It was the most alluring thing she had ever seen. She had one thing on her mind. Witch was getting to her mother as soon as possible. Her body was filled with excitement as she ran through the sad agriculture that was very dead. She approaches her mother Ceres’s house. She creeped the door open and walked in.

In her mothers gigantic rocking chair lied her mother Ceres sound asleep. Proserpina creeped quietly on her and woke her up by tapping on her. Ceres’s eyes opened one at a time and saw Proserpina. Ceres jumped up. She ran to the kitchen and got a knife. Screaming, “get out, get out!”. Over all this time that Proserpina had been trapped in the under world her mother had forgotten who she was and will never remember her again. Proserpina leaves the house crying thinking about what had happen, and wonders what is she going to do

    Evicted, a New York Times Bestseller book written by Matthew Desmond, captured many faces of a culturally diverse population. Many parallel stories were narrated, yet each was unique and contained tremendous consequences as well as the depth of its kind. The beauty in Desmond’s writing was signified by his audacious remark, with words and sentences that provoked one’s deepest feelings.

Multiple characters with distinct and rich background stories created a colorful book…

    Opening the once lonely door, there was a hallway that seemed to have just rejoiced with a once depriven necessity. As striking as the first rose in spring, her silky, soft, shiny hair combined with her enticingly exquisite eyes produced a sublime look; it instantly ejected any pressure in the room. Her presence would’ve even made an angry person hopeful. Withered by time, the plethora of thin liable cracks scattered across the olive-dyed floors and indigo walls with an antique circular pattern ; this house was old enough to live in a pangea . However, there was a skeptical sense of suspicion of this person.…

Feeling comforted by the sight, she once again closed her eyes, but those horrific visions were still fresh in her mind. Rinka realized that the nightmares were becoming more frequent over the past few weeks and even months once she really thought about the many nights of lost sleep. From conversations she’d overheard from her tribal elders and her kinfolk, she knew that the people in Roman occupied Germania were facing very dangerous times, made more so by the constant fighting between rival chieftains. And why was she never able to find her father in those nightmares, she wondered; certainly in a circumstance when she so desperately needed…

The use of an apple is particularly significant as it has biblical connotations, particularly, a connection with the story of Adam and Eve which could also be a reference to femininity. There are also associations between apples and temptation.…
