Oct. 12, 2012 Write 3 The Pressures of Society In the world today, society has a great control over the social order of life and can pressure people into unwelcome circumstances. In fact, fiction authors, such as Kate Chopin and Shirley Jackson, replicate society pressures in their short stories. This pressure for their characters, Tessie Hutchinson from ?The Lottery? and Desiree Aubigny from ?Desiree?s Baby,? leads to death. These two stories can be compared by focusing on the demands of society, the reaction of the main characters, and the outcome of the conflict.

Jung 3 YeonJun Jung Mrs. Pelosi AP Language 7th Jan. 2010 Seminar notes Passage: pg. 14 on PDF The frightening thing, he reflected for the ten thousandth time as he forced his shoulders painfully backward (with hands on hips, they were gyrating their bodies from the waist, an exercise that was supposed to be good for the back muscles)--the frightening thing was that it might all be true. If the Party could thrust its hand into the past and say of this or that event, IT NEVER HAPPENED--that, surely, was more terrifying than mere torture and death?
