THE ZEPHYR HEART A wise man named Manuel Bandeira once said- ‘”Be like the floating river Silent in the night Be not afraid of the dark If there are clouds in the sky Reflect them back. Remember clouds like river, are water, So gladly reflect them into your Own tranquil Depths”. Thought Delilah Kapoor as she straightened her posture and wiped her tears trickling down on her cheeks from her swollen and red rimmed eyes. Yes. She was sad .Every time she felt so, she ran weeping towards the river and sat down on her favourite bench by the river. After all it was more than her home. Delilah shared her rues with the river, the moon and even the derelict stones. These were the sole three things that she loved about the night.” This too would pass”, …show more content…

The night was quiet except for the crickets and the flowing river singing a monotonously plaintive tune and rippling and meandering like a huge Prussian blue cobra .The river was literally a pariah like her. She closed her eyes and felt as if she was in paradise. Delilah was a beautiful being. Perhaps the finest the human race has ever seen.Even when she cried she was beautiful too.It was beautiful to witness her slightly reddened and flushed cheeks, ears and eyes. Delilah’s world was not perfect.SHE WAS NOT LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE. she was special.She waswhat a medical person would call autistic .She looked normal like any other 18 year old.

  • Comparing Cask Of Amontillado And The Tell-Tale Heart

    168 Words  | 1 Pages

    Poe’s stories “Cask of Amontillado” and “The Tell-Tale Heart” display the dark romantic theme of a man’s soul by the development of the setting, plot, and characterization. As both stories begin, the initial device used to advance the theme is setting, which remains grim and sinister throughout the duration of both stories. Accompanying these physical details is the plot, each of which includes the murder of an innocent man. Most notably, the characterization of each piece’s narrator allows the audience to fully understand their internal struggle and its final resolution. While “Cask of Amontillado” contains an overall intriguing and unexpected plot as well as setting, the narrator’s characterization proves this story to conclude in a less

  • Holden Caulfield In Catcher In The Rye By J. D. Salinger

    251 Words  | 2 Pages

    The character of Holden Caulfield in J.D. Salinger 's novel, Catcher in the Rye, is an excellent example of a psychologically sensitive portrayal of a child with autism spectrum disorder. Although, Holden is never diagnosed in the novel, his interactions with peers and his particular interests show that he is a young man struggling with this psychological disorder. I find this most interesting because the novel allows the reader to enter the mind of Holden to connect and sympathize with the young man and gain a new perspective to his unique disorder. Similarly, the scientific article written by, Jiri Koutek, discusses the social isolation of a sixteen year old male with high functioning autism who was hospitalized for a suicide attempt. The
