ENGLAND: A.D 1377
I looked down at my mother, she looked so peaceful with her eyes closed and the cross of lead clutched in her hands. But to think that she would never awake to look at me and tell me I am going to be alright, to think that I never said a proper goodbye. To think that I will be alone and have to support myself.
It was not long after I had found my mother, Asta that father Quinel arrived he wrapped the black shroud around her to symbolise her death. As we walked through the fields no one stopped they merely looked, and kept working. Once we had finally reached the old walled cemetery behind the church; Father Quinel slowly lowered her down into the hole and removed the cross from her grip. I stood with Father Quinel looking

    1. When Ackerman begins by stating that “Love is the great intangible,” she is trying to say that love is the clarity of life. Love in a scenes, is something that has such a strong meaning to us as humans that when it is shown we cannot help but acknowledge its presence. This word however also is a word that we cannot fully understand. In the first paragraph when the author talks about the little girl asking her parent how much they love them, the response of the parent is 100 times the biggest thing we could think of.…

    Within this journal, I will be evaluating the themes in To Kill A Mockingbird. To begin, one of the themes displayed in the novel is the coexistence of the innocent and evil. One way the book conveys this is when the evil jury kills an innocent black man, Tom. I say this figuratively because the prison camp actually killed him, but the jury got him there. The jury knew Tom was innocent but back then, blacks were always guilty no matter the situaton.…

    1) I liked how she starts her story with the emotional moment of the accident, that part made me feel dizzy and disorientated like her, at the beginning it was kind of hard to interpreted the text and what was happening at the time. The parts were the police were treating her like an animal really made me mad and I felt a little bit of impotence when hearing about how they waited so long to help her and they hurt her even more. I was actually disgusted but not surprised of the way the police treated her in the hospital, it was to be expected, besides she “killed” one of their own and on top of it she was a woman of color. I admire Assata greatly in this chapter, she is so brave and has a strong will of power, if I were in her place I would have cried and begged since the first punch to the stomach. I can connect the way they treated Assata during…

    Scarlet Letter Journal Analysis Journal #2: In the novel The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, the scarlet letter negatively affects Hester because it excludes her from society, labels her as the embodiment of sin in the town, and grants her a lot of disrespect among the people. Hester lived in a cottage that was far away from the whole town and completely surrounded by woods, which already made her feel separate from the community. Not only that, but every time she went to the busy Boston area, her contact with society made her feel “banished, and as much alone as if she inhabited another sphere” (Hawthorne 78). Hester is obviously suffering from isolation already, due to her sin and the scarlet letter setting her apart from everyone…

Thirty-six days later, Allie received her first letter from Thomas. With trembling fingers, she broke the seal to read what her husband had written. When she finished reading it, Allie folded it neatly and then looked across Charleston Harbor toward where Fort Sumter was; she wondered why the Confederates had not been able to keep Thomas and other blockade-runners safe… She had not a clue about the workings of wars and battles.…
