A rose generally symbolizes love and purity. Roses are used in weddings, for anniversaries, or given just to say I love you. When roses are seen in our daily lives we don’t find ourselves thinking bad thoughts but after reading several poems that involve this beautiful flower it opens up new meanings. The poem "I am like a rose" by D.H. Lawrence shows how the writer compares himself to a rose. "One Perfect Rose" by Dorothy Parker symbolizes the rose as a traditional flower given as a gift and "The Sick Rose" by William Blake brings an idea of the darkness of a rose. These three poems show similarities and vast differences of a rose as they are expressed throughout the stories they tell.

Consider the word “see” in line 606, as Lanval’s love enters the room she is immediately noticed. This prompt response to her entrance straightaway reveals the implications of her beauty and the importance it has on Lanval’s trial along with the male relation the females in this time period. Women are objectified to a certain extent yet also essential to the inner workings of society. This can also be observed in the context of this passage due to the fact that the queen made the accusations against Lanval and though they were lies the extensive reach of her authority is notable. Also consider the line 607 “The king who was well bred rose and went to meet her” (166). This line directly relates aspects of the chivalric code to a woman’s beauty due to the fact that the king was “well bred” he did not make her walk all the way to him and instead rose to meet

Roselily, is an excerpt taken from Alice Walker’s IN LOVE AND TROUBLE: Stories of Black Women written in the year of 1973. The excerpt Roselily, is essentially about a woman named Roselily who is about to get joined in holy matrimony, aside from that she is having second thoughts about getting married. The reason why she is second guessing this marriage is because she has not yet grasped the concept of ontological wholeness. Ontological wholeness is the ability to unite the past with the present in order to reverse past occurrences, which can only occur when one is completely satisfied with themselves. Ultimately, Roselily can not fulfill her journey to self- discovery and

Shakespeare, does an amazing job with counter balancing the two main characters of the play, by giving Cleopatra the masculine qualities that Antony did not possess. The roles of masculine and feminism are obscured, as both characters Antony and Cleopatra swap roles. As they both embrace each others masculine and feminine qualities, it 's quite inevitable for them to not fall in love. As W. Bakers stated, “Antony and Cleopatra can cross gender boundaries without losing their sex roles as man or woman” (2). Gender roles in this play is a key thing to look at, and it is perfectly executed in the play when Cleopatra puts her “tires and mantles on Antony whilst / she wore his sword Philippan” (92). Shakespeare highlights his knowledge, between knowing that both males and females share and intertwine both masculine and feminine qualities.

That day I woke up, saw that it was raining outside but I did not let that ruin my mood. Overjoyed, I imminently sent someone over to cut Nick’s grass and also had flowers delivered. I arrived a hour before Daisy, making sure everything was perfect I nervously passed around. Then she arrives, before she enters I exited though the back door second geeing my plan. Asking myself, “what if she does not want to see me.” After growing the courage, I walked inside, immediately feeling the awkwardness in the air. After a couple minutes Nick leaves us alone and everything turned out to be okay. We talked, about everything, it was as if we were never separate. When Nick came back I invited them both to my house. Purposely doing so because I wanted Daisy to be impressed by my wealth, knowing it would pull her in some more. After giving them a tour of my house and having some fun in the water the day then came to an end. When they both left the missing piece in my heart filled with happiness. It was everything I hoped and more. I then knew Daisy still loved me and I loved

The sun rises and a new day dawns on Verona. Final preparations for Juliet and Paris’ wedding are underway. The Capulet household is glowing with excitement.

I stumble into English about 5 minutes late, clutching three binders and feeling the stares of the class on me. I awkwardly walk to the back corner, sit down, and put my stuff on my desk. I look up to see Mrs. Kobayashi walking to the front of the room.

The well established theater production, The Rose of Castille, delighted me throughout it’s splendiferous performance at the Olympic Theatre in New York. Firstly, as I looked outside the theater, its massive gray bricks expressed its beauty. As soon as I walked inside, the Olympic Theatre had French Renaissance paintings on its walls, magnificent.

In the beginning of summer of 1992, Dead Poets Society has been released into the public and was received with so much acclaim it found its way to the academy award, where it took the award for best original screenplay. Though many have been quoting the scene which includes, to the day, one of the most recognized and iconic lines “oh captain, my captain,” the one speech or monologue that truly captivated me in the film was the speech people would now call “Carpe Diem”. This speech is an in-depth look into the personal philosophy in the Robin William’s character, John Keating, while at the same time the screenwriter of the movie, Tom Shulman, is using this character to share his own philosophy to the audience itself. While it is certain that Keating is speaking to the audience, it is completely believable that he is also talking to the students as well.

Gender is typically constructed as a binary, man and woman. From the moment we are born, we are assigned a gender that for the rest of our lives will dictate what society expects of us. This will affect what toys we will play with, what clothes we wear, what colours we are suppose to like, what behaviour is expected of us, what career path is appropriate for us and what life experiences we will have. Gender is deeply ingrained into our society, our culture and way of life. Completely imbedded into our collective consciousness, media and literature has experimented with what the concept of gender means for us. In recent decades, the feminist movement has grown in bringing to light the oppression women faced, due to the label they’ve been assigned at birth. As society slowly broadens their views on what gender can be, it is good to look back on history to see the progress we’ve achieved and illuminate the problems that we still have in present day. In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the play accurately depicts the limiting societal expectations placed on women, the oppression women faced and the patriarchal social
