In Tennessee Williams’ play The Glass Menagerie, the main character, Tom Wingfield constantly struggles with his desire to escape. He dreams of adventure and a life beyond his tiny tenement apartment. He is imprisoned in an unsatisfying world where he is constantly nagged and made to be responsible for his unusual sister. Tom’s desire to escape is emphasized by a number of symbols throughout the play. Tom battles with being tied down, his desire to escape, and his actual attempts to escape. They only ever can be considered attempts due to it not being possible for him to truly leave. Even though Tom dreams about adventure, he is never actually able to reach it. It would be unconceivable due to that fact that Tom is being tied down. His life is much like a prison life. He can try to go somewhere but he will never end up anywhere but the apartment. A symbol of this is the warehouse. The shoe factory is where Tom works. It is out of the apartment but he does not enjoy his time there. He just makes enough money to scrape by. This means he cannot quit, nor will his mother let him. When Tom leaves his mother shouts, “Go then! Go to the moon- you selfish dreamer!” (96). She knows that him leaving means that Laura and herself are on their own. In the first place, that is why Tom hasn’t left before. He knows that he must continue to work even if he is not in love with the circumstances. Not only does he feel the need to keep working he also finds the badgering from his mother quite…
weird inside almost like I was scared. A random face comes up to me and asks ‘’did you win your math thing James’’. I said ‘’yeah in unusual way. For a second I thought he joking or something. As I walked to the cafeteria I feel very weird inside almost like I have butterflies in my stomach. Out of no were I see a kid fly like super man straight across the room. I only see a blur. Then after he’s on the ground I could see him clearly. I could also hear people chanting like wild animals. Then I…
The park was crowed as everyone cherished his last game. It was a special moment, the kids felt like rockstars.Their laughs and smiles brightened up my day. "Darryl!" I turned around and saw Jack racing full speed towards me. He gave me a high five that stung my hand, and we talked for a little while. The game was about to start, so we headed towards the field. I could smell the popcorn in the air, and Jack said he wanted some so I bought it. "Today 's my last game" said Jack "are you coming…

1. THEME: The theme in the realistic fiction story Wonder by R.J Palacio is, it doesn’t matter what’s on the outside it’s the inside that counts. I know that’s probably the most cliche saying ever but, it’s true especially in the book Wonder. I say this because the main character August isn’t very well liked at first by anyone but Summer, because of the way he looks, this is especially sad because August has an amazing personality according to Jack, Jack says “... if all the guys in the fifth…
Whitman Predicting Ginsberg Every piece of poetry examined thus far this semester has had one common underlying thread. Regardless of form, style, or language, every collection of works has served as a vehicle to document history and warn humanity about the future. A fine example of this is the juxtaposition of mid 19th century poet Walt Whitman, and mid 20th century poet Allen Ginsberg. In his poem, Crossing the Brooklyn Ferry, Whitman envisions a hopeful future for America, while subtly…
Love and Alienation: Love Is Blind A great mind once said that “Love is blind”, which has come to mean that if you love someone, you cannot see any faults in that person. Some believe this is a lifelong feeling, but I believe it is only temporary. In the film Her by Spike Jonze, Theodore falls in love with his operating system and is forced to grow out of the honeymoon phase as the operating system advances. When Theodore first starts to fall in love with Samantha (his OS), he is blind to the…
being dependent on other people or on things; self-control and autonomy; privacy; the maintenance of one 's own standards, of all kinds; self-esteem” ("Philosophical Approaches to the Dilemma of Death with Dignity"). I contend dignity refers to the actual true quality of life and “a death with dignity is a death which enables the dying person to retain the elements of dignity which he or she values”(Asia Pacific Economics Blog”). The right to die is not a new controversy and in fact, in the…
the instant success of making waves in the market, after rebranding, I would give Fireball a grade of A in this category. Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Fire was launched following the success of Fireball’s launch and therefore did not uncover unmet needs. Ranked number four globally as top liquor brands, Jack Daniel’s has a very loyal following and makes a mark with $2.7 billion worldwide annual sales (Holodny, 2015). Jack Daniel 's Tennessee Fire’s image is representative of the positive…
well as several U.S. states, the first being Oregon. While substantial progress has been made in the movement to legalize PAS, many citizens with terminal illnesses are still refused the choice to end their lives on their terms. The legalization of PAS in the U.S. is simply the humane thing to do as it prevents the unnecessary suffering of terminally ill patients. Furthermore, ending the ban on PAS would treat all patients fairly under the Constitution, and discontinue the unregulated…
