I saw the moist steam before I saw the water. I watched the water leave the kettle‚ flowing almost in slow motion in an arc to my feet. The pain of contact was so pure‚ so scalding‚ I felt nothing for a second. And then I screamed” (Adichie‚ 194). This was one of many intense moments for Kambili‚ the protagonist‚ and her father.

I’ve been taking different ways to get out of here‚ but I kept ending up back where I started. The walls were mocking me at my distressed‚ and they’re laughter echoed throughout the entire labyrinth. I groaned in irritation‚ gazing up at the sky. The bright moon was my only light source‚ my only aid to guide me through this darken maze. I’m aggravated that the King of the Goblins didn’t give me any tools to use for this maze‚ but he probably wouldn’t have anyway. I kicked the wall with my foot in

A friend can give you constant happiness and share your tears when you are down. They make

Percey Shelley uses the aesthetic feelings from inspecting this bird‚ and applies it to everyday life. He uses his understandings as a “wake up call” to humanity. “Yet‚ if we could scorn Hate and pride and fear‚ If we were things born Not to shed a tear‚ I know not how thy joy we ever should come near.” His questioning the bird and inspecting it allows him to come to a conclusion for humans to evolve their contact with nature and reality. Despite his acknowledgement that this creature is transmitting

Tiny wrinkles at the edge of her mouth spoke of tears and laughter. Pablo’s pencil bobbed and flicked across the page. He worked quickly‚ touching down in random corners of the portrait. He thickened a bit of shadow under the left eye‚ added another lock of hair‚ and sharpened the edge of the woman’s lip
