Before Lana Monologue Analysis
CHARLES
Can’t things remain the same? Can’t we continue as before, Lana?

LANA
Of course not. I don’t wish to be referred to as your mistress…far from it…I want to be your new wife, when the old one no longer fulfils her role. Besides, it’s not me, you should ask for the reasons to Edward’s suicide, but instead Deborah. She knows more than she’s letting on.

CHARLES
How can it be? My wife wasn’t there. When you yourself were there an hour or two before the violent incident. Anyhow, I have more reasons to ask that of you, Lana.

LANA
Goddamn it, I told you everything. There’s nothing more to say…without resorting to blatant lies for which I’m not capable of doing. Go ahead and ask me if you dare!

CHARLES
Wait just one moment, there’s a knock

    One could argue that the love Maria is shown to feel for Sir Toby could cause her sudden rebellion, but her actions as a mother figure and how she is continuously being separated from Sir Toby and Sir Andrew even when Maria is added into scenes she was not originally present for conflict with this statement because Maria is put into a serving position that could explain her actions instead of love.

    Florence Kelley, in her speech delivered to the National American Woman Suffrage Association in 1905, implies that women’s suffrage and other problems at the time, such as child labor, go hand in hand. Kelley’s purpose is to emphasize that if women’s suffrage is gained, it could be the bridge to solving many other problems in America. She adopts a blunt and sarcastic tone in order to appeal to the emotions and guilt of the women of the 1900’s.…

    “Kenbe fem Jennifer pa lage. ” Five words in Creole I heard for the first time at the crack of dawn in the East Harlem Projects. I looked over my shoulder to see if my uncle or aunt were there but I noticed my grandfather leaning against the wall with his cane, next to a picture of his hometown. He looked up at me and winked.

    In episode twelve, Kimmy finally sets out to make sure her captor goes to prison for his crimes. She goes to trial and confronts the man who kept her locked in a bunker for fifteen years, Reverend Richard Wayne Gary Wayne. The episodes about the trial seem to be attempting to criticize the way our justice system believes (or rather does not believe) women. When we watch the Reverend manipulate everyone in the courtroom, including the prosecutors, it seems insane how easily he did it — surely that could never work in real life — yet, that is the reality that we face. The final episodes, which feature Tina Fey as an incompetent prosecutor, are essentially satirizing the justice system’s imbalance and ineptitude at securing rape convictions.…

The effectiveness of Anne-Marie’s behavioral intervention is occurring at a time when such an intervention was still considered by some as “morally reprehensible” (pg. 149) with the general consensus being that “Autistic children do not recover”. Yet here, after an eight-month period, Anne-Marie is able to empirically demonstrate with the Vineland test that she is functioning within normal developmental ranges for her age group with a 90% confidence interval.…

    Today Jeanne Bishop gave a talk about how she made peace with the man who killed her sister. Throughout this presentation Jeanne talked about how forgiving him was for her and that she wanted to let go and let God take control of the situation. She also said how eventually she made the first move and wrote him an apology letter while he was in prison, for telling everyone but him that she had forgiven him.
