    The final paragraph of the poem leaves the reader with a satisfying sense of peace, where he basically says that although his mother spoke her mind and was firm on her beliefs, and though the things did may have sometimes been a nuisance, she was his mother. The things she did made her the person she was. Her characteristics were the things that made her real. Though eulogies are usually spoken with a soft tone, and speak of all the great things the person did, the reality is no one is perfect, and the flaws that people have make them who they are. The author’s purpose was to show his true love for his mother. He loved her because she was, in fact, so fierce and outspoken, which is why the thought of this poem is so important.…

    However, Vyse’s next exhibit at the RA, 1923, his Flower Seller (RA 369), can easily be identified from the description published in The Pottery and Glass Record as Daffodil Woman (Fig 50). Vyse, is thought to have encountered a young woman selling spring flowers in Chelsea, and began to sketch her, another subject to model. Standing 10 inches high, this figure is the tallest figure of the genre in the Vyse canon. Daffodil Woman is unusual among the early figures and appears for Vyse to have been a work in progress. Furthermore, it seems curious that Vyse should model three quite similar versions of the subject. There is no extant evidence of which model came first, or why Vyse found it necessary to alter the original or indeed a second version. The differentiating features concern the modelling of the white apron. The two styles of bodice and dress length, render the changes all the more…

    So first up is “The Bouquet”; I sympathized mainly for the young girl named Sophie. Society’s faults stunted her growth as an individual, and kept her from bonding with those she desired relations.

    "She lay awake, gazing upon the debris that cluttered their matrimonial trail. Not an image left standing along the way. Anything like flowers had long ago been drowned in the salty stream that had been pressed from her heart. Her tears, her sweat, her blood. She had brought love to the union and he had brought a longing after the flesh. Two months after the wedding, he had given her the first brutal beating. She had the memory of his numerous trips to Orlando with all of his wages when he had returned to her penniless, even before the first year had passed. She was young and soft then, but now she thought of her knotty, muscles limbs, her harsh knuckly hands, and drew herself up into an unhappy little ball in the middle of the big feather bed. Too late now to hope for love, even if it were not Bertha it would be someone else. This case differed from the others only in that she was bolder than the others. Too late for everything except her little home. She had built it for her old days, and planted one by one the trees and flowers there. It was lovely to her, lovely." (Hurston 680).…

    Mrs. Mallard has heart problems, and she hears the news that her husband, Brently, has died in a train accident from her sister, Josephine, and her husband's friend, Richards. At first she starts crying thinking about abandonment, but that ceased when Mrs. Mallard goes to her room. She becomes filled with joy when she realizes that she is free. Louise and Brently love each other, but Louise still feels oppressed. Louise feels oppressed because Chopin lived from 1851-1904 and during those times women's rights weren't a priority. The wives were supposed to listen to their husbands and do as they said. The story never talks about Brently forcing Louise to do anything, but when Louise is being described, it states: "She was young, with a fair, calm face, whose lines bespoke repression and even a certain strength" ( 516). Mrs. Mallard's lines on her face are caused by repression. She has a strength of being a woman and is able to handle being in a marriage. When Louise is sitting in her room staring out the window at the sky, she realizes she has regained her independence and is excited about it. She is free! She thinks about the future and feels a joy about living for herself and says a quick prayer that her life will be long. On page 517 it states, "There would be no powerful will bending hers…

Louise Mallard suffers from a heart problem and by reading the story seems very delicate. . They are considered a working class couple where Mr. Mallard is a railroad worker and Mrs. Mallard is a housewife. When looking at the Mallards they seem to be a pretty normal married couple in the nineteenth century. Mrs. Mallard was told that her husband was in a dreadful accident by the railroad. When Josephine, her sister, broke the news to her along with her husband’s friend Richard, at first Louise shut down. She cried in her sister’s arms and then grieved alone in her bedroom. Chopin was very descriptive when she says that Mallard was sitting looking out into the blue sky, then leaning her head back into the cushion falling asleep until a sob came up into her throat and shook her.

    (132) As captivating as the story is about how the trace of her son blood made its way all the way to Ursula house, the reality is that some mothers have that sense when there is something wrong with their child. The mother’s close relationship with their child is a special bond and sometimes mothers have that intuition that there is something wrong with their child, so it is a normal reaction to reach out to their child to find out if their ok. Another magical real is seen after the death of Jose Arcadio Buendia that the town of Monaco was covered with tiny yellow flowers that had fallen from the sky and that had to be shoveled and raked to make way for the funeral procession could pass by.
