Before Willy passed away the Lomans “[nothing] planted” (122). They had no financial support and no hope for a better future. After Willy died and his seeds were planted in the back yard, the rest of the Loman family could start hoping for a better future. They would have financial support from the life insurance money and use this advantage as a source of hope for a new beginning, paralleling the seeds being planted in fertile soil and growing into a plant. Arthur Miller makes constant references to nature and farming in Death of a Salesman.
4. Swather has no assets so Old McDonald sues JonDear for the loss of his crop. JonDear argues that it should not be liable because it was Swather's responsibility to harvest the wheat. How will this be resolved? Compensatory damages attempt to compensate the non-breaching party for the loss of the bargain.
Oreo was also already buried. I didn’t get to say goodbye. I didn’t get to actually see what death was, or to hold him or pet him one more time. I remember I would go outside and sit by his little grave and my dad would come out and tell me to go play, almost like he was telling me to ‘get over it’. The strangest part of all of that is this: before the death of Oreo, I don’t remember the guinea pig at all!
The windows show images of saints and of Jesus Christ rising from the dead; Armitage says that the sun can “beatify” the saints, in other words raise them above the level of ordinary people. He contrasts the fact that the sunlight shining through the stained glass windows has a positive effect whereas it has weathered or “aged” the wooden case of the instrument. Armitage uses the metaphor “fingernails” in describing the way the sun has discoloured the harmonium's keys; the area that the organist would have pressed with his fingers is now yellow. One of the harmonium's notes or keys has “lost its tongue;” the personification to convey the fact that the key is silent brings life to the image. The last three lines of the second stanza focus on how worn the treadles of the harmonium are.
Towards this end Vengenas draws upon the picaresque aspect of the original Don Quixote, focusing on Chipote’s misadventures in a 1920s America that exploits Mexican immigrants and is indifferent to their plight. The Adventures of Don Chipote or When Parrots Breastfeed focuses on Don Chipote, a poor rural farmer living in Mexico with his wife and kids. Don Chipote, similar to Don Quixote, doesn’t have much in his life. He lives a simple life as a bracero on a ranch. Don Chipote constantly daydreams of being able to provide a better life for himself and his family.
Sheers writes of ordinary everyday happenings such as digging a field in preparation for planting and in so doing bones of dead soldiers are found. Mametz Wood is about these wasted lives but Sheers puts them into a context of nature that rolls over these events and in effect ignores them. The actual falling leaves in this poem symbolise the falling solidiers who are dying in the battlefield. The poet uses what we call in poetry an extended metaphor. The leaves are the soldiers.
His life has almost no chance of improving. While in Crooks’ room, Candy and Lennie talk about their plan to buy a plot of land for them and George to live and farm on. As Crooks hears, he asks if he could come with them; he explains that he could help in the garden or any odd jobs. Before Candy or Lennie could answer, Curly’s wife enters the room looking for Curly. She begins talking to them and calls them “bindle-stiffs.” Eventually Crooks had enough of her and stood up for himself “You got no rights comin’ in a colored man’s room… get out quick” (88).
The narrator tells us that for many years he thought of buying a farm in the Concord countryside. He considered many sites and even exercised his Yankee shrewdness by haggling over the price with several farmers. But he followed his own advice, as expressed in "Economy," and avoided purchasing a farm because it would inevitably tie him down financially and complicate his life. Besides, he reasoned, why did he need to own a farm? All that is of real value to the individual in living on a farm — close, personal contact with the spiritually invigorating influences of nature — can be had for nothing.
Huck even lies to the men that it was his family with smallpox so he wouldn’t be caught. The most brave thing Huck does in regards to Jim, is not turning Jim in as he debates with himself whether or not to. Huck has the courage to think against the norm of society, and how slaves are unequal to the white man, and sees Jim as not only another person, but a friend, not just a black slave. “hadn’t had a bite to eat since yesterday, so Jim he got out some corn-dodgers and buttermilk, and pork and cabbage and greens—there ain’t nothing in the world so good when it’s cooked right—and whilst I eat my supper we talked and had a good time. .
We are the earth, and our dream is the sun; it warms our skin, it shines through our dusty windows, it lets us see beauty that gleams in its golden rays. But unfortunately, many of us don’t have the courage to step outside the dark house with the dusty windows, and live the dream we only see in our surreal minds. Some of us let the dream fade into a small light in the back of our minds. Humans are so conformed
