Though she shows some vulnerability but most of the time she is very much in control of situation and expects everything to happen as per her wish. She follows strict schedule and expects everyone around her to follow her command. She gives her subordinates no respect and expects them to follow her blindly, sometimes asking having impossible requests expecting them to be fulfilled.

    This is because she is good at holding people accountable. In fact, when she is part of a group which aims at accomplishing a given goal, she does what she is supposed to do to meet her the goal and remind others to complete their tasks on time. For example, if she is part of a group which researching about a given issue, she would work on what she is support to work so as to complete the research and check if the rest of the group has done its part. This makes her excellent. I remember when we were working on a presentation, she was the one who reminded everyone to complete his/her assigned task.

    Allusions In Geek Love

    The allusion to this part of the story occurs once Miranda is born into the world. It begins when Olympia is holding Miranda and examining her after the birth, and she notices nothing until she turns her over, where she sees an extra appendage, a tail. Olympia realizes that she is not the type of baby that Arty would appreciate, perhaps because she is not freakish enough, and this is where the allusion occurs. “She had Arty’s face and I named her Miranda because Miranda’s father loved her.” (Page 312, Geek Love). She obviously gives her this name because she just wants her daughters father to love her as his own, and this comes directly from The Tempest. In that story, Miranda is Duke Prospero’s beautiful daughter who is sheltered from society, and loved dearly by her father. This allusion is easy to pick out. These people are sheltered from society, and Olly just wants Arty to love Miranda as Prospero loved his daughter. However, if you have not read The Tempest, it would almost be impossible for you to pick up…

    Miranda is “Eve of an enchanted Paradise” (Works of W. Shakespeare vol 16), the meaning of innocence, beauty and simplicity. As soon as she meets Ferdinand, she is ready “to place her life, her love, her service beneath his feet” (Works of Shakespeare vol 16), which is opposed to what Fowles’ Miranda is doing. Though both are well educated, beautiful, they have different meanings of what life is about and what they should do in order to achieve fulfilment. Contrary to the cultural background, Fowles’s Miranda is a survivor, a woman who once being captured, learns to love life, while Shakespeare’s Miranda is fragile, always protected by the hardships of life by her loving father. Both Mirandas are imprisoned in a virtual cell, derived their…

    352) From the synopsis above it is obvious that she lacks this skill. I believe that she lacks this ability in part because of the Permissive nature of her parents. Usually parents that are permissive focus too much on their kid’s happiness and completely ignore implementing rules and boundaries in the household (Family Relationships, pg. 414). Due to this loose parenting style the child is never forced to internalize any rules, they are never held accountable for their actions, but most importantly, they never fully be able to self-regulate themselves in an efficient manner. By neglecting to direct Isabella to do one thing, but not another, her parents do not give them either the opportunity or the incentive to internalize control (Influences on Self- Control,…
