You could tell Lily was afraid of her father, seeing how she hesitated to tell him about events such as her birthday. Lily was also born and raised in rags, since her mother died when Lily was at a young age. After her mother died, Lily was stranded with a confused and angry father, and had to sew her own clothes, since it is all she had. These two stories already look the same, and both are only a fraction of the way in. Huck’s life was extremely terrible until he starting living with the Widow Douglas, which is the equivalent of when Lily went to live with the Boatwright sisters.
Themes Though it is a remarkably short piece of fiction, “The Open Window” explores a number of important themes. Mr. Nuttel comes to the country in an attempt to cure his nervous condition.

In James W. Hall’s “Maybe Dats Your Pwoblem Too” most children can interpret it as humorous while adults can analyze rhetorical devices and find the poem somewhat subliminal. When One analyzes the rhetorical devices in Hall’s poem it is clear to see his intentions to not only contribute humor, but provides the poem with a theme. By utilizing diction, irony, and metaphor, Hall not only keeps a reader entertained but advocates a relatable situation. Throughout the entire poem, Hall chooses to show the awe-inspiring Spiderman with a speech impediment. He demonstrates his characters less flawless side by replacing all R’s with W’s also introducing humor into the poem.
One instance of her paranoia with their actions occurs when the governess believes that Flora tried to distract her from Miss Jessel’s ghost and she claims that, “It was a pity I needed to capitulate the portentous little activities by which she sought to divert my attention—the perceptible increase of movement, the greater intensity of play, the singing, the gabbling of nonsense and the invitation to romp,” (James 162). Playing, singing and romping seem like normal activities for a child to be partaking in for his or her own enjoyment, but because the governess received such strange orders from the children’s uncle, she may have developed a preconceived notion that the children were mischievous, which explains why he didn’t want contact with them. This paranoia over why the bachelor wouldn’t want contact with the manor could have escalated, causing her to see ghosts on the grounds. On the other hand, the questionable orders the governess received could have indicated that ghosts really were a concern at Bly. If this motive to his orders is correct, then the governess’ accusation of Flora’s normal behavior could have

In the stories, A Rose for Emily by William Faulkner and The Jilting of Granny Weatherall by Katherine Anne Porter both women had different reactions to the similar situations of being rejected by their lover and losing a loved one. In Faulkner’s story, A Rose for Emily, the main character, Miss Emily, acted out irrationally when her lover, Homer, rejected her. All her life Emily was not able to have a chance with any suitors because her father always pushed them away. When she got older she began to loose her beauty and she felt she would never get married
One of them, as said before, is his failure to make outcomes; another one of his flaws is his impulsive nature. Romeo, after having just met Juliet, decides he wants to marry her. Friar Lawrence even warned Romeo about moving to fast . Throughout the play, Romeo made many unwise decisions and for all of them, he had to suffer afterwards. Evidence of his impulsive nature is highlighted in his journey to Juliet’s house to express his love for her when he barely knows her.
His goal of being with her had come true, but while being out on the town Tom finds out about the affair and things are laid out on the table. An argument starts up between Tom and Gatsby on who Daisy loves with Gatsby saying, “ ‘ Your wife doesn't love you…. She never loved you. She loves me….. She never loved you, do you hear...She only married you because I was poor and she was tired of waiting for me. It was a terrible mistake, but in her heart she never loved anyone except me (137).” As he argues with Tom you can see his defiance to believe that Daisy could love another.
He insults Polonius calling him a Whore-Monger. After this exchange Polonius remarks “Though this be madness, yet there is method in't” (II, II, 204). Meaning that Hamlet could be mad but that there seems to be intent behind his madness. When Rozencranz and Guildenstern visit Hamlet he receives them kindly until he learns they are spying for his mother. He then increases his feigned madness.
‘A Beautiful Life’ ultimately aims to challenge the audience with the issues of racial marginalisation, through the emotive narrative, and the non-linear structure of the plotline. The structure of the plotline allows for theatrical playfulness in many of the scenes, which my group did employ. We were one of the only groups to have a comedic edge to our piece. Amir says: “Everyone watched as Dad single-handedly pushed the car”, to which I (Hamid) put my scarf around my back as a cape, and stick a hand out like superman. Through this simple action, a representation of the holistically common fatherly idolization is portrayed, to highlight the similarities between the refugee, and the Australian.
