Nora’s Piano Author: Leyton Pritchard Nora was walking down the street she lived on, just outside of Marshalltown Iowa, not able to think of what instrument she wanted to play in her music class. She just moved into Marshalltown about 9 days ago because her family thought they needed a change in scenery. They were fairly wealthy compared to most that lived in Marshalltown. She already got to see her school and her classes and one of them was music, which had 1 variable that the other classes didn’t. She had to choose what instrument she wanted to learn to play. Her main problem was that she had never even touched an instrument before; she never had too. She has always been fascinated with the violin and the piano, but choosing 1 over the other would be impossible for her. While pondering that though, her mother called her to the moving truck. She grew up in a pretty clean environment so smelling the near toxic stench of the trucks exhausts made her very queasy. Her parents were standing on the side of the truck so she decided to join them and escape the black cloud. ‘’Why did you call me down to the truck?’’, Nora asked nervously. ‘’Did I do something wrong?’’ Without saying even a single word Nora’s mother gestured towards the back of the truck. …show more content…

It was white with little copper colored wave designs lining the bottom of the piano. Nora’s father said in explanation, ‘’ We feel that you would be great at playing the piano, so we got this piano for you. Do you like it?’’. Nora expressed her gratitude and went to her room where the piano was being moved, trying not to show any sign of displeasure. She felt that it wasn’t right for her parents to make that decision for her, but what’s done is done. She did think to herself before that she wanted the

With Torvald’s condition, Nora’s only alternative in order to fund the trip south, is to obtain a loan.

  • Essay On The Pianist

    2382 Words  | 5 Pages

    Racism, persecution, and finally extermination; these were the terrible things that Gypsies, Russians, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Homosexuals and Jews had to face during World War II. Hitler took power in January 30, 1933 becoming the prime minister of Germany (Judy L. Hasday p. 12). By 1945, Germans, or the Nazis, had killed nearly two out of every three European Jews as part of the "Final Solution," the Nazi policy to murder the Jews of Europe (U.S. Memorial Museum). More than six million Jewish men, women, and children had been annihilated (Judy L. Hasday p. 12). German authorities were exterminating Jews and many others that were considered inferior to the Aryans. Hitler believed any one that was not an Aryan was inferior to their pure race. He believed in a race that included fair skin, blond hair, and blue eyes a pure German blood. The ones who did not meet these standards were considered a menace to the world. The Holocaust was their “Final Solution” (Gerald Reitlinger 1953). In the movie The Pianist, Wladyslaw Szpilman and all Jews were segregated from everything they had to share with Germans, this included restaurants, bars, and simple things like sidewalks. When Hitler had gotten to power he ordered to boycott all Jewish stores. This made it harder for Jews to survive. Then the authorities took everything the Jews had away, even their coins were worth less than a regular piece of metal. But why would anyone stay in the place where they are not wanted? The Pianist is a film that is historically correct because it portrays the cruelty that took place during the holocaust; it showed how much families struggled together to survive in the concentration camps.

Never in the history of the world had man kind experienced such evil against one class of people. The Pianist, a movie directed by Roman Polanski, is a touching, yet brutally honest film about a man living under the unforgiving conditions of the Holocaust. Adrien Brody demonstrates spectacular acting skills while playing this man, Wladyslaw Szpilman. The story starts out in Warsaw, Poland, 1939, at the house of Szpilman’s Jewish family. Szpilman helped to support his family by playing the piano at different cafes and bars, and for the Polish radio station. By 1940, the Nazi force had already impacted many of the Jewish population. The Jewish were only allowed into some shops and restaurants, they had to walk in the gutters, and bow to the Nazis. On October 13, 1940, the Nazis issued an announcement stating that all Jews had to report to a “settlement” in Warsaw by the 31st and wear one-inch armbands with the Star of David printed on them. This was to dist...

    middle of paper ... ... Music was not taught in the high school I was in. To satisfy my interest in learning about music and how to play musical instruments, I had to find a source of education other than school; a great depiction in agreement with Graff’s claim that students are being limited by not considering their interests when creating curricula (Graff 197). In conclusion, education is broader than just falling into what the contemporary school system has to offer. Both Gatto and Graff proved this by explaining how conforming students to certain perspectives of education limits their potential in other educational branches that interest the students.

  • Character Development of Nora from A Doll's House

    874 Words  | 2 Pages

    Ibsen's character development of Nora is represented by animal imagery. From the beginning of the play, we notice Ibsen's use of animals to describe Nora. In the opening lines, Torvald says, "Is that my little lark twittering out there?" (Wilke 1139). Webster's defines "lark" as a songbird and to play or frolic (Guralnik 340). The reader automatically gets an image of Nora as a carefree, happy person. In the following paragraphs, I will show how animal names are used to paint a portrait of the character of "Nora the Lark."

  • Gender Identity In The Story Of An Hour By Kate Chopin

    1241 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Secret Life of Walter Mitty by James Thurber is a short story that was written in 1937. The short story is about an older man who takes his wife to town for her weekly beauty shop regimen and to also to buy food and weekly supplies. In one story, the male feels imprisoned in marriage and it’s the opposite in the other story. The Story of An Hour by Kate Chopin was published almost half a century prior in 1894. Chopin provides her view of the role of stifled and repressed, married women of the time. The principal character, Louise, feels that she will achieve freedom from the constraints of marriage when her husband passes away. During that time frame divorce was practically unheard of. Death was the only way to be released from the bonds of a miserable marriage. Both of the stories contain themes throughout of marriage and what the roles of husband wife should be. Gender roles are defined as the overt expression of attitudes that indicate to others the degree of your maleness or femaleness. It could be said that your gender role is the public expression of your gender identity. The cohesiveness between the material, style and layout of the short stories provide us with an clarity of what gender roles and matrimony were like then versus modern times.

  • Playing the Flute

    1188 Words  | 3 Pages

    Of all the instruments laid out on display, only one caught my attention. I was thirteen at the time, and naturally, my eye was drawn to the shiniest of the group. I had never heard the sound of a flute before, aside from the cheap imitation of one on my family’s electronic keyboard. Nevertheless, I picked the pretty, gleaming, easy-to-carry flute on that first day of band class. Three years later, I can’t imagine playing anything else. What started off as blind luck and an attraction to shiny objects is now a part of my life. Playing an instrument is always a worthwhile investment; you develop a skill that many people only wish they had, you have opportunities to meet other musicians, and you may even get to travel in a band setting. But in order to reap the benefits, you first have to learn how to play.

  • Nora's Decision to Leave in A Doll's House

    1431 Words  | 3 Pages

    Many women in modern society make life altering decisions on a daily basis. Women today have prestigious and powerful careers unlike in earlier eras. It is more common for women to be full time employees than homemakers. In 1879, when Henrik Ibsen wrote A Doll's House, there was great controversy over the out come of the play. Nora’s walking out on her husband and children was appalling to many audiences centuries ago. Divorce was unspoken, and a very uncommon occurrence. As years go by, society’s opinions on family situations change. No longer do women have a “housewife” reputation to live by and there are all types of family situations. After many years of emotional neglect, and overwhelming control, Nora finds herself leaving her family. Today, it could be said that Nora’s decision is very rational and well overdue.

    937 Words  | 2 Pages

    Walking into my great-grandmother’s living room as a child; lavender filled the room, almost attacking your nose. You would peer through the doorway and immediately see the dark wood of her classic upright piano. It was a piece of art; a sculpture in her private collection. The piano was a remarkable sight; thereupon, any guest who saw the inside of that room always commented on it. At my age, I could only gaze over the edge of the keyboard and admire the worn down, pearl-white keys. But, I still loved to play around on the piano, even though my hands showed novicey. When I sat on the matching bench; my foot acted as a phantom limb, trying to reach blindly for the pedals. The piano resonated beautifully when it played right, and oh dear,
