Ever since we were young, she had to have everything. Absolutely everything. Delia had always been known to be the one who loved to laugh. I was known as being stern and still, but that’s solely due to all the pain Delia has caused me in the past and everything she has taken from me. Flirtatious laughter fills the house as Delia basks in all the attention from the interested men. Her voice irks me to no end, and her personality is so disgusting to me and above all, it enrages me. Her words pierce my ears like a pair of car headlights, slicing through the darkness that is my soul. Hot tears are beginning to well up in my eyes, falling down my cheeks, the same way I fell for Nathan Singleton. I suddenly hear Nathan’s voice behind me. I quickly wiped my tears …show more content…
This is something I have been forced to get used to. Years and years, I have had to put up with her rude, hurtful, embarrassing remarks, only to have her apologize each time and me responding untruthfully with “It’s okay.” It’s never okay. Since when was it “okay” to put your older sister down and belittle them? Since when was it okay to put me through all this pain and suffering? Why? Why me? I have been nothing but kind to her and I’ve always helped her when she needed it, but has she ever done the same to me? Now that I think about, the only thing she has ever done was the absolute polar opposite to me. Fast forward to November. Nathan and I got engaged and we had an engagement party. When Nathan went and told Delia, she didn’t have much to say at all, but Dobson bought Delia a pony. I will never forget our engagement party. The anger. I was sitting at the pump organ playing a beautiful piece. Suddenly, someone had to make a grand entrance. Delia. She comes in with this beautiful pony, completely ruining my moment. That day was my day. Not hers, but mine. Everyone ran to her when she got off her dumb pony, only beginning her show. I was left at the pump organ, with
“Take me to the next town. I don’t care where it is. Just take me there.” The girl whispered, shivering and sopping wet from the rain.
She always wanted to be the center of attention, she was prejudiced and believed things should stay the same, and she was very selfish. While she thinks she’s above everyone else, she feels that the world revolves around her.
There I am lying, I am awoken by a bright shimmering, yet quite bothering light, I slide to my right to find my angelic husband Demetrious, he was breathing softly and faintly, I wrap my arm around him onto his buff body, and his eyes stare at me gracefully, I come to acceptance and find myself thinking how this happened, from hopeless back then, to happiest I could be, and all because of one man, he made me feel gloomy like when we first met, his eyes would affectionately stare deep into your eyes. His bright personality brightened up my day, that one special day, the most beautiful day of day, it was a sunny, warm yet quite balanced day, everything was going normally, then carelessly out the corner he came, Demetrious, and one problem was that he liked my hearty, hysterical good friend Hermia. Hermia had a generous and gentle personality, she had beautiful eyes and I was very fondly jealous of her, she got all the cute, boys that I always admired, yet one day things unexpectedly turned the other way around.
She worked hard as a wash woman and was the sole money maker in the household. She grew more independent mentally as the story went on and the reader could tell this by the dialogue between Delia and Sykes and the description of Sykes reactions. For instance, when they were arguing at the beginning of the story over Delia washing the clothes, it was said that, “she seized the iron skillet from the stove and struck a defensive pose, which surprised him greatly. It cowed him and he did not strike her as he usually did” (Hurston).... ...
Delia, an abused wife, has many conflicts deep inside which make her change: from being abused to defend, from shouting helplessly to anger then to a scary calm, and from accepting to revenge. The story began with the picture of Sunday's night after church, at eleven o'clock in the evening. Delia was still working. As a washwoman, Monday's morning was important for her because she would return all the clean clothes and earn her money. That money was to pay for the house, her food, and the pony which Sykes, her husband, had gone with.

Sophia Garcia was a 14-year-old freshman who cared about her family, the latest season of Friends, and the Patriots. Being in a household with six athletic brothers, from a young age Sophia had the experience of playing numerous sports, her favorite being football. Unfortunately, her high school only offered football for boys, and in return, offered cheerleading for girls. However, Sophia craved to play for her high school football team.

By now the conversation has almost become a monologue, Nicodemus only interjecting to allow Jesus to launch into further thoughts, but from a slightly different direction!
Her weakness overlaps her strengths. She cares about her boyfriend too much, while he doesn’t. Sharon Blake made this girl seem rude and a bit of disconsolate in her. “I can’t help it. I get mad all over again.” This quote shows how her emptions change overtime, and how she might tend to seem bipolar. Although she gets mad frequently, she can remain calm. She also seems to have much hatred for other characters in the story, including herself. “I hate ‘em just the same.” This quote is an example of the hate she has towards the other people.
Today my first task was to visit the swineherd and my father’s loyal friend, Eumaeus. Once I reached his home, his dogs began to crowd around me, yet did not bark or make any noise. I stood at the door as Eumaeus, startled, rushed towards me and began to kiss my head, and not long after, he began to cry. He has acted like the father-figure I never had since my dauntless father left around 20 years ago when I was only an infant, so I would understand why he acted in such a way. Ever since my father, Odysseus, went to war against the Trojans, I have been left alone with my mother, Penelope. I’ve heard many stories about him and his cunning ways. Many of his own men had returned after fighting that war, but my father was not amongst the ones who did,
She controls every moment she is on stage, and at the same time she is barely in control of herself. Her innocence and helplessness and, in the next moment, her capacity for cruelty, to wound those she loves the dearest. Her shifting alliances, her need to lay blame, to accuse and then excuse. To punish and then forgive. She is the most complex and fully realized character…” (Lange,

After Tereza arrives to Prague to visit Tomas, he is both overjoyed and concerned about what will happen with Tereza, especially after he sees her luggage. “He had celebrated [his divorce] the way others celebrated marriage… He tried to design his life in such a way that no woman could ever move in with a suitcase… the enormously heavy suitcase stood by the bed” (Kundera, 10). Tomas hates the life of weight, and he enjoys his erotic friendships. We can see in his inner monologue that after his messy divorce with his previous wife, he vowed never to take on another woman's weight.
I knew she was just worried about me, but to be honest it bothered me. It sounded masochistic, but now I didn't want her to have stopped Alia from insulting me. She was my sisters, we were both near the perfect age to be 'moody teenagers' and we lived under the same roof. It was almost natural for us to yell at each other frequently.
...e greatest prank in our school’s history. And she stopped Mrs. DeCostia from stealing from Mrs. Redrik” Then he took my hand and led me down the hall, past all of my friends, to the stairs. I stopped. “What was that for?” “I was just giving credit where credit was due.” He slipped his hand into his pocket and pulled out a rather large ring. “You knew the whole time?!?” “Yeah when we and Matt moved the desk it fell out and I picked it up, I was waiting to give it back until DeCostia got busted.” “Oh my god…” “Anyway, what are we doing tonight? Movies, ice-cream, maybe some pizza?” “We’re hanging out tonight?” “Yeah I have to hang out with my girlfriend to celebrate the undermining of our psycho home wrecking teacher.” “Your girlfriend?” “Yeah...” He said into my hair as he put his hands around my waist and pulled me closer to him “Who else would I hang with tonight?”
