Meaning Behind A Turtle Essay

Decent Essays
I chose a Turtle to reflect on. The meaning behind a Turtle is that their nurtures, shy and protecting. I can relate to a turtle because I’m shy myself when it comes to people I do not know. I won’t feel comfortable until I adjust to my surroundings. I feel like I’m very nurturing when it comes down to my family or people I’m very close too. I don’t like to know that anyone I care deeply about is down because it will take a big toll on me. I will encourage them the most that I can until I can’t anymore because I care a little too much. Also I’m protecting as well when it comes down to things I’m most passionate about. For instance my family, friends and etc.

    I see a reflection of myself when analyzing the character Lena Tiddle, from Delirium by Lauren Oliver. Although Lena lives in a dystopian society while I do not, we run parallel with many traits that we each inhabit, socially and mentally. First of all, mentally we are both slightly fearful. While the mental fear that I hold is not as extreme as the fear Lena holds, it is a trait that bonds the two of us. Lena’s mental fearfulness is exemplified through her need to constantly feel protected and shielded from things outside of her comfort zone.…

    Hunt for the Wilderpeople Film Taika Waititi ‘Hunt for the Wilderpeople’ is about a young troubled adolescent boy, named Ricky. After years of being thrown around countless foster homes at the age of 13 years old, Ricky feels he has found himself a stable family environment.

    Rhinoceros, written 1958, and published 1959 is one of Ionesco’s most popularized plays. It opens on a usual Sunday in a town, where abruptly a rhinoceros is sighted twice by the townspeople. Initially some wonderment is expressed about the strangeness of this happening, but eventually a great deal of discussion is devoted to whether the two sightings were of the same rhino or of two different ones, and whether the rhino(s) belonged to the African or Asian species. Soon it becomes evident that people are being metamorphosed into rhinos unexplainably. At the conclusion of the play all human beings yield to rhinoceritic, while the protagonist Berenger remains the solitary human.…
