Calpurnia Quotes Analysis
I believe that this quote from Darwin means a lot. In the book Calpurnia finds out that Harry has gotten a girlfriend. Calpurnia then in the book starts to question Harry’s girlfriend, with questions like “What does she look like” and “Where is she from”. Harry then starts to get a bit irritated due to all the questions. Calpurnia then starts to feel a little bit jealous of Harry and so she starts saying very rude things about his girlfriend, whom she has never met. This then brings starts a series of events that leads to Calpurnia’s mother finding out about her. Harry then becomes extremely angry and doesn't even accept Calpurnia’s apology.
This quote can relate to the book because in the book Calpurnia starts to lash out at Harry because

    My Antonia Quote Analysis

    • 3 Pages

    When thinking of how Jim defines happiness, I think that Antonia would disagree with this quote,”…to be dissolved into something complete and great, When it comes to one, it comes as naturally as sleep.” Throughout the book Antonia is ready to do everything right then at that time, and she doesn’t have the patience to wait on the good things to happen. Antonia is always ready to work and learn something new, but she lacks the patience to learn and to make sure she does it the right way. What Jim was saying is that, happiness comes at the right time, and that you cannot try to force it. The quote, “and I did not want to be anything more. I was entirely happy.” “Jim was glad that he felt like this in the hard times.” Also, another quote to…

When Lord Acton, an 1800s English historian, spoke these words he was warning others that if one person is given too much power, there will likely be consequences. He also stated when someone is given absolute power, there is not a doubt that person will become corrupted. In the same fashion, characters in The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer, abuse power or are affected by the abuse of power.
