Winnie feels as though the family she meets in the forested areas are all the more a family then her genuine birth guardians. In the beginning the story, they offer her water that could drink to make her live-until the end of time. Rather she gives an amphibian a chance to drink the water so that in the event that anyone attempted to hurt him he would live until the end of time. This give up was truly educational in light of the fact that as opposed to needing to live everlastingly, she surrenders it to a creature. She winds up thinking about existence and demise, and whether everlasting life is justified regardless of the danger of unceasing
It teaches us not to live in the past because no matter good or bad you will not progress in any degree of life. Wendy still lives in the nursery where everything took place, she will not give it up. For instance, she goes against independence because throughout the production she does nothing for herself, all of her actions are directed by the past and what Peter had done. Wendy has been helplessly unable to do things for herself emotionally and as a person in the real world, this causing her much grief with who she is. This forcing tension between her mother and herself, as well as any hopes of a happy future with herself or anyone else.

Her views on him had changed by a margin but she continued to admire him. However, this all changed when Lizzie, Winnifred's younger sister, got sick. Lizzie, being young, she happened to admire Zachary a lot. Zachary would lighten up her day, “she was forever looking for him to ride by her hospital room.” He had only gone to visit her once. Zachary’s act of selfishness had made him look worse in Winifred's eyes, especially when he did not go to visit Lizzie while she was in critical condition. Only coming to visit moments after she had passed away. This resulted in Winniefred removing the halo she saw on top of his head. He was no longer the person she had loved and admired for most of her life. In addition to that, Winnifred was not really happy that he showed up at that time, fleeing “to the hospital washroom and was sick into the basin.” All the irresponsible actions by Zachary caused Winnifred to not admire him anymore.
The film and novel of To Kill a Mockingbird complement each other in many ways due to their similarities, but the book can accomplish things that the movie can’t due to it’s ability to tell. The book is written in a narrated voice, making it hard to tell the entire story through a film. The thoughts and feelings of the characters can’t always be felt and understanded through a film because of its limited time allotted, but through a book you are able to know and interpret everything. There are missing parts of the plot, along with many other differences of the story because of this. While the book is very similar to the movie and vis versa, there are many differences.
The mother is a complex creature proven throughout the story. These actions all help express why mothers and their presence are so important. As shown, they are very crucial in the development of younger beings. The mother is a helper by nature, impacting by teaching its child to survive at life. Independence is the arch lesson that is taught by the mother. Harlow enduringly grasps the cardinal meaning of why it is inhumane to destroy any kind of maternal bond. Mothers are not people to depend on, but are people to make depending not
Winnie's next hardship came when she was forced to live with her aunt, uncle, and spoiled cousins. Winnie felt unwanted and unloved. Winnie is older than her cousin Peanut, but because she is a "bad" child, soiled by her mother's bad name, she is looked down on. When she became the right age, the family gave her to the family of Wen Fu, who was to become her new husband. At first, Wen Fu was loving and gentle. But as time went on, he became increasingly aggressive with Winnie. The first example of this is shortly after their new union, when they are in bed together. Winnie tells Pearl that Wen Fu was "kissing my nose, my cheeks and shoulders, telling me how beautiful I was, how happy I made him." Within the next ten minutes, Wen Fu has turned into a tyrant. "He whispered for me to say dirty words, words for women's body parts--not any woman's body parts....the kind (of woman) who would give her body to foreign sailors." From this point on, Wen Fu's abuse becomes more extensive and frequent.

She longs for a little bit of independence and deeply desires some alone time or simply something to divert her parents' attention from her for a bit. I chose a puppy to represent Winnie’s character in the beginning, because they have so many similarities. Puppies are curious and want to explore, but usually they are just trapped in houses. They don’t get to explore the world, or even sometimes the whole small area around them. Winnie wants to do that so bad, she wants to explore the woods she owns, but she doesn’t get to unless her parents let her.
Winnie would probably help someone who is in danger, like how she saved the toad from a dog. She also helped bust Mae Tuck out of jail since it she stated that it was all her fault, and she took Mae’s place in the jail. When Winnie
This isn’t to say that she never was depressed or disheartened. Naturally, she was deeply affected when the police killed the white man that attempted to help Winnie to get a job. This event was very reflective of Winnie’s true heart. She grieved more for the loss of a compassionate act given from a white stranger than she did from the harassment she received at the hand of the corrupt police. I believe it was this event that made Winnie become “hard” and do questionable
