- He had a partner who was pregnant.
- He said he was going to find a flat in Luton which he never recovered.
- He is opportunistic however, an irresponsible father.
- He shifted a scheme that involved the sales of carpets.
- Relationship between Lucy and Brian.
The relationship between Lucy and the Father is presented through Lucy’s memory that was considered to be approximately shabby. He was hardly present in her parenting. However, he tried to make up for the lost time by taking her to the funfair or buying her sweets, such as candyfloss. Lucy’s father, who can be described as selfish, was seldom there in Lucy’s life. As a result, Lucy only remembers little information concerning her father.
- Difference between Lucy and Maureen.
The writer uses contrast in verbs to differentiate the personality of the two individuals. Accurate and well-considered terminologies are used for the practical support of the comments, as portrayed below.
- The writer describes Maureen as a constant figure who only changes in slow motion while Lucy is a curious and hardworking person and does not admit defeat.
- Maureen is judged to be unable to confront serious universe questions and is hardly seen to be inspirational.
- The writer tells us that as a young woman, Maureen has been harassed and loving. However, as an older woman, she is described to be cheerful and opinionated.
- On Lucy, the writer tells us that she is was not like her mother and is not easy going.
- Lucy’s disapproval is shown in her knotted mouth, which shows her temper as she burst out her replies.
- The writer uses various adjectives like competent, combative, and enterprising, to describe Lucy.
- Lucy seems to question and assertive while Maureen is passive and resigned to live.
- Brian and Maureen’s relationship expression.
The answers below find the intense frustration of Maureen in her passivity and sympathy. Accurately a well-considered relevant terminology is used to support the comment effectively. Maureen is seen to be a partial character. Her husband leaves her gently, easing himself out with two small children with another one on the way. Maureen could be seen as either cruelly deceived or foolish in the relationship. She seems to be loyal and is convinced that the husband is busy and even feels sorry for him. Perhaps this is due to her intense frustration. She is a strong woman since she is dogged and moves no with it even if she resigns from life. Brian, on the other hand, is a selfish and devious husband. On his return, he brings tom his children present and his wife’s night of love. His hugs diminish to phone calls, which he ends up hanging. His absence becomes more prolonged and more significant. His contact is reduced to infrequent phone calls, and there is no difference between his presence and love. Love and his present seem to be empty. The relationship is one-sided, and Maureen is deceived and exploited. The writer portrays these through the interaction of these characters and the thoughts and tones of Maureen.
- How the writer evaluates Lucy’s Mother.
I think that, to some extent, Lucy’s mother is too passive. The writers show how she is humiliated by various people, which makes me feel so sorry for her. After a lifetime disappointment, she resigns from her situation, as portrayed by the writer. With all these that she goes through, her endless betrayal and humiliation, we expect her to be angry. However, she reacts to all of these without bitterness. The writer uses Lucy’s reactions to the treatments of her mother for guiding the reader. She understands that she is burdened by poverty and children but is still resilient ad doggedly protective. Her survival tactic is keeping her head down. He grins and bears it and does not question her life. As much as Lucy is maddened and questions some of her mother’s attitudes, she adores her, thinking that she has gained sharp wits from her time. Lucy is used as a way of exploring Maureen characters by the writer. She should provoke a complex nature due to her complex life.
Section B
Competition.
Competition is an unavoidable part of life. It is the act of ensuring that others do not beat us. We often try to rise above others even if we don’t realize that we are doing it. Competition is portrayed at a very tender age of the children’s life when they are engaged in the sports programs are asked to perform their best. Race for the achievement of high-grade marks is also placed among the children, and this lasts in the entire career of an individual. It is the stable and most necessary influence on the children. However, not every practice is perfect for everyone. Some of the students may feel unnecessary pressure due to the responsibilities put on them. It affects some of them since they may not be tolerant of high demand.

It is measured in terms of achievements, and this is through what an individual has done differently from the other.

Various firms also portray competition. Customer satisfaction is the number one priority for multiple companies. With completion, the companies get to produce the best quality goods, which is advantageous to the customer. Take off a case where business in a country is monopolized. The companies may be reluctant to producing quality goods. Furthermore, competition leads to the production of products at economical prices. With the other companies in the market, firms are forced to charge fair prices since if they tend to increase the amount, the consumers will go for the substitute goods. It also creates ethical behaviors among companies.
A healthy nation is a wealthy nation. Competition leads to robust business in a country. These ensure adequate revenue to the economy leading to economic growth. It also leads to awareness and penetration of the market. The more the completion, the more the knowledge of the product. The rise of end pushes up an idea, and when it catches, it leads to a product accepting the product’s better acceptance.
