first thing to remember is that she doesn’t run from danger. A great quote that expresses this idea is “... but having jumped off a mile-high cliff while being chased by murderous beasts didn’t leave us much choice is the matter.” This shows you that Vega will take a risk in order to continue her adventure and keep her friend safe. Another quote that further proves this is “ I had just stood there as the inficio was coming to kill us.” That line from the story shows that sometimes Vega Jane can get

THE SEA by James Reeves The main idea of The Sea by James Reeves is that the sea is similar to a dog in so many ways. They both share similar characteristics and behaviour. In fact‚ one can look at this poem as one long metaphor‚ mainly focusing on the similarity between the sea and the dog. The very first line of the first stanza spells out the metaphor quite clearly: “The sea is a hungry dog”. Moreover‚ the rest of the poem reinforces this idea by frequently referring to a dog’s

I choose this quote because it shows how Gandalf is perceived from the hobbits. I think Bilbo’s opinion will change if he decides to go on this quest and I hope he has a better opinion of Gandalf and adventures. I think this quote shows that Gandalf has been out of the radar with the last line with Bilbo saying “I had no idea you were still in the business” which I interpret that Gandalf has been away. Maybe on a big quest? This quote came from Thorin while talking about the quest. Thorin is very

The most meaningful quote from “The Pearl” by John Steinbeck is “ Kino threw the pearl into the water”. This quote is the most meaningful quote because when he threw the pearl he felt that he wanted to leave all of the events that happened to him with the pearl. If this quote was not in the story‚ then the story would have ended up Kino still having the pearl and bad events would happen to him‚ for example‚ Kino makes bad decisions because he refuses to get rid of the pearl even though strangers
