The painting by Norman Rockwell, “The Problem We All Live With”, and short story, “Flowers” by Alice Walker, connects to the unit theme of “Defining Moments” in plentiful ways.

Alice Walker’s “The Flowers” is a compacted short story that contains an explosive and unexpected secret in the midst of a rose garden, Walker’s detailed and quick paced plot leaves the reader with no idea about the dark climatic scene at the end of the story. Walker’s quick paced plot develops an unusual structure where the exposition and rising action occupy most of the story while the climax, falling action and resolution hastily occur within the last two paragraphs.

The second performance was a solo act given the title of “Love You, Possess Me.” The title says it all. This was a very dark piece. The dancer was wearing an all black lace dress. She gave off an impression of being a black widow. The movements were mostly on the floor. The music was dim, and made me feel as though I was in a thriller film. The look on the performer 's face made me feel as though she was distant from everyone else, tragic, and apprehensive. I enjoyed this piece the most out of all of them.

As I stood in awe of Drake at Austin City Limits Music Festival, I realized how frequently I go to concerts and how heavily music has impacted my life (/teenage years?idk). Growing up, my mom shared a diverse range of artists with me. As a child I would listen to Randy Travis and Dolly Parton one day then Michael Jackson and Madonna the next. Commentary____________________________________ Commentary Music is a way for me to connect with family, friends, and strangers on an exhilarating level. Music is a way for me to escape from society and dive into a pool of melodies. The stress of AP courses that have bombarded my life is gone. The exhaustion I get after running miles at practice seems irrelevant. The pressure of standardized tests and the heavy expectation to do well fades away. The money I spent on the concert ticket no longer has value. Here in this moment, with a mass of loud, sweaty, upbeat people, I feel at ease. I desire an intense feeling

Which of course was a performance I had to go see. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one thinking that because the venue was well attended with people of all ages. Even though walking into the venue was quite embarrassing because I did not get the memo of dressing exclusively fancy, I’m sure the audience ended up forgetting I was even in the building because the selections were all breathtaking in my opinion. Each piece was harmonious to the ear that there was no room for dissonant sounds on stage. The selections were uplifting that they made me tap my hand away to the meter of each song. Out of the fourteen selections performed I had three that were my personal favorites which were James Horner: Hollywood Blockbusters, Bond, Explosive, and In His Eyes from Jekyll and Hyde which featured Megan Stapleton, guest soprano. The thing that they all had in common for sure is that they made me get goose bumps, but other than that what really captured my attention was the harmony and dynamics of each

Identity is like a flower. The flower has a strong stem to help it stand up. The flower has many petals that make the flower what it is. The flower relies on the environment to help it flourish. Many people try to figure out who they are, when really, identity forms when it’s least expected.

Mrs.Flowers actions are like a lifeline for the silent child, Magruerite, because Mrs.Flowers gave her attention and love. An example from the story would be that Marguerite said, “ i was liked and what a difference it made. I was respected not as Mrs.Hendersons grandchild or Baileys sister but for just being Marguerite Johnson.” This shows that Marguerite made her feel special because at the beginning of the story she said she felt like an old biscuit now she feels liked and respected. Another detail is towards the end of the story Marguerite said, “ it was enough to prove that she liked me.” Margurite feels loved and respected after Mrs.Flowers spent time with her.

According to your agency’s website you’re actively seeking a wide range of fiction, so I would like to present my novel, A Flower for You, for representation.

     The concert I attended was a recital of Mexican baroque choral music. There were 5 main pieces played, each one having its own unique style and function. The recital was held at University of South Carolina School of Music recital hall room 201 on Tuesday, March 22, 2005 at 6:00pm. The group that sang was the graduate vocal ensemble and was conducted by Daniel S. Clark. The group of singers did an excellent job capturing the music and it was very hard to notice any major mistakes. The concert in a whole was a very soothing to me because when I went there I was very hyper and tense, but as the pieces were being played out, I became very relaxed and sleepy. This concert was a little different because in the

I think that in Virginia C Andrews’ book “Flowers in the Attic” published in 1979, an important aspect of the book in the setting. Flowers in the attic is mainly set at Foxworth Hall where the main character and narrator, Cathy Dollanganger’s grandparents, Malcolm and Olivia Foxworth reside in an exalted mansion in Virginia. Cathy and her three siblings, Carrie, Cory & Christopher are all detained in a vacant room which consist of two big double beds, several items of furniture, curtains that are never to be unfastened and a number of paintings on the bedroom walls that represent hell to show that God is always watching. There is a closet which has a concealed stair case that heads towards to attic. The attic is narrated to be extremely large

In the poem, “The Flowers” , Alice Ambulator conveys the construal of the abandonment of inculpability. This is present when Myop discovers a corpse as she is on her ambulation in the woods to pick berries. Alice Ambulator uses Imagery and setting to accentuate the denotement of the poem because the Imagery provides detail to the realities of today’s world and the setting provides a deep understanding of childhood and tenebrosity.
