This is also portrayed in ‘Born yesterday’ when it says “tightly-folded bud” this indicates that although the child may be young and unable to defend for herself her loved ones will try and protect her, however soon they won’t be there to protect her and she will be left to defend for herself. The poem ‘Nettles’ is written in a narrative form, with a fist person speaker. This stresses the fact that the poem has been drawn from personal experiences. The use of the word ‘My’ throughout the poem shows a sense of belonging and protectiveness towards the narrator’s
Some people may never mature and choose to live there lives that way. Those people usually are inconsistent financially, and unstable and live a life of unhappiness. Maturity doesn't mean that we need to act like monks, but that we should have the intuition and common sense to know when it is appropriate to joke and the boundaries. Growing up I matured at a young age, my parents were strict and when I matured they became strict in a different way. I was held to an unspoken standard.
He simply was not strong enough to say no because he believed that this would show weakness inside of him. Weakness leads to failure, and Okonkwo simply cannot fail. He tries to accuse Obierika in order to cover up for his own feelings. This quote adds to Okonkwo’s character by inducing even more of the idea of his fear for failure and weakness. He does anything possible to cover up his weaknesses and will never give in to them.
This is an important message the poem has reminded me of. Emotionally, there are times when I just give up, but this poem gave me the inspiration to not think this way because there are various of ways to overcome the obstacles life has randomly prepared for us. The wall is an assertive symbol expressing the challenging obstacles hindering our lives, but like the poem says, we can persistently push through like a flying helicopter or find passages under the wall. Life is full of walls that seem to not budge, but when work hard to pass the obstacle, we will know that we have succeeded and that is the greatest present life can give us. Whether I lost hope or just gave up, “Where there's a wall” reminds me to persevere no matter what by becoming a rocket shooting over the wall or tying SOS letter to a bird or even exploding like a bomb.
Abstract I am writing my research topic on how Henry is having a difficult time figuring out his feeling towards Susie Q. Henry past experiences with his parents and his friends have molded him to have trouble opening up and trusting Susie Q. Ambivalence may be the topic of choice but I just could not hit the hammer on the nail to what other word I wanted to use. Research Topic #2 Susie Q. has at long last found her soul mate in the body of Henry Longawaited. She’s sure that this is the true love of her life. Hank feels much the same way about meeting her, but he has some reservations based on his experiences while maturing into the fine strapping young lad that he is today.
Before I read the book, I could have been overdramatic and reacted theatrically to what now seems as silly happenings and consider myself to have a difficult life. Although I know my life is not perfect, I now regard my family and home life as the life I would chose to live over any other. The thankfulness this book has rooted in me has forever changed my life. Whenever I find myself in a difficult situation, I know that I have a family who loves me and will support me through anything, regardless of what it is. I realize now that this is a blessing that others may
I think he didn’t let go because he still could see the hope in her eyes and hear the hope in her voice that she thought he would get better.. Even thou they want to go they still don’t want their love ones to suffer. We never want to let go of our love ones because it hurts. We have to do what is best for them and not us. We have to realize that they are the ones in pain and that they are just prolonging what they know is going to happen.
The way he didn’t give up when he did not have to positive encouragement from his community is another reason why this piece stood out to me. It told me that even though that everyone will not be on the same page as you but you should not give up because you are making it count to not only you but someone else that may look up to you. Like when he goes to tell wife Michelle that he wants to quit she tells him that this project will be the most important thing they will ever do. She says that she understands that it will be hard and there will be a lot of sacrifices but she is willing to find out together. By his wife standing by his side willing to change all her ways made me believe that there is always someone there with you even if you don’t know
So now she is telling her son not to give up and to keep going as she did because it’s like after every storm there’s always a rainbow at the end. The theme of the poem is that to never give up on anything no matter how hard it may seem. The poem relates to these famous words because hope is when you believe in something would turn out the way you would like it to. So while there’s life there’s always something to believe in, even if it means that you have to try harder than anyone else because you have more hope. For example, in the line “So, Boy, don’t you turn back.
Who would fardels bear, dagger and burdens?” (Armstrong). In other words, he means that who would want to put up with something that is emotionally difficult and why live a miserable life. We should all live life to the fullest. Set aside all issues and stress. Although, we know it is just as hard to not think about that as it is to get rid of it but it’s a known fact that we’re not promised another hour yet another day.
