As I was watering it, I began telling it jokes, and talking to it, “What did Mrs. Plant say to Mr. Plant? 'Hey Bud, I like how you always bring me flowers! '” Mother was smiling at me, proud of seeing me interested in horticulture. Night was coming , and I was getting ready for dinner at the table, talked to Mother about Woody, and thinking of jokes to tell him. The next day, I excitedly ran to Woody to check on him, as I was watering him, I started petting him, leaf by leaf.
He starts talking about the flowers and how beautiful they are, and this makes Elisa feel beautiful and valued. A stranger is noticing her “place”, her hard work. When he offers to take the chrysanthemums out of the garden, off the farm, some place to grow, she is elated. “Beautiful” (690). “Oh beautiful” (690).
This color imagery is another way to symbolize death in which the poet at this time fears. He describes the flock as a living being in line 20 when he describes this “cloud” as one that “paled, pulsed, distended”. This is like the movements of a heartbeat. He also depicts the flock of starlings as a rock, something constant, sturdy, and indestructible. In the next stanza, reality dawns on the speaker.
Buddy’s Friend Analysis Living in the rural South during a harsh time of the Great Depression is hard for many people. Yet the bond between a woman and a young boy is an essential part of Truman Capote’s story, A Christmas Memory. Buddy’s friend shows thoughtfulness and kindness to many others, and the quality of being loyal. These qualities help a strong relationship get through a difficult time of hardship. Collecting the ingredients for the fruitcakes would be easy, but both Buddy and his friend never knew where they would get the money to pay for the assortment of things that have to go into the fruitcakes.
Many people picnicking here, families just having good times together. Walking down a trail I see a small glass with water and inside a cigarette put out. The water at this lake seems much greener than all the other water in the park. Hiking more I become aware of all the fungus. I ask Aaron what he thought of the lake and he responds, “I'm surprised to see this many types of mushroom fruiting in early October.
“Possibly it had occurred to him that the colossal significance of that light had now vanished forever. Compared to the great distance that had separated him from Daisy it had seemed very near to her, almost touching her. It had seemed as close as a star to the moon. Now it was again a green light on a dock. His count of enchanted objects had diminished by one” (Fitzgerald 93).Good quote.Make the point that he gets close to his dream, but can’t quite reach it.
Bob's Variety Store is many things to its customers, but in the spring, it is Mother's Day Central, with potted miniature roses, geraniums, lupines and daisies waiting to honor mothers.

The author sets the mood in a happy way when a calamity should be miserable. The poet uses similes to make the tone more joyful. “Dogs barked and the children sprouted like dandelions on my lawn,” is a perfect example which compares the dogs and children to dandelions.

“It’s her fur-ur which is so funny,” giggled the girl. “It’s exactly like a fried whiting.”(14) “Ah, be off with you!” said the boy in an angry whisper. (15) The two young people’s rude remarks made Miss Brill suddenly aware of her position in the park despite she had been looked at other old people the same way as the young people looked her. “Other people sat on the benches and green chairs, but they were nearly always the same, Sunday after Sunday, and –Miss Brill had often noticed—there was
Shelley personifies nature, specifically the stars and trees, in this selection from her novel to tie many themes together. Because nature is a place of solace and an escape for the characters in Frankenstein, it is only fitting that its elements be personified to emphasize the monster’s loneliness and isolation, another theme tied into that associated with nature. The lifelike qualities given to these natural elements and the rest of the quote represent the monster’s isolation and desire for acceptance.
