Lark

Victorian society valued a range of qualities that combined would result in being perceived as having good moral and gaining respect form society. This aspect of reaching and aiming to be of high moral and respect was apparent in the Victorian literature as well (Altick, 1973, p. 17). Victorian literature often explored the life of men and women in a given class and how they maintained their social status when pressured by outside factors, and just as often how they tried to improve their status…

Different stories of Joan have different depictions of her in her womanhood. For example, in Mary Gordon’s Joan of Arc, Joan is seen as a strong virgin girl who is naïve but powerful and is ultimately untouchable. In addition, in Jean Anouilh’s The Lark, Joan is seen as a flirty, desirable and sassy young girl who does what she needs to get her way. The Trial of Joan of Arc is another text in which Joan is depicted. In this text she is seen as…

mainly describes the cubs kneeling drink the breast milk. They all are about the filial piety from the children, and they all touch my heart actually. Indeed, as the opinion of this article expressed, youth’s first duty is reverence to parents. So the lark buried her dead father in her own head. There is an old saying, filial piety is the foundation of all virtues. Honoring parents is a traditional custom in China and it’s our bounden duty. A few months earlier, I watched a lecture video by a…

to a lark. In the beginning, Antonia was in an unfamiliar place and did not know the language or how to work. This is comparable to a lark when it first hatches out of its’ egg and cannot fly. She eventually overcomes these obstacles and learns how to speak English and how to work in the fields. Similarly, with time, a bird learns how fly and spreads its’ wings. Antonia would eventually have kids out of wedlock, and have the ability to provide for them by herself. This is comparable to a lark…

Three Strongest Words I really enjoyed the poem, Three Strongest Words. I liked this poem because though the poem was very short, it also was very deep and left me thinking about each word the author described. For instance, when the author wrote about the word silence, saying as soon as you say the word you destroy it I had to stop, and think what she meant. This poem also made me very confused because of the way the author presented the poem. For example, when she described someone speaking…

Desmond was one of the best known west coast alto saxophonists of the time and his contributions can be vividly heard on the album Time Out.

Shakespeare uses the image of the Lark to show that suffering is worth it for love. He wrote, “Like to the lark arises at daybreak it sings and flies. It delivers its song to “heaven's gate”( Shakespeare 1). Here is saying that he arose from the “sullen”, dark, earth and flew away to the gates of bliss and contentment because…

and treats her as if she is a pet, or his property. He has referred to her many times as “ ‘[...] a sulky squirrel’ ” as well as, on multiple occasions, his “ ‘[...] little lark [...]’ ” (Ibsen 866). These are just a few of the many times in which he used names of animals to refer to his wife, bird names in particular such as lark seem to be his favorite. Healthy relationships are built on a foundation of equality between the couple in which neither is superior in regards to the other. However,…

The murder is reminiscent of the introduction where Joe and his father are removing “small trees that [had] attacked [his] parent’s house at the foundation.” (Erdrich 1) In this case, Lark is the invader attacking the foundation and therefore it is Joe’s responsibility to remove him although this time around there is no feeling of triumph, just weariness. The invaders are no longer eliminated with care, with good intentions but rather…

Light symbolises purity and love, while darkness gives off the impression of fear, hate and violence. In Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet”, the playwrite flips the symbolism, blurring the lines between what is good and what is bad. In doing so, shakespeare gives off the message that not all things appear as they are first perceived. The play’s main characters’ Romeo and Juliet discover that love can be soothing, but it can also be rough. Hate can be malicious, but it can also lead to…
