    Throughout the story the author conveys Connie’s relationships with her immediate family members as being relationships that are dysfunctional, especially the relationship between Connie and her mother. "Why don 't you keep your room clean like your sister? How 've you got your hair fixed—what the hell stinks? Hairspray? You don 't see your sister using that junk." (Oates 1). The constant comparison the mother makes between Connie and her sister June, is symbolic of Connie not yet having an identity of her own. I don’t think her mother is aware of the negative effect that the comparison will ultimately have on Connie, but without a doubt, all the comparison does is make Connie more rebellious and defiant against her mother’s wishes. These comparisons also motivate Connie to quickly become her own person. Connie’s relationship with her father is also portrayed as being a negative relationship. He is explained as the type of father who goes to work every day and comes home to eat and go to sleep. Connie didn 't seem to have a lot of attention from her father, which may have been what was encouraging her to find male attention somewhere else. Does this have an effect on the…

    Connie is so use to the ridicule and criticism, that her natural defense mechanism allows her to ignore the hurtful comments. However, the negative comments sometimes become so overwhelming, that Connie wishes for the demise of her mother and herself. “Connie’s mother kept picking at her until Connie wished her mother was dead and she herself was dead and it was all over.” (2/16) This relationship is clearly unhealthy with the woman that should be her first role model, her mother. It is believed that a daughter’s “first love” is her father, and that every child should have a strong male role model in their life. Contrary to belief, Connie’s father has limited to no influence on her or the household. He is not involved with them and has no interest to be. The story states…

    A constitutional convention is an informal and uncodified procedural agreement that is followed by the institutions of a state. The Constitution of a country comprises both written rules enforced by courts, and "unwritten" rules or principles necessary for constitutional government. Written rules mandate that they be followed in a particular specified situation, and on the other hand unwritten rules come into play when there is no given written rule to cover the situation at hand. Constitutional conventions are said to be rules of political practice, which are regarded as binding by those to whom they apply, but they can't be called exact laws, as they are not enforced by courts or by the Houses of Parliament. Notwithstanding the fact that ours is a detailed Constitution, the Constitution-framers left certain matters to be governed by conventions, thereby giving to the holders of constitutional offices some degree of discretion in respect of such matters.…
