Lucy Burns

The movie Iron Jawed Angels was a very intriguing movie. It taught a lot about women's suffrage and times in the early 20th century. I did not know much on this topic before. In the movie, as the characters fought for the right for women to vote, we saw the slow process they took to eventually reach their goal. After 64 years of fighting they had only gotten 9 states to allow women votes, but at the end of the movie we see the harsh and diligent steps the members of the National Women’s party takes to nationally pass the bill. The viewers really got to better understand real life women suffragettes such as Alice Paul and Lucy Burns. The movie first starts out introducing Alice Paul. We learn she has come from Britain and is a Quaker. She has begun organizing a parade for…

This helped people, both men and some women, picture what…

While working with the Womens Social and Political Union, Lucy Burns met Alice Paul at a London police station. Both women had been arrested for demonstrating. This was a sign of things to come for both women in their future together. They were passionate about activism, and the feminist struggle for…

Lucy Honeychurch threatens her own happiness greatly. She constantly battles within because she is composed of Apollonianism and Dionysianism principles. The contrast between honey and church in her last name represents her constant struggle between the two forces. The beginning of her last name, honey, taste sweet like the Dionysianism way of indulging one’s self. Then, the second half of her last name, church, represents a formal place thought of as strict or proper like the Apollonianism way…

Journal Writing Never Let Me Go — Chapter 7 I am curious whether there is a reason, or a meaning of some kind, behind Ishiguro naming the characters. I have read that whoever with the name Lucy, will always bring anything they start to completion. And I think this description fits the character Miss Lucy in Never Let Me Go. This chapter is mainly about Kathy's reminiscence of Miss Lucy, there were several flashbacks (of course, all in different time and place,…

what happened in the past. As a result of this, Maggie feels insecure about herself and is barely recognized or seen by anyone. Still and withdrawn, she 's hardly a presence even when she does manage to mumble a few sentences. She has been like this ever since the fire had burnt the house down. According to the Dictionary of Symbols, the symbol of 'fire ' in the story means purification and regeneration, as it means the old growth that is burned away makes way for the new growth to begin.

“Everyone in our neighborhood, even the girls, smoked” Pony says. Smoking at an early age can result in heart disease, strokes later on in life, and even lung cancer. The boys know this as Dally asks Johnny for a “cancer-stick” while in the church. So, the Greasers decision to smoke even though they know the consequences is an example of unhealthy choice. But, even though the Greasers made unhealthy choices that negatively impacted their lives, some unhealthy choices were made that weren’t all…
