example of Catherine’s desire to be loved is implicitly implied through her seeing danger in every corner of the court because she believed that she is disposable because she is feeling unloved in a foreign place with rules and dangers that are unknown to her. Chomsky uses the insecurity that Catherine may have felt upon her first arrival in Russia to portray her as a feeble girl who needs to be loved in a potentially dangerous and hostile world. Chomsky uses small portions of the primary sources to show Catherine as a weak ruler who is constantly seeking love through her many lovers throughout the film. Chomsky shows her as a female ruler who needs support from strong masculine personalities such as her lovers and the Grand Chancellor and Vice Chancellor. These men, whom she typically has a love for in either a romantic way or fatherly way, play a large role in her decision-making throughout the film.…

Mary Catherine is just one example, of the many children who have faced the consequences that come with not being vaccinated. Mary’s parents, Suzanne and Leonard Walthers, decided to research the safeness of vaccines for their new baby and found information that initially made them decide against getting Mary vaccinated. It is because of this decision, that Mary came down with a form of meningitis, one that had nearly been eradicated in the U.S. and could have easily been prevented with a vaccination, just days before her first birthday (Bumper and Carter). Luckily, Mary survived, but her parent’s deeply regretted their choice to not have her vaccinated.

She had a great understanding of her father’s values and little of her mothers. That could just be due to the fact the she was of a younger age than her brother and was born into her father’s values. Because Ikwe left Angus after her son was taken from her, Catherine would have more of an understanding of nature and the values that her mother had taught her. When playing with the other children of the Algonquian people, it was apparent that she had no understanding their lifestyle.…

This poem is about Mary’s experience of her own self being executed by being hanged for not “fitting in as the other local towns women” for being an outcast, and as well as having witchcraft accusations.…
