Resiliency is one concept that has never been the human races forte. Many things that happen in our current day and age require a great deal of perseverance and resiliency. People often will give in to the problems in their lives and learn to accept them, instead of persevering through them and working out the issues. The fact of the matter is, if you learn to persevere through problems, your life will be a lot more happy and pleasant to live.

Scene Analysis of Scene Seven of A Streetcar Named Desire As a connection to Stanley’s questioning Blanche about her affair in the “Hotel Flamingo” in Scene Five, Scene Seven starts with his revelation of Blanche’s past life in Laurel. Having “thoroughly checked on [the] stories” (187) about what Blanche has done there, Stanley is confident to nail the “pack of lies” (186) that are used so skilfully to deceive Stella and Mitch – she has never been kissed by a fellow and she quits her job because of her poor nerves. The competition between the two extreme, dominating powers of Blanche and Stanley is one of the main concerns in the development of the play. In Scene Seven, Tennessee Williams, the playwright of the play, delicately renders the shift of dominating power from Blanche to Stanley through the Stella’s response about the “stories”. At first, Stella reacts strongly to the stories about Blanche’s past life, stating them as “contemptible lies” (187); however, her strong defence of Blanche is gradually defeated by Stanley’s powerful statements and reliable evi...

Put the money into the Kentucky economy or into the Kentucky job markets, or better yet into education so all of Kentucky can live better off.
