Midsummer: Beauty and Girl
The peak of the summer Are you aware of the beauty of the youth that glows with the unstained purity and the audacity from the vigorous freshness? Arguilla’s story of Midsummer depicts a story in which a youthful boy and a girl share the intimacy that developed with the natural inclination toward each other that prompted at the charming figures of the young bodies. To help readers build what this story conveys, the disclosure of the story which follows the general chronological sequence showcases the slow but sure emotional progression of the boy and the girl as well as the escalation of the appeal that trapped them together (they became trapped at each other). Further, the place set in the story, a rural Philippine area, in which the taste of the languor floating over throughout the story evokes the sense that something unusual and sensational seemed to have happened.
Along with what the characteristics of the characters, the setting and the development of the story suggest, we can pretty (omit pretty) well conceive what Arguilla was tries to draw a picture out of this story; The peak of the youthfulness blooms under the stimulus of counterparts’ beauty and the energy. The two young (characters), surely in the summit of their age, as green as the leaves shining under the sun’s rays, radiant with liveliness and vitality, and tickled with the curiosity to what is unknown to one, finally reached its glamour to the fullest from discovering what is inside. After all, finding one in full blossom allowed from knowing the counterpart’s secret of beauty leads to their peak of beauty just like Midsummer.
The boy looked idle or rather unoccupied, driving the cart of the cow as his due for his labour, at the beginning of the story. But sooner or later, after he spotted the beauty of the girl, he glowed with the ardor that led him to follow the path the girl disappeared into, and his thirst for the girl only piled up after witnessing the wetted bosom of her.

    I am Kaitlyn Luepann and I am portraying the fairy attendants Peaseblossom, Bottom, Cobweb, and the “jester fairy” Puck From William Shakespeare’s play, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” I will be portraying all these characters as one character with characteristics of all four. The ways I am going to adapt the characters that I am portraying are for me to have a witty sense of humour, yet have common courtesy and manners, and have respectful body language and a humourous tone of voice because the three fairy attendants are very respectful, but Puck is humourous. How I adapt all of the fairies body language and tone of voice from the play to the modern day is to be a respectful Starbucks worker, who cracks jokes in a funny manner while customers…

    The flowers, “rosa y azucena” are metaphors that reflect her facial expression and appearance, for example, the pink colour from the rose reflects the sign of vivacity in the lady. It could also be interpreted that the rose is a sign of her hidden passion for him. The white lily is a reflection of her honesty, purity and innocence. Here, Garcilaso is comparing the lady to a flower, soft, gentle and delicate. The adjectives “ardiente, honesto” are used to describe her gaze which gives us a further insight as to what this woman is like. If she has a burning gaze, then it is without a doubt that she has passion, but she is also honest which is again, a depiction of her calmness…

    Flowers. A truly respectable descriptive essay has the ability to do this; provide imagery so strong that the reader will find him or herself connected with the main character, and feeling the same things as this character. In the final portion of this essay, the author is now alerting the reader’s sense of smell and taste. From the moment the little girl enters the apartment of Mrs. Flowers, the reader is just as overwhelmed by the smell of vanilla as she is. When they sit down to eat, the reader, too, can taste the round wafers and is just as refreshed by the cold, sweet lemonade. As Mrs. Flowers reads to Marguerite, the reader may find his or herself questioning his or her own abilities to recite, and how he or she may measure up to Mrs. Flowers’ sing-song…

    It appears that Hippolyta and Titania’s main purpose in the play is as a tool to reinforce male superiority and female subservience in order to add comedic strands specifically aimed at the original intended audience, in this case, the elizabethan royal court. Through an exploration of the themes of love, sexuality and marriage Shakespeare shows that the Women in the play are, to a certain extent, there to be the play toys of the powerful men around them; Whether a daughter is being threatened with death, unwilling marriage or a life as a nun or a Warrior queen is being forced into submission by a totalitarian husband, the opinions and feelings of a women are rarely taken into account, and, if acknowledged, are brushed to aside as seen in Act 5, Scene 1 when Hippolyta voices her opinions of Theseus’ choice of play.…
