“When letters are put together, they can mean so much, and they can mean nothing at all,” said Nora Raleigh Baskin in her book Anything But Typical. There are 26 letters in the alphabet, and some people know exactly how to arrange them so that they mean so much. Words, sentences, quotes - can show you how to live, help you understand feelings, and can stay in your mind forever. You can find quotes anywhere. Books, something said to you, online, poems, or any words that touch you. Things you hear or read and want to keep forever, words that have so much feeling you need to keep them. I normally write down two to five phrases or sentences from any book I read. Sentences that I love so much that I need to keep them stored away in a notebook, something
I can read later and cherish. I love words because, unknown to some people, they have so much meaning and can really help people. Someone could be feeling completely helpless, and a simple phrase or a couple words could give them hope. Quotes can go with your feelings, help you understand them. Help you get through things with some inspirational words. Sad words to go with gloomy feelings, and a few happy phrases to cheer you up. Quotes that reach out to you, maybe because it’s a unique perception on something, or it says something about life and the world that is new and gives you inspiration, or helps you understand something. Some people overlook how much words mean, and I think that’s sad. There’s just something so raw and beautiful about quotes and words. Words can teach people, inspire people, help people, and stay with you forever. And that’s beautiful. I’m not completely sure why I love collecting quotes so much. The things I listed are just a few ideas. Even though I’m not great with words myself, I find quotes and words beautiful.

The one thing that every person is granted in life is having the option to choose. Choosing whether to stand or to sit; to go or to stay; to speak up or to stay quiet and fictional characters should be no different. In Henrik Ibsen’s play, A Doll’s House, the protagonist Nora Helmer is always making decisions that she feels are beneficial. Nora is like a typical housewife: devoted to her husband, children, and home. Just in the beginning of the play, she is seen coming back home after a day spent shopping for Christmas presents for her family. The reader grasps that she is a loving individual, but it also seems as if she is naïve. This all changes as the play continues. Just from how she handles situations and knowledge from her past, the reader understands that there is more to Nora Helmer than what her husband perceives. From vast choices like illegally stealing money and leaving her husband to minor ones like not wanting to see her children, it is revealed in the story that Nora is an intelligent and strong young woman.

For many years, humans have expressed thoughts through language. The first language was most likely rudimentary, lacking structure and norms; however, as societies rose and fell languages became more complex. Eventually speakers needed a mode in which to keep a record of spoken word. The need for a recordkeeping system drove the creation of writing systems. Writing systems have further facilitated the advancement of language. Poetry, usually involving complex rhyme and meter schemes would be much more difficult to create without an alphabet. The English language has been used poetically by many authors through the centuries that people have spoken and written it. One of the most well-known English speaking poets is Edgar Allan Poe.
Winston Churchill delivers meaningful quotes to his audience intended to convey them to have fate in their own lives. Winston Churchill states in this meaningful quote saying the importance of remaining strong throughout the troubles of life. there is no way that someone can make it through hardships of life without being strong and independent."We are still masters of our fate. We are still captains of our own souls." Winston expresses that we as people are responsible for what we ourselves are doing, that each individual person is able to control themselves, and not let others bring us down. This quote teaches me that I am able to make big decisions and have bigger fate in myself because I am the one responsible for what goes on in my life.
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.
