American Pastoral :: essays research papers

The Failure to Develop   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Many people stutter; however people usually outgrow stuttering. But it is not something that people just do for a short while to attract attention. People who do stutter are actually really embarrassed by it and the attention they receive from stuttering and fear the next time that it will happen. They will often avoid situations in which stuttering will be a problem. Stutterers have no control over when they stutter or don’t. Contrary to the therapist in the novel American Pastoral, stuttering is not an idea conjured up in ones head to gain attention. It is not a psychological problem that comes and goes as one needs it, or when it would be beneficial to a person. Because the truth is, a stutterer never finds it beneficial to have.   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Research has shown that stuttering is one hundred percent physiological, and not at all psychological. The psychiatrist â€Å"got Merry thinking that the stutter was a choice she made, a way of being special that she had chosen and then locked into when she had realized how well it worked†(95). The belief that you will not stutter has no effect on your speech. The anticipation of stuttering does not cause stuttering (5). Stuttering is a developmental disorder that starts in the early childhood and nothing Merry did could change that. It develops at the same time as children learn â€Å"grammar, accents, and other fundamentals of speech and language†(1). When children fail to learn â€Å"speech breathing, vocal fold control, and how to articulate sounds†(1) that is when they develop disfluencies, which can turn into stuttering or stammering. If children do not learn these fundamentals at the right critical time, it is difficult or impossible to learn later. Children will develop these problems between the ages of two and six, when development is most crucial. Which is around the age that Merry developed the stutter in the novel. Usually people will not develop speech problems past the age of eleven. More boys than girls develop speech disorders. Which is why it was even more rare for Merry to have the stutter because it’s not as common in girls. Even then, the girls tend to outgrow their problems, up until their forties. . It is difficult to determine who will outgrow and who will not (4). Merry did eventually outgrow her stutter though. The first time her dad saw her again after the long absence, he couldn’t believe â€Å"she had attained control, mental and physical, over every sound she uttered†(246).

The Effective Literary Form of Foreshadowing

O’Connor effectively uses the literary device of foreshadowing to create an atmosphere of suspense for a family that is doomed. There are several hints that point to the fate of the family in both the overall theme of a world of change and chaos and in specific lines from the text. Death and doom are frequently discussed and certain descriptive phrases, as early as the first sentence lead a reader to believe that doom is impending. Specifically the grandmother and her choices and her description of choices all contribute to the foreshadowing.Her choice of dress and her reasons given for that is one example, as is the cat she chooses to bring and the animal’s role in the final event that leads to the death of the family. The Grandmother’s choice to take the dirt road and her mistake of direction is the final example of the foreshadowing that can be contributed to the reader’s sense of an almost inevitable and negative end. Firstly, the Grandmother does not wish to go on the trip, but agrees to go with certain pretenses. She refuses to leave her beloved cat at home while the family goes on their trip.The cat, â€Å"Pitty Sing†, is hidden in a basket as the Grandmother fears that the cat may die. O’Connor writes, â€Å"she was afraid he might brush against one of the gas burners and accidentally asphyxiate himself. Her son, Bailey didn’t like to arrive at a motel with a cat† (1135-1136). Her mention of both death and the inconvenience that bringing the cat would impose on the family shows both foreshadowing and irony, as the cat does cause an accident and inconveniences the family in the worst way.Both the concealed cat displayed by O’Connor as the Grandmother’s disregard for her family’s wishes and her lost sense of direction, as well contribute to the danger that the family is placed in. The dirt road that the Grandmother advises the family to go down is explained in detail in an ominou s manner and the plot turns even more ominous as she realizes that she has the wrong road. O’Connor writes regarding the character that a horrible thought came to her†¦her eyes dilated and her feet jumped up†¦ the instant the valise moved, the newspaper top she had over the basket rose with a snarl and Pitty Sing, the cat, sprang onto Bailey’s shoulder (1140). This incident does lead to a car accident on this abandoned, old road. Therefore, both the choice to bring the fateful animal and the choice to take the family in a wrong direction, sends a message of a foreshadowed and foreshortened future for the family.Finally, at the beginning of the story, when the cat is introduced into the plot, the Grandmother’s deception and dress are detailed. The foreshadowing of her outfit and accessories point to the fact that she has designed herself for death, in case that it comes. 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. In case of an accident, anyone seeing her dead on the highway would know at once she was a lady (1136).It should be noted that the idea or phrase of the word accident or accidental is used frequently in the story to show foreshadowing. In the citation with the cat and the uproar, there follows an automobile accident, where after the children scream several times both on pages 1140 and 1141, â€Å"We’ve had an ACCIDENT! †. The foreshadowing of the usage of accident is only paralleled by the actions leading to the family’s doom.In conclusion, O’Connor effectively uses examples of foreshadowing in â€Å"A Good Man is Hard to Find†. Three of these examples illustrate this in the previous paragraphs and all tie in together to help the reader and literary critic understand that the story has deeper meaning and context than one may originally think. The frequent reference to accident or fear that something may happen accidentally all contribute to the undertones and overtones of death, deception, and doom in a world of change and chaos.

Quines son indocumentados y cules son sus derechos

La definicià ³n de los indocumentados en Estados Unidos es clara. Son los extranjeros que no tienen estatus migratorio legal y su presencia en los Estados Unidos es objeto de gran debate polà ­tico. En este artà ­culo se explica quià ©nes son indocumentados, cuà ¡les son sus nà ºmeros y procedencia, quà © sucede si son arrestados, por quà © no regularizan su situacià ³n y, finalmente, cuà ¡les son sus derechos. Quià ©nes son los indocumentados en Estados Unidos Son las personas de otros paà ­ses que se encuentran en Estados Unidos y  carecen de estatus legal desde el punto de vista de las leyes migratorias. En general, hay 3  formas en las que un extranjero se convierte en indocumentado: En primer lugar, por cruzar la frontera sin ser examinado por un oficial de inmigracià ³n que autoriza la entrada como admitido o parole. El caso tà ­pico es el de cruzar la frontera entre Mà ©xico y Estados Unidos, principalmente por el desierto. Esta es una actividad cada vez mà ¡s difà ­cil, por el incremento de seguridad en la frontera. Y tambià ©n muy peligrosa, por el tipo de personas inescrupulosas que controlan el cruce ilegal de la frontera y tambià ©n porque cada vez se realiza mà ¡s por rutas que cruzan el desierto durante varios dà ­as, lo cual hace que decenas de personas fallezcan cada aà ±o por deshidratacià ³n. Cruzar ilegalmente la frontera se considera como la forma mà ¡s frecuente de convertirse en indocumentado. Por la propia naturaleza de que este cruce no està ¡ registrado es difà ­cil realizar un cà ¡lculo exacto. Pero se considera que aproximadamente por cada migrante arrestado cuando intentaba ingresar ilegalmente, 2 migrantes lo han conseguido.   En segundo lugar, entrar con una visa o legalmente como la tarjeta de Cruce o una ESTA por ser de un paà ­s en el Programa de Exencià ³n de Visados y quedarse mà ¡s allà ¡ del tiempo autorizado. En el aà ±o fiscal 2015 un total de 525,127 migrantes lo hicieron. Esto es lo que tambià ©n se conoce como overstay de la visa y tiene serias consecuencias. Y, en tercer lugar, cometer una  violacià ³n migratoria.  Un caso tà ­pico, es trabajar sin autorizacià ³n. Nà ºmero de indocumentados en EE.UU. y origen Se estima que aproximadamente en la actualidad hay unos 11.3 millones  de indocumentados, este nà ºmero es menor al mà ¡ximo histà ³rico del aà ±o 2000. El 52 por ciento del total de indocumentados ha nacido en Mà ©xico. Es decir, aproximadamente 6.5 millones de personas. El segundo paà ­s con mà ¡s indocumentados es El Salvador, con mà ¡s de medio millà ³n, seguido de Guatemala y Honduras. Muchos indocumentados forman parte de los que se conoce como familias mixtas, es decir, uno o varios de sus miembros carecen de estatus legal y otros son residentes permanentes o, incluso, ciudadanos americanos. Se estima que en la actualidad aproximadamente 4 millones de nià ±os estadounidenses tienen al menos un progenitor que es indocumentado. Pero estos infantes nada pueden hacer por sus padres, desde el punto de vista migratorio, hasta cumplir los 21 aà ±os. E incluso entonces no siempre es posible solucionar el problema. Indocumentado e ilegal Sà ­, desde el punto de vista migratorio es lo mismo un indocumentado que un ilegal. Sin embargo, se considera polà ­ticamente incorrecto dentro de la comunidad latina llamar ilegal a una persona sin estatus migratorio en regla. De hecho, existe una fuerte campaà ±a medià ¡tica para conseguir que los medios de comunicacià ³n eviten el uso de esa palabra, que se considera despectiva y que se use exclusivamente la de indocumentado. Quà © les puede suceder a los indocumentados si son detenidos por la migra Los indocumentados pueden ser enviados a prisià ³n mientras se tramita su caso. De hecho, como media cada dà ­a hay mà ¡s de 31 mil migrantes detenidos. Ademà ¡s, pueden ser deportados, expulsados inmediatamente, liberados o pueden incluso en casos muy particulares ajustar su estatus y obtener asà ­ la green card. Cabe destacar que algunos migrantes aunque teà ³ricamente son indocumentados està ¡n protegidos frente a la deportacià ³n, como por ejemplo los muchachos que en su dà ­a aplicaron por DACA y està ¡n renovando el programa. En la actualidad, estas son las  categorà ­as de prioridades de deportacià ³n  establecidas por orden ejecutiva de Donald Trump. Cà ³mo un indocumentado puede regularizar su situacià ³n No es imposible pero es difà ­cil. Y es que a diferencia de lo que ocurre en otros paà ­ses en Estados Unidos no existe la posibilidad de regularizar la situacià ³n por radicar en el paà ­s por un nà ºmero de aà ±os. (No es verdad que si se viven 10 aà ±os se obtiene la green card. Eso es un malentendido de una medida de alivio que existe en algunos casos de procedimientos de deportacià ³n ante un juez migratorio). Estas son 15 posibilidades de legalizacià ³n de indocumentados. En ocasiones es necesario pedir un perdà ³n y obtener su aprobacià ³n. Estas son las opciones para solicitar un perdà ³n migratorio, tambià ©n conocido como waiver. Son situaciones muy particulares y delicadas por lo que es aconsejable hablar con un abogado especialista en esos temas, si es posible y si no al menos ponerse en contacto con una organizacià ³n reputada de ayuda legal a migrantes o con clà ­nicas legales de universidades. Derechos de los indocumentados Uno de los conocimientos mà ¡s importantes para los migrantes indocumentados es  saber cà ³mo hacer para saber si un indocumentado està ¡ detenido por la migra. Tambià ©n es importante saber que se tienen derechos, como a recibir el salario mà ­nimo por el trabajo realizado, a no ser abusado en el trabajo, a recibir ciertas prestaciones sociales, como asistencia mà ©dica de urgencia o alimentos por el programa WIC para lactantes y embarazadas.   Ademà ¡s, algunos estados algunas categorà ­as de  inmigrantes indocumentados son considerados como PRUCOL. En estos casos podrà ­an tener acceso a beneficios sociales de los que con carà ¡cter general està ¡n excluidos los migrantes sin papeles. Asimismo, no olvidar que todos los nià ±os tienen derecho a la educacià ³n obligatoria, sean ellos indocumentados o sà ³lo sus papà ¡s. Estos son los puntos bà ¡sicos que se recomienda conocer sobre el sistema educativo en Estados Unidos.  Todos los nià ±os tienen derecho a la mejor educacià ³n disponible. Es de Justicia y se juegan, en muchos casos, su futuro. Por à ºltimo no olvidar que Estados Unidos es un paà ­s muy grande y que los estados tienen distintas posiciones respecto a los indocumentados. Mientras que algunos permiten derechos como la licencia de manejar otros han aprobado leyes que hacen muy difà ­cil vivir el dà ­a a dà ­a. Es por eso que conviene pensar bien dà ³nde vivir, si es que hay esa opcià ³n. Tambià ©n recordar que algunas ciudades mantienen polà ­ticas pro-inmigrantes. Por ejemplo, convirtià ©ndose en ciudades-santuario que no comparten informacià ³n con Inmigracià ³n o emitiendo I.D. para poder abrir cuentas de banco, canjear cheques, etc. Ademà ¡s, los consulados de varios paà ­ses emiten matrà ­culas consulares que pueden utilizarse como I.D. para gestiones como probar identidad para solicitar permiso de manejar en los estados que lo permiten, etc. Este es un artà ­culo informativo. No es asesorà ­a legal.

The Dream Act Of The Dominican Republic - 872 Words

I have recently learned a close friend of mine may have to move back to the Dominican Republic. Ever since she started high school she dreamed of becoming a professional swimmer. She is the hardest working person I know. I have told her numerous times that if I could, I would trade her my opportunity to go to college because she deserves it a million more times than I do. Knowing that she cannot go to college hinders me. To know that all of her hard work both in her gifted talent and academically will go unrewarded. She is an undocumented student with no help from the government, it is next to impossible for her to attend college. For many years, universities, community groups, immigrants, and churches have been urging Congress to pass the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act. The DREAM Act is a bipartisan agreement that will give young people who were brought to the United States as children a path to legal status and the chance to serve in the military an d go to college. In order to qualify for legal status under the DREAM Act, the student must: †¢ have entered the U.S. before turning 16 †¢ must have lived here for 5 years †¢ must have a high school diploma/ GED †¢ or was accepted into a two-four year university †¢ and they must have good moral character There are many students who feel that furthering their education would be impossible because without financial aid they are unable to afford it.

It has to make the decision covering the entire corporation that is through observing of the standardized business ethics technique to avoid issues in the firm.

Being a five-star hotel, it is only through a useful framework for executing orders which can guarantee this hotel of more profits and the sustainability in the corporate world. Besides, Ermasova, Wagner Nguyen, (2017), reiterates that the hospitality market is fast growing with a large number of people investing in it consequently steering up heavy competition in which if one fails to perform has it is expected, one may face massive losses. Therefore, it is incumbent for this business to foster a good working framework for the people, environment, and the practices for it to achieve the maximum in trading. The resultant will enable them to create internal values and external recognition.

These privileges make them respect their work and ensure that quality is upheld.

Most of them are quite strict because the welfare of a human is mandatory and very tedious and demanding. According to the employees interviewed, they affirmed that they contend with the services they receive from their employer (Hoffman, Frederick Schwartz, 2014).

According to Hartman et al., (2014), it is important to understand that Russia is made up of people from diverse races across the world and thus employing people from all races gives this corporation an added advantage in their work. Besides, they frequently retain students on attachment to work for them. This Issue helps in promoting the talents of young people who are interested in working in hospitality industry.

Their halls are always full of people from the community, more so young generation who are interested in making money. They receive training based on their interests. They at times source talented student from the community and sponsor them especially from humble homes. This statement clearly gives one an overview of how this hotel is slowly helping in uplifting the community and thus providing hope for the families who are being reigned upon by poverty levels in the world. Their national missions and the values are also one area in which they have worked into ensuring it succeeds. For instance, they work towards promoting a s ustainable economy for the employees and the community. According to the report, this is underway since the mechanism in place such has employment and the national talents outline this important undertaking. Apart from the two, skill education and awareness is another key area in which this prowess Institute offers. One of the major functional units in this is the strategic leadership education to the masses. They provide training to its top management on how to run the business efficiently so as to increase the yields at the same time in a healthy manner (Nicholls Hair, 2016). They provide facilitation from experts from different part of the world to provide the service not only to their employees but also to the society. During such missions, the employees are given the opportunity of engagement so that they can unleash their potentiality. As a result, the creation of a plethora of qualified management in the company is enhanced. Additionally, the corporate social responsibility is emphasized and promoted by this hotel. They have constructed several health amenities for the community thus reducing the suffering among those who cannot afford to purchase medications from private hospita ls. Likewise, they have built and equipped some learning institutions in the rural areas of Russia. Therefore, ensuring education is received by all students across the country. The sewerage system within its location and the neighboring community is one of the most admirable (Weiss, 2014). The company through it engineers have ensured that the problems encountered in the past due to poor sewerage system are no longer experienced. Finally, they provide clean water and dumping materials to the nearby schools, homesteads and the health facilities Place Environmental sustainability National Mosco-The Luxury Collection has a very efficient way through which it ensures that the environment remains tidy. One of the major ways through which they enhance this is by being submissive to the environmental standards and assessment. According to their archives, one realizes that they have been awarded several certificates showing that they adhere to the standards provided by the National Environmental Management Authority (NEMA). In a nutshell, DesJardins McCall, (2014), outlines that this company does not breach business laws and thus it is ethically upright. At the same, they have been in the forefront in spearheading of the municipality working standards towards a clean and sustainable city. Moreover, energy management practices exercised in this company is amazing. They have employed the use of green energy in their operations. The board of the directorate decided that it was important for them to apply the utilization of the organic type of energy so as to reduce e nvironmental degradation. For instance, they manufacture their electricity by use of waste products and human refuse. Consequently, this will help in reducing the amount of trash being disposed into the surrounding and thus safeguarding Gaia from depletion of the ozone layer. Furthermore, their windows are fitted with insulation panels so as to trap enough heat from the sun. For that reason, the usage of electricity all the time is reduced (Halinen Jokela, 2016). They also rate the consumption of their electricity so as to provide a framework through which they can come up with a guideline on how to reduce its consumption. Water usage is also one of the practices in which this restaurant has devised to reduce wastage. One of the leading ethical practices is by comparing its usage by backdating on the accounts concerning water payments. This way will help them in initiating the best way possible of conserving this important type of commodity. More so, they have a framework through w hich their employees and the community are taught the proper ways to which water usage is minimized. Heritage building sustainability is also embraced upon by National Mosco-The Luxury Collection. This hotel was built in early 19th-century, and it has remained beautiful over the years as a five-star hotel. It remains has the historic five-star hotel whose design and dcor is incomparable in Russia up to date. It has suites adorned with authentic and scarce Russian architecture which is very compelling to the customers. It has had a rare Russian antiques such has statutes and painting, vases, mirrors and lamps portraying undying culture Grosser et al., (2014). This serves as a lesson to different generations on the significance of maintaining the culture to be used as a learning material for the upcoming stages. The fact that this corporation has never been compelled to change its sculpture into the modern one shows that it values integrity, an imperative aspect in human anatomy. This maintenance of the historical sustainable hotel is essential since culture is predominant and one oug ht to preserve it. From the figure 1.1.2, one can have a different point of view of the building since it only portrays historical phenomena in shape, sculpture and design (Wilson, 2017). Therefore, it is one's duty to maintain so that the norms may always be sustained. The materials used in the building of this hotel are gold and diamond and fitted with traditional porcelain so as to provide an exceptional beauty which can be sustained for a long duration. According to the research carried, it depicted that the suppliers to the hotel are certified. It came into one's knowledge that they are taken through a vigorous exercise to check whether they are compliant with the norms before being given the opportunity to trade with the firm. Therefore, ensuring safety is maintained in the company in all areas regarding food, detergents and so forth (Beschorner Hajduk, 2017). This company has adhered to the rules and the regulation pertaining business ethics. For instance, the stakeholders a re taken care of as expected. The employees and the suppliers are paid on time. More so, the community is respected since the wastes materials are disposed of responsibly, they initiate education and sanitation for the wellbeing of the surroundings. Practices marketing performance This part is also very necessary in trying to evaluate the submission of the National Mosco-The Luxury Collection to business ethics rules and regulations. Foremost, the current marketing situation in Russia is pivotal to understand so as to scrutinize the performance of this hotel in an authentic manner (Crane Matten, 2016). Russia is ranked as the fifth country in the world in tourism business and the nine positions in cultural tourism making it one of the most preferred travel places in the world. In this part, one will delve upon PESTEL and SWOT technique in evaluating business ethics and trends respectively in this business. Political situation Russia is endowed with a good security which is favorable for trading activities. This gives the corporation the impetus to carry out their business without fear. Likewise, the trading policies are not harsh since one is expected have trading licenses and few legal compliance certificate before commencing the business thus favoring traders such as National Mosco-The Luxury Collection (Shaw, 2016). The trading policies are within the limit, and it is simple for this Endeavour since it has been in the market for a length of time. Economic situation Trading in Russia is quite easy since their interests rates from the bank are within the limits of the business holders. The exchange rates are not a big problem since Russia is classified among the five most economic stable giants in the world (Sehitoglu, Ross Kseoglu, 2017). Therefore, the chances of losses in businesses are seldom. Its economic growth is massive given that it is among the best imports and export markets in the world. Social situation Russia is very populated country due to the impulse of people travelling in and outside the country. They experience an influx of tourists each year thus trading is profitable (Baumane-V?toli?a et al., 2017). Moreover, it is made up of learned population necessitating broad qualified employees in enterprises. It also has good social amenities such as schools and health centers which are crucial for a sustainable nation. The majority of its population is young people who are considered energetic in running the economy. Technological situation Russia has embraced modern technology, and that is why it is the super power country in the world (Bowie, 2017). Therefore, goods and services are delivered using the advanced technology which eases trading activities between the consumers and the buyers. Environmental status According to Chell et al., (2016), Russia is considered one of the most ethical countries. The hotel in our case is thus entitled to source its products ethically from the surroundings. For instance, cases of corruption are minimal and thus giving room for free and fair bidding for tenders. Such practices give people an aspiration to do trading activities leading to a wide range of qualified personnel in the trading field. Legal matters The consumers are not exploited through sub-standardized products due to the stringent measures put in place by the government (Weiss, 2017). Their health and safety are safeguarded by ensuring traders adhere to set laws. Apart from PESTEL, one will delve upon SWOT analysis so as to outline the trends in the National Mosco-The Luxury Collection. Strengths This hotel has a large number of customers who visits the hotel on a regular basis and thus their profitability margin is always maintained. Likewise, the CSR practiced has enabled it to create a full spectrum of a qualified workforce. Weakness The constant change in management due to upcoming hospitality businesses as a result of better wages elsewhere has caused it to slow at a given point (Grant, Arjoon McGhee, 2016). This problem has led to poor services to the customers and thus disappointment leading to reduced number of consumers around. Opportunities This hotel serves as a historical monument for the Russians, and thus people all over the world visits it regularly; therefore, facing competition from the new and upcoming five-star hotels is impossible (Ferrell Fraedrich, 2015). It is also used in holding government meetings as a result of its great nature reminding Russians of the culture in an explicit manner. 10 Threads The growing hospitality industry within the heart of Mosco with the same taste copied from National Mosco-The Luxury Collection has proved futile to this company. Most clients are diverting their attention to such causing a massive blow to this Endeavour. Theoretical framework National Mosco-The Luxury Collection applies the business ethics and conceptual theory in running its business activities. According to business ethics theory advanced by Beadle, (2017), all corporations are subject to a clear modus operandi of operating the revenue-generating project. It further explicates that the firm should follow the correct guideline of employing, tendering, and ensuring that corporate social responsibility is followed. On the other hand, conceptual theory dictates that the business enterprise should be subjected to a smooth coordination within its range. By so, they must have an excellent integration with its employees and the stakeholders. Conclusion According to the report, one finds that this hotel follows the business ethics to the latter. Other business organizations should be encouraged to follow the proper example in which National Mosco-The Luxury Collection has shown in the hospitality industry. In spite of being old, it has shown a good example to the general public on matters to do with exercising healthy commercial activities. The building itself is a true reflection on how one should embrace upon traditional sculpture so as to reconstruct our ethical standards in the world. Recommendations During our research, one realized that there was some broken old porcelain in the building. Therefore, it is incumbent for them to replace with new ones since finding such material elsewhere in the world is possible. Secondly, one realized that their cooking techniques despite being ethical, they are too outdated as a result of tradition. They should embrace modern styles so as to uphold and appreciate technology. Thirdly, the place is full of traditional material which according to my opinion, they should construct a museum citing they have a large compound around. This new business within will increase the number of visitors. Fourthly, some employees are not courteous, and thus the company should take and initiative of improving on that matter. Finally, the remunerations offered are unethical given that their business is quite profitable. It is necessary for them to adjust the payment of their workers so as to avoid frequent leaving for better pastures.

The Glass Menagerie A Study In Symbolism Essays -

The Glass Menagerie: A Study In Symbolism The Glass Menagerie: A Study in Symbolism In the drama, The Glass Menagerie (1945), Tennessee Williams reflects upon personal experiences he and his family encountered during the Depression of the 1930's. As a lower class family, the characters are placed in the slums of St. Louis in 1935. The protagonist, Tom Wingfield, is the narrator and Williams' surrogate. Living with his mother and sister, Tom supports them by working in a shoe manufacturing warehouse. He should feel lucky to have this job; however, he despises his work and dreams of leaving to become a Merchant Marine. Unhappy with what life has dealt him, Tom strives for adventure and longs to turn his back on his responsibilities. His mother, Amanda Wingfield, abandoned by her husband almost sixteen years ago, tries to keep her family together through tough times. Although her love and hopes for her children are sincere, her overbearing and outspoken nature often hurts them. Laura, Tom's sister, suffers from neuroses. She has trouble separating fantasy from reality. Without the ability to function in the outside world, Laura becomes a liability to both Tom and Amanda. The gentleman caller, Jim O'Connor, is a friend of Tom's from the warehouse. He is an ambitious young man, who strives for the American Dream through hard work and optimism. Jim offers the Wingfields hope for the future: Tom: He is the most realistic character in the play, being an emissary from a world of reality that we were somehow set apart from. But since I have a poet's weakness for symbols, I am using this character also as a symbol; he is the long- delayed but always expected something that we live for (23). Williams gives the reader many emblems throughout the play; there are three of them are especially interesting. The unicorn symbolizes Laura's uniqueness, the picture of Mr. Wingfield represents his strong influence on his deserted family, and Malvolio's coffin trick signifies Tom's suffocating lifestyle. The unicorn is a symbolic representation of ways that Laura is unique or unusual. The first facet of the unicorn, its horn, refers to ways that Laura is an unusual person, such as in her may escape mechanisms. Laura's escape devices include her glass menagerie, listening to records on the Victrola, and visiting the park and zoo. Laura identifies with her glass menagerie because she has trouble identifying with the real world, the pieces are small and delicate, just as she is. The Victrola is a reminder of Mr. Wingfield; Laura often plays records to avoid the present and thinks pleasantly about the times she had with her father. When Laura stopped going to Rubicam's Business College, she would spend many of her days at the zoo or park. She was a nature lover and thought of these places as very peaceful and beautiful, a sharp contrast to her real life. The fragility of the unicorn, its second part, recalls Laura's delicate psychological condition. Laura's emotional problems caused many difficulties in her life. While in high school, Laura was very self-conscious about the brace she had to wear, as evidenced in the following passage: Laura: I had that brace on my leg -- it clumped so loud! Jim: I never heard any clumping. Laura: To me it sounded like -- thunder! Jim: Well, well, well, I never even noticed. Laura: And everybody was seated before I came in. I had to walk in front of all those people. My seat was in the back row. I had to go clumping all the way up the aisle with everyone watching! Jim: You shouldn't have been self-conscious. Laura: I know, but I was (93). Laura suffered all the way through high school. Unfortunately, she scored poorly on her final examinations and dropped out of school. After such a failure, her fragile self-esteem dropped from low to almost non-existent, and she could not face going back. Six years later, with pressure from her mother, Laura took another stab at education. She enrolled at Rubicam's Business College. However, Laura only made it to the first test. As the test began, she vomited on the floor and had to be carried to the bathroom. Laura never returned to school, and once again her fragile emotions got the
