Rather than focusing on what she assumed Virginia wanted to hear she catered to Virginia’s every need, thoughts, worries, fears, and pain. Then surprisingly Jennifer confided in Virginia about her own personal experience. Both in heartfelt tears they said their farewells. Then Virginia was astonished when Jennifer gave her personal cell number and said, “To feel free to use it whenever she needed it!” “We are closed on the weekend, but someone is always on call. I just know how scary that first step is and I want you to know that you’re defiantly not alone.” September 5, 2011 at 8:58 a.m. the room was silenced by the sweet little cry of Claire Hannah Rose.
Both the Handmaids Tale and the poem Nick and The Candlestick show the struggles of having a baby but do however show the everlasting pleasure which they get due to giving birth. Plath’s poem Nick and the Candlestick is a poem based on the struggles of having a baby, we see this as Plath describes her womb “Exudes from its dead boredom Black bat airs “ makes her womb seem like a empty cave with no sign of life. The adjective “dead” stresses the fact how she herself and her womb feel, as if something is missing and creates a sense of darkness. The verse “Black bat airs” reinforces emptiness and no hope. We see the theme of hope of having a baby is evident in Ariel and in the case of The Handmaids Tale as Offred wants to be reunited with her daughter; the theme of hope is popular within the Handmaids Tale.

A couple of nice police officers are here to ask us a few questions.” With a great amount of coaxing, Hannah crawled out from under the bed like a scared cat. Her eyes were huge bowls of light. “How long will this take?” “It will only take a few minutes.” I paused. “Hannah, you have been the bravest little girl tonight than I have ever known. I love you.” Hannah’s eyes lit up like a thousand stars as she clasped me for what seemed like an eternity in a sweet embrace.

Jagroop Singh Carolina Ruiz English 1302 25 February 2013 Response Paper 3 “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman written long back in 1892 is story of woman struggling from mental dispersion and her husband john is her doctor for the treatment. In my opinion john treat his wife like a small girl and take care of her very sincerely. Woman also thinks john care about her as in her lines “he is very careful and loving, and hardly lets me stir without special direction”. (Gilman 545).

I feel miserable I don’t want to leave my house!” I have had two most miserable weeks of my life I was feeling very lethargic, I can’t do it anymore. “You actually think you’re going to die?

Oskar was able to say “nothing” to his father before he died, figuratively and literally (14). This literal sense of Oskar not saying anything can represent a missed opportunity to say ‘I love you’ to his father. This may have had an extreme effect on Oskar because it’s the last time that he saw his father, and he didn’t say that he loved him. Oskar’s grandmother has made a point to tell Oskar that “it’s always necessary” to tell people what you truly want to say (314). Oskar has taken this information and interpreted it as telling people everything that you want to say, and giving them everything that you want to give them.
This teasing and bullying happened everywhere, making me feel so isolated and alone. Many days I came home with tears streaming down my face, enough to soak my shirt, stumbling as I walked because the tears clouded my eyes. The only comfort I had waited for me on the other side of my front door; my Mama would hold me in her arms, squeezing me tight, offering words of encouragement. She knew I would come through the other side of this a stronger, wiser and more compassionate person. Waking up each day often proved a nearly impossible task.
