Letter To A Chrysalis Talk

Decent Essays
Bryce,

It was good talking to you and I pray all is well! As per our phone conversation, I'm sending you this email about the walk. It is a boys Chrysalis Walk #124 and the date of the walk is July 28-31, 2016. I would be honored if you would be able to work the walk. I have been praying and I felt led to ask you, if you would be able to give the Prodigal Talk? The main reason for this email is to allow you enough time to pray about the decision and see if this is where God is leading you. Philippians 4:6 says, "Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything." (New Living Translation) The last thing I want, is for you to worry about this decision. I want to you to ask God and see if this is something He wants you to do.

    The chrysanthemums are a large part of Elisa’s life and symbolize how she views herself in many situations, further characterizing herself as a character. Elisa relates to the flowers and sympathizes with them almost as one would with another person. An example from Chrysanthemums supporting this claim is as follows “‘ They smell kind of nasty till you get used to them,’ he said. ‘It’s a good bitter smell,’ she retorted, ‘not nasty at all’”…

    The children’s book Chrysanthemum written by Kevin Henkes is a classic piece of literature with an essential meaning within. Using the simple moral of the Golden Rule, Henkes shows this through the adventures of a mouse in a very social oriented time in children’s lives, pre-school. By using realistic fiction to depict a normal child’s experience through school, Henkes shows the ups and downs of having differences through the 13 letter name of the protagonist, Chrysanthemum. Even though the vocabulary is simple for matured ones, it is a new world for young ones using words such as “blushed” and others such as “bloomed” when used as a feeling. The book Chrysanthemum begins with Chrysanthemum growing up with love and affection from her parents.…

Yet, the tiny percentage of aberration within Waknuk such as the Sealanders believe that the normal are now the primitive species and have to be wiped out. This is especially true when a community of mutants all congregated together in order to preserve their way of life.…

    This week I completed the brilliant novel called The Chrysalids was written by the ever so talented John Wyndham. All throughout the book I was curious as to why the novel was named “The Chrysalids” and after completing the novel I discovered why. A chrysalis is known as the preliminary or transitional phase of a transformation or state. For example, some insects like butterflies enter the state as a caterpillar and then exit as a winged individual. The book’s title is a reference to how both the society and characters within the novel are transforming.…

    I am writing to you to voice my opinion on Hester and to offer some insight on the most appropriate way to handle her punishments. I would like to make it clear that I portray all of this with the utmost respect and I am writing solely as a concerned citizen of Boston. There is no denying that Hester’s actions were completely wrong, however, her punishment must not be overzealous. Hester should be allowed to keep and tend to Pearl. This will not only show the mercy of our congregation, but also teach and remind Hester of her unacceptable sins.…

    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…
