They weren't only the audience, not only looking on; they were acting.” ❏ She is excited about having an almond in her cake which is very minuscule ❏ Towards the end of the story she begins to cry, hinting at herself realizing she is alone ❏ Miss Brill in my opinion is a widow ❏ The story was written in 1920 and it was very rare for a woman to not marry ❏ Perhaps the reason she made such a big deal about everything in the park is to help herself forget about her husband ❏ Perhaps her and husband used to go there every Sunday and that is why she attends by herself ❏ At the end of the story it reads, “She unclasped the necklet quickly; quickly, without looking, laid it inside. But when she put the lid on she thought she heard something crying.” ❏ Perhaps the reason she unclasps it quickly without looking is because it was a necklet that her husband and given to her and that is the reason for the
I believe this was meant to be interpreted in two ways: her eyes are closed and her head is back as she is absorbing all she can about the play that is being read due to her deep passion for theatre, but it also accurately illustrates her laziness with the girls. Mary walks in late, but because she has flowers Mrs. Mortar doesn’t do anything about it, and when Karen comes in she notifies her of how she had been late for breakfast that morning and the week before as well, but nothing was done about that either. When literally looking at the character Lilly Mortar it seems as if she has no purpose other than to annoy everyone, especially her niece Martha; however, if the reader really looks deep into her character, it is apparent that if not for her Martha may never have known her true self. The argument the two of them had about Mrs. Mortar parting
After a Death by Roo Borson 410182017 王彥翔 I think this poem is absolutely stunning because of the vivid imagery that is set up in such a simple short poem. I like this poem because it sets up such a strong feeling of sadness and comfort in only eight lines. Although she doesn’t directly tell us she has truly lost someone, we can obviously observe that the speaker uses a chair for a metaphor of the girl’s love toward the lost lover. However, the speaker doesn’t exactly explain her love. In the poem, "her love" may be talking about her father or a lover because the poem is unclear.
In the beginning of the book the narrator describes seeing her mom digging through a trash can and then decides to have lunch with her. All of this talking with her mom makes her remember the horrible childhood she went through. When she was three years old her mom wasn’t watching her while letting her cook hotdogs. She ended up catching her dress on fire and had to be hospitalized for six days. Her dad took her away from the hospital without paying and soon after her mom was letting her cook again, as she called it, “Getting right back into the saddle.” At such a young age Jeannette didn’t take any anger out on her parents and soon took interest to fire.
In the poem In The Park, the woman pretends to someone that her little bundles-of-joy are just that, angelic children. As he walks away however, she confesses to nobody that ‘they have eaten me alive.’ This expression demonstrates the feeling of being alone and ignored. The mother in Suburban Sonnet expresses her anxiety in trying to achieve with small children. The mother is overwhelmed by how much she has to do – cook dinner, clean up after her children, keep them entertained and comfort them, presenting the views of many mothers. The language Gwen Harwood uses in these poems emphasises the feeling of drained energy and failure in other aspects of their lives (for example fugue playing).
When George and Lennie are loading up the truck with the bags of grains together she comes and tries to impress someone and notices something “Why can’t I talk to you? I never get to talk to nobody… I get awful lonely…” she says (pg.87) this shows she gets lonely when she doesn’t talk to all other people and have new people to talk to. This also relates to the theme of loneliness since she even says she is in it and also she has nothing to do really. In this part of the scene however they did have a good ending point since they sat and talked but she just goes around with no thoughts about anything. This goes back to character versus character since there are two people talking or acting with each other and it is conflict.
In the Grimm’s version of Cinderella (628-633), the day of the wedding Ashputtle begs to go.

Of Mice and Men 5 Paragraph Essay Loneliness is someone who is alone all the time, and has no one to talk to. In the story Of Mice and Men, three characters face loneliness everyday. Steinbeck vividly shows this strongly. Curley’s wife, Crooks and Candy are the loneliness people in this novel. Curley’s wife is lonely because she is the only women on the farm, and has no other girls to talk to.
During one of her Sunday visits to the park Miss Brill’s self-image will be painfully restructured in her mind. Miss Brill will be forced to let go of her unrealistic belief that she possesses a role with meaning in her society and that she is superior to the people around her into feelings of uselessness, unimportance; without a place that matters within her society. Miss Brill’s need to leave for the park at the exact same time each Sunday, not wanting to change her routine for fear she may miss something, seem to show her desperate need for human contact and her desire for a friend with whom she could share a connection. The author's ingenuity and careful attention to detail creates a dramatic view, through Miss Brill’s own narration of her thoughts, her
