I knew her heart must be broken into a million pieces. She just remained motionless on her feet. The silence took over the house; it felt like everything was passing in slow motion, so I had to just walk out. My mother followed me and said “Maybe you shouldn’t come back home!” And then slammed the door like
"Oriental Poppies" almost looks like a close up photograph. O’Keeffe’s painting incorporated photographic techniques such as cropping and close-ups. This oil painting is an explosion of radiant colors on canvas, lending a compelling effect. O'Keeffe used dazzling red and orange as the main color of the petals. The skillful shading and smooth finish of the petals draw attention to the vibrancy of the flowers.
When she had to flee because she was a mutant David lost a big part of himself too. A quote from the book that describes David`s feelings are “I lay, there, picturing Sophie and her parents plodding their way southward towards the dubious safety of the Fringes, and and hoping desperately that they would be far enough off now for my betrayal not to hurt them.”(pg.53) This passage clearly shows David`s and Sophie’s great friendship because it uses words like desperately and not to hurt them which show how much David cared for Sophie.

She later travels to Poland to find “the maker of the spells”, revealing how the story has developed her relationship with Gemma and now become part of her own life “I’m going to solve it, the riddle, the mystery and the enigma”. Through the constant retelling of the story, and the understanding of its importance to not only Gemma but also to Becca, the audience realises the value of all tales, whether containing truth or not, in our
Weil speaks upon the necessity to obey our conscience naturally because it is the right thing to do. In “Necessity and Obedience” Weil says that “If we suspend the fillingup activity of the imagination and fix our attention on the relationship of things, a necessity becomes apparent which we cannot help obeying.” (Weil 96). Weil is simply saying that if we stop focusing on objects and things that benefit our needs, we will experience pure satisfaction doing good deeds for those around us with no yearn for rewards or praise from others. In contrary to Weils belief, the grandmother acts upon “necessity” much more selfishly than Weil. “I couldn’t answer to my conscience if I did” (O’Connor 1), is an important line in O’Connor’s story because it is the first time that the grandmother reveals her selfish intentions and manipulative personality.

The Riglers defined their role in caring for Genie as hoping to be able to rehabilitate her. They knew she needed a great deal of help and they liked the fact that they thought they could help her. 5) Yes, I think the motives of Susan Curtiss were different from those of the Riglers because Susan just wanted Genie to live her life and learn in hopes that she would live a normal life. I think the Riglers wanted to do more of experiment with Genie rather than just be her adopted parents and raise her with the help she needed. Susan was helping her learn to talk and practicing what she had just graduated from school for on Genie to help her.
