“When letters are put together, they can mean so much, and they can mean nothing at all,” said Nora Raleigh Baskin in her book Anything But Typical. There are 26 letters in the alphabet, and some people know exactly how to arrange them so that they mean so much. Words, sentences, quotes - can show you how to live, help you understand feelings, and can stay in your mind forever. You can find quotes anywhere. Books, something said to you, online, poems, or any words that touch you. Things you hear or read and want to keep forever, words that have so much feeling you need to keep them. I normally write down two to five phrases or sentences from any book I read. Sentences that I love so much that I need to keep them stored away in a notebook, something

The one thing that every person is granted in life is having the option to choose. Choosing whether to stand or to sit; to go or to stay; to speak up or to stay quiet and fictional characters should be no different. In Henrik Ibsen’s play, A Doll’s House, the protagonist Nora Helmer is always making decisions that she feels are beneficial. Nora is like a typical housewife: devoted to her husband, children, and home. Just in the beginning of the play, she is seen coming back home after a day spent shopping for Christmas presents for her family. The reader grasps that she is a loving individual, but it also seems as if she is naïve. This all changes as the play continues. Just from how she handles situations and knowledge from her past, the reader understands that there is more to Nora Helmer than what her husband perceives. From vast choices like illegally stealing money and leaving her husband to minor ones like not wanting to see her children, it is revealed in the story that Nora is an intelligent and strong young woman.
Thomas Edison had many famous quotes, and these were some of the ones I found at www.thomasedison.com: “The dove is my emblem”; “The memory of my mother will be everlasting to me”; and “Life’s most soothing things are a child’s goodnight sleep and sweet music.”
For many years, humans have expressed thoughts through language. The first language was most likely rudimentary, lacking structure and norms; however, as societies rose and fell languages became more complex. Eventually speakers needed a mode in which to keep a record of spoken word. The need for a recordkeeping system drove the creation of writing systems. Writing systems have further facilitated the advancement of language. Poetry, usually involving complex rhyme and meter schemes would be much more difficult to create without an alphabet. The English language has been used poetically by many authors through the centuries that people have spoken and written it. One of the most well-known English speaking poets is Edgar Allan Poe.
Winston Churchill delivers meaningful quotes to his audience intended to convey them to have fate in their own lives. Winston Churchill states in this meaningful quote saying the importance of remaining strong throughout the troubles of life. there is no way that someone can make it through hardships of life without being strong and independent."We are still masters of our fate. We are still captains of our own souls."

Quotes can create a sense of unity and friendship among people. For example, you enter a new classroom on the first day of university and say “Toto, I've got a feeling we're not in Kansas
Ibsen's character development of Nora is represented by animal imagery. From the beginning of the play, we notice Ibsen's use of animals to describe Nora. In the opening lines, Torvald says, "Is that my little lark twittering out there?" (Wilke 1139). Webster's defines "lark" as a songbird and to play or frolic (Guralnik 340). The reader automatically gets an image of Nora as a carefree, happy person. In the following paragraphs, I will show how animal names are used to paint a portrait of the character of "Nora the Lark."
Many women in modern society make life altering decisions on a daily basis. Women today have prestigious and powerful careers unlike in earlier eras. It is more common for women to be full time employees than homemakers. In 1879, when Henrik Ibsen wrote A Doll's House, there was great controversy over the out come of the play. Nora’s walking out on her husband and children was appalling to many audiences centuries ago. Divorce was unspoken, and a very uncommon occurrence. As years go by, society’s opinions on family situations change. No longer do women have a “housewife” reputation to live by and there are all types of family situations. After many years of emotional neglect, and overwhelming control, Nora finds herself leaving her family. Today, it could be said that Nora’s decision is very rational and well overdue.
Eliminating nonessential elements, the minimized letterforms weaken the identification to recognize some of the letters: the lowercase ‘a’ and ‘g’ with single-counter are less legible than the two-counter letters; the letter ‘b’, ‘d’, ‘p’ and ‘q’ are considered to be just mirrored or rotated
Nora is a dynamic character. When the play begins Nora is viewed and presented as a playful and carefree person. She seems to be more intent on shopping for frivolous things. But, as time goes on it becomes apparent that Nora actually has a certain amount of seriousness in her decisions and actions in dealing with the debt she incurred to save Torvald’s life. Nora’s openness in her friendship with Dr. Rank changes after he professes his affections toward her. Her restraint in dealing with him shows that Nora is a mature and intelligent woman. Nora shows courage, not seen previously, by manipulating her way around Krogstad and his threats to reveal her secret. After feeling betrayed by Torvald, Nora reveals that she is leaving him. Having
