I am the oldest sibling we haven't gone to school much I went when I was 5 and ending halfway through kindergarten when we started to lose money because my mom had my little brother. When my auntie and my uncle decided to move to Pyla France my mom wanted to go as well. So my Auntie started to tell me these cool things we are going to do like paragliding and the huge sand dunes that we could climb and all the planes and stuff we would have to take to go to Plya like a plane, driving also a boat but she also told me how long it would take to get there like she said along time plus my uncle told me that there are spiders there and I am terrified of spiders if I even see one I will wish it to willingly wither up and die. A few days later I was packing up and I found one of my old pictures of when I was little I was holding up a portrait of my dad that I had painted and he was in the picture standing right next to me, the picture that I had painted was terrifyingly terrible picture but then again I was almost 2 in the picture.

    The Lais of Marie de France are a collection of short stories that depict situations where love arises. The author presents love as a complex emotion and demonizes it and praises it in certain instances. She is not always in favor of love as is described by the outcomes by some of the lovers in the story, such as when they either end up dead in the end or banished because of their love. The author presents this notion of love because she believes it is not always justified to love someone. In the book, two distinct types of love are shown. There is selfless love and selfish love which are compared throughout the multiple stories in The Lais of Marie de France. By comparing the two distinct types of love, a universal truth about love can be derived to explain when love is and is not justified.…

    In The Lais of Marie de France, poet Marie de France illustrates many different kinds of love. The main themes being marriage and extramarital affairs. From reading the lais, Guigemar and Bisclavret, I believe that Marie has a traditional view of marriage. I can assume that Marie believes a marriage takes two to work. I also can assume that Marie believes that either partner can cause a marriage to fail. In her stories she does not put the blame of a failed marriage on just the husband or the wife, instead she creates different scenarios that causes the audience to recognize that it is not just one gender that possesses certain characteristics. She plays with what society would consider masculine or feminine by giving the characters opposite…

    Marie de France’s twelve lais are thought to have been written between 1155 and 1170 in England (Rikhardsdottir 26). The writer of the prologue to the set of lais introduces herself as Marie. Because she only offers her name and her wish for herself and her works to not be forgotten, not much is known about Marie de France (Kinoshita and McCracken 202), but her writings and the authors who mention her in their works help provide more information about Marie de France (Kinoshita and McCracken 207). Based on her name and style of writing, many believe Marie to have been a woman (Rikhardsdottir 32). William S. Woods believes she is a female writer because of the details she gives about items and people that are not necessary for the narrative…

    Beep, beep, beep the repetitive sound of Emile Laurays alarm clock made him sit up abruptly, as if he seen a ghost. Dreading his long trip to Libya, he rolled out of bed and got ready to go. He walked outside and gave his old Citroen 2cv the once over. He knew his car was solid, but he could not shake that bad feeling in the back of his mind that something was going to go wrong. Ignoring the feeling, he jumped into his car and took off down the street. After 30 minutes, Emile finally hit the soft sand of the vast Sahara Desert. After driving about an hour, Emile is stopped by a military fortification and forced to turn around. Instead he drove further out, and went around the fortification. Trying to get back on the road, Emile went too far out into rough, rocky, hard terrain at high speeds. The road wasn’t in sight, it was a nightmare! All of a sudden there was a big thud and everything went black.…

    My mom was sitting to the left of me and my dad was sitting next to her. “Hey Ba, have you ever tried dog or do people over in Vietnam eat dog?” I was expecting a straight “no” but my dad just laughed it off and brushed off my question. I was confused. Why do people always ask me this question? Can you imagine eating your own pet? Actually, let’s not think about that. I slowly became curious on how my cousins looked. I actually never met any of my family members before and I am curious on how they will react on Americans visiting them. You might wonder why I had all these weird thoughts but I was just a 10-year old girl. A bunch of things ran through my mind but I’ll stop it at there. We finally landed at the Tan Son Nhat International Airport. I don’t recall much on how it looked but it definitely wasn’t as nice looking as LAX. I anxiously followed my parents and helped grabbed the luggage. I felt drips of sweat running down my face and I began to feel sticky. The weather over here is bizarre. It was humid, gloomy, and rain started pouring out of nowhere. It was not the type of rain where you would want to run in. Suddenly, I hear a bunch of yelling. “HEY! HERE! HERE!” I didn’t quite understand what was going on because there were multiple of voices. Soon, I see a middle-aged man with glasses, wearing a white wrinkly dress shirt, only half of his buttons was buttoned, and some khaki colored shorts. He greeted my parents and then greeted my siblings and I. Who is this odd man and why was he smiling at us like he knows us? Yup, it was one of my uncles. You know in romantic movies, in every airport scene, there’s always that one person or a group of people holding a cute sign with your name on it? I was expecting to have one of those because I didn’t know what to expect and this was my first time at an airport. Wouldn’t that be cool though? But, of course it didn’t happen and I was a little disappointed.…
