The Longest Ride I think that everyone has more than one searches in their life and they may last a long time but that is just human nature. I am reading The Longest Ride by Nicholas Sparks. Since my last journal Sophia and Luke have gotten a lot closer in the sense that they consider themselves as dating now. Ira is still stuck in the car and has just realized that the snow can keep him hydrated. Ira is still daydreaming that Ruth, his wife who passed away, is in the passenger seat of the car. The three most important searches in this book are Ira’ s search for the past, Luke’s search for his mom’s forgiveness, and Sophia’s search for love. Ira is on a search of the past because in the car he is taken back to his past with Ruth. These flashbacks make Ira imagine that Ruth is in the passenger seat of the car for a sojourn time. The flashbacks are to his times with Ruth and I think that he misses her so much so he constantly thinks about her. “I have been dreaming about my wife for almost a day as I lay trapped in the car. Ruth is gone. She died in our bedroom a long time ago …show more content…
His mom had to pay a ton of doctor bills and pay for the ranch at the same time, and before she knew it, it was like the money all grew legs and ran away ☺ (personification). Now they may possibly lose the ranch. “”She doesn’t want me to get hurt again. But what other choice do I have? I don’t even want to ride anymore… it’s not the same for me. But I don’t know what else to do. As best I can figure, we can last until June, maybe July. And then…”” (Sparks 219). This quote shows how Luke is trying to help his mom save the ranch by bull riding again, but the only problem is that she doesn’t want him to. He is trying to get her to realize that he is just trying to help her. He thinks that if he can get her to realize that then she will forgive him but it’s not

In Laura Kryhoski’s critical analysis of “The Red Convertible,” she points out several elements often overlooked when reading the short story for the first time. At first glance, the story appears “definably tragic” (Kryhoski). Kryhoski claims that if the reader were to investigate author Louise Erdrich’s background, the story would seem less of a tragedy and more of a reflection of her upbringing. As the narrator in “The Red Convertible,” Lyman seems to be recalling the tale from his memories rather than telling the events as they occur. Lyman focuses more on the distinct detail of each moment than he does on the bigger picture. This invokes the image

The “Attic Black-Figure Column Krater” depicts Dionysos the Wine God surrounded by various Satyrs and Maenads. The Satyrs and Maenads appear to be performing some kind of dance ritual, with Dionysos standing center. Dionysos, holding a drinking appeared rather relaxed compared to the others in the scene, it almost appears as if he was smiling at the Satyrs and Maenads. Ultimately, the subject matter of the painting on the vase showcases a joyous ritual with Dionysus and his follower Satyrs and Maenads. The subject matter of this vase infers that the Athenians were a festive people that enjoyed dance and wine.

The Ride is the story of the heinous and gruesome murder of ten year old, Jeffrey Curley, a case that is familiar to many in the Massachusetts area. The book works its way from the grisly crime to the years afterward. It focuses on the family of Jeffrey, heavily weighted on the life of Cambridge Firefighter Bob Curley, Jeffrey’s father. Charles Jaynes and Salvatore Sicari, both from Jeffrey’s neighborhood were convicted of the murder. Within this essay I will demonstrate from The Ride the relationship between reporting and suffering that may have been brought on for the crime victims of this case, the relationship between the victim profiles and the victim family profiles, the role in which the family may have played in the

Although the United States continued to grow, they grew in different directions. The North evolved into an urbanized entity which had an enormous shipping industry. On the other hand, the south did grow, but it grew around the notion of their property—slaves and the plantations. Southern society deeply depended on their production of their plantations—if not, debt was inevitable. Plantation owners began to control much of their politics throughout the south, bolstering the importance of the plantation regime. All of the aspects of the southern society revolved around the statues of the properties—the slaves. Slaves determined the political actions taken by the south, the societal attitude, and the agricultural knowledge dispersed throughout the population.
Reba’s aunt, Ruth Foster, has a name that is also associated with a character in the Bible, also named Ruth. In the Bible, after her husband died, Ruth faithfully stays with her mother-in-law, refusing to leave. One of Ruth’s most notable quotes from the Bible is as follows: “Do not press me to leave you or to turn back from following you! Where you go, I will go; Where you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall be my people, and your God my God. Where you die, I will die—there will I be buried. May the Lord do thus and so to me, and more as well, if even death parts me from you!” (Ruth 1:16-17). In this quote, the reader can see that Ruth is willing to stay by her mother-in-law’s side no matter what, even claiming that she would even die with her. Naomi, her mother-in-law, is a constant reminder of Ruth’s husband, and she refuses to leave her because Naomi is the only reminder she has of her late husband. In Song of Solomon, after
