The novel’s major conflict is Edna and her conflicting beliefs against society regarding what a woman’s role should be, and it is shown quite early in the novel. An example of such would be Edna’s defiance of Leonce’s orders and her decision to remain outside in the cold back at Grand Isle (35). Edna’s growing resistance to society, especially in this scene, demonstrates the fierce soul she possesses. Her realization of the fact that her husband does not control her seems to spark within her at…
Figge Art Museum Who would have thought that I, who had neither exposure to nor much interest in art, would have been so captivated by what I experienced during my visit to the Figge Museum. I grew up in Davenport and currently live outside the Quad Cities area and yet I was unaware of the impressive art museum that is in Davenport. I was excited to visit this museum and to see what I had been missing out on all of my life. When I approached the building, its contemporary architectural…
I enjoyed many experiences on our study tour to Salzburg and Vienna, but my favorite experiences were the guided visit of the Mozart House in the Vienna City Center, the tour and concert of the Mozarteum and Mozart’s opera “La Clemenza di Tito”. I really loved the guided visit of the third Mozart house we went to, the one in Vienna. Not only did it have some really interesting Mozart stuff, but I also loved the exhibition on “Rock Me Amadeus” in the basement of the house. I loved the tour guide…
I was originally interested in studying architecture; the thought of designing houses really was amazing to me. I visited WIT for the first time over spring break my junior year, and didn’t know what to expect, but was excited for the architecture programs to help me get some insight on what it is I would be doing for my four years there and eventually for the rest of my life. But how would I decide? How would I know I was making the right choice? How would I know that I was choosing the right…
the community and yourself to help them out. As a student, I’m limited to the number of things I can do, but I can help them by involving in community work, spreads information about the issue…
worsened is the personality of Scrooge, the tight-fisted hand at the grindstone, a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous, old sinner! On page two, I noticed the author states that Scrooge has an insufficient fire for keeping himself warm, but the clerk’s fire (Bob Cratchit) was so indubitably small that it looked like one coal, which is very small. Everyone used to know Scrooge’s persnickety personality throughout the community as an unpleasant personality to be around…
pleasant personality, and who like his father, was intelligent, brave and focused on what he wanted out of life. Gabe, her youngest, unlike Freddie her middle child, never for a moment, doubted that he was welcomed. So, he always entered boldly, usually by letting the door slam behind him, announcing his arrival. Never like Freddie, who eased into the house as if he’d committed some grave sin and was about to be punished. And Rachel,…
Good morning Melissa, I hope this note finds you well and having a great Wednesday! I apologize for making it there so late, I had an impromptu meeting at 1035 with Kim and I left the store later than planned, my thought was that you’d still be interviewing when I arrived so please know that. I don’t want to be disrespectful of your time as I know that you are very busy. I was so glad to shadow Kyle yesterday, that went a long way to helping me better understand the ordering process as well as…
While I know that there are no specifications as to what classifies someone as being filled with wanderlust, I firmly believe that there is so much more to it than simply wanting to see a few destinations outside of your country. There is a fine line between wanting to see the world and wanting to experience it. Travel becomes so much more when you step outside of your comfort zone and try…
A Night To Remember This was less of a night to remember, and more of a night that is etched into my brain, a night that I try so hard to forget. It never evades my memory, no matter how badly I wish it would. It caused me great pain and worry, but I will always remember it, because it was a sign that I wanted to get better. It was a sign that there was something more inside of me than just those terrible, awful things. This day was a priceless crystal vase slipping out of somebody 's clumsy,…
