“You have to worry about yourself Eleanor. You are the most beautiful girl in this place, leave the past to the past,” Tangerine paused, “Look at that young man, whenever I see him I feel I am having a fever. His name is Ken, and if I loved someone in my short life it would be only him.” “He is appealing, what are you waiting for? Go talk to him,” Eleanor said. “No, no, I won 't do this. What my mother will say if she knows, I shall have other worries than him. After my father and brothers died in the war, we are spending the nights thinking of how we will live the other day,” Tangerine said “You will just live like how you lived today.” “My life is different from yours now. You still have your father and your brother. …show more content…

Lord Swann and Liam had a short conversation about the production of the wheelers. “How is the progress of the work, are you going to hand me over my ten wheelers before the sunset?” Lord Swann asked. “My lord, I wish I had them ready now. It won 't be ready by the sunset and it won 't be ten wheelers.” “Why Liam? I granted you the right to use all the wood we have and to labor as many as you need of men,” Lord Swann …show more content…

Before the sunrise you will have eight wheelers ready for the use.” “That 's fine, your work is appreciated by the council and it will be rewarded generously.” “I am your humble servant, my lord,” Liam said. After Lord Swann leaving the work site, Liam said, “We have to work harder my son, I gave my word to Lord Swann, we have to hand over him eight wheelers before the sunrise.” “You will do, father. We are doing fine, so far,” Ken said. “Father, do you know what is in those boxes and barrels? The guards are not leaving that spot since we arrived,” Ken questioned curiously “You are lucky I am your father, because I scent my nose in everything. The boxes have gold, and the barrels have arms.” “What will they do with the gold? There are no Kingdoms around us to trade it with them, are we going to use the coins again.” “Sure my son, or how people will do. I never believe in it, but it makes the life easier.” “I saw some people throwing the coins in to the sea and making wishes, poor people!” Ken

  • Yvonne Allen's Narrative

    237 Words  | 1 Pages

    Yvonne Allen does not have any right to wear her headscarf in her licence photo due to the security issues it would create. She believes that her rights are being infringed upon, but doesn't realize that a licence is a privilege not a right. It is hard to argue this fact when it says literally nowhere in any law or precedent that any U.S. citizen has any right to a licence. Allen only uses two defenses one of which is how her faith is tested “in a way that was humiliating and demeaning”(8), a judge will never consider this as a good defense on why she should get her licence, because it is based on emotions not law. Her other defense was how Muslim women were allowed to wear their own headscarves in their driver's license photos, but this seems

    For example, in Line 8, the chief emphasized how dependent the settlers are towards the tribe, and what would happen if the tribe shows the same hostility the British show them (“We can hide our provisions and fly into the woods. And then you must consequently famish by wrongdoing your friends”). The use of ‘friends’ in the line ‘fly into the woods’ is noteworthy, due to how it emphasizes how (1) the tribe’s congenial actions and aid should be enough to be considered as friends and emphasizes their hospitality and encourage; and how (2) the tribe can take away their help just as easily as they went and helped them. In addition, the word ‘fly’ in ‘fly into the woods’ not only demonstrates movement, but the word is ironic in the sense of how the the word implies an oppressed connotation, not a freed connotation as it is usually used for. In addition to this line, Lines 18-19 (“Captain Smith, this might soon be your fate too through your rashness and unadvisedness.”).

  • The Dialogue In Hemingway's Hills Like White Elephants

    The dialogue in Hemingway’s “Hills Like White Elephants” reveals a man’s and a woman’s incongruent conflict on abortion, and the author’s fundamentally feminist position is visible in the portrayal of the woman’s independent choice of whether or not to keep the baby she is carrying. The plot is very simple in the story which is less than 1500 words long. A woman and a man spend less than an hour on a hot summers day at a Spanish train station in the valley of Ebro as they are waiting for a train heading for Madrid. Their dialogue takes up most of the space and only few major actions take place.
