“I don’t like supposing that somebody like Jesus was alive now and pretending and imagining what

Whatever Theodora did or told Eleanor to do, she obeyed and at all times puts effort into pleasing her. For example, when all four of them are in the parlor, “Eleanor thought, She moves like an animal, nervous and alert; se can’t sit still while there is any scent of disturbance in the air; we are all uneasy … Theodora came, moving with grace, circling to a resting spot … how lovely she is, Eleanor thought, how thoughtlessly, luckily lovely” (Jackson 125). Eleanor looks up to Theodora and admires her as a motherly figure in her life; however, these feelings of admiration and lovingness fail to endure the entirety of the novel. Eleanor begins to feel hatred towards Theodora and starts to have thoughts, such as “she is wicked, Eleanor thought, beastly and soiled and dirty… I would like to hit her with a stick, Eleanor thought, looking down on Theodora’s head beside her chair; I would like to batter her with rocks” (Jackson 158). Eleanor begins to have these feelings of hatred towards Theodora because Theodora can be portrayed as a better version of

Eleanor Douglas is a sixteen-year old girl. She struggles with her body image because people constantly make fun of her size. Eleanor also has a terrible life at home. She lives with her siblings, mother, and an abusive step-father in poverty. He abuses her family both physically and mentally by neglecting their family by not providing things such as toothpaste. Despite everything, Eleanor still thinks of her loved ones first and also has a sense of humor.

“Thomas took the ashes and smiled, closed his eyes, and told this story: ‘I’m going to travel to Spokane Falls one last time and toss these ashes into the water. And your father will rise like a salmon, leap over the bridge, over me, and find his way home. It will be beautiful. His teeth will shine like silver, like a rainbow. He will rise, Victor, he will rise.

In fact, her mother favored her brothers, so Eleanor knew what it was like to not have any attention. “Later, with the arrival of boys, Elliot and Hall, Eleanor watched her mother hold the boys on her lap and lovingly stroke their hair, while for Eleanor there seemed only coolness, distance.” She was ignored, while her

From the beginning of the poem, I get the impression that the preacher feels sorry for God. The opening line, "It must be lonely to be God" (1), can be taken as being said with sympathy. The third stanza reinforces this first impression. The preacher, through his thoughts in the third stanza, laments that God has no companionship; no one is there "to slap Him on the shoulder, tweak His ear…pooh-pooh His politics, call Him a fool [?]" (9-12). The fact that the Brooks takes an entire stanza to focus on God's solitude suggests that the preacher considers companionship to be an important part of one's life.

Eleanor was the new girl in her school. She took the bus to her school and already marked as the weird

Towards the end of the book the Reverend states, “We are a town of sorrow and tragedy—and it happened too quickly” (Fast 198). This quote explains how he feels about the conflict after it is over. The way he describes the town shows that he feels sorrow for all the losses. The Reverend, although sad, still carries on his duties and remains a caring man.

The U.S. was facing hardships and so was Eleanor Roosevelt. In September Franklin came down with double pneumonia (Mann, 2016). Because of Franklin, Eleanor began taking on some of his responsibilities (Mann, 2016). While taking care of his mail she came across love letter from Lucy

However, Eleanor could not alter her absolute reality of loneliness. The commonality of the absolute reality between Eleanor and the Hill House is what strengthened their connection, which became crucial in the story. In Chapter Nine, Eleanor heard her mother's’ voice while being haunted by the Hill House: “What fools they are, she thought; now I will have to go into the library. ‘Mother, Mother,’ she whispered, ‘Mother’, and she stopped at the library door, sick… I can feel the whole house and heard even Mrs. Montague protesting, and Arthur, and then the doctor, clearly, ‘We’ve got to look for her; everyone please hurry.’” (Jackson, 169-170). In this point of the story, the connection between the House and Eleanor is stronger than ever, and Eleanor’s isolation from the rest of the group intensifies the connection. Eleanor sees what the House sees, and the House is in control of Eleanor’s thoughts and actions. The House intended for Eleanor to be separated from the group in order to surround her with the absolute reality of loneliness. As the Gothic heroine, Eleanor needs to be saved from her fate in order to live by the Gothic Hero. The character of Luke Sanderson does not suit the traditional Gothic hero, but does try and save Eleanor from her mortal fate when she climbed the iron stairway in Chapter Nine. Luke manages to save Eleanor from the danger

Cousin says: ‘No, by our Lady! I have the cramp in my toe’. (Frohnman 19). In the moment of death, a person may bank on relatives for consolation, but Kindred’s and Cousin’s reaction is a testament that not even relatives can save anyone from the stark reality of death. Good’s reaction to Everyman’s summon by death further lend credence to the premise that death is perceived as a tragedy and is feared. Everyman informs Good’s of his imminent journey to heaven and requests him to accompany him on the journey to heaven. Everyman thinks he can bribe God. He says: “For it is said ever among,

The tone of the speaker was very sad, cold and lonely for misses his father. Evidence that support that he misses his father can be found in the poem. The second and the third stanza reflects how he feels about the weather and I think he meant the fall season in which he uses a cold tone “the garden is bare now. The ground is cold, brown and old”, he clearly just mentioning the negative sounding around fall. A lonely tone also found in the last few stanzas, when he mentioned that his food is almost cooked “White rice steaming, almost done. Sweet green peas fried in onions. Shrimp braised in sesame oil and garlic. And my own loneliness. What more could I, a young man, want.”. The part where he said, “And my own

     “Octopus’s Garden” is another standout track on the album. The song has developed into one of the best-known Beatles’ songs ever. This song was without a doubt, Ringo’s best song writing effort ever. Anyone who can write a song about being in the garden of an eight-legged sea creature should win an award. George’s flawless solo provided excellent cover over the background voices of gurgling water. This is also in the form of a love song. “We would sing and dance around because we know we can't be found” is quoted from the song, which details that he would like to be alone with this person. To finish the song off, Ringo’s quote “We would be so happy you and me, No one there to tell us what to do, I'd like to be under the sea In an octopus' garden with you” makes it clear that he is sending a message out to someone who he would like to be with undisturbed.

However, she voluntarily gives up some of her freedom upon returning to America with her husband in the end, which coincides with Chopin’s theme that marriage requires cooperation. Charles often describes Eleanor using figurative language, including a clear allusion contrasting Eleanor to the subject of William Wordsworth’s “She Was a Phantom of Delight” and a metaphor comparing her to a unique bird, both which further illustrate her as a character who transcends the typical expectation for a woman. Charles first describes Eleanor as “‘not too good for human nature’s daily food,’ yet so good that he had cherished no hope of beholding such a one in the flesh” (Chopin 671). The traditional lines of the poem read “not too bright but good for human nature’s daily food,” which suggest that a wife is only good for making a man’s life better by managing the household and offering him the devotion that he needs. On the other hand, Charles clearly sees that Eleanor will never be just a doting housewife; rather, her role is much more significant because she is intelligent and self-motivated. Eleanor is a revolutionary character, because she possesses traits not commonly associated with women during this time, including a sense of self-assurance, a desire for knowledge, and an adventurous spirit: “She was that rara avis, a logical woman-something which Faraday had not encountered in his life before” (Chopin 671). The term “rara avis,” or unique bird, also symbolizes her desire to take flight and live beyond what is expected of

In this poem, the narrator opens up with a serene scene of a winter night – or so it seems. Although the narrator describes an externally cozy, peaceful scene, he unveils a discordant heart, as suggested by the restless tone he uses. During this silent night, the narrator watches a piece of soot flicker over the fire: “Only that film, which fluttered on the grate, / Still flutters there, the sole unquiet thing. Methinks, its motion in this hush of nature / Gives it dim sympathies with me who lives, / Making it a companionable form” (15-19). In other words, the narrator associates himself with
