"After I got home on Monday, I locked myself in my bedroom and forced myself to drink mustard and hot sauce until I threw up. I haven't eaten since then. I've gone to work, but other than that, I haven't left the house either. Megan went to live with one of her friends after I yelled at her. I'm just tired now. I don't have the energy to do anything or go anywhere. I need money to pay bills so I go to work. Other than that, I'm just home alone. TV doesn't even interest me anymore." I explain to the group at Champions' church. I really didn't know who else to go to. I didn't go on Tuesday so I figured I might as well come today. "Have you heard anything from Marcus?" Pastor Keith asks. "No. But I'm glad. Forget him. Good riddance." I …show more content…

"I have to admit, I've never been given orange roses before." I add. "Alysonn, did you know roses, well, flowers in general but roses have a meaning behind them?" He asks. "What do you mean?" I ask. "Certain flowers can mean certain things. Red roses represent love and romance. White roses represent marriage and new beginnings. Yellow, friendship and joy." He answers. "What about pink?" I ask. "Pink, if I remember properly represent love and appreciation." He answers. "But do you know what orange roses represent?" He asks. I shake my head and place the roses beside me on the table. "Orange represents enthusiasm and passion." He continues. "Alysonn, I must confess something to you. If you do not approve or share in what I'm about to reveal to you, you may get up and leave right now and I promise to you that I will not be persistent. " "Okay.." I reply raising my brow. "I have found myself thinking about you a lot. I always anticipate our little meetings. I find excuses to go and see you at Spick 'n Span's and when it's time to part my heart is sad. Alysonn what I'm beating around the bush trying to say is I realize I have feelings for you." He

  • Insanity in A Rose for Emily

    1248 Words  | 3 Pages

    The author, William Faulkner, has a collection of books, short stories, and poems under his name. Through his vast collection of works, Faulkner attempts to discuss and bring awareness to numerous aspects of life. More often than not, his works were created to reflect aspects of life found within the south. Family dynamics, race, gender, social class, war, incest, racism, suicide, necrophilia, and mental illness are just some of the aspects that Faulkner explored. In “A Rose for Emily” the aspects of necrophilia and mental illness along with the societal biases that were observed in a small-town setting are seen to be a part of this captivating story. These aspects ultimately intertwine with the idea of insanity that characterizes “A Rose for Emily.

  • Analysis of Burn's Poem A Red, Red Rose

    572 Words  | 2 Pages

    'A Red, Red Rose', was first published in 1794 in A Selection of Scots Songs, edited by Peter Urbani. Written in ballad stanzas, the verse - read today as a poem – pieces together conventional ideas and images of love in a way that transcends the "low" or non-literary sources from which the poem is drawn. In it, the speaker compares his love first with a blooming rose in spring and then with a melody "sweetly play'd in tune." If these similes seem the typical fodder for love-song lyricists, the second and third stanzas introduce the subtler and more complex implications of time. In trying to quantify his feelings - and in searching for the perfect metaphor to describe the "eternal" nature of his love - the speaker inevitably comes up against love's greatest limitation, "the sands o' life." This image of the hour-glass forces the reader to reassess of the poem's first and loveliest image: A "red, red rose" is itself an object of an hour, "newly sprung" only "in June" and afterward subject to the decay of time. This treatment of time and beauty predicts the work of the later Romantic poets, who took Burns's work as an important influence.
