“Long Beautiful Hair,” wrote by Ann Hood, is a piece most would assume just to be a narrative of how the author goes through different hair phases in her lifetime. However, that is only the superficial meaning; Hood’s piece is metaphorically set up for a greater purpose. If analyzed correctly, her piece is a complex explanation of a life lesson that people often struggle with: figuring out who they are created to be. In order for her to convey the message fully to the audience, she tells her story in a time progressing sequence while also using rhetorical strategies such as pathos and a metaphor.

One of the first examples Gilman uses is situational irony portrayed through John’s treatment of Jane. Situational irony turns out to be the opposite of what is expected. For example, after giving birth to a son, Jane begins to suffer from postpartum depression. John feels it would be best for Jane to recover from her depression using the rest cure. The rest cure was a method of treatment popularized by Silas Weir Mitchell in which a patient would only rest and eat throughout the day. But according to Rula Quawas, “ the irony of the rest cure is that its methods... caused many women to become neurasthenic in the first place” (Quawas). John thought that leaving Jane alone in her room and not allowing her to partake in any activities would make her better, but ironically, that backfired. His treatment actually worsened her depression and caused her to have a mental breakdown.

Nobody knew how awful things had gotten for her. Understanding depression varies from person to person. One person may understand it and know what’s going on, while another person will totally be lost and believe that you are making everything up. While reading the book one particular quote stuck out to me, it helped me understand depression more than I ever have (“Sometimes," says a fellow depressive, "I wish I was in a full body cast, with every bone in my body broken. That 's how I feel anyway. Then, maybe,

Natalie was invited to speak at Harvard for Annual Class Day Celebration. When counseling the graduating class, she urged them to find their internal motivation and to be satisfied with the choices they make, not to allow opinions or expectations of others to take presidence(Pazzanese, 2015).

She works so hard to fulfill it after Matt “betrayed” it.

The conflicts between the two lovers are the way to deal with people and the attitudes to life are so different. To make efforts of reconciling the conflicts, Kate feels painful. But this is the course of rediscovering and readjusting herself.

“I don’t understand it! There was cancer... I can’t explain it?” These were the words that where delivered to Dwayne Cleveland, Stacy’s husband by a doctor in the city of Tifton, Georgia. Only the day before, Stacy had been given startling news that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. “I was scared, I was worried, and I was frightened!” Stacy expressed to me as she sat in her small, southern kitchen, starring at the camera. Her brown hair mixed in with the shadows caused by the low lighting, but yet her small figure, and her bright smile stuck out against her lightly colored walls. Although the thoughts of fear and anxiety of what would be happening in the near future were
