Due to the difference in Taylor’s children’s behaviors, her parenting skills would have been divergent as well. In Arizona, Taylor had to move at a much slower pace with Turtle because of the trepidation she was filled with from her previous home life. After months of being together, three-year-old Turtle finally utters her first word to Taylor “‘Bean,’ Turtle said. ‘Humbean’” (Kingsolver 97). This reveals how much more effort it took Taylor to reach out to her daughter. In Arizona she had a much more abrupt maturing into a woman and mother than if she had stayed in her hometown. Taylor had to grow up significantly faster than if she had gone through the process of pregnancy in Pittman. There, Taylor would be able to become more mentally and physically prepared for being a mother.

On her way to anywhere far from Kentucky, Taylor ends up with something she had been avoiding all her life: a child. Taylor stops to get coffee and leaves with a little Indian baby girl. A strange Indian woman appears from the middle of nowhere, "She opened up the blanket and took out something alive. It was a child. She wrapped her blanket around and around it until it became a round bundle with a head. Then she set this bundle down on the seat of my car. 'Take this baby,' she said" (17). Taylor is a strong and independent woman. But she did not know how to react in the occasion. Taylor uses dry, sarcastic, humor when she does not

With Taylor walking into the footsteps of motherhood she has examples to help her with like Esperanza and Lou Ann. As Taylor first takes Turtle an bath she realize on Turtle being “a girl, poor thing. That fact had already burdened her short

In The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald utilizes many universal and timeless themes to make the novel a classic. He emphasizes that most people lack insight and can not see the truth. To the majority of the society, the reality is an illusion that they create in their minds. The characters, events, setting, symbols and imagery contribute to establishing this theme.

Taylors mom dropped her off at the soccer field and she ran over to start warm ups. Taylor was out on the field doing warm ups when she saw her friend also known as her rival Maddison Wilson. She darted across the field to talk to Maddison.

"Uhh Zach, you live in L.A." Corbyn said as he read over the smaller boy's sweatshirt. "I bought it when I was living in Texas" Zach said sitting down causing his sweatshirt to slip a bit higher up his thigh.

When North America was first settled, the pioneers of our continent sought relief from their native lands. Where it would have been impossible for many of them to achieve prosperity and wealth, the new Western World enabled many of them to be successful on account of their dedication and work ethic alone. In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby,” the state of this American Dream is depicted as it was in the 1920s. However, much has changed since this era, and today’s society has much evolved. In both epochs, the American Dream functions as a symbol of hope that promotes the personal advancement of many. However, in the 1920s the Dream was on the decline, whereas in the 2010s it has evolved to become an increasing reality. In both cases, the Dream plays an important role in the everyday lives of Western citizens. In the 1920s, the concept was impossible for most to attain. However, the Dream has evolved into a goal that can be achieved by an increasing number of people. In both time periods, the income gap between the wealthiest and poorest citizens is clear and convincing. However, in the 2010s, this has a mitigated impact on the average citizen due to social programming. While in both eras there is a somewhat of a distinction between sections of the continent, the divide between the East and the West is more pronounced in the 1920s. Modern

“1…2…3…Go” and She was off. Carter loves running the wind in her hair and the rhythm of feet pounding the grass. A yell of “Hey C slow down” broke her thoughts. She slowed to a stop then turned around, about 50 yards back where her best friends Zöe Rodriguez and Joshua Carpenter. We grew up together, our parents where all friends from middle school up.

The clock was ticking. It seemed as though it was getting louder and louder as time had tiptoed on. Pages were turned and a silk ribbon of gold was braided into it, for me to feel as though it meant something. From time to time a bird would come and peck at the ink—stealing some of the thoughts away, but like a kite it never flew far, only a few ways and then down as though hit by a hunter’s bullets. The peculiar thing is as they fell down they would merge with colours of the sky and then poof . . . gone. Like a lunatic I sit as décor by this glass pane—writing and writing to an audience who’s unwilling to hear anything. It’s almost shaking how one can suddenly become drunk on nothingness—on nothing but the empty winds that sail.

"Ross is such a douche" Brendon sighed laying down on Spencer's bed. "He did a whole coast to coast right babe?" Spencer asked Jon. Jon nodded at Spencer in agreement.

“A piece of writing may start off life as history or philosophy and then come to be ranked as literature; or it may start off as literature and then come to be valued for its archaeological significance” (Eagleton 7). As British philosopher, Terry Eagleton, eloquently explains, literature and history are deeply intertwined. Literature is heavily influenced by the history it is surrounded by; this sphere of influence includes prominent leaders, religions, wars, revolutions, and much more. Many classics show the influence of well-known historical events of their time period such as: 1984 by George Orwell which was influenced by the spread of communism and totalitarian governments, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald influenced by the roaring 1920s, and Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird influenced by the racial inequalities prevalent in America. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein can be added to this list as well. Frankenstein was influenced by the search for knowledge, loss of innocence, and romantic heroes both in history and literature of the Romantic period of 1798 through 1832; these same topics that influenced Shelley and other Romantic writers, influence the contemporary society and literature.

In his novel, The Great Gatsby, Francis Scott Fitzgerald implies that life hurts and disappoints in order to make people stronger. Fitzgerald, as all great artists, writes of his experiences in order to give the story a relatable, human touch.

“Okay!” me and Taryn respond. we figured we were going to the mall again, because the car ride was long and I was getting all hot a sticky on the leather seats. While we were in the mall I heard a helicopter buzzing in the air. I saw it, and It looked as fast as lighting in the sky, so, I asked “can I have it please dad?” “okay.”my dad said.

Last night, Mr. Jay Gatsby had another one of his famous bashes over in west egg. The lights could be seen for miles around from his illustrious Gothic-style mansion. When we at the Times arrived at the mansion we were backed up in traffic for a few blocks back with cars of unfathomable prices in front of and behind us. We knew we had come to the right place. People were standing up in their cars with plentiful amounts of champagne being swung around, obviously they had already gotten their party on before heading to the main event. After a brief wait, we finally made it to the door, which opened to
