Finally- Transition When the women gives Taylor the baby, Taylor says- Lead in Quote- "If I wanted a baby, I would have stayed in Kentucky" Describe Doodle and brother, and their relationship (pg.44) Wednesday, September 19, 2012 7:57 AM It seems like their relationship involves much love , but the brother can get annoyed how he's incapable of doing many things himself I think the Lady and the Tiger frustrates us because it leaves us wondering and suspicious of what happened at the end. I think the author also refuses to us because she wants us to think and have some mystery and realize of how we really are in trying to visualize the situation and what we might have done. In the story, it talks about mixed emotions and feeling toward the
Not only can sinking air not produce rain, but when it reaches the ground it absorbs water from the soil and vegetation, creating even more arid conditions. We find deserts where this air descends. In fact, at about 30° North, hold the Sahara, the
In order to calculate the leaves’ surface area, I used the conversion factor of a 100mm x 100mm paper which is (Mass/Surface Area = .000122mm^2). By knowing the conversion factor of paper, I used (Mass of Common Olive leaf/Conversion Factor = Common Olive Leaf Surface Area) to calculate the surface area of the leaves from different sunlight
Site one, which was on the North side of the road, was conducted on a dry hillside slope that was clear of trees and faced the sun all day. This site has soil that was a mixture of red clay and sandy dirt which was thinner due to erosion as well as causing faster run off. Land here resembled a pasture that had been overgrazed and never a chance to recover. Site two at Cox Lake was more of a flat prairie grassland (Southside of road), which doesn't face all day full sun. The soil here was similar in composition with the hillside except the grasses were more plentiful on the flatland.
The reader can only imagine that in 1927 era, in the Catholic country of Spain, where abortion was illegal up until the year 2009, Jig would be concerned about more than the beauty or the countryside. There were moral questions, legal concerns, and the worry of where their relationship was heading. Jig couldn’t even make the decision whether or not to have a beer though. So, making the choice between having a baby, or not, is clearly more complex.
The short descriptions of setting may not seem very detailed but combined with dialogues they tell us the true meaning of this three and a half page story. There is a couple waiting for the train. The American and his young girlfriend nicknamed Jig are sitting at a table in the shade, waiting for the train, talking and drinking beer. The whole story centres on a conversation over whether the girl should undergo an abortion or not. Although Hemingway never uses the words “abortion“ or “baby“, we can clearly tell that is all the characters are talking about.
She has lowered herself expectations in life to satisfy someone else’s. Another excerpt from this story that I would like to view is “Well, the man said, “If you don’t want to you don’t have to. I wouldn’t have you do it if you didn’t want to. But I know it’s perfectly simple.” She has listened to him try and rationalizes the “easy” procedure of an abortion. Like, how would he know?
There are not any trees in sight only two distant hills and the woman refers to them as white elephants. They sip on their drinks and through conversation you can conclude that the woman and the man are at odds over her pregnancy. She wants to have the baby, but the man does not. He tries to sway her decision by telling her that the abortion process is simple. “Awfully simple and not really anything.” He wants to keep the lifestyle that they have on track.
Hemingway demonstrates with setting and symbolism that Jig will keep the baby after blossoming into an independent, strong woman. Hemingway allows the story to unfold through the use of setting and the symbolism of the landscape. The couple’s surroundings tell you more about them than what the couple actually says. Since the story was set at a train station, it highlights the fact that the couples’ relationship is at a crossroads. As the couple waits between two destinations, Barcelona and Madrid, they are trapped "between two lines of rail in the sun"( ) as if they were in limbo.
Dry hot deserts lie in a subtropical region. The arid dry wind that blows across this land produces erosion that has a significant impact on landforms in the desert. The air in the desert does not contain much density, so it can therefore carry grains of sands through the wind. This can cause abrasion on rocks giving them a distinctive polished type surface texture and shaped with curves. These types of rocks are known as abraded rocks.
