At the Wabash railroad tracks, as the drifters were coming in, grandma set out food for them. Then the sheriff finds out. She said, that she is a one-woman crime wave, and that she was running an unregistered soup kitchen, but Grandma said “Go look it up O.B., See if there is a law against feeding the hungry, but I have to tell you, you've talked so long, the evidence is all ate up.”
In “Ida & the Bees,” Ida Adkins explains that her love and devotion to her owner drove her to stay by her master’s side during a Union raid.

In stark contrast to this, Eliza and George Harris in Uncle Tom’s Cabin ran away from their respective plantations out of distaste for their owners.

Mrs. Hale’s husband walks upon a crime scene that he was not expecting to see, bringing Mrs. Hale to the home of her old friend that she had lost touch with over the years. Upon entering the house, Mrs. Hale looks back at all the times she thought “I ought to go over there and see Minnie Foster”
In paragraphs 3, 4, and 5 the narrator undergoes many emotional changes such as confusion, amazement, and wonder.

Cassie’s mission is to escape the aliens and save her brother; Ben Parish’s is strikingly similar. Benjamin, age 17, was captain of the varsity football team, a prodigy in all things school, and he had a smile that could charm anyone. But brilliance and charm alone can not get him out of his current situation; sergeant and squad leader of a military unit assigned to eliminating alien infected persons. While in training at the military’s Camp Haven, Ben meets a very young boy named Sammy. Sammy is the same age as Ben’s now dead sister, five years old. He swore to himself that he would not let anyone hurt Sam, like the “others” murdered his little sister.

The wasps had managed to take up space in the woman’s spare bedroom for at least three months. The woman’s son had discovered the nest when he went to search the room for an item he needed. The room had been closed off, except for an open window.
When, much to his surprise, he discovers how the lake in the woods was still the same, how the bedroom still smelled of lumber, how the girls were still fifteen, as if “no years have gone by” and the only thing that changed was the man. That it is his son who sneaks out in the morning to the sweet outdoors now, who explores the streams, who gazes with childish awe at the thunderstorms, who runs out in joy and relief to go swimming in the rain. And that it is time to move on and realise that he can’t relive those moments as the figurative ‘right’ to do so, has moved on to the next generation. That in this moment he can only be the father, no longer the son. “The Brown Wasps” has the writer experiencing sorrow and despair due to a place, that is primary to his being, being non-existent and thus, the essay focuses more on the effects of time on the world around the man, rather than the man
The Wasp’s Nest by James L Rosenberg serves to primarily describe the life and troubles of wasps, making references to how they build their nests and interact with the humans around them. However, in the final stanza Rosenberg draws parallels between the life of a wasp and humans. Through his use of harsh diction while at the same time maintaining a somewhat solemn tone, Rosenberg is able to express the poem’s bigger idea - having to build lasting love and relationships while trying to deal with the conflicts that life brings you.
