Suppose that your best friend has just returned from vacation in the Caribbean. As she describes her many adventures, she tells you that the ocean was clear and blue, and the hotel was beautiful and had very attentive staff. Although these descriptions may leave you with the impression that she enjoyed her trip, did it really put you in the moment and give you a true feeling of the joy that she felt? Now let’s revisit your friends trips using metaphors. As your friend describes her adventures, she tells you that she was treated as a queen with her every whim waiting to be fulfilled by the staff and that during her visit to the beach, she swam in a sea of diamonds.
Chopin’s main method of shaping Edna’s identity in particular is arguably through her surroundings and those she seeks company with. The most obvious example of a surrounding that has a certain influence on Edna is of course the sea. Living in land-locked New Orleans for the entirety of her life, the sight of the sea is made out to be fascinating to Edna; it implants a thought to explore in her inquisitive mind. This curiosity is expressed as ‘Edna Pontellier, casting her eyes about, had finally kept them at rest upon the sea’, displaying that this is all she can really focus on and is all she is currently interested in. The sea in many ways seems to actually be a symbol for Edna’s ‘awakening’, the most obvious example of this coming during chapter 6, our first sight of Edna discovering herself.

But the main conflict would be trying to get Nathalie to the Esther P. Marinoff. Because Nathalie has autism. The people involved would be Mrs. Flanagan, Mr. Flanagan, Moose, Carrie Kelly, and Al Capone. Mrs. Flanagan and the family moved to Alcatraz to be closer to Natalie’s school. A day after Nathalie was at the school they kicked her out and said she wasn’t ready for their school but they said Carrie Kelly would be able to help her get ready for the next time Nathalie signs up.
Not only, did she help me with my studies, but ensured that I did not fall behind in school. As we grew older, Candice became my pillar of strength, in some of my most distressing periods. I have seen her, over the years, help several people in her spare time, and she always has a keen interest in doing something for the community and giving back. I am aware that Candice is being tried because she has uncertainly broken the law, but I believe--if true--it could only be due to bad influence. I strongly feel it would better serve the community, and Candice, that she not be sent to prison.
In her room Medusa: (to hand mirror while brushing her hair) I admire myself, I am so beautiful. Even my reflection in the window and in the water shows my beauty. Narrator: On and on Medusa went about her beauty to anyone and everyone who stopped long enough to hear her — until one day when she made her first visit to the Parthenon with her friends. At the Parthenon Friend 1: The Parthenon is the largest temple to the
Hope and Perseverance “Freedom does not come without a price” (Charlie Dent). We must admire those who have struggled to accomplish a better life style for themselves and for their families. In “The Grandfather,” Gary Soto acknowledges and honors the hardships and accomplishments of his grandfather, who died deep in the harvest of his fruits and dedication to keep his family together. Just like Soto’s grandfather, my grandmother too, struggled to overcome many hardships while also keeping her family well united and strong. The life we are living today was not easily given.
(It has the feel in some ways of one of Kate Chopin's stories about the days after the civil war in the American South but is better written). Bella Fleace is all alone in her great manors house. Her family is either all dead or think about her only when they wonder when she will finally die so they can inherit from her (she is 80). Her servants have an easy life as she does not really observe what a state of disrepair her house has fallen into as she rarely leaves her room. Somehow Bella gets the idea she should throw a huge grand society party.
Her husband left early on in Emily’s life and her mother was forced to leave her with friends or send her to day care. “…and I did not know then what I know now- the fatigue of the long day, and the lacerations of group life in the kinds of nurseries that are only parking places for children” (Olsen 707). Emily got nowhere near the amount of attention she needed. Maggie, on the other hand, was always with her mother. Maggie’s mother was also older and better suited to be a mother because she was older and more experienced however, Maggie’s father also left the family.
Norma says this towards the end of the story, when Norma is essentially telling Leroy she wants to be alone. The 14 years alone she’d been alone had helped her deal with the death of her child Randy, and Leroy’s permanent return home has brought back those feelings of their lost child. We can also infer from this that, Norma may have purposely taken bodybuilding, and composition classes In order to avoid Leroy’s constant presence at home. In the story we can clearly see the
