Through the visual imagery of “gathering rosebuds,” the rosebuds are a symbol for purity and innocence we can draw the conclusion that the speaker is telling the virgins they are innocent and pure, but soon they will bloom and that is when life should be lived to the fullest, for example by having sex, marrying and having a family. He continues the first stanza by personifying a flower with the ability to smile – the bloom, and he states, “And this same flower that smiles to-day/ To-morrow will be dying” (lines 3-4). From this statement, the reader

1. The Frog King, and Beauty and the Beast, among others, all relate to the idea of one royal marrying an initially less fortunate (in terms of appearance or economic/social stature) person. These folk tales are best described for dealing with life’s vital issues and that is where the drama can begin. Each story delves into rites of passage in some manner, for instance young women leaving their parents to marry and friendship they find with an unlikely candidates. Each story shows children grow up and learn to survive on their own to become adults and live happily ever after having survived very difficult situations, each lady making a deal for their time, love, etc.

Instead of being stupid and crave death. Hope” is the thing with feathers - That perches in the soul - And sings the tune without the words - And never stops - at all - These are all happy words, and romanticism is full of “hope” She says “hope is the thing with the feathers – “hope” being the key word portrays romanticism. God gave a loaf to every bird, But just a crumb to me; I dare not eat it, though I starve, -- My poignant luxury To own it, touch it, prove the feat That made the pellet mine, -- Too happy in my sparrow chance For ampler coveting.

Derik Bond John Sayre November 9, 2012 Block 3 Writing Lab Writing Lab Notes Learning to Brake for Butterflies by Ellen Goodman: In modern day; people are used to having anything they need in a flash, but they are missing out on slowing down to stop and smell the roses. Life goes by too fast to try and zip right through everything. It is very important to take a break from your personal life to see just how beautiful life is. Cherishing every minute of life is the key to success. The Writer by Richard Wilbur: A father hears his daughter writing a story, and the daughter is an adolescent.
“Three words, dear Romeo, and a goodnight indeed./If they bent of love be honourable/Thy propose marriage, send me word tomorrow”(II.ii.142-144) After only mere hours of knowing Romeo, Juliet writes off her hand in marriage. Juliet hastefully makes the decision to get married without thinking of the outcomes. Juliet ignores the fact that Romeo and her family are enemies, and makes a choice based on what she personally wants. Also, when faced with the issues her secret marriage caused, one sees Juliet act even more as a child and her quick fix mind set causes the biggest disaster of the play. Speaking to the Friar Lawrence of the suggestion to use dead/undead poison, Juliet replies, “Give me, give me!
“[A bell rings softly. ]” (Ives 454) Just imagine what life would be like to be saved by the bell and given a “do over” every time a bell rings. Ives uses this play to show how shallow and superficial people can be when they first meet. It is boldly stated by Betty to Bill when she says, “Are you really interested, or do you just want to pick me up?” (Ives 456) She recognizes that most guys are usually only interested in one thing and just calls him out on it. On the other side of the coin, Ives shows how usually women are more concerned with status symbols; things such as where you went to college, what grades you made, and where you’re from.
“I waited, and about four o’clock she came to the window and stood there for a minute and then turned out the (Fitzgerald 147).” Fitzgerald’s description of Gatsby’s enormous need for Daisy’s love and her insensible rejection integrate a connection that the audience may be able to relate to. In Gatsby’s blind love, he incessantly praises the green light at the end of Daisy’s dock as the importance of keeping hope. When Daisy finally cuts off the light, she also severs Gatsby’s hope for his love’s return. The manipulation supports how crucial love is in Gatbsy’s life, showing that he has nothing without Daisy’s returned
“Maid” is a term with the connotation of being innocent young girls, but after Hamlet and Ophelia have sex she is no longer naïve. Ophelia continues singing and says, “Young men will do ‘t, if they come to ‘t; By Cock, they are to blame.” (209) She blames men for turning love into dissatisfaction, and that they only seek lust. “Quoth she, ‘Before you tumbled me, You promised me to wed’; He answers, ‘So would I ha’ done, by yonder sun, An thou hadst not come to my bed.’” (209) Ophelia says before they had sex that he promised to marry her, and his response was he would have married her if she had not gone to bed with him. Again Ophelia reiterates her disappointment, and it displays her loss of innocence. There are comments from other characters in the scene referring to Ophelia’s mindlessness, but her clarity through the lyrics is paradoxical.
Throughout the course of this essay I will discuss how the author, priestly, presented the contrasts in his novel, ‘An Inspector calls’, and I will write about how effective his devices are, these contrasts include the difference in age and social status. When the curtains first opens the lighting is ‘pink and intimate’ for the cheery occasion of an engagement party for Sheila Birling and Gerald Croft, but once the Inspector arrives the lighting should be ‘brighter and harder’ so the spotlight is on the Birling family and reveals who they really are. The first contrast, and possibly the most influential on Eva Smiths death, was the contrast between rich and poor. Priestly uses, on many occasions, exaggeration in the characters dialogue, especially Mr Birling’s, in order to highlight his opinions on how self-centred the upper classes of 1912 were. An example of this is when Mr Birling says ‘lower costs and higher income’.
