Number of Words: 1230 / Number of Pages: 5
... his parents "strayed to
the copper mines."
This poem makes me think about my grandma and all the wonderful things she
has done for me. The speakers aunt is an old fragile woman, "hoe-broken palms"
and "scrawny ribs." But she is also a very hard worker and loving person. Both
these things remind me of my grandma. My grandma may be old and fragile but she
is still a very hard working and loving person. My grandma is always up at
first light doing household chores or working in her garden. Many times we have
to force her to go inside, so she won't be exposed to the hot sun for to long.

... her back in a wave of sunlight ; and her long bare legs repeated the angles of the frangipani stems, bare, shinning brown stems among patterns of pale blossoms." We follow the movement of his eyes that see her as a shinning light that illuminates his life to which he is addicted. Moreover, Lessing's detailed description gives us a clear picture of every event such as the grandfather's obsession to get Lisa's attention : "Obstinately, he made his way to the house, with quick, pathetic, persistent glances of appeal back at her. But she never looked around." The author also questions her readers t ...

Analysis Of The Sacred Pipe
Number of Words: 729 / Number of Pages: 3
... good gamble. That was becuase this book was different in the sense that it got way more in-depth with the beliefs and different legends of the native Americans than all other books that I have read. That provided a new outlook and different feel which helped keep my attention.
What I also found interesting was the similarity of the religious beliefs that these particular native Americans had to Seventh day Adventism. Not so much that they belived in the same people or the same bible that we believe in but like I mentioned the God that they believed in, Wakan Tanka was a three in one being just li ...

The Five-forty-eight
Number of Words: 1157 / Number of Pages: 5
... "Most of the many women he had known had been picked for their lack of self-esteem." It is clear that "picked" has a double meaning in this place. To fill a secretary's position was a mere masquerade, compared to the real reason of quenching his personal desires and victories. Because of his overconfidence, he underestimated Miss Dent. How could someone so young and frail do anything to harm a man like him? Now we begin to see a dark side of him. The words in the story begin to paint a picture of a man we are about to know a little better: "He was a slender man with brown hair - undistinguishabl ...

After Antony reveals that he has just heard news of his wife’s death, we are once again offered an example of Enobarbus’ freedom to speak his mind, in that he tells Antony to “give the gods a thankful sacrifice” (I.ii.162), essentially saying that Fulvia’s death is a good thing. Obviously, someone would never say something like this unless they were in very close company.
While acting as a friend and promoter of Ant ...
