Tangerine Literary Analysis In the book Tangerine, Paul’s mother made many choices that changed the story in several ways. There were many occasions where she lied to Paul, and when he found out the truth, it caused a bigger problem. If she told Paul the truth from the beginning, there wouldn’t be such a big problem, but she waited until Paul found out. I believe that Mrs. Fisher wants to do good with Paul, but a lot of her choices lead to bad impacts. In this essay, I will talk about…

the corrupt must wear their ugliness on their faces as well as in their hearts and that the pure-faced must also be pure-hearted. Basil Hallward tells Dorian the evilness of man, “shows itself itself in the lines of his mouth [and] the droop of his eyelids” (Wilde, 109) He says to Dorian, “But you...with your pure, bright, innocent face... I can’t believe anything against you.” (Wilde, 109) Dorian is deeply influenced by this idea. He believes that, as long as he has his beauty and youthful…

Sunken beneath myriad stuffed animals, I would lovingly cling to the cotton cloth I dubbed pink blanky. Dragged along to school, road trips, and across the Atlantic, pink blanky followed closely behind my dependent 5 year old self. In times of crisis – usually the middle of the night – my blanky swore to protect me from witches and zombies, monsters and sandmen, vampires and mummies. Today, my pink blanky has retired, my thumbs expanding its constantly sprouting holes. Its friends, Mufasa (I…

lip gloss. It felt weird and cold, as if she had rubbed jelly on my lips. Blush was brushed lightly against my cheeks and I coughed as I inhaled the particles. Eunice told me to close my eyes and I did. There was a little bit of pressure on my eyelids and a slight tugging sensation on my eyelashes. When I finally opened my eyes, my eyelashes felt like they were glued together. During the entire wedding I kept…

Let’s make a new one to replace it, like: “Be happy.” Or “Life is what you make out of it.” Or my favorite, “Don’t do today what you can do tomorrow.” Yeah, that is an expression that really fits me. Due tomorrow? Do tomorrow. That’s my philosophy, or at least it was. Until that paper, that dreadful essay about the Fourteenth Amendment. Due Monday, June…
