Small Joys and Beauty of Nature
God has blessed us with one of the most precious gifts which is the nature and its beauty. It is the constantly blowing fresh air which keeps us alive each day. It is blue sky, the birds flying over it and the green carpet of grasses under it which honors us with the beauty and joys of nature and keeps us alive each and every moment. Frances Hodgson Burnett wrote a story “The Secret Garden” to convey this message that it’s nothing but the small joys of nature that changes people life. These changes are displayed by the life of the two main characters, Mary and Colin. The story has a clear flow of ideas involving the narrators point of view as well.It …show more content…

Again the credit has been given to the nature that how it changed his life.The nature taught him that if there is one reason for him to be sad and disappointed from life then nature gives him many more reasons to be happy and strong enough to face these difficulties.

How it is more than a place or land, but rather “a culture based on relationships among people for whom a number of places and associations may provide common ground”(5). The Deaf World is huge and all encompassing. There isn’t one place that the Deaf migrate but rather there all over the World.

This was a tad confusing to read at first, as there were times that the point of view changes mid chapter.

    Since The Road is more about the Boy’s journey than his father’s, the supreme ordeal at the end of the novel is the death of the Man. The death of the Man, who acted as the Boy’s mentor during the many challenges faced by the duo, represents the largest and most devastating challenge faced by the Boy. Not only is this due to the fact that the Boy feels unprepared to continue on without his father, but it is also because the “reward” and “road back” are not immediately apparent to the Boy. Compared to even the most challenging obstacles the Boy faced in the past, the death of his father leaves him both physically and mentally pained and exhausted. However, relief from his situation arrives promptly in the form of the stranger who claims to be a “good guy,” though the Boy’s future remains forever uncertain.
