This proves itself by how Claudette took on a large dose of self-confidence and independence. At the installation of the fourth section, Claudette ignored Jeanette’s need for help and continued with what she needed to accomplish for herself to be successful at the time. Claudette’s confidence and independence shows her understanding of situations and comfort in her new life. Further along in the fourth stage, when the Debutante Ball began, Claudette had her hair swept “back into high, bouffant hairstyles” and was “wearing a white organdy dress with orange polka dots” while eating fancy hors d’œuvres (Russell 242). This display of comportement further shows her confidence and acclimation to the human culture through her ability to stand the high class situation.

How is the theme of identity showcased in the poems “Presents from my aunts in Pakistan” and “Still I rise”? (More than 800 words) Both poems - Presents from my Aunts in Pakistan by Moniza Alvi and Still I Rise by Maya Angelou demonstrate the ways in which the poets assert their identities.

Sethe, a Slave to Her Past Numerous authors in American literature produce characters whose origins are unusual, unfamiliar, and often mysterious in the work. Toni Morrison’s novel Beloved successfully introduced a character that resembles the features mentioned above. Sethe, a young black woman born into slavery escapes from extreme bondage in the Nineteenth Century in the United States with memories bounded with torture. The novel has many scenes that are very striking, most of which have to deal with the treatment of the African-Americans. Slavery has always been one of the appalling phenomena in our world.

Morrison, being a women of color tells the story of Pecola Breedlove; a black eleven year old girl who prays for deep blue eyes and flowy blonde locks.

When moving to the subject of the text’s organization, we notice that the author has excellently organized her thoughts at first and put them into consecutive paragraphs that were easy for the reader to follow, only to give up on this organization of thoughts after the tenth paragraph. In the introduction, the writer announces that she wishes to “imply” her hopes and thoughts by classifying the critics. She does so rather pleasantly in the article; however, the readers may find themselves lost in an abundance of unorganized thoughts after a few paragraphs of structured ideas. In the first five body paragraphs, Fuller divides the critics into three categories and describes the pattern of each critic’s writing in one or two paragraphs. After being done with the categorization, she starts describing the ideal critic in her own way by giving up on her chain of structured thoughts and starting to toss her ideas of a critic in an unorganized manner which is enjoyable to read but confusing when trying to find a clear and solid definition of a critic from Fuller’s perspective.

In this book Jubilee is having a horrible day, because her mom and dad went to buy Christmas decorations on Christmas Eve, so they sent her to her grandparents’ house in Florida.

With the title like “Shitty First Drafts” I knew I would like this essay and I was right. Anne Lamott makes this easy to read without leaving me with any questions.

Maya Angelou once said “I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn” and this applies to Janie when going through her marriages with Logan, Joe, and Tea Cake. In Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God, she expresses how a girl can mature through her womanhood by facing many obstacles in her life, but not allowing them to stop her but to make her better. The use of motifs help the reader grasp a better understanding of the change and progress by using items such as the pear tree, the mule, and Janie’s hair to provide a deeper understanding of the context. There was plenty of symbolic representation in the book such as the pear tree which symbolizes Janie’s life and how through each marriage she grew on to the peach tree. The idea

Since joining the NHS I have developed a great appreciation for everything going on around me. From holding the door for someone or simply greeting other in the hallways, I believe that the NHS has helped me develop a open and giving personality that has a positive impact on everyone I come into contact with. There are many things that come to mind when I think of how my character has changed, but there is a certain one that really sticks out. That example is this year when the NHS was serving cookies for Valentine’s Day and we had a bunch of leftover cookies.

The Fourth of July has always been my stepmom, Brooklyne’s, favorite so we went down to her parents house in Montrose, Colorado. Brooklyne had planned for my step cousins to come down and we would all spend a couple days at my grandparents house. Then on the fourth we would drive down to Telluride, Colorado because they always have a huge festival on the fourth and it was only an hour and thirty minutes from my grandparents house.
