Emma Louise Journey

Alice Malsenior Walker, an African American born into poverty, came into this world on February 9, 1944 in Eatonon, Georgia. She was the youngest child of eight children born to Willie Lee and Minnie Tallulah Walkers. Both of her parents were sharecroppers as well as expert story tellers. Things were not easy for the Walkers and Alice often witnessed her mother’s frustration of having the burden to take care of eight children with little means. Even though children of share croppers were usually made to work the fields, Alice’s mother made sure that her kids received an education. Alice was brilliant at writing poetry.

One night, people were over at their house began to start talking about the Underground Railroad and if only there was a map to help people get out there. Clara got the idea to make this map with her quilting. After Clara, learns and masters sewing, she stitches a quilt with a map pattern which will help guide her and her young friend, Jack to freedom towards the north.

One of the worst hardships faced by not only women, but all homesteaders was winter. Winters were hard in the West and challenged farmers; crops were frozen and cattle herds were decimated. Homesteaders tried their best to prepare for the harsh winter but like Bess Cobb, many were afraid it would “be [there] before [they were] ready for it.” Even though there was preparation, there was still the fear that it wasn’t enough and that half of what the women planned to do did not get done. The cold that “crept in through the thin walls,”

Emma Woodhouse, who begins the novel "handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and a happy disposition" (Austen 1), suffers from a dangerous propensity to play matchmaker, diving into other’s lives, for what she believes is their own good. Despite this, she is a sympathetic character. Her matchmaking leads only to near-disasters and her expressions of remorse following these mistakes are sincere and resolute. Jane Austen's Emma concerns the social milieu of a sympathetic, but flawed young woman whose self-delusion regarding her flaws is gradually erased through a series of comic and ironic events.

The Underground Railroad is a popular topic in United States history, but many of the stories told about it are more myth than fact. Quilts have been often used as a symbol in children 's picture books to further the understanding of one of the darkest periods of United States history: slavery. Parents and teachers have eagerly embraced these illustrated books as a way to understand and teach past turmoil. Many of these books suggest that people who participated in the Underground Railroad used quilts as a means of communication to help slaves safely escape to freedom. The idea of quilts as communication tools has been well-received, and many educators have created wonderful programs, guides, and lesson plans to extend the experience with these books and to further explore United States history; however, what is depicted in these books have been consistently contested by quilt historians and folklorists This essay discusses the myth that secret codes were stitched into quilts to help slaves escape to freedom and why this myth continues today.

I first began to write about Emma Akin and The Negro American Series textbooks in late 2013, beginning by way of a dramatic format; the screenplay. After a year and numerous months of work on this project, a curator from the National Museum of African-American History and Culture suggested I write a children’s book, at which time I began work on doing illustrations for a coloring book. Ultimately, I chose to tell the story in a book written on a 7th-9th grade reading level, in hopes that the story would be simple enough for young scholars to comprehend, yet contain enough substance to interest adults and leave them wanting to hear more of the story.

Emma first discovered her magnetism and love of the podium with her first public speech in the winter of 1890. During this time America was focused on expansion. They wanted access to sugar, coffee, fruits, oils, rubber and other materials available in Latin America and the Asian lands (Nash, 452). Along with the want to grow in this market, American factors were making products and at a staggering rate and in turn needed factory laborer’s to make such products. With the growth of expansion came the “progressive movement.” This movement focused on many things. One of them being the working conditions and the rights of labor’s in the middle and lower class. (Nash, 471). It wasn’t uncommon for men, woman and children to work 10 hour days or

It was like two hands intertwining together when the moon’s light peeked through the gargantuan sycamore trees. We are on the treacherous run to freedom, and I am eager to get there. Because of my bistered skin, I was shackled and cuffed, and forced to work in a field my whole life without my family. If all goes well tonight, I will be a free man who makes his own decisions instead of having everything forced upon me by an austere master. It seems like we had been running for days and my feet had never felt pain this agonizing until now. We slid through the woods like a snake slithering towards its prey until we began to hear voices. They echoed through the trees and would not stop. Ducking behind opaque bushes, we waited for the signal

It was a cool September morning in the 19th century, the brisk, dry breeze of Kentucky's Autumn winds struck my face. It woke me from my slumber within the dark, forlorning cave. The dim glow of dawn's sunrise was refreshing, it gave me a sense of hope that... maybe I could survive running away from my master and live in freedom. Maybe I truly could make it to Canada, it may be getting cold, but temperature could only douse my hope for so long. Standing and brushing the leaves off from my dress, I gathered myself and headed out onto the Underground Railroad; my path to liberty. The leaves crunched and tattered beneath my feet, and the comfort of the cave walls were left behind me. I couldn't hide forever, I had to face the harsh reality that there was going home now.

From fairy tales to Shakespeare stories have become an intricate part of our world. A story is something all of us have some are short some are long, and they always define who we are as people. My story is much longer than most it is one of sorrow, happiness, loneliness, friendship, love, regret, pain, and sorcery. You shall see a part of my story through my eyes alone, and I hope that in the end you will properly understand my life. Most stories begin with the birth of the main character, and mine is no different. My mother Emma Griffith was the princess of a kingdom whose name history has long since forgotten. My mother was the free spirit of her family never one for rules and never allowing anyone to control her life. My grandfather Nathaniel

“My dream is to travel the world,” says Anna when asked her about her hopes and dreams. She’s a learner at heart, but also a busybody. She likes to move, learn, and understand different culture. While seeming like a slightly childish dream, ANna has been all over, from Georgia, to Mississippi, all the way to London, England. She does not just like traveling in the literal sense, but also through books. Anna’s aspiration to travel fuels her dislike of being back in beautiful, but familiar Lookout Mountain,

On the way home to Maycomb, Jean Louise boards a train and comments that “she was glad she had decided to go by train. Trains had changed since her childhood, and the novelty of the experience amused her” (4). In this case, not only are trains a symbol of changing times, they are also metaphorically symbolic of the set paths that people will take through their life. In addition, trains only run on already laid railroads, further implying that people have the tendency to follow and maintain their beliefs and ideologies during their lives.

Emma Bovary allows herself to be destroyed by the people she encounters and her obsession with falling in love. Emma is not happy with herself and her relationship so she looks for other people to fill the void. Emma never really realizes that she is the root of all of the troubles in her life. If she were more in touch with reality, she would realize that she needs to work on herself before blaming her love interests for not being like the men that she has read about in the past. Emma has a very unrealistic perception of love. Emma is unable to fall in love with anyone because she will always be dissatisfied. She destroyed her own marriage before it even started because of her preconceived idea of love. Charles is absolutely in love with Emma and would do anything for her but she does not feel the same way about him due to her fairytale idea of love. It seems as if she is not capable of separating her real life romances from the romance novels that she read when during her time at the convent.
