Eulogy For Husband
The main thing that I dislike about this story is Joe tossing money through the house at Missy May like she is a hungry dog waiting for him to come, and the presents that he has for her in his pockets are like dog treats something that you would have for a dog that is jumping around you that’s glad that you are home. This story is so condescending for women. However, in 1933 women were to be the homemakers of humanity and that was their mentality, cooking, cleaning, and making themselves look beautiful for their husband. Nonetheless, I think that Joe got just what he deserved. He is the one that brought another person into their relationship, if he had of had a man crush on Slemmons none of this would have

    Josephs neighbour, Mrs. Mossop, is the towns source of gossip and ‘there was very little that she didn’t know about [the] neighbourhood’. In the text Mrs. Mossop is perceived by majority of Ashgrove Avenue’s residence, as a busy body who is always getting her ‘beak into everything fossicking around for juicy snippets of gossip.’ However we discover later on in the novel when Mrs. Mossop is trying to warn Joseph of the dangers of Mr Layton, that she was sexually abused as a young girl.

    Their Eyes Were Watching God Literary Analysis

    In this time period women were expected to stay inside of the house, and complete feminine duties. In her first marriage with Logan Killicks, she was expected to cook and help around the house. This marriage was not in line with the vision of marriage that she had recently had as a young teenager. When Janie ran off with her second husband, Joe Starks, she was promised the world.. After Joe became mayor of Eatonville, Janie quickly realized that he was changing. Joe began to notice that the men of the town payed close attention to Janie. He went as far as giving her orders of how she was to wear her hair after another man admired it, “Her hair was NOT going to show in the store...That night he ordered Janie to tie up her hair around the store” (Hurston 55). Janie also enjoyed listening to the men talk on the porch and watching them play games, but anytime that she tried to participate she would be chastised by Joe and even beaten. This conflict benefitted Janie in the end because it caused her to be more cautious when she had thoughts of another relationship. Her vision of what was ideal to her came into direct conflict of what was real, but eventually allowed her to find happiness and contentment in the…

    Mrs. Mallard Eulogy

    Hello and thank you all for coming. Today we are gathered to mourn the loss of a spectacular individual who stood next to me through the thick and thin, through the good and bad, and has left my heart with a crater big enough to engulf the world, Mrs. Mallard. She was a faithful and devout woman whom I am proud to call my wife. We spent many years together, during which I always tried to make her happy. Yet recently all the memories of her and I have come flooding back to me in tidal waves of emotions, and after consideration I feel I have not done enough. I did not cherish every second of every minute of every hour I was with her and it devastates me at this time, but that’s how it always goes I suppose. But not for her. Mrs. Mallard ensured my life was as simplistic and easy going as she could. Whether it was her loving support, physical labors, or the smiles she would give me which could outshine the moon. She would always know what I needed and would move mountains to make sure I had it. Her affection was so strong that it ultimately caused her passing. After being told I had perished in a mining incident she become so distressed that her heart could not handle the news that I was still alive. She had always had complications with that immense heart of hers, it was her Achilles heel. The one thing which chained her from ascending to the perfect woman, the one trade off which god decided he needed to bestow upon her so she would not take the role of a demi-god. However I know now that she is the most eloquent and beautiful angel heaven has ever seen and they will treasure her in ways I never could. This is the only fact which has kept me sane through this abysmal time. Everyone will now be able to pay their individual respects to Mrs. Mallard, and once again thank you for coming.…

    It is a quiet room filled with people. Most of them have smiles on their faces. Some of them are even about to have a laughter or two. Is it easy to find such a room in a university? Yes.
