CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX Slipping Back through the Glass I sat in my room on the floor, waiting for Emma. In my lap was my sword and a handful of crumpled flower petals that I must have grabbed from somewhere along the way. I lay there for a while, listening with all my might for the sound of footsteps downstairs. Emma finally popped through from the other side, holding her large stack of books. Looking dazed and a little disorientated. She laughed. "Oh wow that was fun. I also forgot I had these in my hands," she said, setting the books down on a table. "We made it back. And hey, the place is still standing." She reached down and gave me a hand up while pursing her lips. "It's so quiet you could probably hear a pin drop." "I know, but what's …show more content…
"Yes, that's exactly what I thought. So I'm having the exterminators in this afternoon," she said when the doorbell rang. "I'll get it, Mom." "It's probably the doggy sitter for Rex. I can't leave him inside while they're fumigating the house." I nodded and set off down the hall to let Mia the neighborhood dog walker in. Rex ran over to her. She snapped on a leash and waved goodbye. "So, you two are off to school?" "Yeah, we better go or we'll be late," Emma said. "Thanks for breakfast, Mrs. Green." "Anytime, dear." "Well , bye Mom," I said, pushing my chair in. She hugged me tightly. "See you later." "Have a good day, son," Dad shouted from inside the garage. Emma was already in the middle of my lawn by the time I set foot outside. "I'm going to run home and change my clothes," she yelled. "I'll meet you at the bus stop!" "Okay!" I shouted back as I strolled past the blooming apple trees, catching a whiff of their sweet-smelling flowers. Emma met me about halfway down the street. "Everything okay at your house?" "Yeah, they didn't even know I was gone." I smiled down at her. "I don't know about you, but I think I've had enough excitement for a while," she said as we walked through the door of the yellow school
“This ones going to kill my story. It was so happy and magical.” Elizabeth fluttered to the front of the room.
Question: How did the laws and policies leading up to the night of the broken impact the Holocaust and German people including the German Jews?
Have you ever felt trapped within the confines of your own home, or as if your life is going nowhere? In Tennessee Williams, The Glass Menagerie, this is Tom and Laura’s exact situation. Tom feels as if he is trapped in his own home while Laura’s life seems to be heading nowhere. In this play Tom is felt the most sympathy for due to his complicated predicament of not being able to leave his house, while Laura has the least amount of sympathy felt only because she seems to be doing nothing progressive to help move her life forward.
Have you ever wondered what was the real cause of the Holocaust or how was the Holocaust brought about? Well have you ever heard about the “Night of the Broken Glass” or what is called the “Kristallnacht”? The Holocaust started with the laws leading up to the Night of the Broken Glass; the lack of German reaction or outrage and the lack of response from the world to these efforts to discriminate and persecute the Jews allowed the Nazis to eventually proceed to the final solution.
“Yes” she said sarcastically. We greeted all of the other girls and started to jog around the gym to warm-up. I was in one of those moods where I didn’t want to talk because it was too early in the morning.
“Thank you Mrs. Farrow, it means a lot to us.” Elizabeth cut her off, her smile fading slightly before she forced it to come back. “Please walk home safely, and if you feel a sudden urge to come back and grace us with your presence again please do so.” Mrs. Farrow nodded at her words and then turned silently and made her way down the path. She passed through Angela who barely noticed, all of her attention was on her mother.
Look,” Mother interjected, “you have hardly touched your meal. So, sit quietly and finish your supper.”
Karrie :oh well good luck with that!bye! *she carries out the “e”while closing the door
“It was a large, beautiful room, rich and picturesque in the soft, dim light which the maid had turned low. She went and stood at an open window and looked out upon the deep tangle of the garden below. All the mystery and witchery of the night seemed to have gathered there amid the perfumes and the dusky and tortuous outlines of flowers and foliage. She was seeking herself and finding herself in just such sweet half-darkness which met her moods. But the voices were not soothing that came to her from the darkness and the sky above and the stars. They jeered and sounded mourning notes without promise, devoid even of hope. She turned back into the room and began to walk to and fro, down its whole length, without stopping, without resting. She carried in her hands a thin handkerchief, which she tore into ribbons, rolled into a ball, and flung from her. Once she stopped, and taking off her wedding ring, flung it upon the carpet. When she saw it lying there she stamped her heel upon it, striving to crush it. But her small boot heel did not make an indenture, not a mark upon the glittering circlet.
The Holocaust was the genocide in which Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany and its collaborators killed about six million Jews. Hitler believed that gypsies, the Jews, and the sick were a menace to Germany. On April 30, 1945 Hitler committed suicide after his plan had failed. The Holocaust occurred when Hitler killed about six million Jews due to his beliefs. Hitler managed to get an entire country to blindly follow him, helping him persecute millions.
I rose and followed her to the door..and guided myself by them (the doctors), as by a magical thread, I stepped into the room. (pg.199)
In a Glass Darkly by Sheridan le Fanu and Kwaidan by Lafcadio Hearn both reflect the culture and time period in which they were written, Victorian England and feudal Japan, respectively. The books emphasize how the supernatural is intertwined with the real world, but In a Glass Darkly uses this method to make the stories of the supernatural seem ambiguous, and Kwaidan accepts and propagates the role of the supernatural in the real world without casting doubt.
“Oh then i guess it is alright.” She smirked. She re-entered the home once again, this time she didn't scream. Once again the house grew and she looked like a little kid who had just seen a whole mountain of candy.
b. What could be done differently? Shattered Glass and the story of Stephen Glass, although fascinating and disturbing brings up a valid point. Stephen glass is violated the fundamental rules of journalism. Which is consist conflicts of interest, accuracy, objectivity, fairness and sensationalism.
In Tennessee Williams's play The Glass Menagerie, we are introduced to a young lady named Laura. Being shy, to an extreme, Laura lives in a world of her own making. It is a socially limited world where she is safe from all life's painful embarrassments. Laura has wrapped herself in a blanket of protection within the walls of her family's lower middle-class apartment. There in her protected fortress she cares for her collection of glass animals, a collection her mother calls the glass menagerie. There is a consistent parallel between Laura and her collection. Laura's glass collection is a physical extension of herself, representing her lifeless existence and the absolute fragility within her. The glass unicorn specifically represents Laura's uniqueness, purity, and innocence.
