In Flanders FieldsIn Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row,That mark our place; and in the skyThe larks, still bravely singing, flyScarce heard amid the guns below.We are the Dead. Short days agoWe lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,Loved, and were loved, and now we lieIn Flanders fields.Take up our quarrel with the foe:To you from failing hands we throwThe torch; be yours to hold it high.If ye break faith with us who dieWe shall not sleep, though poppies growIn Flanders

Moll becomes aware that as a woman, any stable career opportunities for her were non-existent and she must rely

As well as this, the denouement of the novel where Moll becomes a gentlewoman in Virginia provides an irony to Moll's youthful declaration - even if this identity comes into being through her incestuous (if accidental) marriage to her brother. For the majority of the narrative, however, Defoe defines Moll through her lack of identity and the performative aspects that accompany her malleability. During her reunion with Jemy in Newgate, where Moll is allegedly her most reformed and penitent, she still

Plus, her cons work much better in the big urban center, where avoiding capture and blending in with all the hubbub are as easy as pie. For a while
