To me the Lorax`s message “UNLESS” means a lot different than its logical meaning, to me, it is more of an “IF ONLY” meaning. If only the Once-Ler listened to him, if only he just didn’t come to the place of the truffula trees if only the Once-Ler realised his mistake. In my thought process I can almost imagine the furry little creature saying, “If only, the Once-ler didn’t come, the barbaloots would be playing in their barbaloot suits, the humming fish would be humming in their humming ponds, the swami swans flying in the high skies, and truffula trees would be standing forever by.” After all, in a scenario similar to "The Lorax" what else can you do? He tried his best, again and again, but it was just not fated to be, as such his parting
On September 14,1998, a young lady by the name of Antionette Marion Lavine, also known by her friends and family as Ante was born. She has an older sister and a twin sister. She is the youngest but she always acted as if she was the boss of them. Growing up in Ville Platte, Louisiana she was always free sprited and curious about taking risk.

She is a little
The Centennial Review: Loasis discussed the Loa Loa life span. Twenty-four hours after the chrysops first infected blood meal the Microfilaraemia (mmf) are located in the abdomen of the fly and other cells of the Chrysops. Once the cells become infected by the loa loa they burst, releasing mmf. After seven days, the Loa Loa then move to the head of the fly. The fly will then require a second blood meal where Loa Loa will escape out of the proboscis (sucking mouthpart of the chrysops) and land on the human hosts skin, some of the larvae will then travel into the human hosts skin through the “tunnel cut by the vector.” The Loa Loa then quickly travel to the host’s lymphatic system to create a widespread infection of the host. Nine days after
The first Element of Drama, human context, can be found in the characters of Dr Marquee DBM and the Chef Mark Oliver in the performance of ‘Chasing the Lollyman’. The human context was shown in the actor of Dr Marquee DBM as the situation was that he was to teach the audience about ‘finding your inner Aboriginality’. Dr Marquee DBM had a role of the teacher in the performance. You could tell this as he wore a scarf and glasses and he held a clipboard. Most teachers are recognised by these things. There was also a blackboard in the performance as this is what most classrooms provide. This means that Dr Marquee DBM wants the audience to think that he is the teacher and they are the students. It is easy to say that the actors of Mr Marquee
Throughout the second part of Passing by Nella Larsen, the reasons for each of the women passing seem to be revealed. Also, these chapters awaken many questions like “Why didn’t Clare stand up for herself?”, “Why didn’t Clare come clean?”, and “If Clare wants to rejoin the community, would she leave John?”. These questions start to arise in the beginning of part two, when John mentions that “They always come back. I’ve seen it happen time and time again.” (pg. 55). This contributes to the idea that Clare might feel regret for passing permanently for so long, and leaves the reader wondering why she didn’t come clean if she wants to rejoin the black community.

No one was supposed to perish that night. He did not wish to perform his job, but the decisions of those that expire shall always repeat. He was stuck. He moved through town, piercing through the foggy streets of town, heading as slowly as possible for the inevitable destination, just outside of town where he should wait. They would come to him, sooner or later. They always did.The calm closed around him, moving from those that chose their fate, hearing their echos seemingly drown away in the mist. He was not needed here, he would see them soon
Sociologist Loic Wacquant alleges that the state has been sponsoring and creating racism and discrimination and the latest iteration of this discrimination is the incarceration levels of African Americans. Wacquant would praise the stands that Sanders take on racial inequality in the United States; he would chastise the republicans for ignoring the issue of race but he would also disagree with Trump most predominantly because of his stand on immigration.
“‘Ain’t gonna be no more trouble. Nobody gonna hurt nobody nor steal from ‘em.’ ‘Le’s do it now. Let’s get that place now’” (106). These are the last words that filled the air between George and Lennie, their last exchange preceding a pivotal moment in both of their lives. They conversation calms and soothes Lennie, who hopes to finally get the farm that he and George dreamed about for so many years. Yet unbeknownst to him, Lennie would soon be set free from his earthly bonds by his long-time friend; a bullet, shot from the barrel of George’s gun, would enter Lennie’s head and kill him instantly. That bullet was not one of self-gain and moral disrepute, but one of freedom and liberation from worldly restraints. While this remains a hotly contested topic in classrooms reading Of Mice and Men, George’s intentions in killing Lennie were overwhelmingly good-natured.
La Loca’s existence is crucial for two major reasons. First, her resurrection in the first chapter declares the nature of the story and hints of its magical narrative. Castillo wastes no time to inform her readers that So Far From God is a work of magical realism. Second, La Loca exists to encourage Sofi to rebel against the religious institution and the political establishment. As the narrator reports, “Loca had never left home and her mother was the sole person whom she ever let get near her” (221). This is a hint that La Loca’s relationship with Sofi goes beyond a mother-daughter relationship. It is a cause-and-effect relationship, since Sofi’s rebellion is staged on three different phases—each phase begins with La Loca (the cause) and ends with Sofi (the effect).
The speaker decides to ask themselves what they brought “to the dance” (19). The question is metaphorically used to ask what the narrator gave to nature. The narrator then explains in lines 19-22 that they have a letter in their pocket from a woman they do not know, that gives bad news about something they cannot do anything about. This shows how nature is constantly asking for the narrator to offer it something back in their relationship. Yet the narrator feels as if they do not know what to give back to the universe or feels as if they owe it nothing at all. In line 23 the speaker states that they wonder the woods “half- sightless.” This implies that the narrator almost to their breaking point of finding something to give back to the relationship they have created with nature. They no longer know what to do so they continue to wonder the woods like a lost dog. The previous quote also lets the reader assume the emotional state of the narrator. The speaker is lost and feels unsure about themselves. The author uses personification when they state that “the pines make a music like no other” (25, 26). The pines are the only thing that keeps the narrator going after the speaker has given up on looking for something that will please nature. Levine’s speaker leads the reader to assume that the next day is soon to begin when they state that the pine’s music is like a “surf at night that calms the darkness before first light” (26-29). Soughing can be
The speaker meant that he still had not reached his destination and the woods were to disrupt him from fulfilling the promise to meet the beautiful one. I think the speaker must have made a promise to a beautiful lover whom he was on the way to meet.
To Lorrpu, hunting is vital as it ties him to the land. He uses natural resources to survive and only utilizes what he needs as respect to the land. Also important to him is the bond of friendship he shares with Botj and Milika. Lorrpu illustrates bravery and love when he sacrifices his life and flees with his friend Botj to Darwin despite being accepted into the Aboriginal community. He has no money and no means of transport but is determined to assist his friend.
“I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet.When far away an interrupted cry. Came over houses from another street. But not to call me back or say good-bye,” from “Acquainted With the Night” shows that the character is looking for a sign for him to look back but it was not
Although some readers might think Margaret Laurence's short story “The Loons” is about the naivety of a young girl named Vanessa who spent her days fantasizing about native american culture, it is in fact about the adversity an individual faces when presented with a lack of belonging. Laurence employs this idea through the loss and mourning of her two main characters. Through Vanessa McLeod and Piquette Tonnerres she shows how one individual’s perpetual need of belonging influences the others ulterior reality. She does this to showcase the disastrous effects of a dominant society on the prior inhabitants of the land and how it relates to a feeling loss and mourning.
