I’m Nobody’s Puppet My parents had no problem changing the strings, makeup, and costumes whenever they forced me to dance as their puppet to entertain their audience. I had to be quiet and let them lead, smiling, speaking, and laughing on cue. They even strung the corners of my lips, stretching them wide and painful, censoring my emotions. I had two appearances in my puppeteer form: one as the perfect serene Indonesian Muslim, and the other a humble Peruvian Catholic. My parents were both…

Besides, do you want the candies or the puppet?” She got me there; I had to decide whether I wanted the puppet…

They have mastered the art of (cant think of the exact word rn) personifying behaviors onto their puppets. Through the use of symbolic images, and colors, the speaker of “While Chopping Red Peppers” conveys the message that she loathes her father’s controlling nature with how other people will perceive her. The imagery of the poem creates a connection…

Dumas uses a grain of sand to show the counts title as being miniscule since that was the only thing he could achieve again after destroying his destiny. The count now has this small, little title since he lost his big great title of being captain of the Pharaon. Just like a lot of people who act different after they reach their destiny. Dante's was radiant with his great title that he worked so hard for, but once he received it he was excited and did not work as hard anymore. He showed his…

free will. I would argue this considering that, in this instance, it is stated that he did so “without thinking”, indicating that this was not a consciously chosen behavior, at least from the attacker’s perspective. A libertarian might counter my position by saying that there was no physical event to cause the action, therefore the attacker must have acted freely. I answer by acknowledging that there is no physical action to cause the attacker to throw a punch, but offer that perhaps emotions or…
