wouldn't have." "I might have," the man said. "Just because you say I wouldn't have doesn't prove anything."" .......................... "They're lovely hills," she said. "They really don't look like white elephants. I just meant the coloring of their skin through the trees." Jig's main objective throughout the story is ensuring that her partner is happy. This is apparent when she tells him that she will go through with the abortion. "Then I'll do it. Because I don't care about me

including the words. Cammorns face looks happy but his dads not so much. I then suddenly feel a tense and overwhelming feeling overtake me. My head starts to hurt and my heart starts to beat faster. I start to feel nauseous and dizzy as i get up from the couch i was sitting on. That the last thing I remember before I fall to the floor into a black abyss….. “Congratulation, you two look great together,” the man says as he shakes my hand. I look around me and to my surprise, i'm at the beach. There over

day can begin right. Breakfast is indeed a vital part of the day. However, I personally don’t care for breakfast food, I never have. Grits, oatmeal, cream of wheat, etc. have never been my “thing”. I think it is the textures that get to me, or it could just be that I dread getting up earlier than I have to. I am not a morning person at all. Most of the time I just skip breakfast. I know overall that is not a good thing. I would soon learn just how important it is not to skip this meal one bitterly

blues of the Jets and I found myself drawn to her in each scene she was present in. I also found myself drawn to members of the Sharks as I understood the racism they faced from members of the Jets, Officer Krupke, and Detective Schrank. The characters of Tony and Maria were actually the characters I didn’t really like as I saw them both as selfish.

make up it make her feel more confident and enhanced her beauty that is already there. But I already think she look beautiful the way she is without the make up. I met her back in mid-Winter of 2014. I went back home to the cities, North Minneapolis during winter break. As I got home I was checking on my Facebook on my cell. I was strolling down on my newsfeed and I saw a picture of this woman, who I thought was very beautiful. She has nice beautiful

the parting of the trees make it seem as though Jig is on the verge of an epiphany and then she retracts assuming his way of thinking, following him back into the shade. At the end of the story Jig is seemingly content, "I feel fine," she said. "There's nothing wrong with me. I feel fine.", though in reality she is a docile woman who cannot think or live for herself. <br> <br>D.H. Lawrence presents a similarly inferior character

they look. “With straps pushes off, there is nothing between the top of the suit and the top of her head except just her…” (Updike, 1963, p. 2). And “She held her head so high her neck, coming out of those white shoulders, looked kind of stretched, but I didn’t mind. The longer her neck was, the more of her there was.” (Updike, 1963, p. 2). Sammy clearly thought this girl was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen and he didn’t seem to think the other girls were too bad either because he spent some

I believe that the symbolic coup of capitalism against the divine is embodied in this scene. Daniel represents entrepreneurship that has allowed money to become a religion in of itself.

Ones in which one is self made and obtains things through money rather than expecting a deity to grant us all our wishes. Ultimately it is a symbolic

It was a busy day at Starbucks, where I worked as a barista. The line was backed up almost out the door. I saw a vaguely familiar woman with wavy brunette locks and a waifish figure enter the coffeeshop. Beside her was a man who looked to be in his mid-50’s. He led her to an armchair in the corner and got in line. I snuck glances at her out of the corner of my eye while I made one of the drinks, trying to figure out why I recognized her wide brown eyes. But I shook off the thought and focused on
