Darkness. There was only darkness for a moment, and in that moment Elizabeth Crane thought, "This is it. I guess this is the end." Elizabeth had been in a coma for 2 very long years. Every second of which she was painfully aware of her condition, but unable to give any sign of her undeniable brain activity. So she had simply been...there. In some type of limbo. And now, finally a change. Although a scary one. Most days she was able to start sensing things around her as well as hear. It could be quite dull now. The only ones that visit her anymore are her parents and her fiancé. Or...he used to...she couldn't tell if their relationship had changed. It was hard to tell these things when you cannot speak, touch, or even blink …show more content…
And it went well. And it killed her. Of course she'd want him to move on eventually, but she never expected to have to see it... The scene changed again. It was now a wedding. There he was at the altar. Waiting there with tears in his eyes, overjoyed. That was what she was supposed to see when she walked down the aisle... But it wasn't her that came walking in when the music began to play. It was the girl from the date. And she looked gorgeous. Elizabeth's fiancé came back into view and he was...crying. He was actually crying. He had cried for neither happiness nor sadness when he was with Elizabeth, but this new girl was making him blubber like a baby. Was he...was it possible that he loved her more than he had Elizabeth? She didn't have time to dwell on this thought because the picture changed once again. This time it was her parents. They were sitting at their dinner table with her brother, just sitting and talking. This may not seem bizarre, but her brother hadn't talked to their parents in years. Ever since he came out, they had pretended like he didn't …show more content…
This time, there were two grooms. Paul and a man she had never seen. He looked overjoyed until he walked up to Elizabeth. As soon as he reached her the light in his eyes dimmed. "Elizabeth, this is the happiest day of my life. But I've got to tell you, I really wish mom and dad were here. I do love them you know. I wish they could accept that this...it's just...who I am." He began to cry, which seemed to be a recurring theme in these clips, but it was still just as powerful. This last image faded back to white and the now familiar voice returned. "The clips are now finished. It is time to make your decision. Whatever you choose you must state very clearly so there can be no mistake." All the visions she just saw flashed once again before her eyes and she thought about all her loved ones. How their lives would be. She looked up broken hearted, knowing there was only one answer to choose. She knew it all along, deep down. "I...choose to pass on to the next life." She had time only for a single tear before the light became blinding
Experts believe that writing workshops are an excellent way to get elementary school children interested in writing and setting the stage for a lifelong joy of writing. Lucy Calkins developed Writer’s Workshop which was based on many positions taken by her mentor Donald Graves (Feinberg 2). She identified six major components of the Writer’s Workshop, which make it so successful. The six components are: predictable structure, free choice, useful mini-lessons, daily independent writing time, conferencing with teachers and peers and modeling good writing.
The respect that Elizabeth had for her husband she lost it all. The trust she had for her husband was not the same after. She felt like everything he said and told her was not the truth. She had trust issues after that. She felt like her family was torn apart that her life would never be the same after. After all the lies and heart break. But that should ...
Although being wronged, Elizabeth tries to be a good wife and does not tell the court of John’s affair, unknowing that he had already admitted. John loves his wife, so he righteously admits to his sin in attempt to save her while only dooming himself to the good nature of Elizabeth. There is irony in this situation because Elizabeth, a woman who “in her life, she had never lied” does so only to protect her husband’s name (103). In making the decision to lie, she is therefore convincing the court that John is lying to protect her. Emotions steadily build awaiting the dramatic ending between Elizabeth and John. Elizabeth is saved from hanging due to her pregnancy, whereas John refuses to lie and admit to witchcraft. Their attempts to save each other backfire. Ironically, if Elizabeth had not lied, her and John could have been together for years to come.
...or herself. She had just confined to what he wanted to hear and see since she smiled at him while saying this. She could have realized that he took his time coming back and gave up her desperate attempts to keep them together and given up hope that he will be there after the procedure is done.
When they finally told her, she reacted as a regular wife would react. She locked herself on a room thinking about how terrible this was, but them she realized this was not that bad as it seemed. After a few minutes she understood that her husband’s death
tears welling up in her eyes and all she wanted was to be back home
“This is the end,” she stated. She didn’t cry or stutter or tremor or even flinch. She was neither happy nor sad about it. She just accepted it. For years she had thought of her death moment, but as it neared, she realized it would be nowhere near as glorious or as wonderful as she had imagined.
As a result, she met emotions she did not think existed, felt a huge hollow and felt like a walking dead. Her confused days and sleepless nights became a ritual; therefore, the only life she knows was a torturous hell
Elizabeth gave a small inaudible sigh as she walked through the white grounds of Longbourn, not even pretending to be listening to the constant ramblings of her companion. Instead, she was paying much more attention to the snow that was crunching beneath her feet and to the refreshing cool breeze that hit her face as she walked. She had hoped that her sister Kitty would make this time spent with Mr Collins more bearable, but it seemed that Kitty had suddenly developed an extremely quick pace and was out of their sight soon after they left the house. Elizabeth deduced that this was probably the doing of her mother, who had been trying to get her alone with Mr Collins for days.
To Bring The Horse Home By Julie Bruck As a girl I made my calves into little drinking elephants, I would stare at the wonder of their pumping muscles, the sup of their leg-trunks. I resuscitated a bunny once from my cat’s electric teeth. I was on neighborhood watch to save animals, as many as I could. My damage was easy.
The princess and the man were in love and had been together for many months. “Not only did she know in which room stood the lady, ready to emerge, all blushing and
She was stuck. Lost in the cave, Tiffany argued it was more prudent to wait for someone to come and save her instead of wandering off getting more and more lost after every step. She waited, and waited, and waited. No one came for her. Tiffany was wondering how it was in her homeland, the forest and how the creatures were. She thought to herself in the darkness, “I wondered if it was for the best that the creatures were happy and the light shone through the leaves. Maybe I should have come out here on this dangerous trip, or else, I wouldn’t even be here.” After a couple of days, she lost hope and sat by herself in the darkness dreaming of the good life she had before all this commotion started. It was “the end” for

After everyone has left for Rosings, Elizabeth is still fuming from the news that Darcy was the cause of Jane and Bingley's break up. Elizabeth is then startled by the arrival of Darcy. After a few minutes of silence, Darcy shocks Elizabeth with a sudden declaration of love for her and a proposal of marriage. In the beginning Elizabeth is flattered in spite of her deeply rooted prejudice against Darcy. Elizabeth's feelings soon turn to rage as Darcy catalogs all the reasons why he did not pursue his feelings earlier. These reasons include her inferior social class and her family obstacles.
She did this knowing that her loved one would walk in the stadium and immediately look to her for the answer of which door to choose. However, the young boy did not consider the princess’s jealousy when she gave him her answer. Unfortunately for the princess, behind one of the doors “was one of the fairest and loveliest of the damsels of the court who had been selected as the reward of the accused youth . . . and the princess hated her” (Stockton 205). The princess did not necessarily hate this maiden for no reason but rather for an action that the lady may or may not have committed. Stockton claims that the princess had witnessed or imagined this lovely damsel gazing at her beloved and her beloved returning the glances (205). Although the princess loves the young man, she realizes that if she reveals to him the door with the lovely damsel she would have to deal with the agony of watching her beloved rush joyously to the woman behind the door while the celebration of matrimony took place right before her eyes. The princess would have to live her life suffering as she watched the man she loves live a happy life with the woman she
