Summer Won’t Last Forever In “Summer of the Ladybirds” by Vivian Smith, the poet uses assonance, figurative language, and alliteration to convey that humans hold on to what is not permanent. First, assonance is used when the poet describes the ladybirds as “creatures from the world of leaf and flower.” The usage of the “ea” sounds emphasizes and draws attention to the ladybirds being from a different world from humans, one of “leaf and flower.” The main point that this phrasing gives prominence

experiences of a young adult trying in order to find her way through life while dealing with confusion of her identity. And this is what the main character Ladybird is going through when she discerns that she wants to go to prom with her best friend Julie, rather than ditch prom and hang out with a boy and his ‘cool kid’ friends. Throughout this event, Ladybird sticks up for herself for the first time. This action of finally not always trying to fit in had triggered her to think about her actions more and

Chapter 2 Ladybirds’ Cinderella (Fig. 6) from 1944 was an exception in publishing during this period. It is this very book that helped Ladybird move from the war era into the modern commercial era.

As labour and materials was still scarce, the company had

I was around four when I discovered the magic of books. I can’t clearly remember which shop I was in, all I do remember was my daddy took me to a supermarket where I saw a bunch of coloring books and pleaded like all children if I could have nearly all the books in the shop, but my dad refused to get any of them for me.

We’ve all had the same question: why does that ladybug smell so bad?? Have you ever noticed how, when you smash a ladybug or even get near it, that red and black spotted creature begins to give off a smell of something gross? That’s because of the chemicals inside it, that make that scent. It’s a nutlike, green bell pepper, potato, and moldy odor. YUCK! One scientist (Lingshuang Cai) wanted to know a little more about what goes on to make that smell. “Lingshuang began the project by placing ladybugs

the longer I keep you here, the greater hope there is for my Ladybird.” (Miss Pross 352) Dickens used Miss Pross’s strong love for Lucy as one of his main themes in the novel: love always triumphs against hate.

Whenever you drive down a highway and see a patch of wildflowers, there’s one woman you may want to thank: Lady Bird Johnson.
