    Morality Vs. Desire In Ethan Frome By Edith Wharton

    “Ethan Frome” by Edith Wharton, is a tale of morality, sorrow, and a broken relationship. The arrival of Mattie Silver, Zeena’s cousin, goes to show that temptations can often get the best of a dying relationship. When given the option of choosing between his spouse, whom he married out of loneliness and a new girl, that shows him affection, does Ethan do what is morally right, or does he give in to his longing for a loving companion. This obstacle along with others of the same nature helped me to determine that the theme of “Ethan Frome”, is ethicality vs. desire. Ethan married his wife, not out of love, but because he felt he owed it to her due to all she had done for his mother.…

When Cassandra had gotten word about detective Union and her problems with the Bureau, she contacted Union personally. Cassandra had complained of hearing muffled screams and loud music, which were brushed off as " maybe they're having sex ". Union had spent a few nights since, watching the building and even though she never saw anything out of the ordinary, she had knocked on the tenants door a couple of times. Each time, no one answered. She can recall hearing someone inside prior to knocking, but still no answer. Those were red flags for…

    Mental Trauma Case Studies

    This separation has also produced chronic distress throughout Cassie’s young life. She is also deprived of what Bowlby defines attachment as being a “lasting psychological connectedness between human beings” (Bowly,1969). In theory her constant running away from home and her aunt, can be seen as attempts to live without love and support of others due to her loss in confidence in the relationship she’s had with her mother. It also explained as her version of fleeing to safety based on instinct. Avoidance is her attempt to defend against dangers by limiting contact with the world and withdrawing from others (Cozolino,2010). She simply doesn’t know how to properly attach to the caregivers in her…

    Personal Narrative: Shmuel Basch

    I want to tell myself everything that I wish I would have known sooner; however, I never do. Although it is a painful wound that seeming will never close, I do not wish to change the past. Everything happens for a reason, and I do not want to put my own selfish desires, before God’s plan. As I talk to the young man, I pretend to be someone else. I go by the name Jon. I listen and remember as he pours out his heart to me, like he always does when I have this dream. “So, Jon, have you ever been in love?” With a smirk on my face, I know exactly where this conversation is going. It used to hurt to talk about Anne. At first, I couldn’t even bring myself to have the conversation, but now, it is my favorite. “Do you mean with a woman, or myself?” Shmuel leans back, balancing his chair on its two back legs and laughs, “Don’t play with me old man.” Shmuel’s words are playfully cruel. His defiance and rebellion brings back vivid memories of when he was young, playful, and dumb. I neatly fold my hands together on the table before us, and wait. I listen to all he has to say about the love of his life, Anne. He talks about her fiery red hair that matches perfectly with her attitude, about the freckles on her nose, and about the way she sometimes snorts when she laughs. He tells the story of how he took her boating on their first date and how the boat had flipped over. Shmuel had thought that the date was ruined, but to his…

    Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been

    Connie is fifteen years old and obviously self-conscious because of the love that she never receives at home. Her whole life revolves around attention from boys since she does not feel loved at home. Her sister June appears to be the favorite in the family, as she receives all of the positive attention. Connie's mother doesn’t speak kindly to Connie or about Connie, and Connie doesn't think well of her mother either. Her father does whatever he can to please Connie but doesn’t seek for a good father-daughter relationship. They never talk about what is happening in their lives and act as if they are only acquaintances. Connie wants to appear older and wiser than she actually is and her head is always full of meaningless daydreams to help her cope. Her promiscuity leads to attraction from boys and older men where she becomes terrified and realizes that she is not as grown up as she thought. Connie comes face to face with the harshreality of being forced into adulthood at the age of fifteen because of the special attention of Arnold Friend.…

    Connie is a protagonist of the story. She is a fifteen year-old self-centered teenager, who “knew she was pretty, and that was everything” (626).
