within this scene, I will break down two moments that independently argue the significance of Rachel’s character as the manifestation of good, redeeming the negative connotation Christianity has within the story. With the technical elements already dissected, I focus solely on how the scenes operate on a thematic scale. The first moment would be when Rachel joins in with a Preacher for a duet of the song “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms”. While the preacher sings throughout this song from the start
