THE CLUTTER FAMILY KILLINGS: COLD BLOOD - 1 views

  • "Smith, in his confusion, jealousy, anger, disappointment - and spite - reactively and instinctively thrust that hunting knife into Herbert Clutter's throat (Smith may also simultaneously have been displacing his anger onto the victim, thereby symbolically killing his feckless paramour).
  •  
    Dealing with speculations regarding the insanity of the killers, this site personalizes Smith as a rather unmasculine, almost soft person. All his past experiences, abuses, and hatred welled up inside him, and when he killed Herb, it was as though he was taking his anger out against the world. Insanity theme
  •  
    This is an interesting perspective on the killings, placing the murder on a fit of "romantic jealousy". It also provides a theory on the sexual orientation of smith and hitchcock...

Importance of Parental Supervision | Parenting | Disney Family.com - 0 views

  • The survey indicates that parents misunderstand what's important to their kids, underestimate their maturity, overlook problematic behavior and withdraw themselves from their children's daily lives.
  • "Clearly, there's a connection gap if half the people in a conversation think they don't get a chance to explain themselves," says Kutner. "If one person tends to dominate most conversations at the expense of another, it can create an environment filled with misunderstanding, anger and resentment."
  •  
    Following the shooting at Columbine High School, several surveys were conducted to understand how the parents were unaware of their children s violent nature. What they found was a huge communication gap between parents and their children that  led to misunderstanding and anger. This is exactly what happens between Victor and the monster, as Victor is unwilling to communicate, thus creating a barrier between the two.

  • Through her personal study, Ehrenreich sees the futility of the American dream as her various co-workers desperately attempt to break through their social strata and leave the life of the "working poor" behind. But housing and transportation costs, medical bills, and the price of basic needs create obstacles that are often insurmountable. Though Ehrenreich still sees hope and a strong drive to succeed within this community, she fears a future uprising as people "are bound to tire of getting so little in return and to demand to be paid what they're worth. There'll be a lot of anger when that day comes, and strikes and disruption."

      This article displays the similarity between N and D and The Grapes of Wrath through the illustration of the obstacles that come in the way of many low class workers in America. However, it also illustrates the glimpse of hope that lingers even in the midst of the toughest obstacles. Furthermore, this article portrays the theme of unity and relates it to N and D through Ehrenreich's predictions of "strikes" and "anger", similar to TGOW.
  •  
    I really like the way this article compared Nickel and Dimed to Grapes of Wrath as well. What gives the opressed worker reason to live besides hope? GOW used hope and anger as a way to brew the long plot, which eventually escalated into unity and seemed to be heading for an revolution of the low class. I feel like our country is now at a point where the workers still have hope in our society and have not realized the importance of unity, but when they do, a revolution could occur.

Coping With Loss: Bereavement and Grief - HealthyPlace - 0 views

  • Grieving is the outward expression of your loss. Your grief is likely to be expressed physically, emotionally, and psychologically. For instance, crying is a physical expression, while depression is a psychological expression.
  • It is very important to allow yourself to express these feelings. Often, death is a subject that is avoided, ignored or denied. At first it may seem helpful to separate yourself from the pain, but you cannot avoid grieving forever. Someday those feelings will need to be resolved or they may cause physical or emotional illness.
  •  
    This article discusses the importance of outward expression after the loss of a family member, despite how close they were. This display of emotion helps one to deal with the loss, lessening the probability that it will later turn into a mental illness. Following Addie's death, with the exception of a few silent tears shed by Vardaman, and Jewel's anger outbursts, very little display of emotion is held, thus explaining the family's worsening state.

Class in the 1930's - 0 views

  • many among the upper classes began to flaunt their wealth more than ever. Working class Americans, many of whom were thrown out of work by the Depression (which they often correctly blamed upon the reckless financial dealings of the upper classes) were shocked and angered by this ostentatious display of wealth.
  • They often viewed such programs as hand outs, which, as can be seen in this cover, were not somethign which the upper classes felt was their responsibility to provide. They were further angered by the actions of President Roosevelt, who catered to the mass of Americans while largely ignoring the interests of the upper classes. These factors served to heigten class tensions during a period when many Americans (both rich and poor) were already tense over their financial futures.
  • New Deal regulations helped foster significant unionization and these unions would often run into conflict with company hired police forces.
  •  
    Discusses class conflict in the 1930s and, the New Deal's support of unionization. This article presents the views on the financial turmoil of the time from both the rich and poor, breaking down the reasons they dislike eachother

  •  
    This quote can be seen as the modern day version of The Grapes of Wrath. As the cyclical theory repeats itsself in history, the people of modern time are experiencing the same problems as the migrant workers. The author again evokes the passion to show the consequences of the poor treatment of workers

What Makes Serial Killers Tick? - Childhood Abuse - Crime Library on truTV.com - 0 views

  • In some cases, the abuse of children by their parents is barbaric, and it seems little wonder that anything but a fledgling serial killer would come from such horrible squalor.
  • Childhood abuse may not be the sole excuse for serial killers, but it is an undeniable factor in many of their backgrounds.
  • In looking to the parents for explanations, we see both horrifying mothers and fathers. The blame usually falls on the mother, who has been described as too domineering or too distant, too sexually active or too repressed. Perhaps the mother is blamed more because the father has often disappeared, therefore "unaccountable." When the father is implicated, it is usually for sadistic disciplinarian tactics, alcoholic rants, and overt anger toward women.

  • . Instead, it often creates a lack of love between parent and child that can have disastrous results. If the child doesn't bond with its primary caretakers, there is no foundation for trusting others later in life. This can lead to isolation, where intense violent fantasies become the primary source of gratification
  •  
    Like many other sites, this site defends childhood abuse, saying that it does not ALWAYS create pyschotic monsters. However, often, childhood abuse is a lead cause. In addition, the site discusses the roles of father and mother in raising careless killers rather than children

Long-Term Consequences of Child Abuse and Neglect - 1 views

  • Difficulties during adolescence. Studies have found abused and neglected children to be at least 25 percent more likely to experience problems such as delinquency, teen pregnancy, low academic achievement, drug use, and mental health problems (Kelley, Thornberry, & Smith, 1997). Other studies suggest that abused or neglected children are more likely to engage in sexual risk-taking as they reach adolescence, thereby increasing their chances of contracting a sexually transmitted disease (Johnson, Rew, & Sternglanz, 2006). Juvenile delinquency and adult criminality. According to a National Institute of Justice study, abused and neglected children were 11 times more likely to be arrested for criminal behavior as a juvenile, 2.7 times more likely to be arrested for violent and criminal behavior as an adult, and 3.1 times more likely to be arrested for one of many forms of violent crime (juvenile or adult) (English, Widom, & Brandford, 2004). Alcohol and other drug abuse. Research consistently reflects an increased likelihood that abused and neglected children will smoke cigarettes, abuse alcohol, or take illicit drugs during their lifetime (Dube et al., 2001). According to a report from the National Institute on Drug Abuse, as many as two-thirds of people in drug treatment programs reported being abused as children (Swan, 1998). Abusive behavior. Abusive parents often have experienced abuse during their own childhoods. It is estimated approximately one-third of abused and neglected children will eventually victimize their own children (Prevent Child Abuse New York, 2003).
  • These include costs associated with juvenile and adult criminal activity, mental illness, substance abuse, and domestic violence.
  •  
    This source discusses the harmful physical, mental, and psychological effects of child abuse upon kids. Abused kids are much more likely to turn into criminals, turn to violence, or become pyschopaths than other children. Just like Perry, no matter how soft and feminine kids appear, the worse treatment they receive at home, the more anger they bottle up inside.
  •  
    Mentions some of the physical and mental detriments of being raised in a neglectful home, and considering perry thought of himself as his fathers slave, it would be fair to say he was in some way shape or form neglected, and that even if the effects dont seem obvious they can effect social behavior...

Gale Power Search - Document - 1 views

  • A strong irony is at work in most of the monologues in the novel, revealing Anse and his children with their individual dreams and preoccupations, some of them utterly selfish,
  • A whole range of emotions colors the monologues and hence the novel as a whole, from anger and hatred and fear to loyalty and reverence.
  •  
    This is the theme of selfishness and hostility within the family. Both of these Gothic elements imployed by Faulker lead to the ultimate theme of isolation

The Rhetoric of American Protest: Thomas Paine and the Education of Tom Joad - 0 views

  •  
    "By turning his anger outward to benefit a larger community, Tom makes a final commitment to his society. As readers, we sense that Tom Joad's greatest actions are yet to come. These future actions, we sense from Tom's rhetoric, will become an intentional protest against established authority."
  •  
    "Tom's transition from the private to the public, from an inner, intuitive sense of morality to an outward expression of that morality, parallels the exemplary American man embedded in the rhetoric of one of America's first social rebels, Thomas Paine. As an augmentation of Paine's rhetoric, Tom further mythologizes rebellion and protest as the natural right of all Americans."
  •  
    This article tells of Tom's transformation from a private man into a public one. The article discusses the similarities between the audacious Tomas Paine of the American Revolution to Tom Joad. Although Paine has nothing to do with business ethics or treatment of the workers, it is interesting to see the parallels between Paine and Joad. The article also brings to light how America's morals change over time.

Literary Reference Center - powered by EBSCOhost: Nickel and Dimed - 1 views

  • This might mean that Ehrenreich’s calls at the end of the book for workers to rise up, make demands, form unions, and get angry are wasted
  •  
    This again shows the connection between Nickel and Dimed and The Grapes of Wrath. Both Steinbeck and Ehrenreich are in favor of evoking the readers passion and having the people try to rise up. By using passion and feelings to motivate the people and display the poor treatment of workers

    "Another aspect of this general problem is "injury of the spirit;" in other words, when the reward to excel is minimal, why bother trying to excel?"

    This quote is from a personal finance site that reviewed the book. It brings up interesting topics that show a different incite, like when the workers are not compensated for doing an outstanding job rather than a minimalist one, they have no desire to continue to excel.
  •  
    I agree with you Willie. I feel like this is true and it promotes the anger in the people that causes them to rise up
  •  
    You make a good statement; often workers feel compelled to just give up and surrender to the companies. And honestly, who could blame them? You work 16 hours in a day and sleep the rest. You're tired, sleep deprived, hungry, in constant stress. You live only to work, and you work just to live. What is the point of life? Like honestly the condition these people live in just sucks.
  •  
    I agree with all of you and the quote depicts why businesses promote the hiring of uneducated workers because they will work for less and perform at the same speed as a normal worker since there is no reward for excelling.

  • It is the tone of a woman almost in touch with her anger, who is determined not to appear angry, who is willing herself to be calm, detached, and even charming

      This article illustrates a connection between low class workers and women during Virginia Woolf's time due to its description of Woolf's tone in the story. Similar to workers, women try not to "appear angry" and instead try to appear "calm, detached, and even charming". This depicts the hatred that lurks in every oppressed group, such as women and low class workers, who are not able to stand up to the great force above them.
