Growing up I always used to hunt and fish with my dad and grandad learning new things along the way. The older I got the more independent I became, going to high school and excelling in all sports was big for me and made me who I am today. Being dependent, in the story "A good man" the grandmother chose to travel to Florida with her family even after her cautious awareness of the misft killer escaped from prison. Following through with these actions lead to her and her family's death. Going with a gut feeling is always the best way and speaking out for what you think is right.

The image that captures my life is "Home".  A home is not just a house, it is a place. Home is where I want to go because my belongings are there, my toys that I grew up with, my childhood memories, and so much more.  Home for me is a place where my family is. Home is where I feel safe and loved.  This comes from my amazing family, the sense of security I have at home, and the love that is always present, no matter how awful things appear. The poem that I am comparing my image to is "Snapping Beans" by Lisa Parker. Parker uses several lines of the poem to describe the scenery, painting a picture of a quiet house in the countryside at sunrise.  The imagery can be seen in the lines such as “as the sun rose, pushing its pink spikes / through the slant of cornstalks,”.

Nora is described at the opening of the play as a normal 19th century woman who is obedient to her husband, as seen by the terminology used by her husband, Torvald, to characterize her. Nora has been dubbed "squander bird," "skylark," and "squirrel" by Torvald (Ibsen 26). He appears to dehumanize Nora by continuously referring to her as a pet. Nora is viewed by Torvald as a worthless person who is utterly reliant on him. Nora's function as a wife, he argues, is to amuse and serve as a trophy, which mirrors the majority of nineteenth-century marriages. A typical wife in the nineteenth century functioned like an Angel in the House. Women were viewed as assets or objects by males at the period, and they were heavily ruled by men. People who worked, mainly men, earned money, therefore having power over others. Men used money to dominate their women, as Torvald's character expresses when he says, "it's astounding what an expensive pet she is fo...

     I n the fictional story  ‘The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas’, t he residents of the imaginary city of Omela.   The people in Omela appear to have happy and full lives.  According to the narrator, they are not simple folk, but they are happy.  Although the narrator admits to not knowing everything there is to know about Omelas' laws and rules, they believe there are only a few. Basically, the Author describes a place that is perfect, maybe to perfect.  After describing how wonderful everything is  the narrator mentions one final detail: "in a basement under one of the ‘beautiful public buildings’ of the city, or perhaps in a cellar somewhere in a private house, there is a child of nearly ten years old, though they look around six years old, so malnourished and stunted are they."  The child is confined to a single chamber, where they are forced to live in their own filth. The child is occasionally given just enough food to keep ...
