How Mrs. Flowers’ actions are like a lifeline to Marguerite is when she invites Marguerite to her home and reads her favorite book and offers her lemonade a tea cookies which makes Marguerite feel special and gives her hope to live on. On quote in the story states, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…” Her voice slid in and curved down through and over the words. She was nearly singing.”(P.233) The second textual evidence for the answer is, “All I cared about was that she had made tea cookies for me and read to me from her favorite book. It was enough to prove that she liked me.”(P.233). This explains how Mrs. Flowers was able to shape Marguerite with her poetic voice and her offer to make her feels special by giving lemonade

    Dr. Flowers Summary

    After watching Dr. Flowers and seeing the way she perceives Obamacare, I personally have the say that I agree with her. She explained that since Obamacare is always praised, and always in the limelight, there are many drawbacks that must be brought to the forefront. One of the challenges that she brought up in her critique was that Obamacare has done nothing but force people to buy private insurance, create insurance exchanges, as well as spend more money to hire tons of people to knock on doors to sell private insurances. Not only are people forced into buying one of these private insurances, they’re also forced into paying more out of pocket expenses if they are seriously injured and have to go to an “out of network” doctor. It is not a step…

    To Kill A Mockingbird And Marigolds Analysis

    The combination of diction and imagery used in Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird and “Marigolds” by Eugenia Collier weave a mood of downtrodden hopelessness. Throughout both passages, the authors describe a setting of desolate towns during difficult times, with townsfolk who have forgotten optimism. Such is utilized in To Kill a Mockingbird, as Maycomb is “a tired old town” where “grass gr[ows] on the sidewalks, [and] the courthouse sag[s]”; reading the description evokes an image of a town on the brink of bankruptcy, conveying the despair the inhabitants must feel (Lee). As the diction in the passage is usually equated with the elderly, Lee adds to the picture of a town on its last legs. In contrast, “Marigolds” focuses on the “arid, sterile…

    A Rose For Emily Grierson Character Analysis

    In William Faulkner’s, “A Rose for Emily” Mrs. Emily Grierson is the most prominent character, illustrated by the narrator. Strong willed and determined, Emily’s performance has been characterized as strong and peculiar. The narrator touches on the fact that Emily could be intellectually insecure.

This is demonstrated through countless situations in the story, the most significant being her denial of having to pay taxes, as she simply believes she do not have any. Further occasions…

    Emptiness is the feeling you get at 2 A.M when you look at your old Facebook photos, smiling at the old photos of yourself, and realize the people who made you smile, laugh, and giggle are no longer around. You look at these photos as a journey down memory lane but in reality deep down somewhere, you wish you could experience these moments just once more. There’s nothing wrong with having a glance at the past but substituting the past for the present and yearning for it is dangerous. The past has a captivating effect that makes us fall in love it because it helps ignite a sense of happiness and comfortability. You can see the idea of never wanting to let go of the past go in “A Rose for Emily” by William Faulkner. “A Rose…

    A Rose For Miss Emily Literary Analysis

    The narrator provides that Miss Emily is crazy in an obscure way. First the smell in which we can see in page 284, "will you accuse a lady to her face of smelling bad?" Second, when she wanted arsenic in page 286, "I want arsenic." Thirdly, how she never leaves her house in page 288. Lastly, she is crazy because when the townspeople went inside Miss Emily's house they found Homer lying in a bed decaying and found out that Miss Emily was sleeping next it in page 289, "Then we noticed that in the second pillow… leaning forward, that faint… long strand of iron-gray hair." We can infer that the narrators are just telling the story out of their observation from a first person plural point of view. The narrator is however very…

    A Rose for Emily Literary Analysis

    In “A Rose for Emily”, Faulkner shows the death of Emily Grierson and how her funeral service was attended by almost the entire home (Faulkner W. 2003, pp 594). The story has a flashback of how her father died and how she was abandoned by a prospective spouse. The author makes it clear that Emily’s father had driven away several suitors who wanted to marry her. Emily denies her father’s death for some days before she offers the body to be buried. When the father dies, Emily becomes very sick. She buys some poison to commit suicide. Emily kills her suitor, Homer, and hides herself in the house till she dies at the age of seventy four years. After her death, her suitor’s body is found in her house almost at the point of decay. The themes of death and change are common in the story. We are told about the death of Emily, her father, the town’s mayor and Emily’s suitor. This story shows that everything in the town has undergone a great change including Emily herself and also shows that the people in the town do not embrace change. Emily did not accept change when her father died. This is why she could tell the town’s people that her father was still alive. Literary analysis of “A Rose for Emily” can take many different approaches. These include psychoanalytical, feminist and structuralist approach.…

    An Analysis of My Fair Lady

    Last month I saw a wonderful production of the musical “My Fair Lady” at Jesse Hall as a part of the University of Missouri Concert Series in Columbia. Big League Productions, Inc. is the touring theatre company who put on the show. They brought their own set, which consisted of a study in which most of the scenes took place, as well as the street entrance to the home of Prof. Higgins. There was also an elaborate backdrop used for the scenes that take place in London’s Convent Garden. Prof. Higgins’ study was by far the most elaborate set. There was a staircase element as well as a balcony that was done in a beautiful Edwardian style, all blond painted woodwork with burgundy panels and burgundy carpet and upholstery. The walls were painted with a trompe l'oeil technique to match the actual wooden elements, and they also provided the illusion of floor to ceiling bookcases. The effect was beautiful to look at.…
