The Wedding

Good Evening everyone. Before I begin I would like to thank the Baccalaureate Committee for inviting me to speak this evening. I will point out that shortly after I was asked, a committee member told me that I had only five minutes to speak and should I go any longer, the microphone would promptly be shut off. As a teacher, this really does not surprise me, as every teacher knows that if we talk for more than five minutes in the classroom, every student chooses to turn off that little…

"Enjolras, you're coming to bed. Let's go." Enjolras was exhausted beyond belief, and it was apparent with the bags under his eyes and his groggy voice. Pasha had taken notice, and she was not playing around when she expressed her demand. Surprisingly, however, Enjolras did not argue nor hesitate, and he followed Pasha without a word of complaint. She turned off the desk light and led him to his room, separate from hers. "Thank you, Pasha." Enjolras whispered groggily, smiling weakly as he laid…

Good morning Melissa, I hope this note finds you well and having a great Wednesday! I apologize for making it there so late, I had an impromptu meeting at 1035 with Kim and I left the store later than planned, my thought was that you’d still be interviewing when I arrived so please know that. I don’t want to be disrespectful of your time as I know that you are very busy. I was so glad to shadow Kyle yesterday, that went a long way to helping me better understand the ordering process as well as…

Thank you very much. This is — great to be with people I truly feel comfortable with. Please sit down. They’ll say I didn’t get a standing ovation because they never sat down. And I say, I got one standing ovation because they never sat down. But I want to thank you. I have great, great love for what you do and the way you do it. And when I’m with the police chiefs and I’m with the sheriffs of our country — and these are the big ones. These are the really big ones. I just want to thank you…

In Dorothy West’s The Wedding, parents decide their children 's’ futures; their ideals are instilled and then passed on, from child to successive child. The cycle of the Coles family begins with Preacher. His life’s work is the improvement of the Coles’ name. He becomes a preacher, pandering to a white community through faith. However, Preacher becomes aware that he cannot rise to the top of society in one lifetime, but rather, over many. He views his son Isaac as the vessel for his successful…

Despite having a higher education and still unmarried above the age of 20, Marian 's ultimate goals seems to be raising a family with Peter, even if social conventions are likely to play a bigger role in this than psychoanalysis or her own desires: “Of course I 'd always assumed through highschool and college that I was going to marry someone eventually and have children, everyone does” (123,124). This alone puts Peter in a position of power within their relationship. Marian is not the kind of…

“Blood Wedding” by Federico Garcia Lorca is an undeniably complex play that uses many alternative religious symbols to convey death, truth, and betrayal in a unique way. The tarot card references in the play are likely the most effective and interesting symbols Lorca uses to translate his literary ideas to religious concepts. The use of tarot cards in Lorca’s work may seem subtle to those who don’t have experience with the religious tool, but for people who can easily identify tarot cards, their…

Dream”. On the other hand, the forest, especially at night, expresses the more mystical and magical side of the play. Finally, the wedding scene is employed to ridicule the lovers’ tiff in a satirical view of Shakespeare’s literary work. This literary analysis will guide the reader throughout the various scenes, and ultimately help bring him to a better…
