The Support Of Family The human species is one of an adaptive species. Through constant trials, we as a people have adapted to the environment around us and triumphed over them. This adaptation is apparent in Elizabeth Acevedo’s novel, Clap When You Land. Yahaira, along with Camino and Mami, were resentful of each other at the start of the story. However, with the progression of the story, they learn to adapt and change their feelings for one another. Through their story we can learn that it is better to grow, leave home, and return, with each experience of Yahaira, Mami, and Camino proving this. It is better to grow, leave home, and return, which can be shown through the experiences of Yahaira. Yahaira loved Papi, and the discovery of his other daughter made her grow to hate the other family, as stated when Yahaira professes “I want to hate a dead woman, and her daughter who most likely hates me for making my father leave her in the first place.”(Acevedo 243). …show more content…
She grows to love her half-sister Camino and feels guilty for all the hate she held for Camino’s family, as Yahaira proclaims, “And then guilt washes over me. I am the one he left her for.” (Acevedo 325). In conclusion, Yahaira's journey from hating Camino to eventually loving and feeling guilty towards her, illustrates the importance of personal growth and leaving one's comfort zone. Through her experiences, it becomes evident that returning home after self-discovery can lead to a deeper understanding and appreciation of one's roots. Camino's experiences demonstrate the benefits of growing, leaving home, and eventually returning, as she learns and evolves through her journey. Like Yahaira, Camino also hated Yahaira after learning about her, as stated when Camino affirms “I think I hate this new

childhood as a “land of lost content” meaning that when you are a child you are innocent and you don’t have a care in the world.

sort of dry land activity. Some teams even include yoga and Pilates for added flexibility. Having a social life beyond seeing the people on your swim team is near impossible. With school work, high physical demands at practice, having to eat almost every three hours, and trying to maintain a normal life, the weeks are exhausting. It is no wonder why the NCAA has set a maximum number of hours to train each week in regards to college swimming. All of these factors play into the hopes that when a swimmer
the English criminal courts, and while the majority were cases of assault with sodomitical intent, there were a few cases of sodomy. The individuals convicted of sodomy were sentenced to be hanged at Tyburn. Just as there were laws against sodomy on land so were there on the sea. Specifically Article 29 of the 1749 Articles of War which stated: If any person in the fleet shall commit the unnatural and detestable sin of buggery, of sodomy with man or beast, he shall be punished with death by the sentence
Death of a Salesman - A Modern Day Tragedy The question which arises within Death of a Salesman is, 'Is this a modern Tragedy?' A tragic play can be commonly observed when a protagonist falls from a great height. His decline is not about immediate death, although in most cases death becomes apparent at the end of the play, e.g. Macbeth. A tragedy shows the suffering of a character and utter compulsion of him if he does not succeed to reach his dream. These plays show the blissful release
richest man in the village, (Applebee et al. 172), which tells us that most of his land and property was probably inherited from his father. He was a very wealthy landowner, but he was not very liked by other citizens of the Salem. From a quote “Your grandfather had a habit of willing land that never belonged to him” (John Proctor, Applebee et al. 182), we can say that part of his land was inherited unjustly, so he owned land that did not belong to him which made lot of people feel indignant. That was
Shintoism has been dated back to 500BC, when the descendants of the sun goddess, Amaterasu-OmiKami, worshiped the gods and goddesses of Japan. Shinto means "way of the gods" and that represents what people who practice Shintoism believe in. Shintoism is a religion based on Japanese mythology, which is centered on a male god, Izanagi, and a female goddess, Izanami. These two gods were believed to have created Japan, which was thought to be the only land in the whole word. The two gods had two children
Ever wondered what it's like to feel the sharp pain of getting stabbed? I'll tell you this, it isn't too great. For starters, it feels like you are being hit by a truck, but the truck is small, and very sharp. Know why I know this? Well, that's because I decided to play hero to protect the love of my life. Now that I look back at it, I'm glad I saved her. If not, I would not be alive today. I wouldn't be standing upon this platform looking into a sold out, speaking into a microphone about how in
they begin to exhibit land lust, envy of the miserable and self-preservation. Thomas Putnam establishes conflict by vying for land with other characters. From the outset, he is bitter and quarrelsome over his boundaries. He shouts to Giles Corey, "I'll have my men on you, Corey! I'll clap a writ on you!" (Miller, ) Greediness does not play a role in a time of close-knit societies and in seeking the salvation of God. Putnam displays a threatening tone towards Giles over land. By threatening Giles
long as I could remember, I spent my days lying on my back, relaxing and soaking up the sun's warm rays. One day, I took my usual place in the sun but the light didn't seem to be as bright. In fact, as the day went on, it grew darker and darker, loud claps of thunder shook the cloud, and the Droplet felt as if he were getting so heavy he could hardly move. This is called precipitation. Suddenly, I felt myself falling from the cloud. Down, down, down he fell, farther and father from home. At last I landed
