Ayla spun and twirled around the lovely antique furniture in her new house while sprightly music beats pulsated from the stereo system. Then suddenly, THUNK! The miniscule antique bookshelf jabbed her hip, which slammed onto the floor, vertically snapping in two like a twig. Books flew onto the floor as she clutched her bruise, her face scrunched up in agony. Two minutes and a bag of ice later, she cautiously approached the newly demolished bookshelf. Wrecking a piece of furniture within not even five hours of living here, that’s a brand new record! She solemnly thought as she propped up both halves of the bookshelf. The previous owners of the house generously relinquished their pieces of antique furniture, which included the bookshelf. …show more content…
You're going to hit your head from jumping to conclusions! You already hurt your hip today! Do not, I repeat, DO NOT give yourself a headache too! It would be amazing to find Indigo and give him his long lost letter. Maybe he accidentally misplaced it and it somehow ended up under the bookshelf. But there is no guarantee she will find him. Considering the letter is over sixty years old there may not be a simple way to discover if he is still alive. Ayla met the family who lived in her new house before her-nobody named Indigo, however. Multiple families resided in her old house at 16 Sapphire Street before her. She viewed the records of both her new house and old house online. She discovered Aurora moved out of 16 Sapphire Street in 1956 and Indigo’s house was sold in 1954. A smile started taking shape on her face, feeling confident about possibly finding answers. She googled Indigo and found results. Not good results, unfortunately. The first three results consisted of websites dedicated in Indigo’s memory and the first website was a link to a 1954 newspaper obituary. She clicked on it, her thoughts …show more content…
Thank you so much for finding that letter! As opposed to mailing it to me, would you mind coming over someday, anytime from 10 AM to 10 pm? It can be any day, just let me know in advance. I’d like to meet and thank you in person. You went out of your way to find me just to give me that letter, you’re quite deserving of my kindness and famous chocolate chip cookies! If you can’t come over then just mail it to me. I look forward to reading it and possibly meeting you! Ayla messaged her back and rearranged to meet with her the next day. Aurora responded and highly insisted Ayla to bring her appetite! That following day Ayla pulled into Aurora’s driveway. Aurora’s yard which consisted of manicured grass and indigo flowers. Her house sported indigo too. Ayla wondered if this was a mere coincidence or if her flowers and house were indigo due to Indigo. Chimes blew in the wind as Ayla rang the doorbell. She heard a dog’s loud bark and kids’ screaming giggles. Within seconds a middle-aged woman who somewhat resembled Aurora answered the door. “Hello there!” She grinned, extending her hand out to Ayla. She had Aurora’s smile and eyes. “You must be Ayla! I’m Aurora’s niece Brandy. She’s looked forward to seeing you all day. Please, make yourself at
I searched until I heard a story that gave me the chills. It comes from right around the block from where I live on campus, at one of the sorority houses at the University of Maryland. I collected this story the weekend of April 2nd, at my fraternity house. I asked my friend, a junior from Pikesville, if she knows any ghost stories. Her face lit up as if she was dying to tell me this story since the first time we ever met. She asked “you never heard the story of the ghost in the sorority house?” I replied no. The normally quiet woman demanded my attention away from the TV and went into her story.
The play takes place in Helmer's house, considering his position as an attorney, and then as the bank manager, most likely a nice home furnished modestly.
"Hey Ariel! What can I get you today?" "Oh just my usual please, Annabelle." Ariel said smiling. Annabelle was a girl, probably a few years younger older than Ariel and I.
The Haunting of Hill House written by Shirley Jackson, and Tony Burgess’ People Live Still in Cashtown Corners, are horror novels. Both evoke fear in readers in dissimilar ways. The Haunting of Hill House takes readers on an ominous journey that creates feelings of uneasiness, while Burgess’ novel has a direct approach to create fear, right from a rampant killer’s point of view. Despite the differing approaches on the classic genre, Jackson and Burgess demonstrate that horror stems from isolation. Isolation negatively affects mental health, which produces petrifying chaos and destruction of oneself and others.
She replied, “Okay, and remember you always have my number.” She grew infatuated with him. She would draw him in her notebook. She would replace his name into love songs. She would fantasize all the time about them going out on dates, kissing, and then some more.

To the Editor of the National Review: Last night, Henrik Ibsen’s three-act play "A Doll’s House", one of the Norwegian playwright's most characteristic works, was presented to the British public at the Novelty Theatre in London. I am writing this letter to provide my view regarding the play, which I saw during its debut in our country. I will not be talking about the performance itself but about the nature of the play. I am negatively shocked by the artificial, unrealistic and radical attitude that Ibsen has displayed to us with “A Doll’s House”.
Nora in A DOLL’s HOUSE by Henrik Ibsen made the correct decision at the end of the play by leaving her husband and children. Even though, both decision have potential negative impacts; Nora picked the better of the two choices because she is able to freely think and express herself and also reach a state of eudiamonia. First of all, Nora has no individuality in her “doll’s house”; by leaving she is finally liberated and has the chance to make her own decisions. Nora before leaving tells Torvald that “I have existed merely to perform tricks for you… You and papa have committed a great sin against me. It is your fault that I have made nothing of my life” (Ibsen 74).
Female roles established by society essentially restrict a woman’s independence. A Doll House, a play published in December 4, 1879 by Henrik Ibsen, challenged Victorian values and expectations in Norway and provided a new, realistic perspective of humanity. In A Doll House, Ibsen depicts the realistic nature of family life, which the romantic Victorian values overshadows, in Norway during the late 1800s. Ibsen comments on the controlling power of males and the submissive roles of females in the Norwegian society; as a result, women often sacrifice their own independence. A Doll House pioneered realism in theater and, most importantly, in the Norwegian society; thus, the play’s controversial themes sparked ideas of humanism.
Whether homemaker or Homewrecker, women are always associated with domestic matters. This concept holds particularly true in the Victorian era when women had to adhered to the high standard of both keeping their home and husband impeccable. The concept of what a woman should be during this time oscillated due to Queen Victoria’s power, as well as the increase in unmarried women. The consensus of the population that had a say in these debates, meaning men, decided women were for domestic matter, and a woman's role was to tend to her hearth, primarily her husband. The play A Doll’s House By Henrik Ibsen is in Europe during the Victorian era, and follows the character Nora’s struggles with an illegal loan she took out to save her husband, Torvald’s,
CRASH! A petite girl is pushed into a locker with such brutal force that her tattered, pink backpack is thrown onto the tile floor. Her worn, holy shirt somewhat resembles one of the manakin in the clothing department at Walmart, which the other kids noted. Meanwhile, her pants, now soaked from fear and embarrassment, suffered from dark brown stains that matched the randomly placed holes. Her garments opposed the older, prettier girl’s brand new wardrobe.
If drama is tension, then Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House must be an all-out war, with Ibsen taking on the role of a Realistic Period Patton. The play, first published in 1879, tells the story of Nora, a middle-aged house wife living in a society in which she has no rights or voice. However, with disregard to societal norms and the law, Nora forges her father’s signature to borrow money so that she and her family may go on a vacation that is responsible for saving her husband’s life. With Nora’s action unbeknownst to him, Nora’s husband, Torvald, fires the man from whom Nora loaned the money. Ibsen foreshadows, introduces, and resolves the conflict flowingly, leaving the reader in suspense throughout the entire play.
