In “Hope is the thing with feathers,” hope is characterized as a bird. “Hope is the thing with feathers/That perches in the soul,/And sings the tune without the words,/And never stops at all,.” Hope is always calling for you, perching, and waiting, on you. “I've heard…
her “‘Hope’ is the thing with feathers...” poem she uses a metaphorical description of hope as a “little Bird” that “sings the tune”.

Since we coordinate quite a few transfers for patients who have had a stroke or TBI, some of the staff at New Hope knew me or at least knew of me. Honestly, I was…

Desmond Tutu described hope as, “...being able to see that there is light despite all the darkness.” Throughout history, hope has inspired people to continue on when all else seems to have failed.

Hope One theme that is present in both the novel The Cellist of Sarajevo and the movie The Pianist is hope. Hope is shown in the novel in many ways: Kenan and the light bulb, Kenan and the water, and the Cellist playing his cello for the 22 dead.
