The main square of the town was almost deserted, save for a small group of humans gathered near a broken fountain. Absorbed in their own business, they didn't even notice the woman skulking around the outskirts of the square. For her part, Zaelith had little interest in either their conversation or their company. Too many women. She was determined to have her first proper fuck in almost eight years -- not waste her time on sapphic shenanigans. She looked around and the nearby buildings, trying to settle on which one offered the best chance. The smithy looked to be closed for the night. Light shone through the windows of the large manor on the other end of the square, but half a dozen guards stood around its doorway. The priestess didn't want …show more content…
She opened her mouth to get their attention, but before she had a chance to call out, one of the men noticed her and called out a greeting. "Fancy seein' you hereabouts, Missus Pollard." The one who spoke was leaning against a table, using his apron to wipe down a plate. A portly, middle-aged man with thinning hair and a majestic mustache. He might as well have had the word 'Innkeeper' floating above his head, for all the ambiguity regarding his identity. She nodded in polite acknowledgement, and a moment later he put down the plate and turned to face her. "Ye come for business? 'Fraid the Inn is full, and we aren't servin' dinner …show more content…
Zaelith nuzzled her host's face into his crotch, reveling in the thick, musky scent of his manhood. Despite his obvious reservations, the miner's cock practically leapt to life, growing thick and hard, pushing back against her cheek. She pulled back, letting it spring upright and then pinned it against his belly with her mouth, urgently dragging her moist tongue along the underside of the shaft. It twitched in response, a bead of precum leaking from the throbbing crown and onto her waiting tongue. Even dulled by the magical link, the familiar, salty taste of cum awoke a deep-rooted hunger in the Forsaken. Without sparing a thought for where -- or who -- she was, Zaelith let the bulbous cockhead slide past her lips and towards her waiting throat. When the thick shaft plugged her mouth and cut off her air, her host's mind started flailing in panic, trying desperately to pull away, but Zaelith slapped aside the urge. She even wrapped her hands around the miner's hips to hold him in place. She was drunk on lust, unwilling to reliquish her
In the beginning of the excerpt, the man, with curious humility, approaches the diner. This tells us that the man approached the diner with a peculiar humility. The man takes off his dark, stained hat and stands in front of the screen. He then says, “Could you see your way to sell us a loaf of bread, ma’am?...
Using this choice of words like “then worms shall try” and “…turn to dust”, the speaker essentially tells his mistress that there will be consequences if she does not engage with him. He believes his wit will gain control over his mistress, and her “coyness” will inevitably disappear. In his mind, the repercussions are if she dies without having sex with him, the worms will take her virginity, which can be considered as phallic imagery. In the lines, the worms symbolically mirror the narrator’s male sexual organ. Marvell creates an interesting approach with this daring and disturbing language because the appealing strategy grasps the reader’s attention and explores the question of the extent a person will go to fulfill their sexual desires. While discussing this proposed tight-lipped subject, the tone of the narrator in “To His Coy Mistress” greatly differs from the narrator’s tone in “A Rose for Emily.” The readers can perceive that Marvell’s speaker is intelligent and informed in the sexual category because of his style and word choice. He creates a relaxed tone with his audience, which makes the readers feel comfortable, and he is very clear about what he writes. The direction of the arguments he makes is very undeviating because he goes straight into what he wants
The patient was more beautiful than she realized. If only she could see it for herself. The color from her dainty face had drained to a sickened green tint and her eyes widened in fear. The walls of the clinic exam room were ordained in calming colors, but offered the young woman no comfort. She continued to blink rapidly as if she would awaken from the nightmare; her long eyelashes could not fan the health worker’s words away. She thought it was harmless, just a night of fun. It made her feel valuable and attractive. Yet being desired now left her alone, crumpling to the floor screaming between sobs and desperately reaching to the empty air around her. She couldn’t grasp any security. Not only did that harmless night of fun result in her becoming
The Catholic religion, the most common practiced religion in the world, can be seen as a common setting for the origin of the Bible that is the oldest known book to this day. The Bible tells of many great stories of old that have been somewhat forgotten; In Gabriel Garcia Marquez's ,A Chronicle of a Death Foretold, biblical allusion are used throughout the novel which compares symbolisms and imagery to the Bible and Roman Catholic religion. The main focus of interest in the novel is the murder of Santiago Nasar which can be compared to the murder and acts against Jesus Christ. Acts and imagery of other actions taking place in the novel can be referred to the Bible of the Roman Catholic religion.
Obviously, most regular people in England did not act like the butlers. The behavior of the old butlers represents stereotypes which persist today in our conception of the people of England. After all, “butlers only…exist in England'; (43). Indeed, Farraday judges the worth of Stevens, and Darlington Hall, according to stereotypical ideals of genuine Englishness. In a moment of panic, Farraday dem...
To speak of the Hebrew Scripture is to speak of story, a story stretching from the very beginning of time to only a few centuries before the beginning of the Common Era. It is to speak of richness of content, of purpose and of reality and to engross oneself in an overarching narrative that, depending on your personal convictions, continues to the present day. Within this richness is found a wide variety of different events and experience, told through a series of genre ranging from foundational myth to apocalypse, law giving to poetry, genealogy to wisdom and many more. Within this diversity however, three broad sections can be discerned that speak to a shared purpose and content, these are the sections of Law, Prophecy and Writings. It is the purpose of this talk then to examine each of these sections, identifying their commonality and differences and exploring why they exists as discernable sections. To achieve this, we will be led through a brief survey of each section, delving into the content and purpose of each with reference to the others. In addition to this we will also explore the three genres of foundational myth, type scene and wisdom that are found in these sections, discussing their features and how they have been used in specific circumstances as a part of the greater biblical narrative.
She then moves on to be a gracious host to all of these men, again showing success in her womanly duties. Later that night one of the visitors, Sextus Tarquinis, comes into her room, and forces himself upon her, telling her that if she does not comply he will make it look like she had an affair with one of the servants (Livy, 101). She yields to him because she does not want it to seem as if she had an affair and is not able to explain what occurred.... ... middle of paper ...
Every Christians today knows the story of Jesus birth. The story of how Mary and Joseph travel to Bethlehem for a censes declared by the Roman Empire. While not being able to find an inn to stay in and Mary getting ready to give birth, they stow away in the cave where the animals were kept. While there Mary gave birth to a son and called him Jesus. While Jesus was in a manger a heavenly host of angles came down and also Shepard’s from the field came and rejoiced the savior was born. This is where the typical nativity scene comes from. Unless you have a Doctorate and teach a History of the New testament class and go into fine detail about the story, then story this is what people hear. Well this is for History of the New Testament so the fine details are what we are looking for. Most people do not realize that the story they tell every Christmas is actually a combination of two stories. The birth story is told in the Gospels of Luke and the Gospels of Mathew but each tell a very different version of what actually happened and that is what leads to people questioning the accuracy of the bible today.
"They turn casually to look at you, distracted, and get a mild distracted surprise, you're gone. Their blank look tells you that the girl they were fucking is not there anymore. You seem to have disappeared.(pg.263)" In Minot's story Lust you are play by play given the sequential events of a fifteen year old girls sex life. As portrayed by her thoughts after sex in this passage the girl is overly casual about the act of sex and years ahead of her time in her awareness of her actions. Minot's unique way of revealing to the reader the wild excursions done by this young promiscuous adolescent proves that she devalues the sacred act of sex. Furthermore, the manner in which the author illustrates to the reader these acts symbolizes the likeness of a list. Whether it's a list of things to do on the weekend or perhaps items of groceries which need to be picked up, her lust for each one of the boys in the story is about as well thought out and meaningful as each item which has carelessly and spontaneously been thrown on to a sheet of paper as is done in making a list. This symbolistic writing style is used to show how meaningless these relationships were but the deeper meaning of why she acted the way she did is revealed throughout the story. Minot cleverly displayed these catalysts in between the listings of her relationships.
The book of Zephaniah contains messages of divine judgment against Judah and Jerusalem, as well as against other nations. It addresses a rare concentration of references to central issues in the history of ancient Israel. Idolatry, violence, and deception abound in Judah when Zephaniah began prophesying. Zephaniah's prophesying made it clear that Yahweh would execute vengeance upon unrepentant wrongdoers. His adverse judgments would be visited not only upon Judah and Jerusalem, but also upon other peoples: the Philistines, Ammonites, Moabites, Ethiopians, and Assyrians. Significantly, Zephaniah, the prophet, never stands at the center of the book of Zephaniah; the word of Yahweh is at the center of the book. Zephaniah is mentioned only insofar as he is necessary for the interpretation of the text.
The young and old waiter are having a conversation and the old one states, “We are of two different kinds. It is not only a question of youth and confidence although those things are very beautiful. Each night I am reluctant to close up because there may be someone who needs the cafe.” (Hemingway). Considering the fact that he said, “someone who needs the cafe,” it implies that he might know the “someone” and he’s getting the store prepared for her to come over. In reality, he could possibly just be making it look marvelous because maybe a homeless person needs to get there or something like that. Who knows what tricks old people tend to have up their
In conclusion, Charles Dickens, a social critic of humble origins himself, has conveyed his conception of a true gentleman, which is such a good conception that it is commonly used in our society today. He shows that you can only be a true gentleman at heart and if you are not it will be revealed. Matthew Pocket’s metaphor that ‘No varnish can hide the grain of the wood; and that the more varnish you put on, the more the grain will express itself’ very successfully delivers and summarises Dickens’ message, that no matter how much you try to, your true identity will always be revealed. It also effectively reinforces Dickens’ treatment of the Victorian preconception of a gentleman as misconstrued and mistakenly engrossed with social status, wealth, birth, and apparel.
Told her that, for this reason, I always wore black” (Lister 184). Although Lister consistently presents herself as confident in her appearance, both when interacting with others and in her diaries, this interaction points to discomfort with her non-normative presentation. Confrontational interactions on a routine basis most likely had and inevitable impact on her self-perception — Lister frequently became the target of verbal and physical harassment, predominately from men, when she simply ran errands or walked through town. In one instance Lister recorded “The people generally remark, as I pass along, how much I am like a man. I think they did it more than usual this evening. At the top of Cunnery Lane, as I went, three men said, as usual, ‘That’s a man’ & one axed ‘Does your cock stand?’” (61). Immediately after relaying this incident, the succeeding line states in plain hand “I know not how, but I feel low this evening” (61). In the face of verbal harassment, Lister is visibly negatively impacted, but the true extent of its effect on her is only understood by an audience able to read both plain and crypt hand. Due to this diary entry’s inherent expectation of privacy, it’s assumed that no one aside from Lister herself would have access to the text, but nonetheless,
As Janie sits under a pear tree, she witnesses “a dust-bearing bee sink into the sanctum of a bloom” (Hurston, 11). Already, the imagery and language is very sexual, the bee holding what the blossom needs to create life a clear symbol for the male and female. The bee “sinks” into the “sanctum” of the bloom just as a penis would penetrate a vagina. The reproductive imagry continues as “the thousand sister-calyxes arch to meet the love embrace and the ecstatic shiver of the tree from root to tiniest branch creaming in every blossom and frothing with delight” (11). Now it becomes clear that the blossoms are female because of the word “sister”. These female flowers are eager to be with the bee, resulting in ecstasy. “Frothing” and “creaming” bring to mind thoughts of ejaculation, signaling the completion of intercourse. The sexual energy remains with Janie moments after witnessing the bee and blossom, “Janie felt a pain remorseless sweet that left her limp and languid” (11). Her physical state is one comparable to a woman after a fulfilling sexual experience, showing Janie that a relationship should not only be emotionally satisfying but physically too. Her body feels as if it was the one who shivered in delight, not the tree, creating a physical connection between nature and the female
He encourages her to give in to his demand by making the act seem trivial, insignificant and nothing to be ashamed of. He implies that if their blood can be shared by a flea, why not they share it with each other. A sense of humour is evident as he ridicules the mindsets of sex before marriage being a sin.
