It was also normal to see young people being married off to people that are older than them. Her Nanny is upset because she is kissing someone else and she is not married to him. She wants a better life for Janie and for her life to not be like hers. She wants to knock some sense into her that she understands that she is going to be married for hopefully a better life.

The women hold this woman that just come into town at a higher standards then they do each other.

They expected her to be wearing the satin dress that she left in. They expected her to have money from the man that she married. They expect her to either wear her hair up or have it cut short. The people in the town are stereotyping her and expecting to dress like all the other women are dressing.

The women comes back into town and all the people in the town are jealous of her. They want or wanted what she had. She they made up rumors about her and used them to try and hurt her. They laughed about what they heard.

This could show love and imaginations that children may have.

She does this with "my son runs his hands across a puddle outside out apartment, pretends it's an ocean he can swim in."

Even though they may not be said some people may already but you into the category. In Malcolm London's TED Talk he talks about the regulars and the honors. If you were to play a sport someone that doesn't know you may put you into the regulars category even though all they do is honor classes. If you don't play a sport people may assume that you are in the honor category even though all you take is regular classes. Many people are going to stereotype you for what you do, what classes you take, or what you look like. People then try and fit the label that they were given. What people need to do is not worry about the label they are given and instead make their own label for them.

He jumped into it when he got a hold of the dictionary. He spends so much time learning to read and write using the dictionary. As the essay goes on you see that he is determined to be able to read and write.

Mrs. Washington treats Rodger nice because she would want someone to treat her the same way if that was her Tue, 20 Apr 2021 22:01:29 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260283?scroll_to=2354515 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260283?scroll_to=2354515 A possible theme for this short story could be that age doesn't really matter. Everyone ages and there will still be people that tell you want you need to do.

I like how even though he tried to steal from her she took him home, cleaned him up, feed him, and gave him money for new blue suede shoes Tue, 20 Apr 2021 22:01:29 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260283?scroll_to=2354495 https://nowcomment.com/documents/260283?scroll_to=2354495 While I was reading this paragraph I began to relate more to it. When my birthday comes around every year it feels the same. I have the same routine and do the same thing. The only thing that chances this day from any other day is that we might have a little celebration. It takes me a couple of days to realize that I am a different age.

Then when they commit suicide there is no clues that they might have been abused. People that don't know what that might feel like don't understand what they go through.

Her sadness and the rain was foretold by the almanac but also by the grandmother herself. She tries to distract herself by using tea time as an excuse.

They don't want to focus on the future because they might not make it there. I find this sad. My grandma does this sometimes and it upsets me because I don't want to have to imagine her at the house anymore. It is hard to hear and sometimes I wish I didn't hear it. Goodbye isn't forever and you will see them again Thu, 28 Jan 2021 19:38:10 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/247092?scroll_to=2299525 https://nowcomment.com/documents/247092?scroll_to=2299525 Just because money can buy you better things that doesn't mean anything. If you don't have a job that you love doing or family surrounding you don't have everything. Money can't bu you happiness but surrounding yourself with friends and family can Thu, 28 Jan 2021 13:59:08 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/247092?scroll_to=2299481 https://nowcomment.com/documents/247092?scroll_to=2299481 For me it isn't the fear of aging for me it is the fear of dying. It is something that is unknown. Nobody knows what is going to happen and I think that freaks some people out. Everyone ages and it is something that is going to happen. People may wonder where they are going to be later in the years. It is a subject no one has an answer to Tue, 02 Feb 2021 13:24:05 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246954?scroll_to=2269358 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246954?scroll_to=2269358 I like how they were able to come together like they use to do when Mitch was in college. Even though Morrie is going through something big he still asks about Mitch's life and asks him questions about his work. I also like as you read farther down Morrie asks if he is going to come back on Tuesdays and Mitch says yes.

That party was interrupted by the couple coming in to check out the house. This party was interrupted by Sheila coming in. This the party that Jack tells them that he is leaving to go work at his new job. Everyone starts getting upset and mad at him.

They don't have to worry about people looking at them weirdly and making mean comments. When they are outside their house they have to work with people and they made be made fun of because of things that they may do. This beings into focus that some people may find people with mental illnesses weird and not be able to do their jobs. To me this is not fair because they are as capability of doing things that people without mental illnesses can do.

Barry thinks that he is a professional golf player. Mrs. Freemus is a widow. Even though in the scene you see her not being able to hit the ball and her saying that he isn't helping her, she still decides to come back. I think she decides to do this because she wants to help him get out of his mind for a little bit. By doing this I think this makes her an archetypal caregiver because she wants to help him. Tue, 10 Nov 2020 13:41:41 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/238472?scroll_to=2175319 https://nowcomment.com/documents/238472?scroll_to=2175319 I think that "we are more than capable of sharing your pain," is a good sentence that people need to read. This is because it lets you know that people are there for you when you need them. If you invest into someone else's feelings you also have to consider your own. This sentence lets me know that people are there for me when I may need them and that it is okay to show your feelings. I mention briefly about sentence six because it ties to sentence seven.
