Armoros: A Short Story

Improved Essays
This scene displays the theme that there is always hope,” Tessa took a deep breath, she did not know if what she was about to do was even possible, or simply madness. As Armoros raised her with his hands, she closed her eyes, reaching out with her mind, reaching into the clockwork angel. She tumbled for a moment through dark space, and the gray limbo, seeking that light, that spark of spirit, that life--.

She screamed aloud- and changed. White fire blasted through her veins. She shot upward her gear ripping and tearing and falling away, light blazing

    Gertrudis’s departure from the ranch symbolizes the wild abandon passion can bring on in life, the insanity it brings to some and shows to others, that life can be lost or claimed by our interpretation and application of it within us. “Their eyes met and what she saw in his made her tremble. She saw all the nights he had spent staring into the fire and longing to have a woman beside him, a woman he could kiss, a woman he could hold in his arms, a woman like her.” (Esquivel, Page 32). In the remark we can clearly see Gertrudis takes the emotion of passion straight to heart, she did not turn away in fear as many would; she let her mind run into a world of fantasy created with passion.…

However this Greek warrior was not fighting for a lazy king afar, no Achilles was fighting for his cause and for the lives of the men around him. Achilles did not take orders from any king because as long as his short xiphos sword was in hand Achilles could slay any army, country or enemy that opposed him.
