    New Murders By Annie Johnson Summary

    In 1903 the late Mrs. Annie Johnson of Arkansas found herself with two toddling sons, very little money, a slight ability to read and add simple numbers. To this picture add a disastrous marriage and the burdensome fact that Mrs. Johnson was a Negro. When she told her husband, Mr. William Johnson, of her dissatisfaction with their marriage, he conceded that he too found it to be less than he expected, and had been secretly hoping to leave and study religion. He added that he thought God was calling him not only to preach but to do so in Enid, Oklahoma. He did not tell her that he knew a minister in Enid with whom he could study and who had a friendly, unmarried daughter. They parted amicably, Annie keeping the one-room house and William taking most of the cash to carry himself to Oklahoma.…

    Character Analysis Of Mrs. Dubose In To Kill A Mockingbird, By Harper Lee

    The late Mrs. Henry Dubose was the definition of a courageous soul, from the way she spoke her mind proudly, being a role model for future generations to her bravery in quitting her addiction. In a world where opinions are hidden, Mrs. Dubose was unlike any other. She shared her opinion, no matter who it harmed or helped, because she wanted to be heard. As Jem and Scout were passing Mrs. Dubose shared her opinion about their lives, exclaiming: “‘what are you doing in those overalls? You should be in a dress and camisole, young lady!’” (Lee 135). Mrs. Dubose was an experienced lady, so her knowledge of young ladies attire was vast, and it took a brave woman to give advice that could be heard as an insult. Because of Mrs. Dubose’s disconcern of social niceties, she was courageously going against a stream of people who disliked her.…

    An analysis of the character "Grandmother" in A good man is hard to find

    Also, her vanity and old belief make her an unpleasant character. She always claims to be a lady and thinks much of wealth and social status. When they set out to Florida, she dresses in her best clothes and an ostentatious hat lest no one can recognize her as a refined lady if she dies in an accident along the road. “The grandmother had on a navy blue straw sailor hat with a bunch of white violets on the brim and a navy blue dress with a small white dot in the print. Her collars and cuffs were white organdy trimmed with lace and at her neckline she had pinned a purple spray of cloth violets containing a sachet.” From her perspective of identity, I can see that she defines people externally, by clothing. And she tells her grandchildren, John Wesley and June Star, that “she would have done well…

    Critical Lens

    Ms.Phelan is portrayed as a proud white mother who couldn’t even stand up for her maid Constantine, a long time servant of the family, who was being treated unfairly by the other wealthy stuck up guests in the house. Constantine had raised Skeeter, Ms.Phelan’s daughter, since infancy and developed an intimate bond that was evident to anyone who observed. When Skeeter was bullied for her looks and had a hard time with friends, Constantine was the one consoling her, not her own mother. Skeeter continued writing to her throughout college, and when she returned expecting to see Constantine after 4 years, Ms.Phelan said she had left for family in Chicago. This was a lie since she knew Skeeter’s reaction to the truth would be an outburst. Constantine was in fact fired because her daughter, Lula, was white, and Ms.Phelan didn’t want a white daughter to come visit the colored maid. The situation looked odd to the women who were there for a meeting, and Lula wasn’t willing to leave without seeing her mother. Ms.Phelan couldn’t say anything to support Constantine, since the women were questioning her authority over the maid. After she was fired, Ms.Phelan realized her mistake and tried to fix it by making her son search for Constantine in Chicago, only to find out she had recently died. Ms.Phelan was too proud of a woman to…

    American Woman essay

    The way the Woman dresses is a typical American style for this time period. The narrator informs the reader that the first thing the Woman does when she gets home is to change out of one dress and put on her house dress and comfy shoes (Otsuka 7). In the 1940s it was very common for American women to have a separate dress to wear in their homes (“1940s Fashion”). She is also described as wearing gloves (Otsuka 4) which was a popular accessory in the United States (“1940s Fashion”). On the other hand, Japanese women wore kimonos which are large T shaped dresses, pinched in at the waist with a sash (“Fashioning Kimonos”). The Woman in the story also wears lipstick (Otsuka 37); lipstick and eyeliner were what ladies in America were wearing at this time. In Japan they were wearing much more makeup applying cover up, rouge, lipstick, and eyeliner (“Glamourdaze”). This shows that the Woman in the novel…

    She Stoops to Conquer Review

    One of the ways that the director’s main message was successfully communicated was through the design of the production, in particular the costuming selection. The designer, Jessica Worrall, creates a very striking contrast between the avant-garde hair, tightly laced bodices and woollen suits and the garish, bold leopard and tiger print. These two costume decisions working in opposition with each other are used to transport the production from the 18th century into the modern day. In terms of social class, this costume choice highlights the director’s message of showing how not everything is what it seems to be. This is shown through the wealthy family wearing cheetah print, which in today’s British society is seen to be cheap and tacky. This could portray one of Nelson’s secondary messages that money can’t buy class.…
