As I Lay Dying

Janie was mainly passionate about love, but she seems to give in to some of these guidelines, patiently waiting for her chance at love. This is not to say her love, for those she opposed, was not true, but a different type. For example when Janie lays under the blossoming pear tree, she observes a bee pollinating it, and she describes this as a "love embrace," "ecstatic shiver," and "creaming in every branch," which shows her passion for love. A feeling she would not encounter again until her…

Frost bitten toes, fingers, and faces wear icicles lay from strong winds forcing their eyes to tear. seal and dog in my opinion wouldn’t really satisfy my taste buds but you would be getting quite a bit of protein,mm mm protein, but i'm pretty sure they would have enjoyed that meal considering what they had. 127 hours in a place where nobody can hear you, all alone in the dark and in the day. Both very life threatening survival stories and luckily survived them, the times when you feel alone, or…

what is music? My response was that music is like another language, that tells stories, records history, and a way to solve problems. Which I still agree with, but I now just look at music from a different angle. Now the question is not so much what is music, but what can you do with it. The technical part, such as dynamics, tone color, and pitch, only lays a foundation and without a good foundation, you don’t have nothing to build off of. Don’t get me wrong, these three elements of music are…

Beyond hope, carrying the fire can be seen as a mission to carry the imprint of mankind left in the void. When the old man meets the boy, he expresses that “I haven’t seen a fire in a long time, that’s all. I live like an animal...When I saw that boy I thought that I had died” (172). The simile compares his life without fire to a wild life of an animal and this beastial imagery of the old man connotes that humans seem to no longer exist. The rest of the world…

shut your trap or go home-I declare to the Lord you’re gettin’ more like a girl every day!’” (Dickens 69). To Scout, that is not a compliment. She takes offense when Jem says that, and Jem knows it. Scout finds criticism and conflict everywhere she turns, and that only makes her feistier. In The Secret Life of Bees, Lily is also a victim of abuse. Her dad is nowhere near supportive. For example, T. Ray makes a demeaning comment every time Lily tries to read a book: “Whenever I opened one, T. Ray…
