A New Beginning
The dreadful crimes, the gray sky. The powerless people and the fearful creatures. All this misery and tragedy ended when someone from far, far away came into our midst. A superhero who called herself Aqua. We had people frightened from far and wide praying and calling for someone who could protect them and their families. Everyone got what they wanted, Aqua arrived in Midvale only wanting to help the people who need it. Now that we have what we’re looking for, everyone is dying to find out who this so called superhero is and who she may pretend to be to stay a secret from the world. Every daybreak at five o’clock, Evie Rose awakens from her slumber and gets straight to her morning routine, starting with a run around the neighbourhood. She scopes the area for trouble hoping to fix any dilemas that she may find with her extra normal abilities. She returns and then she flies back out in her alter ego outfit, everything Aqua or close to it. She flies around solving the world’s problems as quickly as possible, trying not to be recognised by anyone as Evie Rose in her other identity. When Aqua landed on Earth, she was placed into the foster system at the age of fifteen under a fake

After her post on the internet, she walked outside and opened her mailbox. When she did, she found an envelope that was inscribed with ink that could only come from one place, their home planet, Undra. She knew that there was only one person who would have ink from there, Ash. She opened the letter only to find an address. She speculated that the address was all that she needed to find Ash and her
Lily is thinking “how much older fourteen had made [her]. In the space of a few hours [she’d] become forty years old.” She makes this connection after she realizes that maybe her mother's death could have not been her fault and that it could have been T. Ray’s and he was punishing her for it. This caused Lily to pack “...5 pairs of shorts, tops, ... shampoo, toothpaste...” $38 and a map (41-42). By doing this, it made her feel like she had aged, feeling like a 40 year old.
So what can go wrong with a long so strong, a hold you so tight, a night so calm
Everything was going great at Oakville farm, I mean everything was normal and okay how it should be if you don’t count that the fact Donna came home late last night. She came home around two or three o’clock in the morning when it was pitch black outside, and believe me this isn’t the first time it ever happened either, maybe it’s not that big of a deal to you but to me it is, Donna here is the farmer’s daughter. While Mr. Salem is away she’s the one in charge of us,and because she’s the one in charge of us we haven't eaten in two days! Mr. Salem always made sure we were cared for, and was handled with love but , Donna on the other hand she just doesn’t care. There’s a lot of us here on the farm, we have a variety of animals here like horses,
To your average white American kid, a comic book is cheap entertainment— a leisure, a novelty. Your run of the mill issue of "Superman," perhaps the most generic superhero of all, is something to be read once, maybe even merely skimmed, while in the bathroom or the doctors' office. When finished with it gets thrown away mindlessly or tossed aside to join a mounting stack of similarly abandoned stories of fantastical heroism. However in the eyes of the young Indian boy, Sherman Alexie, as depicted in his essay, "Superman and Me," a tattered comic found in a donation bin was much more than that— it was a life line.
Edna learning to swim while at Grand Isle is significant. At first, a certain ungovernable dread hung about her when she was in the water, unless there was a hand (presumably a man’s) near by that might reach out and reassure her.19 As she gains confidence, like a “little tottering, stumbling, clutching child, who of a sudden realizes its powers”20 she swims farther out than she has before, though her husband is watching from the beach to reassure her when she admits she thought she might not make it back to land. It isn’t until after she returns to New Orleans that she becomes fully aware of herself and the hopeless situation she is in. She attempts independence, moving out of the family home and into a smaller one in a slightly worse part of town. She tries to nurture her artistic inclinations and beings an affair with a local playboy, but continues to be dissatisfied with life. Adele Ratignolle’s domestic bliss depresses her, and shortly after his return Robert quickly abandons her, supposedly with the best of intentions. Driven back to Grand Isle where her awakening began, “like some new-born creature,”21 Edna swims out to sea with no intention of returning. She admits to herself that one affair would lead to another, and she would eventually forget Robert.
Also, the empowering force of the ocean allows Edna to be a dictator of her fate. She ultimately decides to take her life and be free from other’s wants and expectations. The water was the catalyst that allowed Edna to be liberated and obtain her desires.
Her mother had died after being hit by a reckless driver. Alice, a fifteen-year old, African-American girl, was now without her natural and most influential guide on how to cope with the powerful transition from girl to lady.
“A feeling of exultation overtook her, as if some power of significant import had been given her to control the working of her body and her soul” implies the tremendous joy that encourages her to shout, as well as underscores the significance of the experience in terms of the greater awakening, for the experience actually does provide Edna with the ability to control her own body and soul for the first time. Her “daring and reckless” behavior, her overestimation of strength, and the desire to “swim far out, where no woman had swum before” all suggest the tragic conclusion that awaits Edna. Whether her awakening leads her to want too much, or her desires are not fully compatible with the society in which she lives, she goes too far in her awakening. Amazed at the ease of her new power, she specifically does not join the other groups of people in the water, but rather goes off to swim alone. Indeed, her own awakening ultimately ends up being solitary, particularly in her refusals to join in social expectations. Here, the water presents her with space and solitude, with the “unlimited in which to lose herself.
Do you ever look at the sky? When the sun makes a pink hue inof the sky and you think to yourself that nothing could go wrong. What if I told you that you could never see that great big ball of gas ever again? There is a story about a hero who saved the world. This is how it begins.
With all this on her shoulders, Edna cannot live in this situation forever, and beginning in chapter 6, she starts to have her awakening. It all starts at Edna 's first trip to the beach, where she begins to think about herself and her true feelings, creating a small spark that will soon erupt into an enormous flame. Edna 's awakening then has it 's second big development in chapter 10, once again at the beach. Edna has the sudden urge and determination to swim out as far as she can, despite perhaps not being the strongest swimmer. Even though she discovers that she can in fact swim well, she realizes she has swam out far from shore and begins to panic before heading back. This scene illustrates her growing strengh and independence. After returning back to New Orleans, Leonce reports to the local doctor, Doctor Mandelet. He says he is worried for Edna, as she is becoming distant from not only him, but many other aquaintances as well, and is showing irresponsibility regarding the housekeeping. Leonce may not know it, but this is all apart of Edna’s growing sense of independence, as well as a time of confusion for her as well. Edna eventually meets Alcee Arobin, a man who will do anything he can to get the woman he
“Straining his eyes, he saw the lean figure of General Zaroff. Then... everything went dark. Maggie woke up in her bed. “Finally woke up from that nightmare. Man… I miss my brother. Who was that person that my brother wanted to kill?” she looks at the clock and its 9:15am “Crap I’m late for work!” Maggie got in her car and drove to the hospital for work.
Superheroes are typically perceived as those who persevere through conflict by acting compassionately and courageously to save society. In reality, however, conflict reveals the adverse behaviours of individuals, including the use of selfish and violent means to protect oneself. The Wars, by Timothy Findley, shows that the worst aspects of humanity are exploited during war and are the cause of the destruction of all forms of life. First, the corruption of the pure elements highlights how individuals lose their innocence and act carelessly and viciously when faced with conflict. Second, the foil and mirror characters accentuate how it is impossible to hang onto purity, since humanity’s wicked tendencies result in a hopeless devastation for
Edna’s awakening begins when she first enters the water. The ocean surrounds her and she suddenly experiences a strange untrodden feeling: “She was like the little tottering, stumbling, clutching child, who of a sudden realizes its powers and walks for the first time alone, boldly and with over-confidence.” This is the first moment Edna opens herself up to vulnerability by bravely swimming out into the ocean. She is surprised to find that she has consummate strength and complete control over her body. The vast expanse of the sea demonstrates the openness and freedom Edna feels when she is at peace in solitude. Her awakening derives from her proposition to change herself and relations to those around her. Edna’s self cleanse sheds light on the problems she faces and she seeks to eliminate all issues that get in the way of her transformation.
