My great-aunt felt that the quote is true as you get older and feels that way about herself. 2. “You know, honey, us colored folks is branches without roots and that makes things come round in queer ways.” I chose this quote because it felt like a really touching quote about blacks. I feel that this quote is talking about blacks just there without something to hang on to or live for.
The narrator also claims that Jordan’s “complete self sufficiency draws a stunned tribute from him”. In this statement, he is not only addressing the pride and self-esteem the character exudes while keeping her chin raised and refusing to acknowledge his presence, but also describing a haughtiness that was unremarkable for a young lady of the Roaring Twenties to possess. Even Jordan Baker’s flapper physique reminds readers of the ideal woman of the era when Nick describes her as a “slender, small breasted girl”. In addition, he notices vivacity in her movements and how she self-assuredly wears her evening dresses like sportswear.
Whilst Hero and Claudio trade compliments with each other and talk constantly of their unfailing love etc Beatrice and Benedick are trading insults, which sets the tone for the play and their relationship. Beatrice is a very unique character. She seems way ahead of our time and indeed her sex. Beatrice lives in a very patriarchal society, but even so she shows she is not shackled by her gender, and converses freely with men and indeed more than often on her own terms, as she has a sharp tongue in her head. This is yet another contrast to Hero, quite and respectful, she would never speak ill of a man as Beatrice does about Signor Benedick.

Readers, particularly women of all ages feel encouraged because Hall’s narratives are relatable. Hall’s self-exposed writing enables a reader to go beyond solely reading about her life, her writing can help a reader feel encouraged to tackle their own life obstacles. Due to Hall’s sincere and personal way of writing I felt encouraged and felt amazed at how much I not only liked her writing but learned from it as well. As I read Hall’s work I gained the impression that I was reading her personal journal. Her “journals,” in other words her autobiographical narratives such as Killing Chickens, “Shunned” and “Without a map” all reveal specific different bitter portions of her life that she has faced and overcame and reassures readers like me, that we can too.

You can. Now, open up.” Thalia’s tongue slipped between her lips, the taste strong and sweet, sending frissons down Kay’s spine. Kay whimpered, the sound lost in Thalia’s mouth.
