Girl In The Lavender Dress Analysis

Improved Essays
The new rendering of the “Girl in the Lavender dress” keeps a similar plot because they both involve a feminine ghost, wandering or having something to do with a road. Also they both involve witness’s testimonies on spending time with the ghosts without even knowing it. This is true, because according to the “Girl In the Lavender dress”, it has the lines of,” And it was after dusk when we first saw her. I know it was dark, ‘cause I remember seeing her with the lights ahead”, introducing our ghost as a girl, and also giving the fact they found her along the road. Then, there’s this other line,”There was only one answer. What had been in our car, sitting on the back and even talking was the ghost of Carol Bullard”, proving that they had been

    While some scholars believe her suspicious behavior is justified because of the presence of malicious ghosts, not once in the story does anyone besides the governess confirm viewing the apparitions (James). This lack of verification regarding the spirits leads one to believe that the governess's grip on reality is swiftly slipping. In fact, the governess becomes so distraught when the girl refuses to acknowledge their deceased visitor that she “gives way to a wildness of grief” (James 72). Obviously, no balanced person dives into hysteria with the force of a distraught soap opera actress, so the governess's unrestrained display of despair further cements her derangement. Although the protagonist might appear on the surface level to be reacting normally to the presence of ghosts, her previous unnatural behavior suggests that she is simply suffering from insanity-induced…

    Introduction Women currently hold roughly 25% of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) jobs in the United States, despite a roughly equal representation in the workplace as a whole (Beede 2011). It seems as though our society has accepted the presence of women in the workplace, on the condition that women only occupy jobs deemed suitable for their gender. Harvard president Lawrence H. Summers made a speech in January of 2005, claiming that the reason women are underrepresented in scientific higher academia was due to innate biological differences. He claimed that socialization and expectations of women “didn’t explain the differences between the sciences and mathematics and other fields” (Hemel 2005). Summers colleagues also…

    The characters in the story “A Red Girl’s Reasoning” by E. Pauline Johnson reveal that the consequence of destructive choices is that it exposes one’s true identity. After the party, where Christie tells the other guests about how her parents are married by the traditional native marriage rites, Charlie confronts her about her “disgraceful” behaviour and his tone is very harsh. “[His] voice was like an angry demon’s- not a trace […] of the […] laughing-lipped boy [from] five hours before.” (Johnson 15) Charlie is easy and quick to anger.…

    Ellen Foster Analysis

    • 4 Pages

    Ellen Foster was written by Kaye Gibbons, and the book is narrated by a young girl named Ellen Foster, telling the reader about the unique childhood she experienced, filled with an abusive father and many different homes and experiences that a ten year old child typically wouldn’t have. When interpreting the book Ellen Foster through a social power lense, you can see that the power of the society and the way Ellen grew up, and the experiences she had under the power of her elders, really pushed her to overcome her moral challenges and become a better person. If Ellen was raised in a normal home, she probably wouldn’t have stayed friends with Starletta, or overcome the internal racism that everyone possessed in the period that the book was written.…

    Kohlberg stated that people’s moral reasoning develops in stages. In My Girl the protagonist’s moral development is seen through her actions. Vada would be classified in the “Preconventional Morality” level, stage five “Individualism and Exchange” which is marked by the idea of being good so as to attain rewards and to avoid punishments. If the reward is greater then the risk, the actions are justified. Rather than seeing herself as part of society and wanting to contribute to it, Vada is focused on her individuality and how society can give her what she wants.…

    Sigmund Freud, a psychologist and sociologist in the 20th century, believed that self-description is rarely a true representation of one’s self because real motives are disguised by conscious thoughts preventing honesty (McLeod). People are inclined to present themselves as more interesting, and in turn believe others are naturally just as amusing. For example, someone in possession of silk from India sounds adventurous or exotic, but the reality could be that the silk from India was actually shipped to America in a box full of packaging peanuts. Human minds naturally transfer observations into assumptions. Woolf sarcastically states in “A Room of One’s Own” that the “truth is only to be had by laying together many varieties of error” to bring…
