It is stated in the story that they had forgotten the proper and initial ritual and lost the original box but felt that the tradition of this sacrifice would bring good harvest. “Lottery in June, corn be heavy soon” (Jackson 87). The city of Omelas is nearly what seems to be an enchanted utopia that almost comes directly from a happily ever after fairy tale, with the people of the city always seeming to be cheerful and smiling, and the description of the city being brought out with words of physical
One ongoing theme throughout the play is that every character seems to change the direction of the conversation by mentioning the tree (which is a dramatic device and also symbolism). On page 7 Frank says, ‘Hey, what happened to your tree?’ On page 10 Lydia says ‘Oh, did the wind get your tree?’ this is significant because the tree that blew down was Larry’s tree. It is clear that Keller is trying to erase Larry’s death from his mind because he knows deep down that he is partly responsible by allowing his company to ship out faulty parts. So the purpose of the multiple references to the tree link to the theme of guilt. Keller is trying not to let his past haunt him, but he can’t escape from it.
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. I guess last weeks rains brought the season with them early.” This last place was my favorite because I saw so much beauty here. Being on this trip changed my perspective about observing and that I need to observe more. The more I observed on this trip the more I saw how beautiful things were and that the trip helped me improve my seeing. This act of observation helped enhance the whole adventure.

Others said it was to relieve the tension, and others said it was to ward off a dawn raid. Whatever the reason the first hour of the soldier's day became known, as "The morning hate." It was ear deafening! Today a cloud as dark as death covered all of no man’s land and the body’s laying across the long deserted death ridden field was unrecognisable many soldiers have been put through so much pain maybe not physically but mentally I think of all the family’s whose sons, dads, or husbands have died and I count myself lucky to be writing this diary now! Every day of war is one to forget but you would think you could escape the extreme depression during the night when you’re
He was so enchanted that he did not hesitate to follow her from the boulevard to the famous Love Street and waited until dusk hidden behind a bush. Right after dusk, he decided to do the impossible and climbed an apple tree and jumped on to Pamela’s deck. Jim found Pamela standing next to the door watching him risk his life just to introduce himself. Once Jim was facing Pamela, she calmly asked him “Do you have a problem with doors?” Jim answer was a short, but passionate “sometimes…” followed by a soft warm kiss. After that Jim vanished into the night saying “You are the one.” The Doors.
Back when I was younger, I’d say from the age of 2 until about 13, we lived in the house on the corner with a giant plum tree in the backyard. My grandma owned the house two doors down, my cousins Mickie, Dannie and Cam were kitty corner to us and my other cousins, Penny & Tarin, lived in the house directly across the street. Our plum tree was great for climbing, swinging the tire swing, shading our barbeques and so many other wonderful adventures dreamed up by my sister and me. The one thing it was not great for was plums. They made such a mess.
But things still aren’t going well, because Melinda is still upset about loosing her friends, and went she just went through. If I was in Melinda position then It would be really hard to symbolize the things that I would going through. The last tree that Melinda makes is a tree in the spring season. This tree symbolizes that everything around Melinda is coming to life. Everything is starting to go back to the way that there supposed to be.
Home. The word seems only foreign to me now. I watched dreadfully as the rain turned to ice on the window of the vacant room; knowing it'll be too long until I see the sun again, feel its blistering heat against my russet toned skin. It had only been drizzling for the past week and hadn't taken long for the sun to squeeze its way through the thick, gray clouds-but ever since I sadly agreed to leave…it seemed that Sunny Chesapeake had only become dark and twisty. Luckily, it had only drizzled long enough for Mom and me to finish packing.
Those were some of the only words Brenda had uttered that day. See, earlier that morning Addie and Brittany had gotten into a fight that had apparently ruined Brenda’s whole birthday, and though they had made up nearly an hour ago Brenda still wasn’t budging as far as being upset with them went. Lucy and I awkwardly made side chat being the only neutral parties…caught in the middle of everything all day was getting really old. Yet despite the hostility we proceeded to stay as a group and make our way to the iconic ride, knowing that if we didn’t wait in this god awful line we would regret it the second we didn’t have the opportunity to. 45 minutes had passed, when we had finally reached the halfway point, crowded in an underground tunnel with really no option of going back and the end no where in sight was starting to take it’s toll on not only our group but on everyone else as well, especially the mother with two whining children.
