Recommended: Overcoming obstacles conclusion

This week, I got the chance to interview Maggie McMinn. I learned a lot of new stuff about her that I hadn’t already known. She’s a pretty amazing girl. Maggie was born on January 29, 2001. She is thirteen years old. She has one sister that annoys her a lot. She lives in Mayfield Kansas. She enjoys playing volleyball and softball. If Maggie could change one thing about herself it would be to make her less shy and less quiet around big crowds. If Maggie could switch places with someone in the world it would be a with a kid in Africa because she knows that they are less fortunate and she wants to see how they feel about the situation they are in. A new law she would inforce would be to make things more equal because she thinks things still …show more content…

She would save the rest for college and things she’ll need later on in life. Maggie said that if she had one day left she would spend it with friends and family. She would also fix any problems she had with people so she would have no regrets. Maggie's’ biggest pet peeve is being rushed. She wants to go to college at KU because some of her family went there and she just loves the school. She also loves the team KU. Her goals in life are to be successful and make a lot of money. The profession she wants to do is something in business or be a sportsmanager. Her plan is to be a sportsmanager or to be a business woman. Maggie’s ideal vacation would be going to Italy. She has always wanted to go there so it would be an amazing experience. She also love Italian food. If Maggie could live anywhere in the world, she would live where she lives right now. Mayfield Kansas is where she wants to live because she’s grown to love it. Around this time of year in ten years Maggie wants to be in college or maybe finished or almost finished and be successful in what she would be doing. In fifteen years she still hopes to be living in Kansas but if job opportunities come up she could be anywhere. Also if she meets anyone she could be anywhere with them and working and being

    ...have been handed down from generation to generation, and that in itself is admirable. But since the narrator wants more for the quilts, I agree with her decision. I am sure the quilts would look nice hung on a wall, but I think that they would be enjoyed more on a bed or couch, as Maggie would use them. It is also what her grandma and other older generations would have wanted. These quilts were made to be used. And as they become tattered, she can repair them and even add to them. I think Maggie would get the most enjoyment of them.

  • Social Realism In Maggie

    1376 Words  | 3 Pages

    Maggie: A Girl of the Streets, is a realist outlook on the gritty underside of Industrialized America. It is a story that doesn't withhold the dirt and grime that came with living in highly populated impoverished areas. The young Stephen Crane does a very good job portraying the destruction of a young, beautiful, and optimistic Maggie by forces outside of her own control. The rather dreary realism of the novel was a little unheard of at the time. Crane had to publish his book himself, as no publishers wanted to take the chance on a novel so negative about human nature. However, over time his story quickly cemented its roots as a fundamental column of American Realism Literature.

  • Compare And Contrast I Stand Here Ironing And Everyday Use

    In this story, Maggie is a lot like her mother. They both are uneducated, loving, caring, and allow Dee to run over them. Maggie has been through more things than her mother has though, because of the incident that happened. Maggie has scars like Emily, except Maggie’s scars are from a house fire (319). The house fire has impacted Maggie’s life tremendously, since she is very self-conscious and shy. Walker stated that Maggie is “ashamed of the burn scars down her arms and legs (318). The mother is protective of Maggie and will be there for her whenever she needs her too. Even though her mother knows all her struggles, she still supports her and pushes her to be better. I think that is one reason she pushes her to marry John Thomas, because she wants her to become her own person and to be strong (319). The mother of “Everyday Use” is opposite from the mother in “I Stand Here Ironing”, because she is there for her children no matter what their financial status

    "Maggie will be nervous until after her sister goes: she will stand hopelessly in corners, homely and ashamed of the burn scars down her arms and legs, eying her sister with a mixture of envy and awe."(61) She is afraid of being weak and unable to project her happiness with the life she has chosen. Maggie attempts to remain quiet and reserved during the visit of her sister. The difference of their lifestyle interpretations is one of humble to extravagant. Unlike other young women, Maggie continues to live in an un-educated world where happiness is formed in the heart, not with possessions.

    ...have been like some hundred years ago. It is rare now to find someone that is willing to put forth the work necessary to actually get anything productive done, when not long ago people spend every moment of every day working with their bare hands in an attempt to make a living for themselves as well as their families. Willa Cather is one of the few individuals that actually comprehends what it means to work, and how important said work is when it is your only source of income is the crop that does not yield anything helpful without human intervention. To someone that lives out in a place like Nebraska, the inner city can seem incredibly tempting. The lights and noise and comfort of the city are something that the settlers in Nebraska would give anything for. In the case of Georgiana, even a taste of this lifestyle is enough to push you into wanting to stay forever.

  • The Importance Of Naturalism In 'Maggie: A Girl Of The Steets'

    1307 Words  | 3 Pages

    Right away, Crane paints the picture of the poor environment filled with violent children standing “upon a heap of gravel for the honor of Rum Alley,” (Crane, 1). The setting is described as being on the outskirts of any civilization, gruesome, and chaotic. Maggie is clearly the victim of the terrible environment she is put in. Despite being the only flower in a heap of mud and filth, she still couldn’t fully bloom. Crane, in a way, shows naturalism differently than other writers, since Maggie isn’t directly as effected by her environment as her family and neighbors are. When she found Peter, she knew thought she knew, that he was her opportunity to escape from that environment. Being the high- hoping type of girl, in such a limited environment, she saw Peter as her knight in shining armor. True, Peter was rich enough, but he wasn’t the perfect man, the man of the highest standards that she thought him to be. She failed to see that Peter possessed the wild and boyish qualities as her brother and the rest of the violent neighborhood kids. Being in such a class and raised the way she was, she didn’t have the ability to truly see Peter and society as a whole. That, along with her terrible life, family, and environment was what led her to her horrible fate. Cane wrote Maggie’s death very vaguely, as if her short life was meaningless to the universe. No one truly cared about Maggie’s death, showing how life goes on no matter

  • Major Character Analysis in Maggie a Girl of the Streets and The Awakening

    1989 Words  | 4 Pages

    Maggie lives with a poor and dysfunctional family and a hopeless future with only the small possibility of change. The environment and setting she grows up in do not support anything more than a dull, dreary and pathetic future for her. An old woman asks Maggie's brother Jimmy: "Eh, Gawd, child, what is it this time? Is yer fader beatin yer mudder, or yer mudder beatin yer fader? (Maggie, 10)" while he runs to Maggie's apartment one night. The lack of love and support of her family hinders Maggie's ability to live a happy and fulfilling life. Without knowing that someone loves her no matter what she does or how she acts Maggie may feel desperate enough to change her situation by any means she can, and without any useful guidance. Even without any positive influences Maggie grows up different from the low-life's living with and around her. Crane explains Maggie's uniqueness in the passage "None of the dirt of Rum Alley seemed to be in her veins. The philosophers up-stairs, down-stairs and on the same floor, puzzled over it" (Maggie 16). Maggie's uniqueness gives her the chance to improve her life, but only a slim chance. Even though Maggie differs from the people around her they remain sleazy, making it harder for her to change her life because she must go outside of her community for help.

And the appearance influences the character: everybody is satisfied with Lucy and that is why Lucy is satisfied with herself. Maggie on the contrary is viewed as almost an idiot in her effort to be admired and loved.
