Under The Rice Moon Summary

This expanded definition of freedom is one that deserves to be considered, and it is one that Lambert dedicates a significant portion of text to. Birds are an obvious choice in nature to represent what freedom looks like because they are not bound to the earth in the way that men

Freedom is found in the book through symbolism. The caged birds in the novel are a constant reminder of Edna’s own encagement to society. Edna gets brief periods of time where she feels like she is free. Like when she learns to swim, “A feeling of exultation overtook her, as if some power of significant import had been given her to control the working of her body and her soul” (Chopin 29). As Edna is heading toward the beach so she can drown herself she sees some of her

S.C Gwynne writes about the history of the Comanche tribe during the United States’ attack on the natives of North America in his book, Empire of the Summer Moon: Quanah Parker and the Rise and fall of the Comanches, the Most Powerful Indian Tribe in American History. In this book he talks about the rise and fall of Comanches under Quanah Parker who was the last free tribal leader of the Comanches, and also goes in depth about the tribe itself and it’s growth over time.

When he bought it he whispered to the bird,”I know who will take care of you, little bird.” He was going to give the bird to his ill daughter to make her feel better. Like all of the other characters the man didn’t know what the swallow was saying. He placed the cage in the room and left. When the girl woke up in the middle of the night she saw the birdcage in her room and she realised how terrible it can be when a bird is in there. None of the characters understood what the bird wanted so badly but finally the bird has its chance. The bird slightly hesitated then opened its wings and flew away. Additionally, the girl said,”Will you fly for me, too, little bird?” stating that she can’t get free but she wants to feel free.

"The Moon We Left Behind" is an article about the importance of the US space program, and why such a program shouldn't be cancelled. The US space program was cancelled in 2010 according to the article by president Obama inciting the need of Charles Krauthammer to write the article before it was cancelled. The article “The Moon We Left Behind” was written in July 17, 2009; a year before the space program was actually cancelled. Charles Krauthammer is a widely known author and an experienced veteran within the field of journalism since 1981. Today, the space program is not of great importance; but to Charles Krauthammer, the space program, as many do, saw the program as important. Their reasoning is the usage of such a program can advance technology,

To start off, we will start to talk about Who is the caged bird and why. I think that according to the story, “The Long Walk Home”

He grew and throve very well in his small cage. “Here he grew, and throve in strength and beauty under the care of an invisible protecting hand.” The animal’s owner provided all the life supplies he needed and nourished him everyday. One day he discovered that the cage was open. The animal was scared at first, but then approached it. He decided to make a run for freedom. A leap for liberty. The animal dashed out of the cage and now lives free like any other wild animal. Waiting and then taking the risk was worth the chance.

When a bird is put into a cage, it feels trapped. Even if it wants to leave, it can’t. All of it’s decisions have already been made for them. When it tries to speak out, we shut it up. In the book Out of the Easy by Rupa Sepetys, Josie, the main character, was treated like a bird in a cage, trying to escape and always trying to seek help. The decisions her mom made impacted her more than the decisions Josie made for herself. Since her mom was labeled as a “whore” or “a prostitute”, Josie was thought of that as well. But Josie turned her situation around, she had a willingness and such strive to get out of her rusty cage, her miserable town; she didn’t let her past affect her future.

I am reading a book called The Empire Of The Summer Moon. This book is about the Comanche tribe, when reading this book it makes me realize how much the American government has done for its people in the past. Which honestly in my opinion insnt very much, it's always been the people of this nation that has gotten us through the hard times. This book shows the charisma, boldness, and strength of the American people during the mid 1800s. I enjoy this book greatly because i am learning about my heritage and where I came from and what it took for me to get here.

The reason why the children at the market couldn’t understand the bird’s pleas for release was that

The first stanza of the poem introduce the free bird. Angelou uses words such as “leaps . . . and floats” (Line 1-3) in description of this character’s movements. These actions relate directly to moving without restrictions. The words leaped and floats are contradicted immediately in the second stanza as Angelou brings the caged bird into the picture. Angelou uses diction that complements confinement

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert Heinlein is a 1966 science fiction novel that depicts a lunar colony’s revolt against Earthmen’s dominion over its economics and politics. The novel presents strong female characters who incite and sustain the revolution, alongside the male torchbearers. Although Heinlein’s characterization of Lunar women as citizens with freedom of choice over marriage and employment is suggestive of his progressive attitude, the lack of self-ownership and ultimate marginalization of women as wives, serve to elucidate Heinlein’s greater conformity to the traditional gender representations of the 20th century.

In the last stanza, the caged bird’s song symbolises the emotions and cries of freedom. The combination of the two represents that there is a need for every child to reach their full potential. Something that cannot be achieved with helicopter parenting and the barriers placed upon them.
