I continued clinging desperately to her, not saying a single word and closing my eyes tight, hoping that it would all end. The night was endless. But by daybreak mother had settled down in the corner. No longer acknowledging me. The heat and thirst, the stench and the lack of air was suffocating.
The theme of loneliness continues when, after Miss Laing tells the children to go pick flowers they all “scamper off” but the little girl doesn’t. Instead she goes and stands under the “shadow of a tall pine”. The word ‘scamper’ is used to slow that the children don’t have a care in the world, whereas I think that Margaret does. The ‘shadow of the tall pine’ is used to develop the intensity of her loneliness by showing that she is overwhelmed in darkness. Here the use of imagery makes the theme of loneliness even more unpleasant.
Her mind screamed at her to run away while her thumb twitched above the button. A light sweat formed on her furrowed brow sending tiny slivers of discomfort through her skin. Morrible was blissfully unaware of the green woman who held her fate in her hands as she worked the crowd. In the end, Elphaba fled down the side street and into the shadows. She had missed the opportunity to change the course of history.
When she got up, pain tore at her legs like a hungry lion. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she sat against the rocky wall, examining the place she was in. She had to lie down on her chest to breathe in oxygen as the air was saturated with dust. She coughed out small shards of glass and stared at the bloody mess on her hands. What was happening?
➢ It causes them horror as they are seeing someone being burned to death in agony yelling about the pain they are in. ➢ This could cause the others like Robert to feel like they should shoot their own soldiers to put them out of agony. ➢ The soldiers with the flamethrowers are seen as more
Cursing under my breath and shaking my head I get ready to meet my fate. I bowed my head and prayed to God me and my brother would be alive and that we wouldn’t have to kill each other. But I fear, there is no God here just death. We draw our weapons and begin firing at once, the bullets hitting the body sounded like thunder and shattered their bones in a blink of an eye. Blood started flying everywhere, and the once green grass now became a pool of dark red blood at our feet.
The Misfit raised his hand with anger. The grandmother covered her face as a last resort. She was preparing herself for the brunt of the anger that the Misfit was going to unleash on her, in the form of a shot. His hand passed above his pocket to his face. The grandmother was pale with fear by now.
I observed Ms. Diaz first. She was sitting a little bit apart from the area where most of the children were grouped together when I began. She kept an eye on each child while observing them all as a group at the same time. Her head moved from child to child frequently but she did not interact with them very much for the time I was there. Mostly, she sat apart from them, making sure no one got hurt or became upset.
A main example from the book is that Melinda kept this huge secret held inside. She was too fearful to share it with anyone so instead she decided to keep it her secret. This turned out to be extremely detremental to her well being. It caused her grades to drop, she became an intravert, not wanting to speak to anyone or function properly as a teenager, she isolated herself from others and had no motivation to do anything. Melinda turned from being a loving young lady who had a close relationship with her parents to a recluse who became distant to her parents, friends and everyone.
Rough "Maria, you have to go with the others!" I yelled out while trying to fight off the Nazis. She stood there and shook her head. From the corner of my eye, I saw more Nazis coming with weapons and saw an arrow targeting her. I made a run towards her the same time one of the Nazi soldiers shot the arrow.
