Lies, truth, and a long walk on the journey to the destination of womanhood was all interpreted in Number The Stars by Louis Lowry.

Hansberry set her play in an old, once well-furnished and loved apartment in Southside Chicago after World War II. It is the story of an African American family’s struggle to prioritize futures and dreams and decide whose dream is most prevalent; once the family makes the choice to purchase a home with part of the money, they face an entirely new plight.

    Lena Lingard Character Analysis

    Lena Lingard intrigues me. She’s gentle even though she’s lived on the farm her entire life and she manages to make the littlest things exciting with her charisma. In ways, her adventurousness and excitement make her similar to Tony. However, they differ in that Ántonia possesses a quiet beauty and inner strength that contrasts with Lena’s liveliness. It’s strange-- I dream the same dream “a great many times, and it [is] always the same. I [am] in a harvest-field full of shocks, and I [am] lying against one of them. Lena Lingard [comes] across the stubble barefoot, in a short skirt, with a curved reaping-hook in her hand, and she [is] flushed like the dawn, with a kind of luminous rosiness all about her. She [sits] down beside me, [turns] to me with a soft sigh and said, ‘Now they are all gone, and I can kiss you as much as I like.’ I...wish I could have this flattering dream about Ántonia, but I never [do].” (109) I love Ántonia and her steady independence but I cannot see her in my dreams in…

    Never Let Me Go Theme Essay

    Throughout the novel there are events that modify the trust that Kathy and Ruth have. The three claims discussed revolve around the situations and problems that they face in the “cottages”. A few of the problems that occur are arriving at the cottages themselves, as this created problems, such as leaving all of the other friends that the three had at Hailsham. They also create a better trust through being confined together with people that they didn’t know, this increased their trust within each other. Finally they also have problems occur after they leave the cottages where they have lost the friendship that they once had truly cherished. These claims relate back to the thesis which is, one cannot trust another unless both people are willing to express disapproval at times.
