The Cherry Orchard

At a younger age Janie was curious about the idea of relationships and love, but her grandmothers strict view, as well as society's negative view on the subject, made it hard for her to understand what love really is. Janie views her grandmother as a very strong important figure. Hurston writes “Nanny had taken the biggest thing God ever made, the horizon-for no matter how far a person can go the horizon is still way beyond you,” (89) which portrays Nanny's view that dreams can never be obtained…

Hurston uses the imagery of the inside of Janie’s mind to display Janie breaking through a wall of sorts and displaying that one must go search for their lost objects if one wants to find themselves again. Some of the men were talking near Janie about what they would do had a women embarrassed them in front of people and that is when “Janie did what she had never done before, that is, thrust herself into the conversation”. (75) The word never means that an event or action will at no time occur…

As time passes, many factors change a person. Things such as the nature of their environment, people come and go, to dreams one might wish to pursue. Janie grew from a young bud to a beautiful tree, despite her environment being cruel to her. The people in Janie life and the nature of her circumstances influenced her growth from a naïve girl to a strong woman. Janie had a dream so far into the horizon that many people today have trouble achieving it; a harmonious love. A love that is…

The Almond Tree Essay Martin Luther King once said, “We must accept finite disappointment, but never never lose infinite hope.” This is a very strong theme conveyed throughout The Almond Tree. It teaches how hope must never be forgotten while withstanding trials. This theme is seen several times throughout the book as a young boy, Ichmad, and his family as they go through many trials that they must overcome. Michelle Corasanti is able to display this by the use of symbols. One of the most…

beginnings of a new school year, seeing the same faces just months ago, but everyone has somehow changed, even if only a little. I left my home this morning expecting nothing out of the usual, though I left earlier so I could take my time watching the cherry blossoms before the day began. As I was walking to school I forgot how beautiful the sakura were. I always hated walking up this ridiculous hill every day but, the rows of sakura made it a little easier to deal with. Although besides that I…

1. I think what is fresh in Cranes approach is the way we see the battle. We are seeing and hearing about the battle though the eyes of this young man who is referred to as the youth throughout the story. Though his single thoughts and feelings the story is told making it seem very real. 2. I think the paragraph from The Red Badge of Courage makes the reader feel like they are actually experiencing the events. I think this is because in the passage from the successes and failures of…

Being raised as 1 out of 5 children by a single mother, I have learned to acknowledge and appreciate the sacrifices my mother has made to be a great parent. And I feel that the only way to show my gratitude to her is by becoming successful and being happy with the decisions I make in life. In the passage “The Good Daughter,” Caroline Hwang gives an account of the obligation she felt when it came to repaying the sacrifice her parents made of moving from Korea to America for her. The main idea in…

Often times, in the court of law, and in society, murderers and crime offenders are often viewed as “hateful, malicious, and vicious” by the general public; and honestly, it’s easy to view them as such. You had said so yourself early this week about a certain case that occurred in which you asked, “What would make someone turn so evil?” However, I believe that our society has caused us to highlight and view criminals’ bad nature, rather than looking at the root of what caused them to go awry. At…

In “Saturday the Small Pox,” one pattern that is used throughout this passage is the use of objects or ideas to indirectly describe her beauty. In line one, Montagu describes how no one would ever acknowledge the idea of betraying her. This could be indirectly implying that men would never do such a foolish thing because her beauty is so remarkable and is the fairest of them all. To explain her contraction of smallpox, she also writes about how her beauty has fled. In line 9, she notes that her…
