    The Lion's Bride - Gwen Harwood

    Gwen Harwood’s work frequently focuses on woman being demoralised by society’s practices that reduce her to a lesser being. A common worldwide value that Harwood rejects as the normality in life with her poems. Harwood battles against the traditions that she believes support this downgrading by continually returning to the issue. Due to Harwood’s existence in a time where women of Australia still fought to vote and for a pay check to match a man’s, Harwood too displays her support. “The Lions Bride” is centred on the subject of marriage and entails the ugliness of the situations that are specific to women. This remains relevant to the modern world because of the ongoing struggle for equality. By using a wedding as a platform to highlight societies imposed traditions on females she seeks to shock the conventional expectations by demonising the widely romantisied event. Harwood extends this and questions treatment of women in the world before any vows are made.…

    Lily Winchester Case Study Answers

    But in reality they just used her and left her feeling even more unwanted and unloved. When Lily went off to college she became obsessed with her image and began experimenting with Anorexia and Bulimia in order to feel better about herself. She began attending lots of different parties on campus and continued to try and find comfort in men. She ended up in a relationship with a very abusive man who would often beat Lily, talk badly to her, and eventually led to sexual assaults. Lily then became pregnant at 19 as the result of the sexual abuse from her “boyfriend.” When she told him about the pregnancy he beat her up, in what she believes was an attempt to kill the fetus. After this Lily said she knew she needed to get out in order to protect her unborn child. She decided to get away from everything and to take a trip to see her sister in North Carolina, it was then that she met her now husband Dean. She calls it divine intervention, and believes God placed Dean there because he knew she needed him at that moment. They got married after Lily gave birth to her son Maxim, who Dean later…

    Character Analysis Of Dillion And Jazz Luther In The Book 'Define Normal'

    In other words, she sees the looks teachers give her, and it inspires her to do better in her school work and prove to them that her image does not define her personality. Her mother tries to get her to act like the rich kid she is, but the more her mother tries, the more she rejects the idea and rebels. She wears black and dyes her hair unnatural colors to hide where she really comes from, a rich family. She also hides her love for playing piano because she does not want to be classified as a rich kid, but doing so gets classified as a punk or a goth. Antonia, the other main character, is classified as smart or a teacher’s pet, so a teacher’s pet and a punk; that is not usually the types that are best friends. In the beginning of the book, they did not even want to be seen together. By the end of the book , that did not matter anymore because they were proud of each…

    Secret Life of Bees

    Chapter three begins with Lily waking up feeling as if she has spent the night next to Thoreau's Walden Pond. While waiting for Rosaleen to wake up, Lily looks at the picture of the black Virgin Mary that was her mother’s. We learn that Lily doesn’t know much about Catholicism, because “According to Brother Gerald, hell was nothing but a bonfire for Catholics.” (58.) After awhile, Lily decides to wake Rosaleen. Rosaleen tells her she had a dream about Martin Luther King Jr., painting her toenails with his spit. As they walk into town, Rosaleen tells Lily that no motel is going to let a colored woman stay there, even though the Civil Rights Act has been passed. Lily shows that she is still naïve about racism, wondering what the Civil Rights Amendment was all about if Rosaleen can’t stay in a motel now. As they continue to walk, Lily is looking for a divine sign to tell her what to do when they come across Frogmore Stew General Store and Restaurant. Lily goes inside to buy lunch and steals a can of snuff for Rosaleen, since the store is only allowed to sell restaurant food on Sundays. While inside, she sees a jar of honey that has the exact same picture of the black Virgin Mary on it as her mother’s picture. She asks the shopkeeper who made the honey and finds out…

    A Rose for Emily - Analaysis

    “A Rose for Emily”, by William Faulkner, is a story describing the ways of Emily, a woman who is an extreme introvert. The story revolves around death and how eminent and powerful it is that it controlled the story from start until the end. Emily wanted to conquer death by denying the fact that the person is truly not dead, as seen when her father died and she didn’t want to accept that he is dead. She also tried to conquer death by killing Homer in the sense that she thought death would enable her to have full control over Homer. She was a fool to believe in such lunacy. But in the end, death became a dear friend to Emily. Death is her only companion and the only thing that approved of her in all ways.…

    Lily Owens Transformation

    Early in the novel, Lily states, “Lying on the cot in the honey house, though, all I could think was August is so intelligent, so cultured, and I was surprised by this. That’s what let me know I had some prejudice buried inside me”. And “I thought [colored women] could be smart, but not as smart as me, me being white” (78). By these comments, Lily shows racial bias by associating intelligence and sophistication, with skin color. However, by the end of the novel Lily becomes color blind. “There was no difference between my piss and June’s. That’s what I thought when I looked at the dark circle on the ground. Piss was piss” (88). Through her relationships with August and Zach, Lily learns that skin color is neither an indicator of intelligence, nor of worth. Lily says, “It would have been better if God had deleted skin color altogether” (155). Lastly, Lily tells how she and her friend sit with Zach at school, despite being called “nigger lover” for doing so. Lily shows that she is developing the self-confidence to stand up to discrimination by repudiating the values of her…

    Rowling, their letter grades from highest to lowest are O, E, A, P, D, and T. Reading the books, you have to use the key and translate the letters to their meaning: Outstanding, Exceeds Expectations, Acceptable, Poor, Dreadful, or Troll. While it is somewhat ridiculous to think about a grade of "Troll," this idea is applicable to any grading system: you have to use the key and translate the letters to their meaning. Sometimes an A means acceptable and sometimes it means amazing. The letter is the same, but the meaning is…
