She would like others to know she is special, she knows she has a need to be free. Diana not only wants to fly with wings over a massive field of green looking down the scenery and smiling at her poetic thoughts, Diana too has goals and aspirations. She knows that her imagination is what she is capable of. She can be herself whenever she wants to be, and that is all the time. Diana wants to let others know that she adores life.
"The grasses sway their tall spears; the white butterflies flutter around and float on the warm wind of the late summer." (pg 9) As the quote seems to imply, it is showing the current mood and state of Paul which, in context is a peaceful and tranquil one. It also shows his innocence to the horrors of war. The butterflies also serve as a message of his softness towards his situation and the delicacy of the balance in life. There is another passage in the book when Paul describes the butterflies as being perched upon a skull and fly about the battlefield as if they do not have a care in the world.
Freedom is the music that not only I, but many others, dance to. A melody so strong that unites us all to acknowledge the beat it sings. And not a song of morbidity forced upon us, but a Song of Glory and Pride that sways us with its beauty of Rights. Freedom, the breath of America, is something that we all should be so grateful for. If you really think about it, we are one of the few countries that have freedom, liberty, and independence.
“The Lesson of the Moth” In society today there are two main different types of people, the free spirited individuals and the conservative individuals. The free spirits believe to live in the moment and die doing something that makes them happy while the conservatives believe to live in routine and stick to “playing it safe”. In Don Marquis’s poem, “The Lesson of the Moth”, Don uses a moth and a cockroach, named Archy, to portray those two personalities. The poem dives deep into how people go about their lives, a touchy subject for some, and how they view each other. The poem starts off with Archy giving the reader the setting and an idea that the moth is suicidal, but the next stanza explains that the moth and the cockroach do not understand each other’s lives.
John James Audubon and Annie Dillard both wrote short passages describing large flocks of birds using vivid imagery and descriptive diction to convey the effect that the flocks had on them as an observer. Both passages have an awed and laudatory tone since the writers seem to be enchanted by the beauty o the birds. While Audubon gives a literal description of what he saw, Dillard describes the birds through the extensive use of figurative language. The descriptive diction in both passages serves to give the reader a mental image of what the writer saw as the birds flew by. Audubon uses phrases like “countless multitudes” and “immense legions” to describe the large amount of birds that he watched fill the sky.
(Bradbury, 29). This quote shows that Clarisse takes time to examine and enjoy the real beauty of nature. She knows how things are when other people do not even care to look at their surroundings. This is actually what is real in our society rather than parlor walls and seashell ear buds. She is enjoying her life and the environment while others are still stuck in their fantasies.
Feda Faizi Feb 10, 2014 The Stunt Pilot Life is a magnificent thing. It is a collection of beautiful experiences that shed a light on the human character. The world is a plethora of individuals that strive to live in a manner that defines themselves. Often one see life to be a preserved and protected element, an element that some celebrate while others dare it. Dare it to the point where it makes others question its sacredness.
It is the occasional glimpses of nature, like the flock of dunlins that keep his tenuous hold on | | |a more innocent past and the memories which link him to the sanctuary in Australia. Though we would prefer | | |our lives to be lived in peace and beauty, it is these dichotomies that enlarge our understanding of | | |ourselves and the world in which we live, otherwise like Jim declares, we may be condemned to live our lives | | |in ‘dangerous innocence”. |
One must be free from limitations on his/herself and have a free spirit. In Chapter I of Self Reliance, Emerson talks about the idea that when he is standing on flat carefree ground he is uplifted into blithe, carefree air, and no longer has any limits on himself. In this carefree state Emerson “feel[s] that nothing can befall [himself] in life, -- no disgrace, no calamity, (leaving me my eyes,) which nature cannot repair. Standing on the bare ground, -- my head bathed by the blithe air, and uplifted into infinite space, -- all mean egotism vanishes. I become a transparent eyeball; I am nothing; I see all; the currents of the Universal Being circulate through me; I am part or particle of God” (Nature).
