Quote #2
In Quote #2, it’s about when Janie is is talking about nature and caution. It says, “...if it was nature nobody wouldn’t have tuh look out for babies touchin’ stoves, would they?” This is saying nature is what makes people take unwise actions. It also says, “...dey just naturally wouldn’t touch it...so it’s caution.” This says that what stops people from touching a stove is caution. Lastly it says, “He made nature and nature made everything else.” This states that God didn’t create everything but that he only created nature and nature is the the thing that created everything else, therefore nature is our creator.

The awakening is plenty of characters that describe in a very loyal way the society of the nineteenth century in America. Among the most important ones there are Edna Pontellier, Léonce Pontellier, Madame Lebrun, Robert Lebrun, Victor Lebrun, Alcée Arobin, Adéle Ratignolle and Mademoiselle Reisz.
In March, by Geraldine Brooks, a mixed-race slave named Grace Clement is introduced after a young, aspiring Reverend March visits her manor to sell books and trinkets to women as a peddler. Grace Clement is a complex key character that is a controlling force in March and exhibits a symbol of idealistic freedom to Reverend March during the Civil War. Her complexity is revealed through her tumultous past, and her strong façade that allows her to be virtuous and graceful through hard times.
The ways women are presented in Northanger Abbey are through the characters of Catherine Morland, Isabella Thorpe, Eleanor Tilney, Mrs Allen, and the mothers of the Morland and Thorpe family, who are the main female characters within this novel. I will be seeing how they are presented through their personalities, character analysis, and the development of the character though out the novel. I will be finding and deciphering scenes, conversations and character description and backing up with quotes to show how Austen has presented women in her novel Northanger Abbey.
When you git through tellin’ me how tuh cut uh plug uh tobacco, then you kin tell me whether mah behind is on straight or not’” (Hurston 98-9).Janie is upset with Jody that he will judge her on her appearance and actions. It is sad how this is still going on today, not only with women but transgenders. The past few years were very hard for transgenders and gays. They were cursed, made fun of, and killed. People judged them on their appearance and not on their personality. As a Christian the Bible never believed in gay marriages and transexually but I believe that people are people and they deserve to love somebody like how a woman and a man love each other. But why did Janie wait all this time to feel free? I understand that whenever she tried to speak to Jody about their relationship that he will become crazy but why did she not leave him when he first made her feel this way? This statement is very symbolic. This shows that if you keep fighting until the end that you will make history and feel strong and
For a short time Janie shared her life with her betrothed husband Logan Killicks. She desperately tried to become her new pseudo identity, to conform to the perfect "housewife" persona. Trying to make a marriage work that couldn't survive without love, love that Janie didn't have for Logan. Time and again Janie referred to love and her life in reference to nature, "Ah wants things sweet wid mah marriage lak when you sit under a pear tree and think... She often spoke to falling seeds and said Ah hope you fall on soft grounds... She knew the world was a stallion rolling in the blue pasture of ether"(24 - 25). Logan had blown out the hope in Janie's heart for any real love; she experienced the death of the childish imagery that life isn't a fairytale, her first dose of reality encountered and it tasted sour.

This quote is significant because it represents what Jack is and what he has done. Ralph calls Jack these names before they lose their temper and are about to fight. In this quote, Ralph has called Jack out, that he is the reason of all the misfortune that has happened on the island and that he is the beast. That he was the reason of all this savagery and that he caused the evil within the boys, he brought it on through his need for leadership and his want for hunting and killing. Ralph calls him a thief and a swine because of his behaviour towards Piggy. He stole his glasses and turned all the boys against Ralph and Piggy who were the only good people on the island. As well as for making the island a fearful place for the boys. I feel that Ralph is right in everything he has said to Jack. He created the fear on the island all because of his need to be chief. As well as turned everyone against each other at the ending of the novel.
...d to help her solve the challenges in her life as a black beautiful woman. Alternatively, it can simply mean that Janie is standing in the dark with the rest of the people trying to watch God. Therefore, it is a metaphor, which has different meanings that have been brought together to portray the same meaning.
...n outside pine tree while Joy takes a turn, prancing about in the form of Tea Cake. Like Joy, Sorrow—and the violence which brings it about—has a place in the world and in Janie’s life. And in the novel’s closing lines, Janie “[pulls] in her horizon like a great fish-net. [Pulls] it from around the waist of the world and [drapes] it over her shoulder. So much of life in its meshes! She called in her soul to come and see” (184). Sorrow, of course, is included in Janie’s horizon, and the image of pulling in her horizon reverses the previous image of Sorrow flying out. Janie not only accepts the sorrow and violence of life, but welcomes it. And, in doing so, Janie’s horizon embraces the waist of the world, and her creation becomes the creation of a world.
Jeanette Walls is the picture-perfect illustration of an individual who finds righteousness for herself. She is the protagonist in the book “The Glass Castle”, who has an unfair miserable childhood due to how her parents were. Walls stands out for her determination as she goes out to the real world to seek her own justice, with the ultimate goal of being stable for once, and take responsibility for herself, not for the whole family.
Throughout Emerson’s essay titled “Nature,” he responds to current events, the most prominent being the Second Great Awakening. In the chapter titled “Idealism” Emerson discusses the effects of ideas and beliefs upon nature and humans. These ideas are meant to represent religion and the partnership of God and Nature. This is shown in the quote “Nature is made to conspire with spirit to emancipate us.” This quote speaks to the connection between God and Nature. Emerson discusses the idea that nature could be an illusion and exists as an imaginative connection to reach God through. Connecting to Nature thus leads to connecting to God. “Nature” discusses the properties of nature and how the human mind reacts to natural events. In the “Idealism”
Janie Crawford strong belief in God has influenced her way of living. In the story, Janie Crawford always “looked” to God for answers in her life. Janie states “ Two things everybody 's got tuh do fuh theyselves. They got tuh go to God, and they got tuh find out about livin’ fuh theyselves” (Hurston 9). By Janie stating this, she proves that she puts her problems in life in God hands and lets him make decisions based on how she should live. Also, Janie doesn’t question God’s work being
3:5; 2 Corinthians 5:21). But He goes even further than mercy and extends grace to His
“Strictly speaking, therefore, all that is separate from us, all which Philosophy distinguishes as the NOT ME, that is, both nature and art, all other men and my own body, must be ranked under this name, NATURE.”
Through Janie's experiences and feelings regarding the love of her life, his death, and the hurricane, it is obvious that Hurston meant for the reader to relate self-realization with questioning God. Although God is not a dominant theme in the novel, it is likely that Hurston was mirroring the people she came into contact with throughout her endeavors as a folklorist. Perhaps God was not an everyday part of her people's lives, but when there was a problem with love or nature was impacting their lives God was certainly a significant and appropriate part of their lives. This title and the novel reflect one woman's journey to discover life and love while realizing God's presence through it all and immortalizes the way many people in Hurston's time must have felt regarding God and nature.
