Julio’s comment about the treatment of women in the Pentecostal church shows how religion has manipulated women like Blanca into positions where they are expected to be directed and restrained by others. The inclusion of the pastor in the list of glorified roles shows that religion is held to such a high degree that it should be included on the same level of need as any other family member like a husband or child. Religious followers often have specific symbols that represent their religion in their lives or an object that they hold sacred because it represents their faith in their beliefs. However, the people of the Pentecostal church have placed their representation of faith into the pastor and made
When women commit a shocking crime or murder, they are most likely to kill the people who are closest to them.

She was the first woman to be executed in the United States since 1984, and the first in Texas since 1863 when Chipita Rodriguez was hanged for killing a horse trader.

Also killed was an overnight guest, Deborah Thornton” (Hoppe).

James, the author of Daisy Miller, shows, the game Daisy plays creates sticky situations as well as troublesome sprees. The game implies a complicated way for a girl to get the guy to ask her out without telling him to ask her out. Daisy flirts with Winterbourne the next few days in Vevey until Winterbourne ruins their last day together saying the most stupid thing. "It is a melancholy fact that I shall have to return to Geneva to-morrow," (James 29) Winterbourne inconsiderately informed Daisy, in Chillon Castle.

‘Annabel Lee’ by Edgar Allan Poe is an eminently beautiful yet tragic poem centred around the theme of a forbidden love between two people, and the many obstacles that they overcome in order to be together. At the same time the poem relates back to a man’s undying love for his wife in which even death is unable to hinder.

As this was written by Poe and shown from
