Today is the day. Today is finally the day that I am to be released from the psychiatric hospital since that day when I passed out. I know last time you heard from me, I was broken and unhappy and had hate for the world, but i'm in the best state i could ever be, I really am I tell you. Oh how excited I am to see old Phoebe. I haven’t seen her since i’ve been admitted into this wing of the hospital. Oh I wonder how much she has grown< She was so intelligent and pure, nothing could ever compromise her. So I hope nothing hasn’t. I was retrieving most of my belongings before I left, when I happened to run into old Ms. Patty.

Both of these characters, among other characters in the book struggled for the majority of their lives with the issues of race. They felt as if they were caught between two different worlds; the world of blacks and the world of whites. These struggles left all of the characters feeling forlorn. In McBride’s memoir it is made clear that in order to find happiness, the characters must first be able to confront and then overcome the racial divisions that were so prominent in their lives.

Morrison uses the environment to demonstrate how Denver is able to feel comfort for her trauma.

While the closet is a part of environment’s natural creation, it is described as being a house, very similar to that of 124 Bluestone. The descriptions of the “round empty room” and “seven feet high walls” demonstrates how the closet

To lead up to this believing of blondes being the ‘beauty’ standard she admires her blonde friend Lisa, a barbie doll and lies about her parents ethnicity.

Poetic techniques displayed through the ideas, poetic features and style of the poet, reveal concepts which transcend time and place. In Gwen Harwood’s poem “the violets” her ability to interweave past and present emphasises the importance of memory in preserving ones journey though the universal experiences of growth, maturity and mortality. Similarly the poem “Mother who gave me life” demonstrates the memory of motherhood as a timeless quintessential part of the human condition. And lastly In Harwood’s “father and Child”, the connection between the father and son/daughter highlights that transformation throughout childhood is inevitable. Through the content and the language, the ways in which human experiences reveal concepts which

It can be concluded from the information given that the man that has come to visit the patients Jill George and Ashley Cole has some form of a relationship with both of the patients. The man also has brought two bouquets of flowers, so it can be inferred he cares enough about each of the patients to bring them a gift. It seems coincidental that the both the patients have a significant other with the same name and this might bring about the suspicion that the gentleman bringing in the flowers could be a two-timing spouse.

When Campbell was twelve, her mother passed away. As a young girl, she was forced to give up school and take on the role of the mother to her younger siblings. At fifteen years old, Campbell felt obligated to marry in order to prevent her younger brothers and sisters from being taken away from her and her father. Unfortunately, her diligent work and good intentions did not keep her family together.
