Draw the character sketch of Angie in "Fly like an eagle"
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Joyce’s sixteen-year-old adoptive daughter Angie is odd, quiet, and stunted. She is a lonely girl, whose only friend, Kit, is four years younger than her. Angie expresses a keen desire to kill her mother—but also admits to Kit that she knows that her true mother is Joyce’s sister, Marlene. Angie dresses in clothes that are too small for her—notably, a fancy dress Marlene gave to Angie on a previous visit—and speaks in simple, clipped, occasionally disjointed sentences. Angie travels to London to see Marlene, longing to spend time with her aunt and confessing that the day of Marlene’s last visit, one year earlier, was the best day of her whole life. Angie has a fear of being unwanted or rejected, which seems to stem from the fact that she has figured out the truth of her parentage. Angie’s odd behavior, violent impulses, and fear of abandonment are symbolic of Churchill’s own frustrations with the values of contemporary “feminism”—values which prize individualism, aloofness, and self-serving behavior over basic human empathy and care for others, which are, unfortunately, seen as weaknesses or burdens within a patriarchal society.
