From here, we can figure out that the Garden of love is a metaphor for a woman, or Blake’s character’s love. In the first stanza, Blake’s character demonstrates familiarity of the Garden when he says, “Where I used to play on the green.” The words “used to” and “play” explains that he probably knew the Garden in his younger years because many grown up men do not usually “play” anymore. The author wants readers to know this because this poem resembles how love hopes to be rediscovered. Blake’s character wants to believe that his love still holds a place for him, but in reality, everything that once was, has now vanished. Many problems prevent Blake’s character from reconnecting with his lover of the past.
The arm seemed stretching out longer end longer like a thick elastic, and the unfortunate monkey's mates were raising a terrible din. Weinstein said. The store, intended to be a less pricey version of his Dahne Weinstein jewelers in Green Spring Station swtor credits for sale in Lutherville, didn't lure enough customers, he said. "There just wasn't enough business," he said. Bob's Variety Store is many things to its customers, but in the spring, it is Mother's Day Central, with potted miniature roses, geraniums, lupines and daisies waiting to honor mothers.
“Was that why I was here? Not only to insure the survival of one accident-prone small boy, but to insure my family’s survival, my own birth.” (Page 29). It isn’t until Dana’s second trip into the ante bellum Maryland that this idea of how crucial the survival of Rufus – her ancestor – is to her. Theoritically, the survival of Rufus and the birth of Hagar will warrant the birth of Dana so it’s only natural that Dana struggles to save Rufus despite the fact he mentally and physically abuses her by having her whipped, forcing her to work in the cotton field which strips Dana of her dignity and identity as an independent woman. As Carrie points out to Dana, “Margaret Weylin could not run the plantation.
When Henry approaches Elisa's garden and comments on her impressive crop of chrysanthemums, his business sensibilities cause him to wish out loud that Elisa would raise a cash crop of apples equally impressive. Is Henry incapable of getting his own price because he lacks skills in the ways of complicated or unpleasant discourse? Nevertheless, to "Celebrate" his sale, Henry offers to take Elisa out for dinner and a movie .His wife replies, "No, I wouldn't like fights." Interestingly, Elisa does not say the fights, which, as it is revealed later in the story, Elisa has been reading about all along. Elisa wants to know what her husband means by "Nice."
Perla Villarreal English 2/BAC January 8, 2013 LOTF ESSAY The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Henry David Thoreau once said, “Goodness is the only investment that never fails”.

When a group of British boys crash into an island and are left alone without any supervision, they are forced to change to a cruel lifestyle that changes Simon’s and Piggy’s innocence. Golding illustrates Piggy’s and Simon’s goodness to show that when people respect and help others it makes a stable society. To begin Simon helps the Liluns pick fruit because they cannot reach it.

“Planting a Sequoia” by Dana Gioia explores the struggle of a father coming to terms with the death of his new born child. Gioia uses the traditional narrative of the planting of a tree to represent the birth of a child and subverts this traditional Sicilian practice by rationalising the planting of a sequoia for his still born first son. Through the effective use of tone, imagery, setting and symbolism, the poet illuminates his thesis that life is transient, and this loss of a child is bearable because he believes the child will live on through the sequoia. As a symbol, the sequoia will break out of the limitations of the mortal realm, outliving the persona’s own family. At the beginning of the poem, the importance of the tree is shown when the persona, the father, portrays it to have human qualities, referring to it as ‘you’.
They would play under it, Amir would read stories for Hassan under it, he taught Hassan how to read and write under it and I think the last time they were under it was when Amir was throwing the pomegranates at Hassan so they left it on a bad note. That pomegranate tree was a place where Amir could be himself and not worry about what other people thought of him for hanging out with Hassan and therefore their relationship under that tree was a more real and intense. I think what he meant by the tree not having fruits for years was that their happiness under that tree gave it life and how Hassan wanted that relationship
