On Tuesday the class talked about the following quote‚" To seek the source‚ the impulse of a story is like tearing a flower to pieces for wantonness"(Kate Chopin). This quote feels like a spot on description of how a book should be read. I took this quote to mean that when reading a novel‚ the impulse to understand the climax or hidden meaning in the story is so great that one is practically willing do anything to find the clue that will relieve them of this desire. The noun form of wantonness means

A QUOTE THAT DEFINES ME! Jaelynn Carter 11/16/13 How This Quote Defines Me. A few words that define me are crazy‚ independent‚ loving‚ and caring but sometimes I have my insecurities.

can say one thing that may seem like exactly what it means‚ but at the same time‚ it can have a deeper meaning that must be interpreted carefully.

I chose the quote by Nelson Mandela because I think it is inspirational. I like this quote because it is saying that we need to stand up to the rich and give to the poor‚ this quote is showing how wrong the rich people in the world are.

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

“The village of Holcomb stands on the high wheat plains of western Kansas‚ a lonesome area that other Kansans call ‘out there.’ . . .The land is flat‚ the views are awesomely extensive; horses‚ herds of cattle‚ a white cluster of grain elevators rising as gracefully as Greek temples are visible long before a traveler reaches them.” pg. 3 The book begins and ends with descriptions of the landscape; the serenity of the plains is an unlikely setting for a tragedy‚ which makes it all the more disturbing

“Are you happy?” (pg 10) This quote is from the first conversation Clarisse and Montag have. This is what wakes Montag up because it makes him question his life for the first time ever. Clarisse is a symbol of consciousness. While everyone else lives to be happy and do not question anything or think about anything she thinks about and truly sees the world around her. “‘You weren’t there‚ you didn’t see‚’ he said. ‘There must be something in books‚ things we can’t imagine‚ to make a woman stay
