Journey from Innocence The naivetés of adolescence are discussed in “The Flowers” by Alice Walker. During the Civil Rights era, a young underprivileged African American girl is being raised as a sharecropper in the South. Sheltered by the inexperience of her youth, on a rare day off, Myop takes a walk through the woods near her house. On this journey she encounters unfamiliar territory, and ultimately makes a discovery that disintegrates the essence of her childhood. Facing this new realization, Myop loses her innocence.
Anna is horrified by his arrival and terrified that someone will see, but she admits that she hasn't been able to stop thinking about him since she left Yalta. She begs Gurov to leave before someone grows the wiser, and leaves him with the promise that she'll come to see him in Moscow. Gurov returns home, and Anna follows through on her promise. She begins visiting Moscow semi-regularly, where she stays in a hotel and carries on her affair, if intermittently, with Gurov.

One might ask, why are the children not responding to her, why do they look right past her? At the conclusion of the story, finally exposed, that she is dead. The fundamental theme of “I Used to Live Here Once” is about a woman who takes a journey back to her childhood home in a divine way. A theme as defined in the dictionary is, “unifying idea that is recurrent element in literary or artistic work” (Webster’s). Although the theme is not clear at initial, start but is implied cunningly all the way through the story.
Historical Enquiry Assignment. “Life during the Blitz was terrible in Britain during World War II” Does the evidence support this view? “Life was terrible during the Blitz during World War II”. I have chosen this topic because it is a big topic that affected a lot of people, young and old, in Britain and in other countries as well. It also links to other parts of World War II like evacuation because the people got evacuated due to the risk of bombing and rationing because in some circumstances roads and railways were blocked by debris and bombing, so materials and food couldn’t get through.
Schwartz mentioned a good example when “ Jane was infant, who was orphaned by the death of her parents, and how Jane became the ward of a woman who always abused ,then she moved on to explain when Jane was as a little girl , who experienced her circumstances as arbitrary , which were beyond her power to change , also she explains the gap that happened in Jane’s childhood and her adultness and how she represents herself and how that ambiguity run” (549) . Schwartz on her essay went on to apply Derrida’s concepts of deconstruction on one hand like “split” and “the binary oppositions”. As she also investigates Jane’s family name and explains what her name means in Latin, also on this part of her essay on the other hand she go back to Freud big impact on the novel and used his psychological concept which is “the family romance “ that she thoroughly apply it on her essay and how Jane’s narrative embody the double wish in her novel like “original and derived, free and bound, an orphan and an heir” (553). Schwartz said that we have to over look the ambivalent representation of home and family that run throughout the novel (553). She gives a good example “how the ambivalence about home is manifested in the slippage of the family name Eyre” (554) .Also how Rochester and St. John are victimized by the trap that is family and how Jane herself escapes it.
Analyse how the theme of madness is implied and portrayed in Edgar Allan Poe’s The Fall of the House of Usher, focusing on one section of the story. Passage focus for analysis - ‘Upon my entrance, Usher arose…’ to ‘periods of his most intense excitement’, including other parts of the text. Madness is a clear theme throughout The Fall of the House of Usher, and could even be argued to be the main point of the story, as the narrator himself eventually falls victim to the insanity that consumes the household. In this extract, the focus is upon the character of Roderick Usher, his mental decline and the physical consequences. The narrator describes him as ‘lying at full length’ on a sofa, which gives the reader the image of a weak, diseased man, but Poe creates antithesis to this portrayal with the suggestion of his ‘vivacious warmth’.
We can come across with these people in our lives or we can see them in movies. The movie called “Falling Down” deals with this problem as a subject, and there is a man -D-fens- who experiences mental breakdown in the film. In my opinion, there are many reasons why the man -D-fens- has a mental breakdown. First of all, the world around him is unfair, and he can’t accept inequity; therefore, he shows his violent face which is the effect of mental breakdown. There are several incident about inequity in the movie.
1. Anne Trubek (author of text 1) thinks that spelling rules are essentially unnecessary - it’s time to let them loose. Autocorrect messes up your messages in an attempt to correct the spelling; instead we should just embrace different spellings of every word. Now that the border between spoken and written language is disappearing and Siri is taking over you will never have to write a word again, so spelling is unnecessary. Language is constantly changing and evolving and we should accept the changes in language instead of tying ourselves down.
