The men’s inability to empathize with women’s situations and their ignorance to the women’s values cause female characters from both stories to lose important aspects of their lives and personalities, resulting in a deterioration of their states of mind. In “The Yellow Wallpaper,” Jane’s husband John, in a poor attempt to “cure” her, restricts her freedom and puts her on a “scheduled prescription for each hour of the day” and “hardly lets [her] stir without special direction” (Gilman 75). Despite Jane’s protests, John forbids her from performing any activities as part of his “cure” and continuously tries to help her heal by taking away her freedom, exhibiting a fundamental misunderstanding and unwillingness to listen to her feminine opinions. Jane also admits that she “did write for a while in spite of [him]; but it does exhaust [her] a good deal -- having to be so sly about it” (75). Her need to be “sly” and “exhausted” contradicts her usually complacent behavior, indicating a change in Jane’s personality due to the restrictions placed upon her. This loss of freedom causes Jane to lose pieces of her old personality and eventually drives her to insanity. Minnie Wright in “A Jury of Her Peers” suffers similar losses. After marrying John Wright, many aspects of Minnie’s personality and lifestyle were molded to fit her husband. She became docile and quiet as her personality changed drastically under the new oppressive environment of marriage. As Mrs. Hale searches the Wright…

In Hunger Games two children representatives from each district were chosen on a yearly basis to fight for their district. In Wings of Fire five different…

A child’s innocence is not an object that be replaced. It is precious and valuable, and should never be tainted. A child is born with a veil of protection from the worst things they can be exposed to. Their innocence is what protects them. They are shielded from the outside world, and saved from the blackness of what they could fall into by the whiteness of the purity that protect them. It drapes them like a pair of fully formed angel wings that cradle them like a delicate rose bud. This small…

Musicology 123 Paper 1 Starr and Waterman stated that cover songs/cover versions in the postwar era were used to “cash in on the potential popularity of a recording by creating their own (sometimes almost indistinguishable) versions of it.” However, the reason that a musician records a cover song has drastically changed since the late 1940s. Nowadays, musicians record a cover song to pay homage to their favorite musicians and to the musicians that have inspired them. This is exactly why Foo…

They are dressed in their head-to-toe covering battle gear, carrying bows, arrows, and spears. Instead of killing you, however, they cover your heads with fabric bags and drag you away…

Veronica climbed into the big bed, jeans off, and pulled the big, soft blanket to her chin. The lights were soft in Logan’s room, she’d never noticed that before. The rest of the world was this harsh, unforgivable place, lighting up her weak spots with hot, bright lights, but there, Veronica almost felt safe. She smiled to herself in his bed; she’d confronted her best friend’s killer there, she shook her head. But that was how she was, that was who she was- what had Logan said? The bravest…
