Reading Response to :A Text(no name): Anonymous
I believe the meaning of the text is that you can't always expect to get what you want out of life. I know this because in the book the author repeats it many times. She talks about how she did not get what she wanted and that life brought her to something better and by times life brought her to something worse. Example: ''sometimes you just don't get what you wish for, sometimes you get something better''.Another example of this meaning is that she often talks about how she always wanted more than just work and school, she wanted to love and discover but she never got a chance because life always kept her from doing what she loved. The text by Anonymous reminded me of a time when I wanted

  • Simon Armitage Hyperbole

    967 Words  | 2 Pages

    The hyperbole helps describe Armitage’s messages to the readers of the child’s fears of failing in adulthood, but adulthood can give you freedom and opportunities. We see the child's fears of failing in adulthood, which is conveyed by the hyperbole of “to fall or to fly.” The fall represents the failing and the fly represents the success. This hyperbole shows the child's fears of whether or not he is going to succeed in adulthood. The conclusion of the poem is ambiguous, but reflects a real life experience most of us undergo, not knowing whether independence is a chance for us to thrive or fail. This message made me consider if I am going to thrive or fail in adulthood but I know that it is part of life and that mostly everyone have or will undergo this life experience. An additional hyperbole Armitage uses to display that adulthood can give you freedom and opportunities is ”endless sky.” This shows the freedom, independence and opportunities the child gets in his adulthood and it may not be scary as it looks, as you can choose and decide for yourself. I believe that I get small doses of independence because I can decide my own career path as I am becoming a year thirteen next year and then entering the big wide world. Armitage uses hyperbole to convey the message to the reader that the child is scared, but he knows that he will have freedom and endless opportunities ahead of

  • The American Dream In The Joy Luck Club

    142 Words  | 1 Pages

    This quote means a lot to me, since it describes the American Dream as the chance to be free to say, think, or do anything. Especially in other countries, like China in the Joy Luck Club, women are restricted, and do not have the same opportunities and rights as men do. The dream includes the idea of being able to speak freely, and being able express myself to the world. Another promise is being able to have my own opinions, and to not be told by authority or government what to believe or think. In America, I am able to do anything, from becoming doctor to traveling the world, not forced into the role of a housewife. I love the idea of the American Dream since it means that I will not be held back, and am able to achieve my goals.

  • Moral Lessons In 'The Life Of An Amorous Woman'?

    Quite possibly the best lesson that can be taken from this reading is that if you keep on a steady path of hard work, keep out of trouble, and live on the straight and narrow, you will be on the path to true success. Don’t be sidetracked by attractions of desire that can call you from that very path. As we all know certain vices have their prices.

  • Individualism in "Anthem" by Ayn Rand

    814 Words  | 2 Pages

    If my life had no purpose, no individuality, and no happiness, I would not want to live. This book teaches the importance of self expression and independence. If we did not have these necessities, then life would be like those in this novel. Empty, redundant, and fearful. The quotes above show how different life can be without our basic freedoms. This novel was very interesting and it shows, no matter how dismal a situation is, there is always a way out if you never give up, even if you have to do it alone.

  • What Is Perseverance In Our Generation Essay

    745 Words  | 2 Pages

    Each generation goes through a struggle. However, we must learn how to persevere. Luckily we have higher generations to teach us how. In the poem, “Mother to Son” it states “And splinters, And boards torn up, And places with no carpet on the floor…” The older generation (or mother) is saying that life is like a staircase, but the staircase will have problems that throw you off. However, later on in the poem, it says to keep persevering, keep walking through the stairs, or keep going through life even if you’re at the lowest point of your life. I believe that the message of perseverance in

  • Do Not Let Your Bad Hand Stop you from Breaking the Wal

    1656 Words  | 4 Pages

    Imagine sitting around a poker table, awaiting anxiously for the dealer to deal out the next cards, knowing that if you receive a good hand you will win. To your dismay, you stare in shock at the “bad” hand you received. However, it’s not necessarily the hand that is bad, but how you play the hand that can determine your fate. The same goes for life. In life, you will always be dealt good hands and bad hands, and sometimes, there is even a brick wall attached to these cards that symbolize the problems and struggles that accompany these cards. Even if you have a bad hand, if you play your cards the right way, the bad hand can transform into winning, successful hand. In The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch, one of the life lessons he advocates is, “We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand” (17). Moreover, there will always be a brick wall, or challenges, in the cards we were dealt, and according to Pausch, we possess the power to rip down the wall and to deal with how we react to the cards we are dealt.

  • Analysis of e.e. cummings' since feeling is first

    1084 Words  | 3 Pages

    The poem says that "since feeling is first" (line 1) the one who pays attention to the meaning of things will never truly embrace. The poem states that it is better to be a fool, or to live by emotions while one is young. The narrator declares that his "blood approves" (line 7) showing that his heart approves of living by feeling, and that the fate of feeling enjoyment is better than one of "wisdom" (line 9) or learning. He tells his "lady" (line 10) not to cry, showing that he is speaking to her. He believes that she can make him feel better than anything he could think of, because her "eyelids" (line 12) say that they are "for each other" (line 13). Then, after all she's said and thought, his "lady" forgets the seriousness of thought and leans into the narrator's arms because life is not a "paragraph" (line 15), meaning that life is brief. The last line in the poem is a statement which means that death is no small thi...

  • Making Choices: Leart Frost, And The Road Not Taken By Robert Frost

    1047 Words  | 3 Pages

    “The Road Not Taken” signified a difficult choice in a person’s life that could offer him the hard way out into life. There is no assurance of what lies ahead; if there will be success or sorrows. A person has to take risks on making up his/her mind about which way to choose because this is the first step of heading into success or failure. The narrator believed that his choice offered him the hard way out into life and “that [the choice] made all the difference” because he knew “how ways leads on to way” and that the road travelled by others might be the easy way out. The poet showed that choosing the harder path gave the narrator the fulfilment he sought. Meanwhile the father in “If” addressed his son on how to achieve an outcome by making the right life choices. He told his son about the expectations in a ‘great man’, being strong and courageous and that he does not always needs to “look too good, nor talk too wise” but rather staying humble and intelligent. Furthermore, he also told his son that sometimes the outcome of his choice is not always what he will expect and that he has to try again and “hold on” to what he believes in. The father taught his son how to get the outcome he desires but at the same time how to act when nothing goes the way he plans. “The Road Not Taken” and “If” both showed different ways and struggles of making choices and the outcomes that come

    Many people allow their hardships to attack them and force themselves to give up, but one must learn to switch the script and use those hardships for the greater good. “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade,” Throughout all the poems, there is a chain of hardships shackled on the person’s ankles, but it was left to that person to preserve that dream, take advantage of the given situation, and follow through with the dream.
