1885 Words8 Pages

House of Dolls I felt terrified, confused, distressed, but most of all, betrayed. Why might you ask? Well, just let me tell you. I was crouching behind a colossal oak tree, scared out of my mind. It was as if my spine was made out of ice and that it could shatter at any given moment. I started to wonder if there were any indicators that could’ve lead to the conclusion that my date was a vicious psycho murderer. During the midst of that thought I heard the muffled whistle of an arrow flying through the zephyr around me. There was a faint crunch of the twigs near me as it landed only a few inches away from me. I quickly arose and began to sprint into the bellowing forest. After running for what felt like hours I concealed myself behind a shrivelled shrub. Soon after I heard the sudden footsteps of an approaching danger, I froze. Being as quiet as I could, I even held my breath. With a gasp of air, he grew closer. The noises of the soft footsteps were intensifying until there before me, the boots of an unknown assailant; thankfully it wasn’t the murderer. He stared down at me with his deep, dark, brown eyes. It felt like he was piercing through my soul. He called me by a strange name, Echo, I responded with “Echo, Why did you call me Echo?” He just replied “Do you trust me” …show more content…

Searching the kitchen and not finding the first aid kit I head to the closet to try and find it there. On first sight i find the first aid kit. I quickly run outside to Boyd, cutting the arrow head out of his back with the knife then I bandage up Boyd's wound. I helped Boyd to his feet so we could leave, as I knew the psycho hunting me would be coming to the ranger's shack anytime now. I ran into the kitchen and grabbed the walkie-talkie.

    His muscles under my bare legs tensed and flexed as he ran to the woods over the ocean of grass. I remember the blinding sunlight, the smell of the morning, and the sound of my broken mother as I clung to his long mane. The wind blew the tears from my eyes as we raced towards the woods. I never heard the gunshot, I just remember it like a punch in my shoulder blade, with the nasty sting following. When the bullet tore in to my back, all the pain from that day suddenly welled up from the depths of my stomach and surged in my throat and I let out a primitive howl of my

    Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen was highly criticized for undeniably demonstrating woman’s issues in the 19th century. While the play doesn’t change setting much at all, Ibsen clearly focuses in on the characterization of three insightful characters: Mrs. Linde, Nora, and Helmer. Mrs. Linde is a minor character; however, that doesn’t alter her effect on the play. She provides the mold for the perfect, idealized wife. Nora, the main character, develops rapidly in the play, and her character is a stark contrast to Mrs. Linde.

  • A Doll's House Character Analysis

    1384 Words  | 6 Pages

    Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House is a play set in 19th century Norway, when women’s rights were restricted and social appearance was more important than equality and true identity. In A Doll’s House, Nora represents 19th century women entrapped by society to fulfill wifely and motherly obligations, unable to articulate or express their own feelings and desires. Ibsen uses Nora’s characterization, developed through her interactions with others as well as her personal deliberations and independent actions, language and structure in order to portray Nora’s movement from dependence to independence, gaining sovereignty from the control of her selfish husband, deceitful marriage and the strict social guidelines of morality in 19th century Norway. Initially, Nora appears to be a dependent, naïve, and childlike character; yet, as the play unfolds, she appears to be a strong, independent woman who is willing to make sacrifices for those she cares about as well as herself.

Totally, the feeling I got when our car pulled up in front of that blue and white house on Berry Gordy (Grand) Boulevard in Detroit, Michigan, last Spring. From the parking lot I could see the line was extremely long, but I really didn’t care because my only thought was getting to that front door. While waiting in line some of the people waiting along with us started what I would describe as a mini concert out on the sidewalk singing The Marvelettes “Mr. Postman” and attempting the dance moves that made them famous it was amazing! Their singing and dancing made me more excited about touring the museum.
