Later in the novel, Fanny enters her room, called the East Room, and is surprised to see Edmund seated at her desk. Edmund has come to give Fanny a handmade chain to hold her brother’s cross pendant. It is essential that this exchange occurs in the East Room because the secluded space permits the plot to advance without disruptions. If it were to take place in any other area of the house, there would be a risk of nosy spectators observing the scene. For example, if Mrs. Norris were around when the chain is given to Fanny, she would be furious. She would scold Edmund for giving Fanny such a nice gift and make Fanny feel bad by degrading her and commanding her to be grateful. Fanny’s remote room keeps the interaction as a secret between Fanny

Edna slowly disrobes and she observes the magnificence of her arms for the first time, and her senses are stimulated by the freshness of the sites and people around her, soon falling into slumber.

Because of that, you are now free. You can date who you wish to date and not be tied down to anyone's younger sister. You saved yourself without even knowing that you did." Pun and Jill gasped as they saw Fanny screaming and crying as she was being tied up by the Rejects. Harry saw it happening and although he kind of felt sorry for the girl (due to her love for Larry Dobber), she was a crazy girl who needed help and was surely getting what she deserved.
Her friends see the gifts Mr. Pontellier gives Edna and assumes he is perfect, but they don’t know what goes on behind closed doors.
After Mr. Pontellier returns from a business trip, Edna after spending the day with Robert says that she is feeling an “indescribable oppression” towards her husband. Mr. Pontellier treats Edna as an object. In the book it says that Mr. Pontellier “looked at his wife as one looks
The consequences of Charlotte’s change in behaviour weigh heavily on her mind. Miss Hancock is killed, and Charlotte is left in emotional distress as she feels guilty for her death. It is because of how Charlotte now treats Miss Hancock, that she feels guilt. Charlotte feels that she “could have said something. Like thank you for grade 7.” (6) Charlotte feels that a comment such as this would have left Miss Hancock feeling welcomed and loved again. But it is because of the pressures of the classroom that results in Charlotte avoiding speaking kindly of Miss Hancock. As a comment such as this could have definitely turned her into a target of the class as well. Additionally, Charlotte is left in emotional distress after Miss Hancock’s death. Charlotte “stayed home…[and] kept having periods of uncontrollable weeping.” (6) This is a result of Charlotte’s love for Miss Hancock, and her inability to be there for Miss Hancock when she needed her most because of how she was being treated. The social environment of the class prevented Charlotte from indulging in Miss Hancock’s glitzy teaching methods. Her behaviour was forced in to change at that time, because of the hostile environment that her
Rachelle, an old best friend of Melinda’s, is someone Melinda talks to numerous times through the form of notes over the course of Speak. Once Melinda becomes aware that Rachelle is dating Andy Evans, Melinda’s assaulter, she finds it very difficult to confront Rachelle and finds using notes is more effective. Melinda is first seen doing this when she writes a short note and tapes it to Rachelle’s locker. In the letter, she warns her about Andy saying, “Andy Evans will use you. He is not what he pretends to be,” hoping Rachelle will indeed listen to her and leave Evans. In spite of the warning, Rachelle decides to ignore Melinda’s first cautioning thus resulting in Melinda having to find another way. The second time Melinda goes a little more public with her note when she writes it on the side of a bathroom stall. Taking a marker, Melinda writes, “Guys to Stay Away From: Andy Evans,” trying again to further convince Rachelle that Andy is not a good guy. Once again Rachelle decides to ignore the anonymous letters left around and Melinda in a final attempt writes a note Rachelle is sure to listen to. During study hall in the library, Melinda and Rachelle start talking back and forth by passing notes. Melinda eventually builds up enough courage to tell Rachelle what Andy Evans actually did to her, explaining the whole night of the party. This is an
For instance, shortly after Barb blames Janice for their mother’s death, Janice breaks her “prim and proper” (74) attitude and punches Barb in the face as she spills her feelings about their mother: “I grew up wanting to hate this woman, thinking my whole life was her fault… I was all prepared to dislike and pity some old Indian woman that lost me because of alcohol. Instead I find this wonderful, sweet, caring woman… I started to care, Barb, but I didn’t want to care” (101). Furthermore, at the end of the play, Janice finally accepts the fact that Anne is her mother that loved her which can be seen through Janice’s final words in the play to her mother’s grave: “Co-waabmen, Mom, from you daughter, Grace”
Her husband John, a physician, is dismissive of her feelings and puts her on a rest cure as he believes she is suffering from “temporary nervous depression.” The couple spend the summer in a rented mansion where the narrator is forced to stay in a nursery-turned-bedroom she absolutely despises. The narrator describes in detail the torn yellow wallpaper, barred windows, and the bed bolted to the floor. It reminds one of two things, a child's room and a prison cell. It seems that her husband does not trust her enough to take care of herself, so he treats her like a child.
She immediately senses Edmund’s jealousy and utilizes it to entrap the other three children. She offers Edmund anything he wants, he asks for Turkish delights, which she in turn delivers. She then tells him that he could be king and his siblings will be his servants, which is extremely appealing to Edmund. Edmund agrees to deliver his siblings and thus betrays them for worldly desires. “Edmund’s greed gets the better of his judgment; Proverbs 23: 1-3 cautions, when you sit to dine with a ruler, note well what is before you, and put a knife to your throat if you are given to gluttony. Do not crave his delicacies, for that food is deceptive” (Ditchfield 51).
She claims that “John laughs at me, of course, but one expects that in marriage.” She believes that it is natural in a marriage for the husband to laugh at his wife, leading her to believe that, if she really wants to be of use to her husband, she should keep her emotions and opinions to herself. Bottling up her emotions was, in her eyes, the only way to make her
In Lord of the Flies, William Golding shows the evolution of savagery on the island by starting the book with the boys being innocent school boys, but in the middle the boys start to become violent and show signs of savagery. Towards the end, savagery takes over the whole island. Golding has the boys represent innocence at the beginning of the book, savagery and innocence in the middle, and savagery at the end to show the important theme of savagery.
Previous literature regarding young adults aging out of the foster care system when achieving age-defined adulthood imply that these teens lack the support, skills, and resources that are necessary for a healthy, dynamic, independent adulthood. There has been a study done that includes Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs explaining why some of these teens fail after leaving foster care. This study focuses on two crucial issues; relationship development and unhealthy attachments. It focuses on these two issues because positive early relationships greatly influence a child’s ability to later achieve success in school and in life. (Michigan Department of Community Health, 2003).
She realises that she has been living with a stranger, since the whole marriage is a charade to fulfil the expectations of Victorian society.
In Chapter 8, Madame Ratignolle pulls Robert aside and asks him to leave Edna alone. She explains that Edna,” Is not one of us; she is not like us. She might make the unfortunate blunder of taking you seriously.” Chopin’s use of repetition in Adele’s dialogue puts emphasis on Edna’s uniqueness and labels her as an outcast. Adele sees Edna drifting further and further away from the social norms of their accustomed society and wishes to stop her before its too late. Chopin also uses this scene to foreshadow Robert’s unwillingness to commit to Edna as he brushes off Madame Ratignolle’s warning, seeing his relationship with Edna as a fling rather than being the passionate lover Edna craves.
