Ida has dark brown hair that goes all the way down to the middle part of her shoulders. She usually keeps it braided back, up, and out of her face. Her eyes are those bedroom eyes. Light blue like the sky above. Showing her pain and life struggles she endure threw out her life. Her skin is flawlessly porcelain, soft, and warm. She is curvaceous and well endowed body structure. She looked healthy and strong.

She normally wears low classed clothing. During the day she wears pretty much the same red or black dress she has that covers just enough to where things are not showing. At night she tends to wear barely none to catch her costumer's eye. She doesn't wear makeup or jewelry because she can't afford it.

It was little to do with trying to keep her new siblings content but living out in the country was different then in the city. She had to learn how to make due with what she had and use the resources around her. When they reached Coalchapel she was in some way happy to know she wasn't going to be in the wilderness anymore and actually have a bed to sleep in. Her father found her a place to stay with the babies and told her he would send money every week to keep her and her sisters going. While he left towards the mines with her brother. Granted Ida didn't like the idea of being alone defending herself as as well as infants but she manged to make it

    Just because life seems simpler, does not mean it is in any way easier. The manipulative changes in society and culture that Offred, the main character, had to adjust to did not, for some, do the justice it was intended to perform. Lives were simplified in the view of society. Women were designated to either be a handmaid, designated child bearers, Marthas, household servers, or the wives of commanders. Offred was a handmaid, and for her position she was only responsible for becoming pregnant with the commander, and bear the mother of the house a child. Birth rates were declining, and these handmaids were designated to pulling society out of the pit and restoring peace and balance.…

    She seems like a stubborn, quiet, and mean old woman. I learned Ida’s mother was very sick, when she was growing up. When Ida was thirteen years old, her Aunt Clara always came over to stay, and help Ida’s mother through her illness. When Clara became pregnant by Ida’s father, they wanted Ida to pretend she was the one pregnant instead. Aunt Ida had to the face shame in public because people thought she was pregnant without being married. When Christine was born, Ida takes care of her for over a month. Clara wants to give up Christine for adoption: Aunt Ida refuses to give up Christine by saying, “This paper says differently. This paper says what everyone on this reservation knows. That it was me, Ida, who had to leave in shame. That it was me, Ida, who came back alone with a baby the image of my father. That it was me, Ida, who’s raised her every day. Mama knows it was me who bore her.” Aunt Ida decides that Clara cannot have any contact with her daughter Christine. Ida shows she loves Christine by saying, “You could be a beauty operator.” She says this after Christine does a horrible job on her hair. Later Ida meets Willard Pretty Dog, and became pregnant with Willard’s son Lee. Ida realizes, she does not have to pretend to act stupid around anybody, and she became an independent mother.

    He had told her that she was a natural, and that he would write to her as soon as he got back to Hollywood, but the letter never came. After recognizing that her dream would never come true, she settled for a lower status in life by marrying Curley. As Curley’s wife states, “‘I tell you I ain't used to livin' like this. I coulda made somethin' of myself.’ She said darkly, ‘Maybe I will yet.’ And then her words tumbled out in a passion of communication, as though she hurried before her listener could be taken away. ‘I lived right in Salinas,’ she said. ‘Come there when I was a kid. Well, a show come through, an' I met one of the actors. He says I could go with that show. But my ol' lady wouldn't let me. She says because I was on'y fifteen. But the guy says I coulda. If I'd went, I wouldn't be livin' like this, you bet.’” (Steinbeck ) This shows her regret of not being able to follow the show, because becoming an actor would be achieving the American Dream for her. Another point in life that Curley’s wife is that she wants to talk to people. She is very lonely in the story, running around the ranch to see if anyone had seen Curley anywhere, letting her have a conversation with some of the ranch hands. Also, the American Dream is hard for her to achieve compared to others because she is a woman. Women during this time were…

    The only female character in the novel whose name has been given to readers as Curley’s Wife is a paradox within her own life and its circumstances, and where she ended up as a result. Throughout the novel she was upset at the way she was living because she claimed that she could have “ ‘...been in the movies, an[d] had nice clothes...’ ” however the unfortunate truth was that she was stuck living the life she was living (Steinbeck 89). This as well as the fact that readers constantly saw her as mean and toxic, but only in her death they saw her as she truly was; “... the meanness and the plannings and the discontent and the ache for attention were all gone…” and she looked very plain and beautiful (Steinbeck 92-93). She, much like many other characters in the novel, had a dream for herself. However the fact is that she unfortunately failed to see that dream become a reality. Steinbeck used the paradox in the way the men on the ranch saw her to show how unfairly treated she was. He showed this through her death, displayed as pure and beautiful, unlike the manipulative creature readers had come to know thanks to the perception of the men. It is unfortunate that she never lived long enough to pursue her dreams, instead stuck in a place where she was not happy and trapped in a failing marriage. The paradox is simple, she had dreams, and they were crushed. Not everybody, as saddening as it is, gets to live their ideal life. Most do, but some tend to stop…
