Short Story : ' The Doll '

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.

The two had been playing practical jokes on each other a week after becoming roommates and close friends. Jarrod pulled his tablet from the back waist of his pants. “I figure you would read it. That’s why I took my real words with me. He hahaha’d out a loud laugh, Bobby immediately went after him and tried to

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.

They'd put down three Revenants this week, which wasn't a lot but it wasn't none, and they had had to go hunt for them, which was encouraging that at least demons weren't openly wandering around populated areas slaughtering innocent people. So, in an unprecedented event, Marshall Dolls acquiesced to a night on the town in Purgatory. Which actually just meant two-man teams of pool at Shorty's. But Wynonna took what she could get, and took another beer from his hand. He looked different to her for some reason. Lighter or something, freer; compared to hunting down demons and killing them, she reminded herself.

The setting of the poem The Jimmy Doll is one that many people today can hardly begin to imagine. As the narrator informs the reader, the composition takes place in an age where, “Times were hard, jobs were few,” and “Money was not to be had.” For these reasons, the setting of the poem is crucial to the reader’s understanding. So many of us today can’t think what it would be like to not receive anything on our birthday, or to wake up to an empty stocking on Christmas morning. But situations such as these were a part of everyday life for Luella, the main protagonist of the poem.

“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.

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

“Who’s this? Did she help you?” Michael questions me. “This is my...." I look over at Jade-Anne and to see if I she agrees on what I'm about to say, she nods back. "Well, who is she?!" Michael questions with annoyance in his tone. “Oh yeah, guys this is my girlfriend, her name is Jade-Anne, but she prefers Jade, and technically I helped her from two zombie hordes and before you say anything, she did help me bring back more supplies than I could've brought back myself and I thought she could stay with us since her friends got eaten by zombies and I know how hard it is to survive alone.” I say trying to convince the boys. “I guess so.” The boys reply with. They go back to what they were doing and I say to Jade-Anne, “No matter what happens zombies will never keep us apart, I will do my best to protect you, I will never let you leave my sight.” I say to her while we cuddle on our small

I was just about done with this gang, I think all the other boys have the same idea Joe harper and some other boys already left. Tomorrow Tom says he’s gonna steal himself some fine juelery.

Marge Piercy’s free verse poem “Barbie Doll”, set in early 1900’s, uses many literary devices to describe a woman meeting society’s unrealistic expectations from the day she is born till the day she dies. In this 4 stanza poem, imagery is used many times when describing the girl’s feelings. “her good nature worn out like a fan belt” (15-16) Also a simile, it refers to the constant criticism of the society which leads the protagonist’s nature to die out. By using the theme of appearance vs reality, Marge Piercy uses symbolism of the title, Barbie doll, to show the perfect figure everyone expected from the poor girl even after she died.

The boys broke into the building as discretely as one could under near complete darkness. They entered the building as quiet as a mouse's sneeze. They heard singing upstairs and it clicked in Richie's mind. “Guys,” He whispered as quietly as possible, “ It’s the 8th night of hanukkah. Stay down here and let me handle this.” Richie krept up the stairs and had to think for a moment about what he wanted to say. “I’m gonna get myself killed.” He muttered as he silently dropped his coat to show his british

Jason's mother goes up to her and asks her what's wrong with her.

She waited patiently for forty-five minutes. Then an hour passed by, Then and hour and a half. Finally Jessica went to go find the doctor.She stumbles upon an disagreement it seemed like. Doctor Ahmed was discussing something with the same Tall, Skinny, dressed in all white nurse, as she explained “these lab results don't make since,doctor.” “You said that Jaxon Hagman has Aml Leukemia right?” Of Course, give me though right now, Ahmed said. The nurse pulled the papers away from his reach. “Right here it says he doesn't” the nurse explained. “Shut your mouth”… “That is none of your business”,the doctor said. Jessica ran back into the room with Jaxon screaming, crying, holding her baby.She thought to herself “I knew it all along”. “I was right”. That’s why he had those facial expressions.

"Jeff! Mia! Liu!” Yelled Margaret. “Come on! We have to get the rest of the stuff packed up!” She yelled again. “We're coming mom!” Mia yelled back. “Why do we have to move again?” Asked her youngest brother by a year. “Because dad got that stupid promotion” Jeff grumpily explained as he lifted up one of the last boxes. “Come on Jeffrey, it can't be that bad. We are after all moving closer out into the country. Imagine all the cool places we will be able to explore. Cheer up bro.” I said as I grabbed the last few things and went down the stairs. Jeff absolutely hated being called Jeffrey, that's why I tease him about it every once in a while. Jeff always teases me about that fact he's the oldest twin, he's only older by an hour. I guess that's

Katherine Mansfield's "The Dolls House" seems to be a simple story about children receiving a own ideas and opinions. Even though everyone is entitled to their own opinion it is often bizarre to see how our opinions are based on those of others. This essay will outline the events that occurred in the story which are a big part in regards to the two different worlds of adults and children, and how they are separated from each other.

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.
