Wall Rose Monologue

The pearl, in my opinion, was not evil, it was bait. It lured bystanders in as a test. It reminds be of the trails to get to heaven; it was made to entice the greedy and selfish so they may be punished. Those who can keep away the destructive thinking of power and riches get rewarded. It was a standard to leech out the sinners.

Getting to know Sydney made me realize a lot more about life. Going into college I felt agitated because I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with my life, and maybe moving here was a mistake, but Sydney reassured me. Although tomorrow is a mystery, we need to have faith that it’ll bring us exactly what we need. Her story of having a youth full of uncertainty and now having a life of complete sense has given me hope that I will be okay, and to just enjoy today and it’s opportunities.

Mattie is there for others when the going gets tough, whether or not they think

Daniella Owusuwaah Ashley Dunn THE 191: Section K 28, April 2015 Avenue Q: Sesame Street Meets South Park Avenue Q is a laugh-out-loud, fast moving musical that is an adult version of Sesame Street that address racism, pornography, homophobia, and the parable of finding one’s purpose in life through satirical songs. On Friday, April 17, I saw Miami’s production of Avenue Q directed by Ms. Saffron Henke at the Gates-Abegglen Theatre. This unique show uses puppets as a shield to explore issues that are often hard and sensitive to talk about; it’s easy to talk about racism when it’s through a puppet. I believe that the goal of Miami’s production of Avenue Q was to present and educated to the community and the students about issues such as

In “Unsung Ordinary Men” Max Butler spent over three years in horrific prisoner of war camps. These places he spent three years of his life and his connection to these places like the Thai-Burma Railway Camp influences the perception of not belonging. “Some have never fired or held a rifle…it was the same sense of shock spreading through them all.” In literal sense Max Butler his connection to this place perceives our perception of not belonging as his choice of language perceives the implication that he does not belong. Max’s connection to this place influenced a perception of not belonging. Connections to places often influence whether perceptions are of belonging or not belonging. World War One for Max Butler was perceived as not belonging at this stage. This text also deals with the perception of belonging being influenced by place. The use of language is used in this text is important on how perceptions of belonging and not belonging is influenced by connections to places.

They also sacrificed part of their happiness, which had made them sad “Sometimes I wish I’d stayed there, watching the war, rather than being here, safe, but without friends” (Brice 17). And since they were in a different place, where they weren’t really part of, they were being treated differently. Some of the reasons are because they look different or their beliefs are different. That’s why they have barely any friends or even no friends. “I used to like making the girl who shared my desk cry. Now they make me cry. Will I be punished forever?” (Lai 213) They also had to leave behind their homes that they are a part of them, and now find another one in a place that is altogether new to them. Sometimes, they can’t even call the new place home because they may be sharing with someone or it isn’t a very permanent place, like a camp. “Once inside a host country’s borders, refugees must find shelter, sometimes within another family’s home, but more often in a refugee camp” (Gevert

Yolen enlightens and inspires responders through the use of structure, language and other techniques. The novel Briar Rose by Jane Yolen is a heart wrenching story of sleeping beauty intertwined with the horrors of the Jewish Holocaust. The structure of the novel is altered in a way to interweave three stories including Gemma's Briar Rose fairy tale, Becca's quest and Josef's story.

Some of the techniques Yolen uses to enlighten responders is the use of other techniques such as allegory and symbolism which acts as a metaphor in which one story represents another.

I am 21 years of age with no one to count on, no hopes for a brighter future, and feeling all alone trying to be the best mother I can be for Abigail-Rose. I’m wondering who can help guide me through my journey of motherhood and as a young woman, where I try to be as visible as possible in covering my emotions through a smile. I’m trying to show that I am a strong young woman, yet I’m scared to do or say the wrong things. I desperately hope no one will ask me if “I’m okay,” because then I’ll burst into tears.

Colette dreamed. She was sitting down though the ground was hundreds of feet below. In the northeast she make out her tower, though it was just a dot from where she was. Across from her was another Colette, motionless save for the slow rise and fall of her chest as she breathed. The black, smoky eyes betrayed it as Fetch. They sat across from each other wordlessly, and Colette began to clear her throat softly.

Here I am sitting on this bus. Things look different and I’m not quite sure I like it. I can’t see anybody; where did they go? You wouldn’t think that three years could really make that much of a difference in the way people live. Nobody wrote me the entire time I was locked up which kinda hurt me inside but I couldn’t do anything about it. I knew that my family wasn’t much of a family to write. But, it would’ve helped to see my family at least try to write me and try to contact me or see how I was doing.

He won’t wake up! He won’t wake up! Johnny said nothing.
