The last chapter from the book “Seedfolks” presented the last character - Florence. Certainly, she was one of the watchers from the neighborhood, one of those people who could not stay apart, one of those who carried for others, and, with any doubt, we can relate her to Sam from the previous chapter. Florence was a descendant of a freed slavery family who moved from Louisiana to Colorado and homesteaded along the Gunnison River. Since her family was the first African-American family in Colorado, her father called them seedfolks, which means the first of their family. Florence grew up out in the country, and she missed country things such as eating beans off the vine instead of getting them from the store or the smell of hayfield. Therefore, after she retired, she used to

In “ Annabelle Lee” Poe uses diction to show how the speaker deals with the death of his bride. Poe states, “ The angels, not half so happy in Heaven went envying her and me- Yes! – that was the reason,” which shows the death of Annabelle Lee has led the speaker to insanity (Poe 21-23) . We can
The play “A Raisin in the Sun” by Lorraine Hansberry has many interesting characters. In my opinion, the most fascinating character is Ruth because of her many emotions and captivating personality. She goes through extreme emotions in the play such as happiness, sadness, anger, stress, and confusion. Ruth is very independent, firm, kind, witty, and loving.

In crime and punishment the Russian society forced Sonja into prostitution in order to maintain societal regularities like so many girls before her throughout history.
At a young age, she defies her father and brother “with bold saucy looks,” and “ready words.” Throughout her life, they were the ones who tried to control her to be what they want her to be. She becomes friends with Heathcliff and they go out and do things that they want. Her brother was “entirely negligent how they behaved.” Her brother did not approve that Catherine and Heathcliff spent a lot of time together; so he arranged for Katherine to marry Edgar. Katherine, even when she is married, goes out and pursues her freedom. Heathcliff returns after a few years and wants to see Katherine. Edgar disapproves and wants Heathcliff out. Edgar walked out the room and Katherine “slammed the door and locked it.” Katherine was upset that Edgar talked to Heathcliff in the way that he did and that he wasn’t as happy as she was when Heathcliff showed up.

“Mockingbirds don't do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don't eat up people’s gardens, don't nest in corncribs, they don't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. Thats why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird” (119). In the novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, the first mention of a mockingbird appears when Jem and Scout are learning how to use their new air rifles. Atticus doesn’t want to teach them how to shoot the air rifles, but he gives them one rule to follow: do not kill mockingbirds. Later Scout, the main character, is told by Miss Maudie about how it is a sin to kill a mockingbird because they are innocent and they don't do anything to anyone. Throughout this story, there are several characters who are portrayed as mockingbird figures. Jem, Scout, Tom Robinson, and Boo Radley all fit the symbol of a mockingbird because they all start off innocent but are later changed dramatically by the brokenness of the world.

A scale is an instrument for weighing. It measures body fat, BMI, lean mass, muscle mass, and water ratio along with body weight. It is a simple machine used in many households across the world. However, for Rosemary Goode it is much more than that. The scale hiding in her bathroom represents all of the insecurities and strong hatred she has of herself. Rosemary tips over 200 pounds on the scale, and every pound that increases builds to her insecurities. Her lack of self confidence reflects to every aspect of her life; she has no friends at school except of the Snickerdoodles sold at the vending machine, she sucks down her stomach in the hallways refusing to make any eye contact with anyone, and bickers everyday with her aunt about her appearance.
Hollywood in the 1940s is centered on outward appearances, cultivating a veneer of glamor and prestige, but beneath the surface is a localized version of the American culture and its intense focus on turning anything that can produce a profit into a sprawling business. In The Loved One Waugh uses the funeral business to show this commercialization, and religion to illustrate the exploitation of what should be a revered practice. He also implements caricatures into his characterization to better illustrate how human nature acts in society.
The Lord of the Flies by William Golding is a peculiar story about boys stranded on an island, and the plot and characters relate to many prevailing events and problems. A specific problem that is currently occurring is the mutual hatred and enmity between North Korea and South Korea. This is a current event, but the North and South’s hostility has been ongoing since 1945, when Korea was split into North and South, Communist and Capitalist. When the 38th parallel(Border between North and South Korea) was created, Kim Il-Sung ruled the North, and Syngman Rhee ruled the South. As of now, a power hungry dictator, Kim Jong-un rules the north, and an optimistic president who wants to see change was recently elected in the South, named Moon Jae-in. In Golding’s book, Ralph is a character who aimed to keep everyone alive and to stay together. Jack on the other hand, wanted to have fun and hunt, and although he also wanted to be rescued, he made no effort to help. In this sense, North Korea is a clear representation of the character Jack and his quest for power, and opposingly, South Korea is a representation of Ralph and his strive for order, democracy, and civilization.
Is it our experiences that shape us, or is it us who shape our experiences? This question is posed, and answered, within Mercè Rodoreda’s novel, The Time of the Doves, as presented by her protagonist, Natalia, as she struggles to discover herself throughout the work. Natalia, as a mother, continues her duties to her children regardless of her current state, willing to kill them as a means of escape from a slow death. As a wife, similarly to her situation as a mother, Natalia is within the strong grasp of society; she remains tortured by the thought of her husband, Quimet, even after he has died, and it is only through re-marrying that she finds salvation. Additionally, as a woman Natalia views little within herself pre-epiphany, as she is too focused on her busy life to discover and realize who she is as a person. Mercé Rodoreda presents the struggle for self identity within her novel, The Time of the Doves, making use of her protagonist’s roles as a mother, wife, and a woman to emphasize the situation.
