The house at the end of the street, so tall and mysterious. Roofs warping inwards, shingles falling like snow in the winter, windows peeling like an old sticker, and a yard that can sustain a whole ecosystem. Three years ago to this day women as white as the snow dressed in a plaid pink pantsuit moved in. All she had was her trunk the size of a tractor. She carried her trunk with ease opening it a little more every step until it sprung open. Hundreds of baby dolls come out, she looks at each of them and proceeds to walk to her new house I thought the madness stopped but the baby dolls stood up to walk alongside her. Before long I never saw her again. Months have passed, and she hasn 't left her house once. Occasionally you will the …show more content…
Until the only sound filling the room is a heartbeat banging its way into my soul like a hammer hammering a nail. A flash of light blinds me. “Hello, Margaret’’ a demon like voice whispered. “Who are you and how do you know my name? worry, terror, and anxiety filled my lungs. “You don 't know who I am.” a chuckle escapes. Well, you best need to find out.” A sharp pain shoots me in the stomach and knocks the wind right out of me. A flashback occurs. November 13, 1987. Two girls playing with their baby dolls sit there in the middle of the playground. “Hey do you want to play something else ?” a high-pitched five-year-old girl says to the other. “Sure.” replied the other girl. They both stand up and run to the slide, leaving the dolls behind. Thirty minutes pass and the girls go home, leaving the dolls behind. The next day one of the girls comes back for her doll leaving the other one behind. Both of the girls moved and never saw that playground or the doll again. A light shines on the demonic figure, and all that was seen is the doll left on that chilly November afternoon. The decayed piece of plastic that once was loved laying on the ground lifeless. “Bitty?” I say on the verge of crying from fright. The demon steps out of the shadows. “well, not quite.” a swift wind brush on my face and some force choke me. “Much like you, I’ve grown.” it says reassuringly “but I 'm just a little bit stronger” the demonic voice screams as the force choking me gets
In A Doll’s House, by Henrik Ibsen, is a play about the personal revolution of a Norwegian housewife. Nora appears to be happy with mindlessly obeying her husband, until it is discovered that she has a secret debt that she has hidden from him. Krogstad, Nora’s loaner, threatens to reveal the debt to her husband. When it is inadvertently revealed, Nora realizes the lack of depth of her husband’s feelings for her and leaves their established household and family to find her own personal identity. The theme of A Doll’s House is that societal norms restrict personal freedom.
As my 4 year old self laid upon the Kazak carpet that coated my entire living room, I seamlessly attempted to assemble my Matryoshka doll back into its original state. While my fingers lightly stroked the wooden components of the doll, I realized how captivating the complexity of it was. While I was a child, I invariably portrayed the doll as merely a “toy” with an interesting concept behind it; however, as I emerged into my adolescent years, I understood that the Matryoshka symbolized my process of growth and adaptation as an American immigrant.
A little girl, named Sophia walker, was given a large doll by her parents. It was a gift from her great grandmother who had sadly passed on. Sophia was instantly unsettled by the doll, it had big black eyes that seemed to follow you around the room. Sophia, had the impression that she was expected to take the doll, because she was well raised and didn't want her parents to be upset by not taking it. The doll's name was Suzie, which made Sophia even more scared of it. Sophia thought to herself, “It was just a doll. There was nothing to worry about.” So she put her mind at ease.
The Supreme Court established that "separate but equal" is unconstitutional which reflects the living view of the Constitution. Furthermore, after the Supreme Court ruled the "separate but equal" is unconstitutional the Supreme Court overruled the Plessy v Ferguson case considering it was fallaciously decided, contravene the 14th Amendment, as well as the equal protection clause and the law "separate but equal" at the time contradicted its meaning. Not all faculties, transportations, educations, and restaurants were equal to the whites. In addition, I'm not surprised by the outcome of the Modern Day Doll results for the simple reason that, children inherited a negative image of a black people, resulting in our history, social conditions, media,
In life, human beings are required to learn and retain a lot of various information. Many people attend school at four or five-years-old, and this is when the learning begins. English, History, Math, and Science. These are the four core subjects in most educational systems. Each subject comes with information that people must retain and use throughout their lives. However, sometimes these subjects can be a bit dull, especially for children. The original American Girl Dolls assist with making history fun and exciting, thanks to Pleasant Rowland.
After deep thought and an hour of wasted time consisting of snapchatting and laying in various parts of my room, Lily suggests that we go down to The Dollar Tree and get some funny, random toys to quench our desire to do something, anything! I lived on the corner of Lindsay and Brown and the dollar store was located on Lindsay and University, so the mile distance was a short, doable journey. On our way back, our new-bought silly string in hand, Lily and I ran ahead of the three others that accompanied us, and we headed back to my house. When we arrived home, we hid behind the pillars and patiently waited for the others’ return. As we could hear their voices morph from a slight mumble into a real conversation, we jumped out and surprise attacked the girls with a silly string invasion. What Lily and I thought to be a harmless, funny act, really upset the three of them, especially Rachel. They would not come inside my house and insisted we go away from them. As me and Lily now sit in my room laughing and trying to forget about the drama that was on the rise, I began to hear scurrying noises downstairs accompanied by “oh my gosh” and “she’s gonna be so mad”. I walked out of my room to find Rachel covering my house with the purple slime she bought at The Dollar Tree. Everywhere I looked, it was there: rubbed into the hallway carpet, spread down the walls, down the laundry shoot, on the towels, and in the refrigerator, as if it were rapidly multiplying throughout my house. It was something out of a cartoon and I couldn’t believe this was actually happening. I know we were young and immature, but this took it to a new level, and I couldn’t contain my anger. Tears automatically came running down my face as I knew I’d be dead when my parents came home. “Get out of
Commonly, we see female characters in literature completely at the discipline of their male counterparts. However, some females challenge the notion that subservience to the patriarchy is absolutely ‘necessary’. A Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen and Thomas Hardy’s Far from the Madding Crowd both create interesting female characters in Nora Helmer and Bathsheba Everdene respectively. Whether these women are truly either independent or dependent, is ambiguous in their pieces of literature.
I am currently reading the book Creepypasta, which is a story about several different horror stories inside such as Smile, Hide and Seek, and Come Closer. “The girl smiled with all the happiness an 8-year-old could possibly process, and stared straight at the camera lens. Click.” (Clovdtears 1). This is one of the first couple of sentences in the story smile, and right away I felt an eerie chill go through me.
“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.
Henrik Ibsen's, A Doll's House is definitely a unique story written by a very intelligent, complicated writer. I believe he intentionally wrote the play in a manner which would lead every reader to draw his own conclusions. He forces us to find our own interpretation of the play in context with our personal lives and experiences with the opposite sex. The theme may be interpreted by many as a study of the moral laws that men and women are required to follow by nature. I believe it is primarily based on the gender stereotypes that determine the role of women in society.
I have the mom, dad, grandmother (gray hair), boy, 2 girls of slightly different sizes and a baby.
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 house and raise the children like a stereotypical woman that cannot work or help society. In reality, she is not an average housewife in that she has a hired maid who deals with the house and children. Although Ibsen focuses on these “housewife” attributes, Nora’s character is ambitious, naive, and somewhat cunning. She hides a dark secret from her husband that not only includes borrowing money, but also forgery. Nora’s choices were irrational; she handled the
The enforcement of specific gender roles by societal standards in 19th century married life proved to be suffocating. Women were objects to perform those duties for which their gender was thought to have been created: to remain complacent, readily accept any chore and complete it “gracefully” (Ibsen 213). Contrarily, men were the absolute monarchs over their respective homes and all that dwelled within. In Henrik Ibsen’s play, A Doll’s House, Nora is subjected to moral degradation through her familial role, the consistent patronization of her husband and her own assumed subordinance. Ibsen belittles the role of the housewife through means of stage direction, diminutive pet names and through Nora’s interaction with her morally ultimate
It was a late October night when it all happened. Scared as ever I started walking up to the line. I was at the back of the line with three of my other friends, Jackie, Alli, and Marissa. They were as scared as I was because of the environment around us. I was shaking like my mommas zumba weight. We were standing in line with Jackie in front, Alli was after, then Marissa, and I was last. All we could hear was the music and chainsaws inside as we were in line. When we heard the chainsaws we wanted to leave but we had already paid at this point. Right before we were about to go in the haunted house a small doll with the name Chucky came up to us and said “Do you wanna play?” his voice was soft and his face was filled with cuts. He looked as
A Doll’s House was published in Norway in 1879 by Henrik Isben. He is known as the father of Modern Theatre. He is also referred as the father of realism. The play is very interesting because of the funny dialogue, the unique characters, and Ibsen 's view of the place of ladies in the public eye. The main characters of the play is Nora Helmer and her husband Torvald Helmer. Imagine what it would be like to live in a doll 's home? It 's a house in which you are controlled and have no energy to settle on any solid choice; It 's a house in which you are a play thing for another person 's amusement. This sounds a ton like an awful marriage, so it 's a house in which your husband holds the satchel strings, in a manner of speaking, and abandons you with no influence over your family 's accounts. In fact, your husband keeps you on a tightrope. Such is the perceived life of Nora Helmer.
