Jill Should Be Happier
Jill should be happier now that she realizes that she is not able to control every situation. It is possible she will not even attempt to influence every single thing she goes through, which would end in less stress for herself. In conclusion she would have a happier life.
Before Allen and his mother showed up at the pancake house, it was insane. Jill was always running from table to table trying to please every single person in the building, which would not have been possible with the limited number of waitresses. (Lines 167-170) Once Allen and his mother showed up and offered to lend a hand, it was clear to Jill she was not able to control everything.(Lines 327-336) That was a clear example that a person would be happier if they realized

    A Loving Mama in "Everyday Use"

    The first paragraph of the story tells us that the mother loved her daughters very much. She prepared everything such as making the yard so clean just to wait for her daughter to come. Therefore, we can say that the mother is a loving mother. In the paragraph number four, the mother tells the readers that she dreamed a dream that one day she and her daughter Dee brought together on a TV show and her daughter would tell the world how she was proud of her mother. The paragraph can tell us that the mother was only proud of Dee, not Maggie. She only dreamed that Dee would say something great about her, she didn’t mention anything about Maggie. So, one of the character of the mother was partial. The paragraph thirteen tells us that the mother was a poor and uneducated woman.…

    Another quote I found interesting was when the mom said “The edges of the grass are turning brown and poor peter (rabbit) is gasping in the heat, but you’re cool and fresh and dancing. This quote is showing the minor responsibilities like looking after a rabbit comes last often when we have “boyfriends” and “friends” That we always tend to put first rather than care for the one that need us the…

    Phil Goodman And His Family: Phil's Relationship With His Family

    Phil’s relationship with his family is another place where Goodman uses rhetorical devices to place heavy fault on him. The image created as she writes about his eldest son “researching his father” by scouring the neighborhood talks of the distance in their relationship. Their family dynamic is obviously strangly skewed from what would normally be expected in a household. Seeing as the children’s relationship with their mother is intact, Goodman must be trying to communicate with the audience that Phil is to be held accountable. Another image of Phil’s faults are created as Goodman talks about the dynamic within Phil’s marriage, stating that his wife stopped believing she was more important than his work years ago, “when the children were small.”…

In “I Stand Here Ironing”, Emily’s mother was always working and never had time to love her or see her grow up.

    Florence Kelley rhetorical anylasis

    In paragraphs eight and nine, Kelley directly addresses mothers and women of all kind with rhetorical questions. Without expecting an answer Kelley asks, "...if mothers in New Jersey were enfranchised?", meaning that if women had the right to vote would the change the conditions of child labor. Since the audience is made up mainly of women, some whom may be married, they have an automatic motherly instinct towards children. Those who may be married are more likely to go home and persuade to their husbands to vote for the necessity of child labor laws.…

    Rebellion In Pleasantville

    If these customs were challenged everything seemed to fall apart. Prior to David and Jennifer arriving, Betty Parker was a picture perfect house wife. When things in Pleasantville began to change Betty refused to cave in to the changing society and stuck with her, and her husbands, beliefs. However, not everything remained pleasant. Betty knew that it was terrible to go against the Pleasantville customs, but something inside her was telling her to change. Firstly, Betty was introduced to many new concepts from Jennifer such as sleeping in one bed, intercourse, and how to please herself. As Betty put her newly learnt knowledge to the test she began to see colour and a tree instantaneously burst into flames. The fire symbolized that this was just the start of something big and that there was much change, along with conflicts, to come. Spectators observed the fire in awe and no one really knew what was going on. This was the first time that something imperfect had happened in the town. Secondly, Betty forgot to cook dinner for her husband one night. “Where’s my dinner?”, was a phrase that caused panic in the community. Betty’s husband looked everywhere for his wife, but Betty was no where to be seen. The imagine of the perfect wife was shattered in Mr. Parker’s eyes when his wife left the house the next day…

    The third point is obvious; she’s not thrilled with her man right now. If it was up to her, she wouldn’t be only burning his food, but him as well. “If she wants to grill anything, it’s her husband spitted over a slow fire, if she wants to serve him anything, it’s a dead rat with a bomb in its belly ticking like the heart of an insomniac (Piercy 1241)”. This woman is having some terrible thinking at this point.…

    Symbolism In American Beauty

    Happiness is the result of love. Lester pursues his own happiness by paying close attention to what he enjoys, his desires and ignores the alarming voice of his wife who embodies what society dictates is the right way or appropriate way to live life. Lester finds happiness in the things that are considered frowned upon by society like for example, smoking marijuana or pursuing a fifteen year old girl, who to top it off is his daughter’s best friend. He even decides to buy an old, ugly looking car and applies for a job at a fast food restaurant. Carolyn on the other hand does not agree with the rebirth of Lester. At this point it is blatantly clear that Lester and Carolyn’s definition of happiness is completely different. Carolyn’s happiness…

    Jill

    It was Dill’s last night with us this summer, Dill noticed Mr. Avery on his front porch. Dill and I said to Scout that we were going to peep in the Radley’s window to see if we could get a look at Boo. We said that if Scout didn’t want to go with us, then Scout could go straight home and keep her mouth shut about it. I said, “Scout, I’m telling you for the last time, shut your trap or go home – I declare to the Lord you’re gettin’ more like a girl every day!” So, Scout joined us. We snuck under a barbed wire fence. We had to be very quiet, and Scout was very nervous! Dill looked in the window, but he didn’t see anything. So we went around the back and I crept across the porch and peeked into a window. Scout noticed the shadow. It was the shadow of a man with a hat on, and it was moving towards me! Dill noticed it too, and then I noticed it last. We were scared. The shadow stopped about a foot beyond me. Then it turned and moved back across me, walked along the porch and off the side of the house, returning as it had come. We all ran! We ran to the gate, and as we ran through the collards, Scout tripped. Then Scout heard the roar of a shotgun! We all ran toward the barbed wire fence, but I got caught in it as I tried to go under. My pants were caught and I couldn’t get them free, so I kicked my pants off and started running in my underwear. After resting for a minute, we realized that because of the shotgun noise, the whole neighborhood was standing around in the Radley’s front yard to see what was going on. We realized that we had better show up or else people might start to realize that it was us sneaking around in their yard! When we got there we saw Mr. Nathan Radley standing with a shotgun by his side. Atticus was there, and Miss Maudie, Miss Stephanie Crawford, Miss Rachel, and Mr. Avery. “What happened,” I asked, as if I didn’t know. Miss Stephanie had just noticed me standing there without any pants on. Dill spoke up quickly. He…
