Vow

After reading Ind Aff, I thought it was most similar to A Rose for Emily; therefore, I will be comparing and contrasting the theme of marriage and gender roles between those to two stories. First thing that stood out to be: do these people not value marriage? Marriage is supposed to be sacred, where people love and cherish one another. Emily killed Homer Barron before they could even get married. The narrator in Ind Aff sought the attention and affection from a married man named Peter. Peter is…

If a Vestal Virgin broke her vows, she was condemned to death by being buried alive. For example, Cannutia Crescentina broke her vow of purity,…

psychological methods. One psychological method Torvald uses is guilt. One example is that Torvald was trying to convince Nora that their vows that they made at their wedding are something that is supposed to keep them bonded forever. Torvald tries to explain to Nora that vows that two couples make to join them in marriage are sacred. He tried to convince her that the most sacred vows are caring for your husband and children, but Nora replies with, “I have other duties equally sacred” (p. 1173).…

A woman who was a virgin, or even claimed a vow of chastity, was virtuous in the eyes of the church, and through this symbol the ‘ideal woman’ was born. This is clearly exhibited by Rosa’s vow of chastity, outward modesty, and purity of life that she honored in her personal promise to God, as told by De la Maza .

Tim Burton and his innocent dark effect on cinematic techniques are what makes him stand out in the directing world. The way he manipulates the cinematic techniques help him control the audience's thoughts, emotions and feelings about the story and the stories characters. The cinematic techniques he manipulates are music and sound, framing and angles, and lighting. Those are the few that stick out the most which are what he uses to control the mood and tone of the story. To begin, Tim Burton…

While watching Little Miss Sunshine, I was drawn to Dwayne Hoover. He struck me at first as a stereotypical teenager, but became more than that when it is revealed that he has taken a vow of silence until he is in the Air Force. The adversities he faces are first, being in his teenage year, which I consider adversity enough, and also coming for his family.
