“Party Games: The Art of Stealing Elections in the Late-Nineteenth-Century United States,” written by Mark Wahlgren Summers, discusses the elements of trickery and manipulation utilized by Democrats, Republican, and Populists during the Gilded Age in efforts to get their party’s candidate(s) into office. As the text points out, “the broad range of party tricks obscured the people’s will, occasionally thwarted it, and cast a moral cloud over the winner’s title” (425). All of these political schemes that the parties in the Gilded Age were privy to, basically made a mockery of the democracy in the United States. Instead of being represented by the people, America was represented by a bunch of scoundrels, also known as politicians.
In doing so, she was able to infer information about their unknown personal conditions and emotions that was not depicted by their “co-workers” or managers. “His [Willie] fingers are clasped and his mouth agape, as if waiting inspection -or maybe a whack on the head”, states Macy, “Between the tight suits and off-center bowties, ‘they were dressed with some care for the ruse but not really that much attention to detail” (pg.101). With one souvenir post-card, the author was able to interrupt and draw conclusions about how they boys were treated.

Helen recoils and breaks free then tries to get it again and she keeps getting blocked out by Helen. Then the family tells her to just let Helen be and Annie just tells the family to leave the dining room. She then fights over making Helen be civil at the table for several hours.

The scene starts with Helen and Annie in the dining room after Helen has returned to the Keller house after her exile with Annie.

By the 1960s, the history of fast food added another important chapter when children’s menus became a standardized part of some of the most popular restaurant chains and advertisers began to focus marketing efforts at children. With the family-oriented culture in America at that time, focused heavily on children first, fast food restaurant excursions were fun and affordable family affairs offering culinary delights for all
(Greenidge, 59). When Annie then argues that her mother is projecting all of her problems onto her, “...All my life you treating me like I you. You punishing me like I you” (Greenidge, 60), she is asserting her
The thimble in the passage plays an important role in depicting the relationship between Annie and her mother. “Inside, however, the thimble that weighed worlds spun around and around; as it spun, it bumped up against my heart, my chest, my stomach, and whatever it touched felt as if I had been scorched there” (Page 101). Jamaica King uses the stylistic technique of a metaphor (when comparing Annie’s sadness inside to a thimble) to show how Annie is feeling, which helps show the relationship between her and her mother. The thimble is a result of Annie’s sadness regarding her mom. Ever since they have been spending less time together, sadness has built up inside of Annie.

Annie is a recluse, living far away from town on a farm, where she spends her days “feeding the animals, cleaning the stalls…” (p.24). Dirty jobs that are usually associated with men’s work. She appears throughout the novel to not only have the strength: “it was a struggle getting you to the truck, but I’m a big woman…” (p.14), but the aggressiveness seen by Paul as “she stabled him with it half a dozen times” (p.242) and felt by Paul when “she rushed across the room at him,
The story’s suspense goes up and down. The author of the story, Stella Duffy, elegantly uses literary devices to add flavor to the story. Hints are given early on, that the reader may only notice at the second or third read through, and foreshadowings are used in the story. A great example of a foreshadowing is on the last page in lines 166-177.
