    As you can see, even though each of Janie’s husbands was successful in the novel they would have not been so much successful in today’s society. I went into details about three main ideas which were the breaking down of each husband social class, the social class we have in today’s society, and the comparison between the two. Now, before I end this paper I would like for you to answer this question. Do you still believe Janie would have married each of these men if they were living in today’s…

    His biggest Ally had to be Darwin Martin who supported Wright financially for many years. Wrights mother was also an ally to him; she always believed in him and wanted him to succeed as an Architect. Sullivan who helped Wright develop his talent was also an ally to Wright. The next step of the initiation stage is the road of trials that Wright faced. Wright faced many trails during his quest. “In 1909 Wright left his wife and six children to leave Chicago with his lover Mamah Cheney but he had not thought this through” (Smith 101).

    “In a mere blink after I first set foot upon this mysterious, new land called America, two years flew by. The fall of 1636 was fast approaching. Leaves turned bright hues of yellows and orange, though mostly brown, and there was a subtle bite that crisply lingered about the air at daybreak. It was only five o’clock when I slipped out of the house, as silent as the night that had come and gone. This was my thinking time. Usually, I walked around the estate, which lay just outside of Boston, and that day was no different. I most likely started my walk by reminiscing of my hometown in Mother England. Alford in Lincolnshire, England had been wonderfully picturesque and quaint. On July 20, 1591, I was baptized as Anne Marbury by my loving parents, Francis Marbury, a reverend, and Bridget Dryden, my wonderful mother. We moved around a lot, mostly because Father was banned from preaching at several churches due to his radical philosophies. In fact, he had been imprisoned and put under house arrest more than once (Reuben 2). I supposed the reflection of my childhood was brought about by the evening before. There had been the birth of the Atkins’ twin boys, Hugh and Silas, as well as the Doran’s, who had their firstborn, Humility (Barnett 1). Being one of the most trusted midwives in the area, of course I was there to help them (Reuben 2). Goody Atkins, after the successful delivery of two rosy…
