Department Store Window Mannequins: A Fictional Narrative

A Doll’s House, by Henrik Ibsen, portrays a young married woman, Nora, who plays a dramatic role of deception and self-indulgence. The author creates a good understanding of a woman’s role by assuming Nora is an average housewife who does not work; her only job is to maintain the

The door slammed several times as the church ladies helped by quickly carrying in the stack of dishes and the leftover food. Inside they peeked in to look at Ma for a last goodbye. The Miz Dovie made the mistake of asking if there was anything Alma needed before she left. Since she was sleeping peacefully, Alma let the preacher’s wife settle in the bedside chair to watch Ma, and raced to get as much done as possible in the few stolen minutes. She set plates and silverware in the sink in boiling water and soap and did the best to put away food.

LOGOS: Logos is a ministry here on campus that meets on Sunday mornings from 9:45-11:00 am in Polling. Logos is a non denomination church that started at Spring Arbor between six and eight years ago. With the church being located in the lobby in Polling, the “sanctuary” was set up more

Depicted in the photo is a scene in the middle of a social gathering. Every inch of the still life themed piece is covered in cheese-doodles (the walls, floors, people, chairs, table, lamp, glasses). The subject matter is the models and mannequins within the photo. There are several mannequins in a room, positioned to appear as if they are interacting with another, each having its own reaction. They are mostly placed standing, one in a chair, but all suggesting they are engaged in a conversation. Spread out amongst the mannequins are a few models with their dinner attire festooned with cheese doodles.

The Pastor came to the congregation and began to worship the Lord as he was led, and presented words of praise. Afterward, he asked the members to turn with him to the scripture reading for the morning. Pastor Horne proceeded with the reading of scripture in the King James Version. Granted, the Pastor did not use sermon notes. However, after he finished delivering his message, he came down from the pulpit and opened the doors of the church for those who had not accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and personal savior (Horne, 1983). An offering was taken up, then the minutes was read, and lastly the benediction.

Soon after I had arrived at St. Timothy’s, Reverend Fran introduced me to the incumbent choir leader, Barb Knotts, and her husband Frank who was a Parish Councilor. I was hoping Barb would help me usher the choir through the upcoming reforms; however, both she and Frank were about to go on a two month vacation at their lakeside cottage. Until she returned home I had to work alone.

After the worship music, a short video was shown. As the video ended, Pastor Reynolds stood up from the congregation where he worshiped with us. He was dressed casually, in jeans and a button up shirt. He prepared the congregation by explaining that the message he would deliver was not only one that people do not like to hear, but it is a worthy and necessary part of the church. During this time of year the United Methodist churches focus on tithing.

"So what, your life's just one day of shit-reeking demons after the next? That sucks, dude. No wonder you've got something stuck way up your-" Wynonna's eyes intimated she silently chided herself, even though he looked almost amused. Almost. A hint of a smile that could've actually just been a trick of shadows. Feeling him trying to size her up, Wynonna almost felt a little frenzy of insecurity. Everyone in town's mind was pretty much made up about her, no one had freshly judged her in a long time, and she wasn't sure she missed the feeling. She'd been trying her best with the curse, with Revenants, even to be a better sister, and it was uncomfortable to have someone stride in the middle of all that trying and try to put those jagged pieces

“Deputy Marshall Dolls is no longer wanted for treason; the Black Badge Division cleared his investigation and he’s not your prisoner anymore.” Without a tremble in her voice, Wynonna spoke, chin high. There was a joke about her using the Force in there, but she let it slide; somehow the beige of Mercado’s pantsuit just screamed she rooted for the Empire.

Carmen is in the stage of contemplation on attending church again. She remains undecided, so action is not expected now. Carmen attended church weekly before her arrest. Carmen is insecure with her place in the church and feels unsure how members would react. Her Grandmother is urging Carmen to join the youth group to ease her back into the church community. Carmen’s therapist is going to help Carmen work on her anxiety about church.

I had always gone to church and gone through the motions, but i never had felt connected to god or like church was an exciting environment for me. Despite my slight protest, I knew my peers had my best interest at heart so I trailed behind them as we divulged into the church (White’s Chapel).

“That sounds like Susan,” William said. William and Mary walked crisply into the barn. The farmhands had formed a circle around an altercation on the dance floor. William and Mary pushed their way through the crowd. In the center of the circle, they saw two farmhands restraining Eric by holding onto both of his arms. Susan was screaming at the men to let him go. Reverend Flowers was doubled-over at the edge of the circle, holding his hand against his mouth. He pulled his hand back and looked at the blood on his fingers that flowed from a fat lip he had sustained.

As the priest continued through his script, my mind raced with plaguing This was supposed to be something sacred and spectacular, yet I made myself the star of the show. I was incredibly focused on my blocking and articulation. Slowly, I moved over to my designated location and stood firmly awaiting the first person that was to receive Jesus from me. As the priest reached his spot, I turned in a robot-like manner towards the pews in front of me and gave myself multiple last minute pep talks. I had to finally realize that I wasn’t the protagonist, and this was not a stage; I was merely a servant on an altar where all glory is given to

Dish after dish after dish came through the church to the kitchen the aroma made your mouth water. After Sunday school the children performed another skit for review of the lesson everyone clapped for their excellent performance again. Like a peacock I was proud of them since they had very little time to practice and most of it was improvisation on their part. As morning worship service started the Lord began to deal with me about Mr. Gardner the spirit was high in the service that Sunday. Little Jenny sang a song the spirit of the Lord was all over her until she literally sang into tears and a dance broke out all over the

Analysis of Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll House In “A Doll House” by Henrik Ibsen was created during 1800s time period. This play helps shine a light on the gender roles of the 1800s while also creating a twist that was uncommon for this period. During this time period, women were left home to oversee the domestic duties, while men went to commuted to work (Hughes). Men were seen as physically superior but morally inferior to women; which is also portrayed within this book (Hughes). This play marks the beginning of Henrik Ibsen’s realist period, which he explored the ordinary lives of small-town people (Kirszner and Mandell 881). This “modern tragedy” helped make Ibsen famous internationally because of the real-life story it captured (Kirszner and Mandell 882). Henrik Ibsen uses an array of literary devices to help keep the reader captivated from beginning to end. Three of the most prominent literary devices used by Henrik Ibsen are symbolism, foreshadowing, and an array of themes. These literary devices help transform a basic play into a complex story of lies and deception.
