Cholly Breeddlove Research Paper

Rather than losing hope, the boy (who is now a young man) decides to use his ability to write poetry as a way to heal. He imagines his father has written him a letter, answering his questions. And since his dad is not available to him, he decides to father and mentor himself. Beaty wants his

However, Cholly does not exist for comedy or exploitation. He constantly abuses not only his wife, but his children as well. “He leapt from the bed…knocked her down with the back of his hand” (Morrison 38). In this scene, he is depicted to be cold and callous, harming his wife and emphasizing his desensitization towards his family. Truly evil villains are often shown to have little emotion, and even a sadistic facet to their personalities. The fact that Cholly abuses his family, the people one would assume he’d be closest to, reinforces just how cold and vile he is. Cholly, aside from physically abusing his wife, causes much psychological abuse to Pecola after he rapes her and leaves her lying unconscious on the kitchen floor (Morrison 128). It is obvious how little Cholly respects his daughter, as he does not show remorse for his deed, and leaves Pecola in a shameful position she did not deserve to be

As a child Dave Pelzer was brutally beaten and starved by his emotionally unstable, alcoholic mother; a mother who played tortuous, unpredictable games that left one of her sons nearly dead. She no longer considered him a son, but a slave; no longer a boy, but an 'it'. His bed was an old army cot in the basement, his clothes were torn and smelly, and when he was allowed the luxury of food it was scraps from the dogs' bowl. The outside world knew nothing of the nightmare played out behind closed doors. Dave dreamed of finding a family to love him and call him their son. It took years of struggle, deprivation and despair to find his dreams and make something of himself. A Child Called 'It' covers the early years of

Shirley Jackson’s story, “Charles,” is a story about a young boy telling his father stories about a boy who is doing really mean and bad things and is always getting in trouble. The father becomes worried about the influences of Charles to his son Laurie and he wants to talk to Laurie’s kindergarten teacher and parents about Charles. After the first parent teacher conference they can’t find Charles’s parents, so the next teacher conference they find the teacher and ask about Charles, but turns out Laurie is Charles. All this time Laurie was telling her father about herself and how all the bad things “Charles” is doing Laurie was actually doing. Using dialogue and foreshadowing, Shirley creates a theme of how parents don’t know their child as much as they think they do.

The most difficult time in a child's relationship with his/her parents is mainly during its teenage years. These are times of rebellion, disagreement, strong emotion, psychological changes and sexual experimentation just to name a few. In Mary Gaitskill's short story "Tiny, Smiling Daddy", the main theme "of how people seek intimacy but don't know how to achieve it" (Gaitskill, 289) is conveyed by the author through the characters, symbolism and setting and imagery.

What Janie’s grandma experienced was not warm, caring love. Getting love was the worst thing to ever happen to Nanny. The child conceived by the horrific effects of the rape, Leafy, was also sexually assaulted at a young age. One day Nanny explains to Janie, “But one day she didn’t come home at de usual time and Ah waited and waited, but she never come home all dat night… De next mornin’ she came crawlin’ in her hands and knees… Dat school teacher had done hid her in the woods all night long, and he had donerped muhbaby and run on off just before day” (Hurston 18). This shows that someone as sensitive as your first love and virginity can be the worst thing to ever happen to a little girl. Leafy gave birth to Janie and left the newborn with her mother, Nanny, to live the rest of her life drinking away the pain. When Nanny explains how Janie’s mother left it further highlights the idea of love being the worst tragedy in one’s life. The rape left Janie’s mother absolutely broken, to the point she could not raise the child. Janie never met her mother and never got the love she wanted from her maternal mom. The love and sexual interest the Crawford women hoped to get wasn’t what they

Terrill Thomas died a little over a year ago on April 24th, 2016 at a Milwaukee County Jail. Thomas passed away because of dehydration which was brought on by his water supply in his cell being cut off. Thomas was held in solitary confinement for a week after he was arrested for reckless endangerment and felony firearms violations. Along with criminal charges Thomas was bipolar which was left untreated and ignored by staff. Bipolar disorder prevents people from correctly showing their emotions or conveying what they need (Carpenter 2017). According to other inmates Thomas begged for water everyday and was ignored by every correctional officer. On the other hand the correctional officers claim Thomas said nothing to them. The lieutenant, Kashka Meadors says her directions were misinterpreted. The water supply for the toilet was just supposed to be shut off because Thomas kept flooding it. Whether or not directions were misinterpreted, it goes against standard operating procedure (Carpenter 2017). Thomas’s death was ruled a homicide but was brought up almost a year later because after the trial there more questions than answers. Since Thomas has passed there have been more deaths including three other people and even an infant. Prosecutors are not sure who they want to charge with the homicide of Terrill Thomas but they want answers.

Education was put on this world so everyone can have some confidence and dignity so we shouldn’t deprive that from inmates either. If we saved changed George chochos life then we can change

As his mother’s life began to deprive more and more Darl feels as if a force “..was driving him from his mother’s death bed, never to see her in this world again” (Faulkner, 15). Darl feels there is a wedge between him and his mother that is continuing to grow and drive them further and further apart as she continues to die. The other characters that narrate the story tell about the comparison between Darl and his mother and believes that “...he was the only one of them that had his mothers nature, had any natural affection” (Faulkner, 15). The other characters see him as being the most similar to the mother and the person who showed the most affection for his mother, but his mother continued to neglect him. He sets out to try to and impress her and be the favorite. However Darl is envious of the affection Jewel receives. He is angered because has no interest in the affection being granted. Darl says he “...can not love my mother because I have no mother, Jewel’s mother is a horse’’ (Faulkner, 61). Darl is jealous of the affection his brother got from his mother. His brother was abusive and violent and resented his mother while she continued to try and show affection to Jewel. Hemingway makes sure to come straight out and give us direct thoughts straight from the characters. Faulkner presents the same idea as Hemingway but uses different thought process and different thought and sentence
