celebrating New Year’s on April 1st. Those who were aware of the adjustment to the calendar, pranked those who weren’t by furtively sticking a deceased decomposing fish on an unsuspecting victim’s back each year on April 1st. Lucky for the French, as time passed, the way the once insolent prank was performed went under modifications. Instead of attaching a nasty dead fish to someone’s back, pranksters now use a paper fish. But one thing never changed from the many decades of April Fish Day, the name the prankster’s
the novel, Broken April. In these two stories, there is a sense of sadness and darkness that both author’s portrayed in them. The characterization between Gregor (from The Metamorphosis) and Gjorg (from Broken April) were actually similar in comparison. The similarities are isolation, loneliness, and their father figures.

A candid and straight person, Boyle has often admitted that, having never worked a day in her life, she had no idea what to do when she first began running the company. (2) Despite her lack of experience, Boyle helped turn Columbia from a company near bankruptcy and collapse into a billion dollar publicly traded organization. Along

Professor Papica English 1B 4 April 2014 Robert Browning’s My Last Duchess: Pretentious Killer The poem “My Last Duchess” by Robert Browning is not as mournful and heartbreaking as the title suggests. In fact, the poem is extremely dramatic and disrespectful towards women, making them seem as if women were dumb foolish objects.

These caretaker roles women play have come to define them and what they represent in society.
