I have a strong connection with Patria because she presents herself as someone with dignity, being the eldest sister in her family.

Ever since my sister was born, I have always tried to reach out and help my sister through tough situations she has by giving her advice.…
A trapeze artist, a tiny young woman in a dress so short that Ruby Ann could see where her legs turned into hips, danced along a taut wire tied between two poles. Beside her, a man covered in tattoos played some kind of flute, egging on the little woman. Roaming through the crowds were women dressed in little more than bras and panties with sheer skirts that twirled around them and seemed to change color as they juggled flaming orbs and danced provocatively. Men threw swords to each other and some dueled, even drawing blood.…

Or that guy that's simultaneously the Varsity Quarterback/Short-Stop/Homecoming King/Valedictorian? We all know that person.…

“...With me you could have been another person.” (3.53) In Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House, Christine remarks on the fact that if she had not left Krogstad, his life would be completely different. The quote reflects the recurring theme of the play, which is that a plentitude characters’ lives are affected by single actions. The protagonist of the story, Nora Helmer, makes multiple decisions throughout the play that completely alter the course of her life, but one choice in particular affects her life the most. Nora Helmer’s life is irreversibly changed after she illegally borrows money, as she saves her family from harm, gets in financial and legal trouble, and goes through self discovery.…
