Point Of Hate In January 1905 By Katharine Boling
I read the book January 1905 by Katharine Boling. The story is about two twin girls named Pauline and Arlene. Both girls envy each other to the point of hate. Pauline hates Arlene because she gets to stay home because of her deformed foot, while the rest of the family goes to work at the cotton mill from dawn till dusk every day. Arlene also hates her sister because unlike Pauline, Arlene does not have a real job but she must stay home and work and cook her family's lunch and bring it to them. She also hates that Pauline gets to hang out with other girls her age. In Arlene’s mind P is for perfect Pauline and A is for awkward Arlene. Because of the two girls dislike for each other it slowly tears their small family apart. When Pauline gets

    Annie, over six feet tall, big-boned, decided that she would not go to work as a domestic and leave her “precious babes” to anyone else’s care. There was no possibility of being hired at the town’s cotton gin or lumber mill, but maybe there was a way to make the two factories work for her. In her words, “I looked up the road I was going and back the way I come, and since I wasn’t satisfied, I decided to step off the…

    Have you ever wanted revenge on your parents? Lizzie Borden was accused of the murder of her father and stepmother at the age of 31. I deem Lizzie guilty of the murder of her stepmother. Also, I think Bridget Sullivan, their servant was responsible for the murder of Abby Borden. According to source #3, Lizzie tried buying poison just days before the murders of her father and stepmother. She claimed the reason for the poison was to clean a sealskin cape. Plus she burned a dress the day after being named a suspect. In my opinion, most of the evidence points to Lizzie…

    Tim Winton’s novel Cloudstreet presents two seemingly dissimilar families that are forced to live together in the same house. This piece of fiction contrasts many characters with diverse morals and behaviours, in particular the two mothers of the families, Dolly Pickles and Oriel Lamb. Beneath the surface, these women have more in common than they realise, especially when it concerns gaining power, suffering trauma, their partners, experiencing loss and their home.…

    This paper has been far more difficult to research than I thought it would be. Unfortunately, photographers are not always given the full credit they desrve for their work and therefore, it is impossible to find the names of the artists of some of my favorite photographs. Instead, I decided to just look up popular photographers in the fashion industry in hopes of having easier access to information. Despite the fact that I now had the names of some of the most world famous fashion photographers, finding information on them is a whole other story in and of itself. As I am beginning to realize, the saying among the photography department is true- if you are not Annie Leibovitz, you will not be known until you are dead. For example, one of my favorite photographers is Diane Arbus. She had compiled vast amounts of work throughout her career. Unfortunately, all of her works were found in a locker after her suicide and then she was seen as an artist. To summarize what I am saying is that the only famous photographers are dead ones and all the successful ones are barely known. So in order for this research paper to even have the possibility of making it it to four pages, I am going to have to choose the cliché (yet greatly talented) photographer, Annie Leibovitz.…

    During the years 1954 through 1968, times were hard for african american people. In Alabama, african american people did not have access to the same equipment and things that white people had. When going to places, africans could only go to certain areas in certain places, or they would get arrested. For example, some places and things that required you to be white to get the better quality were school's, restrooms, water fountains, and restaurants. African american people would be discriminated, and racism scattered all over Alabama. During these hard times, african americans would wear the usual regular clothes, which were denim jeans, blue jeans, and regular T-shirts. African american people would also dress decent because when protesting…

    Emma and Clueless

    • 1106 Words
    • 5 Pages

    The main characters, Emma and Cher are representational products of their society and parallels can be drawn in the opening scenes, particularly in relation to self-knowledge. The Bildungsroman progression from delusion to social awareness is a universal value in both texts despite their differing contexts. Emma is introduced as “handsome, clever, and rich” who had “a disposition to think a little too well of herself.” Austen’s satirical tone as the omniscient narrator alerts the responder to Emma’s inability to understand her position in society. Furthermore, while Emma successfully matches Mr. Weston and Ms. Taylor, her motives are superficial as she sees it as “the greatest amusement in the world!” She also believes Harriet’s beauty “should not be wasted on the inferior society”, and it would be “interesting and highly becoming” to “improve her”. Austen employs verbal irony through Emma’s dialogue, which exposes her flaws of arrogance and shallowness. However, Emma eventually develops self awareness as shown when she realizes her mistake of matching Harriet with Mr. Elton and influencing her to refuse a suitable marriage with Mr. Martin.…

    The central idea in this story seems to be the mother’s search of an understanding of her daughter’s personality and outlook on life. The majority of the story is the mother trying to depict reasons for why her daughter is the way she is, so delicate, reserved, needless, and even unhappy at times. She seems to also defend her parenting choices by making excuses or blaming the urges of others in order to not have all the blame on her. She speaks about how she had no other option but to put her in the care of someone else at the age of two, even though she knew the teacher was “evil” (Pg. 925). “It was the only place there was…the only way I could hold a job” (pg. 925).…

    An internal conflict I found in each of the characters was the choice between doing the right thing and doing the wrong thing. Each character found that peer pressure got the best all of them and if they were to succeed and over-achieve, they would have to rebel from it. Knowing that their family members were rooting for them and counting on them, they finally decided to get their acts together and buckle down. Sooner or later they found out that hitting the books wasn’t as difficult as they made it out to be. They all felt that they had made some hard and wrong decisions because they didn’t stand up for what was right and tried to follow along with the crowd. After these experiences, I guess they realized their reality was what they made of it, not what others attempted to make it. Throughout their college years spent together, the three learned to help each other stay focused and achieve their dreams, leading them into a world of success, intelligence, and happiness.…
