Introduction There is a variety of ways that Philip Pullman has presented Sally Lockhart. Firstly, Sally is portrayed as brave because she is really independent: her father is dead, tough/a strong women as she could stand up for herself and was able to look after herself – especially since she was only 16 years old and the book was based in the Victorian Era therefore, there was a bit of sexism, saying that only male’s could do certain things. Pullman also shows the reader that Sally is very mature and intelligent. Throughout the opening chapters, Pullman introduces us to a nightmare that Sally has about her father and the description makes her seem so intriguing because she was a person who didn’t need company and would still be happy however …show more content…
This is because everyone treasures the ruby and wants to have it so badly – able to sacrifice for it - and when Sally is in possession of the ruby; she does not value it as the others do. This is implied in the quote ‘in the centre of the crumpled whiteness was a dome of blood. It was hard and cold.’ The dome of blood resembles the danger of the ruby; Sally does not have the need to feel that this is something, which she must treasure like the others who have been intoxicated by it. Instead, it is just shown by the adjectives used: ‘hard,’ and ‘cold.’ The repetition of ‘and,’ puts emphasis on each description of the ruby, showing how empty of emotion it is to Sally. Mrs Holland was so obstinate that she wanted the ruby; she ends up dying after telling Sally all the information she wanted to know. She wanted to know how her father died and why, and this is when she finds out that her real father was Major Marchbanks. Mrs Holland died because she jumped into the river with the ruby that Sally threw it into. The ruby mesmerized Major Marchbanks and he wanted to trade the ruby for Sally when she was a little baby. Captain Lockhart thought that Major Marchbanks was a coward and so he decided to be the father of Sally, as she would have died. In chapter 19, she finds herself shooting the man that killed her father – Hendrik Van Eeden or Ah Ling. You can see that she bottles

Phillis Wheatley was the the first African American writer to have her books published in the United States. Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral written by Wheatley was viewed as a model for the importance of education with religious aspects, as it was often seen throughout her poetry. Formulated mainly of neoclassical elegiac poetry, Poems on Various Subjects triggered several discussions concerning the length to which Wheatley can be deemed a minor poet or whether she wrote to express politics and moral trouble.
The film I chose to view for this Romantic Comedy paper was When Harry met Sally. I enjoyed this movie. The two main characters were Harry (Billy Crystal) and Sally Allbright (Meg Ryan).

The need for survival the characters felt within the movie is a parallel example of the need for survival the prisoners desperately felt throughout the entire war. In the movie, Irena helps Jews living inside the Polish Ghetto by bringing in food, clothing, and vaccines against diseases. Irena feels as if what she is doing is not enough for the Jews and that she could help them more, so she gathers up a group of trustworthy friends and coworkers who will help her smuggle children out of the ghetto. (The Courageous Heart of Irena Sendler, 0:15:00-0:20:00) Watching the movie, the audience can only imagine how great of a risk Irena and her friends were put upon their lives.
In the book Eleanor and Park, Eleanor is an overweight character, and she is always bullied about her size. Eleanor is different from the other kids both physically and mentally. She comes from an intensely poor family, which is led by her evil and abusive step father, Richie. Eleanor doesn’t feel like she fits in, but instead of avoiding this, Eleanor embraces it. Her father makes repeatedly marks about her size, saying she eats a lot. Richie insults Eleanor about her appearance regularly. Eleanor does not hate the fact that she is fat, but she loathes how rejected she is because she looks different than anyone else. Park loves everything about Eleanor. At first, we see that Park isn’t sure why she wants to call attention to herself with her clothing style. But Park’s speculation made sense once he got to know Eleanor.
The film “When Harry Met Sally” is rife with examples of interpersonal communication victories and utter failures. The main characters- Harry Burns played by Billy Crystal and Sally Albright played by Meg Ryan- are captive to each other’s company during a car ride from Chicago to New York and quickly find they maintain very opposite viewpoints on much of life, especially relationships between men and women. The premise for the argument and the remainder of the film is the disagreement as to whether or not women and men can be friends without sex getting in the way. Harry maintains it is not possible, and Sally takes the opposite position. Throughout the film Harry and Sally display a number of different communication traits. Their

A great poem shocks us into another order of perception. It points beyond language to something still more essential. It ushers us into an experience so moving and true that we feel at ease. In bad or indifferent poetry, words are all there is. Edgar Allan Poe’s poem “Annabel Lee” is a great poem, not because it is popular or it is classic, but because of its underlining message. “Annabel Lee” is a poem of death, love, and beauty. It captures the narrator’s interpretation of these three ideas through his feelings and thoughts for one woman. The narrator, Edgar Allan Poe, becomes infatuated at a young age with the character in the poem, Annabel Lee. Even after she passes away, his love for her only increases and only becomes

I think it's to do with pleasure, rather than pain. These two are so intimate at this moment that they just want to be as close as possible. They hold each other tight, hands and the position of his abdomen, which lacks movement, suggesting that he just stays as far in as possible. This also indicates that one partner is sexually dominant the other is submissive.
