The Wedding - Original Writing

There once was a beautiful girl born to a poor family who had so much love for her, as she was the only daughter of eight. Unfortunately, they never had enough time with her, and her parents needed another son so he could work in the fields, not a daughter, who they would have to save up for a dowry. As she grew older her beauty did not fade, but alas, it grew stronger, yet she did not notice. At her 15th birthday her parents grew tired and their number one mission became to marry her off, as they just had a great harvest and could afford a small dowry. They made her walk through the local village in thin clothing every day so that the men would notice her, and make her curl her hair and spend time working on her looks so that her natural beauty could not shine through, only the

Weddings are meant to be a time of happiness and joy for both families of the couple who intend on joining their lives together. This cultural normality does not prove true for Frankie Addams, in the novel The Member of the Wedding written by Carson McCullers. Frankie is a young, twelve year old girl full of jealousy towards her older brother who will be wed towards the end of the novel. Despite being a tomboy, Frankie dreamed and eventually became obsessed with her wedding and the thought of getting married. The novel, set in southern United States in 1944, focuses on Frankie’s lack of a crowd to classify with and her desire to change herself to fit in with those around her. The reader learns of Frankie’s plans to run away with her brother because she feels she will fit in with him and his fiancé due to the love she has for the two of them. The author develops this novel by creating a “fascination with the breaking apart of the individual and social body” (Thurschwell 109) and sharing this fascination with the reader. This character analysis will show how the novels plot is guided by the transformations of the protagonist, Frankie, shown primarily through her identity changes which separate the novel into three separate parts in order to develop the main theme of losing innocence.

Tizbeth knew she was the only unmarried lady in the castle and encroaching on his mourning, but she did not know what to say to him to snag him and she did not want to make a fool of herself yet.

“I know mom,” I respond, rolling my eyes in spite of myself, “but I really can’t get another tardy.” Just like that I’m running down the street through the early morning

Displayed against the setting, golden sun on Gull Lake stands four white columns that resemble that of ancient Greece. White Wisteria sprouts from the top of these columns wafting a newborn baby scent, trickling over the edge in a wild display. Making three swags connecting the towers are ivory Egyptian cotton sheets, swaying from the lake breeze, that give the boxy structures a soft look. The head table is the true centerpiece in front of this backdrop. The table skirting is lit with the warm yellow glow of icicle lights and laid over top are two more swags of the Egyptian cotton sheets; counterbalancing the three on the backdrop. The vases on top of the white linen table are filled with pearls that hold up the silk flowers of

Before January ventures off in search for a wife, he decides to speak to his friends and tells him his wishes, he states, “But o thyng warne I yow, my freendes deere/ I wol moon oold wyf han in no manere/ She shal nat passe twenty yeer, certayn/ Oold fissh and yong flessh wolde I have ful fayn,” (lines 1415-18). He bluntly states that he desires a very young wife, no more than twenty, and this is a mistake because he fails to consider that marriage is a huge commitment therefore, it should be based off of love and not desire. This quote indicates how Januarie blindly believes that he can use May’s youth and beauty to his own advantage when in fact, May will eventually uses her age to exploit Januarie in the tale. Furthermore, January embarks

Poetry is a conduit that conveys the inner conversations in everyone through words or voice that assert the truth from its divine basis. Thus, a narrative poem refers to a system of poetry that tells a chronological story by the intonation of the orator, actions, or the documented version of the whole narration in form of a verse. Successfully, in this analysis, the “Wedding Eve” poem was written by Everette Standa. The author’s theme for this piece is a marriage that is about to happen “Wedding Eve”.
