Ester : The Scarlet Letter

Anne: I’m trying. Really, I am. (She lies back more relaxed.)Every night before I go to sleep, I think back over all the things I did that day that were wrong - like putting the wet mop in Mr. Dussel’s bed - and this thing now with mother. I day to myself, that was wrong. I make up my mind, I’m never going to do that again. Never! Of course I may do something worse - but at least I’ll never do that again. (The medicine begins to work. She becomes relaxed and drowsy.) I have a nicer side, Father - a sweeter, nicer side. But I’m scared to show it.

Saturday afternoon , Sam and Colleen arrive at the hospital to visit Erika. Henry leaves to run some errands and give them alone time together . Erika's skin looks pale from her accident , her eyes and mouth wide open , she takes a deep breath every two minutes. Her mom Mrs. White sits in the chair next to her holding on to her hand as she cries. “ Is she gonna be OK?” “ I don't know , the doctors say she's in a state of shock , something scared her to where she is like this .” Sam goes up to Erika holding her hand . “ Erika its me Sam , we miss you , I miss you.” He gives her a kiss on the cheek and whispers in her ear. “ I'll get Scratch for this , even if it takes my last breath.”

Oh, Jules. I know it’s you; I can feel your hand on mine. You’re nervous—you’re only ever quiet when you’re nervous. More than anything, I want to sit up and reach out to you. I want to see you, the face that has my nose and the eyes that match mine, a green like summer trees. I wish I could. But, my shoulders feel weighted and my heart so weak. It took me a while to admit the latter, to ask for help to get it fixed. Now, they don’t know if they can do anything. The nurses tell our family that I’m listening but forget I can hear when they gossip outside my door. Please say something, Jules, Princess.

It took them both a long time to understand that the boy was sick, though she would point out that she had been the first to notice that he was unhappy, and had sought to remedy his discontent with sweeter treats and more delightful distractions. She thought it was evidence that she loved him more—that she had noticed first that something was wrong—and she said as much to her husband, when they were still trying to outdo each other in love for the child.

Montague held Olivia by the arms. But even her own Healer’s hands couldn’t comfort her. The truth shook her bones. The Queen remembered Demitri always telling her that people were evolving, and science was evolving. In his speech, he even referred to children’s blood.

Larah grinned and touched the old woman’s hand, “Thank you, sister, you’ve helped me more than you know.” She stood and walked towards the doorway. Before passing through it, she glanced back at her teacher, mentor, and friend. Melinda sat silent, gaze fixed on the open window. She seemed so tired and worn. “Are you going to be okay? Should I get someone?”

For instance, on June 20, 1942, Anne wrote, “On the surface, I seem to have everything, except my one true friend.” Anne explains that everyone thinks that she has everything she desires, but in reality, she feels like she doesn’t have someone she can tell everything to without feeling judged. Anne’s true thoughts and emotions in this entry are that she feels alone and wants to be able to do more with her life. Another one of Anne’s entries that best presents her true thoughts and feelings was written on November 19, 1942, after another person joins the two other families (Franks and the Van Daan's) in hiding. Anne wrote, “I’m not exactly delighted at having a stranger use my things, but you have to make sacrifices for a good cause, and I’m glad I can make this small one.” In this entry, Anne explains that even though she's not fully enjoying the company of having a new Annex member (Mr.Dussel) stay with her, she's grateful for being able to hide in the Annex with her family. The fact that Anne is cooperating with having to stay with Mr. Dussel shows how mature Anne is becoming, and how her thoughts and emotions are changing on the inside. Without Anne's diary entries no one would've known how Anne truly felt about having to live with Mr.Dussel or how lonely she felt while living in the Annex. Therefore, the diary entries are the best representation of Anne's real thoughts and emotions.

The doctor raised the bed with the push of a button, “You’re going to have to say here a few days.”

“Stay patient?” Adeline asked in a barely controlled voice, “How are we to stay patient? I have a job! Jacob needs the nurse’s aide at least, the PT and OT we could manage without for a little while.” Jacob used his arms to shift in his wheelchair and stress lined his features as he

Her upset came when she knew, he didn’t realize the negative effects it’s had upon Ellie-Jo. Nor, could he comprehend that just earlier, he made Afifa Spencer, another casualty of his war.

Every part of him screamed, ‘Go find Claire.’ He was restless, his entire body was pushed into motion. It wanted to do something, anything. Anything to take his mind off it, anything to relieve the stress.

Slowly Marilla’s begins to temper her streness with sympathy and compassion for Anne.Marilla as they walk home after Anne’s apology to Mrs Rachel Annie slips her hand into Marillas, At the touch of Anne’s hand in hers Marilla feels a rush of motherly warmth, that is both pleasurable and disarming to her. When Marilla agrees to let her go on a school pinic, Anne flies into her arms and kisses her cheek making Marilla flush with warmth.

“I’m feeling better already,” she said, as Arthur took a seat beside her and handed over her first dose of medication, along with a paper cup filled with water. “I didn’t realize how horrible I felt until I was sitting in Dr. Monmouth’s office. Thank you so much for bringing me and blowing up your whole day.”

Clara hesitated in sitting and was about to stand when she felt his hand on her arm. Taking his hand, she offered support because it wasn't everyday the Doctor told her about himself.

Throughout the whole play based on Anne´s real diary I saw a lot of acts of kindness.What caught my eye the most is when Peter went into Anne`s room and started talking to her when she got mad and blew up on everybody.The following dialogue takes place on Page 103:
