A Little Princess and Cinderella use color symbolism to emphasize a plucky narrative in which flawed characters find…

“Who attacked you?” Vala inquired. “And how large was their force?” Arminius shook his head. “I’m not sure, General Vala, but from their shields and dress, they appeared to be foreign tribesmen from the north and west of the Cherusci.” “So, you’re saying this attack is not some blood-feud between you and Segestes,” Varus said, “and that there’s a rebel force nearby.” “It would appear that way, Governor,” Arminius replied, dutifully.

February 3, 2014. I was getting on the school bus like any regular day when I received a text from my mom like usual. I expected a casual ‘how was school?’ or ‘Love you, hope you had a great day.’ But it was far from that. My little sister Kennedy had not been feeling well, a little under the weather.

weeks ago. He said, “Brooke your whole life we have been teaching you to deal with the little things which is why you don’t stress them so much, why do you think when you are going through something we talk it out and then go back to it a few days later.” I never had thought about until that moment when we were discussing it but he is absolutely right.
