The Other Mother In Coraline By Neil Gaiman

Throughout the story she places judgement, she lies and manipulates her family, and she proves to only care for herself. She does all of this while claiming to be a lady, and holding herself is higher regard than everyone else around her. She continually shows that she is not lady, and she is also doing the things that she looks down upon other for, This is an example of a true hypocrite. Another shining example of her hypocrisy is shown when she brings up religion when speaking to The Misfit. “Do you ever pray?(258).”

She continuously brings innocent people into the mess, like on page 162, Tituba and her name off random citizens in the town and wrongly accuse them of being with the devil. This just makes the story an even bigger

Her mother is not portrayed like this, she is seen as having a no-nonsense attitude, making her reliable but not as likable. His biggest form of manipulation is flattery. Her dad keeps pelting her with compliments, gifts, and surprises like when he treats her to dinner at a new diner, “‘There’s a new diner, opened right around the block.

Secrets eat away at the soul, wearing it down piece by piece until there is nothing left. This causes guilt to completely cloud a vision of a person making sure the secret is concealed. This leads to the person to become consumed by the secret and can damage a person into becoming ill for keeping confidentiality. The soul suffers from containing the truth becomes ill as well.

Brian’s and Jeannette’s acquaintanceship started back when the first established in Blythe.

In Harlan Coben’s article “The Undercover Parent” (2008), the author claims that parents should protect their children by getting spyware on their devices to protect them from the dangers of the Internet.

Coben writes in an informational and conversational tone for parents to understand him in order to protect their children against the dangers of the internet.

Overall, Mrs. Walker’s archetypes of greed led to her own

Being sheltered since birth from evil and poverty she is loving and caring for all those around her no matter where they live or what they look like because she sees the good in all people around

In the beginning she is described as almost an antagonist, but as the story carries on, she shows her love for

We see her selfishness when her kids are hungry and notice food has been missing. The only person who knew who stole it was the person who took it. The girls later find out that their mother had been hiding food to eat for herself. We also notice her selfishness when she doesn’t feel like working. She doesn’t like teaching.
