1. Rose didn’t cry at her brother’s funeral and hasn’t cried since. She is too angry with the Ministry, at her brother for dying and just angry at the world in general. Instead she just wears black as a sign of respect and as I subtle way of showing that she does miss Hugo and that his death truly hurts her. 2. Since there were always a lot of Weasleys and Potters at school, she mostly hung out with them. She never bothered making any other friends, because she basically didn’t need them. As the war commenced, however, she felt more alone than ever, because most of her family decided to join the draft. She had different views than most of them right away, which caused a lot of tension in the family. 3. Rose is a great dueler. Having a dad who’s an auror has its perks and both her father and mother always encouraged her to learn how to defend herself. This is one of the reasons no one ever wanted to mess wit her. If she would threaten someone, they knew she would go through it. She wasn’t cruel with anyone, but didn’t let them go down easy either. SAMPLE PARA: The sun was beginning...
Rose's breast cancer symbolizes the way she is literally consumed with anger (the cancer eats at her flesh, consuming her body). Anger is the only way she knows to deal with her father, her husband, men and the system they represent: "We're not going to be sad. We're going to be angry until we die. It's the only hope."(354) She doesn't see that anger is destructive, that anger is in fact why things have turned out the way they have.

Alice Walker’s “Roselily”, when first read considered why she decided to use third person. Especially when the story is in such a private line of thought, but then after my second time reading the story I decided that Roselily would not be a strong enough woman to speak about the social injustices that have happened to her. One key part of the story is her new life she will be facing after she is married in Chicago, while comparing it with her old life she is leaving in Mississippi. In Chicago she will no longer have a job, but instead be a homemaker where she will be responsible for the children and home. Also, in Chicago she will become a Muslim because it is what her new husband will want her to be, but back in Mississippi she was of the Christian faith. One of the more positive outcomes of her marriage is that she will go from extreme poverty, to not having to worry about money on a day to day basis.
By going through her relationship with Ted, an event which Rose struggled through, her journey would have been complete if she sought to save someone as told by Campbell. Regardless, she has traveled through a departure and a fulfillment stage when she met Ted and had a divorce; however, it is apparent that she is missing the paramount moral of heroism when she only sought to benefit herself by acquiring the house. All things considered, Rose still had a change in consciousness when she was deep in thought about how to face her divorce and accordingly, she acted upon what she desired. Hence, she only fulfilled part of the
Inexplicable evidence suggests that Rose did indeed perform this act of treason; however, I as the reader know that she did not commit this crime, and am left to predict the outcome. I don’t foresee Rose dying any time in the near future. I can logically say this because she’s the protagonist of the novel, and there is still an entire book left. On another note, her father insists that she won’t even go to trial: “‘This hearing wasn’t even important,’ Abe said evasively. “‘What happens next is.’ ‘And what is that exactly?’ He gave me that dark, sly gaze again. ‘Nothing you need to worry about yet’” (Mead 488). Knowing the characters and the author like I do, it’s easy to infer that Abe definitely has concocted a plan to ensure the safety of Rose. Not to mention that Rose had just received a letter from her so-called “victim”, Queen Tatiana herself. The letter announced that Tatiana had foreseen her own death, and entrusted Rose with a mission to find Lissa’s unknown half brother or sister. By doing this, Lissa receiving her rightful place on the Council will be inevitable. Furthermore, the fate of Rose may not be as bleak as it seems at the end of the
This is significant because it shows that Rose highly supports independence even at the age of 3 years. She would rather her daughter to be burnt again than take a few minutes out of her drawing time to cook her daughter some food. In addition, the fire foreshadows that Jeannette isn’t going to back down from things because it was too hard. She will take things head on, which is shown when she becomes fascinated with the
Mary Boleyn, was one of the most fascinating and controversial woman of 16th century Europe. Because of her controversial affair with King Henry VIII her life was filled with many harsh realities including scandal and finally her death at a very young age.
The diction used in this scene shows the strength in Rose’s voice. “I’ll take care of your baby for you… cause… like you say… she’s innocent… and you can’t visit the sins of the father upon the child. A motherless child has got a hard time. From right now... this child got a mother. But you a womanless man.” This scene is very emotional and climatic. The bluntness of Rose’s words and the lack of sympathy she has for Troy shows the reader how little love Rose has left for him. The last sentence of the quote is really what leaves the reader’s jaw dropped. Wilson allows Rose to say so much with so little. In addition, her strength in this scene is very admirable. For me, I see my own mother in Rose. Most people admire their mother and see them as a mentally strong person. That being said, I am able to empathize with Rose because I am able to relate her to my own mother. I think that if my mother was in the same situation as Rose, she would have taken the baby in as her own as
Faulkner guides us through his short story “A Rose for Miss Emily”, with his own unique form of third person limited narration. This narration allows the audience to follow the opinions of the narrator and develop the mindset the author desires his audience to have. Specifically, William’s choice to begin the story with the description of Emily’s funeral gives the reader a sort of inherent sympathy for Miss Emily, which we, the readers, naturally carry through the story as we build our opinion of Emily.
First off, she was submissive to Troy because she felt he gave her opportunities to live a better life. He gave her the chance to have a husband and a son: the family she always wanted. Rose feels a sense of responsibility towards Troy because of this. What Troy does not do, however, is give her the chance to her raise her child. Cory was mostly raised and influenced by his father. It is clear that Troy controlled Cory’s life, responsibilities, and punishments, while Rose’s thoughts and ideas were overshadowed by Troy’s wishes. For example, while Rose pushed for Troy to let his son play football, Troy had the final say. As hard as Rose pushed for Troy to allow their son to do what made him happiest, Tory is relentless and refuses to listen to Rose at all. She is silenced by his dominance. As the marriage progressed, Rose tries harder and harder to make their relationship work; she even had Troy build a fence around their yard as a metaphorical attempt to keep their family together. This is Rose’s final attempt of having a perfect family and love. She is afraid of losing what matters most to her, her family, and this is her way of keeping them close. This dynamic lasted for eighteen years, until Troy cheated on Rose and got another woman pregnant. His true character shows through in this scene, because instead of trying to apologize for what he did, he tries to justify his actions. He is even close to getting physically violent with her. Rose will not accept his excuse. For the first time in eighteen years Rose stands up for herself and does not back down until her voice is heard. Rose finally realizes that Troy only has power over her because she lets him. From this moment, she refuses to be a part of his life anymore. She does, however, agree to raise his child, Raynell, after her mother dies in childbirth. Troy, on the other hand, will no longer be a part of her
It among all the other montages is symbolic of the different magnifying events in the story. There is no actual rose in the story, only the word “rose” appears four times. The first two with the use as a verb. The next two occur at the very end, “A thin, acrid pall as of the tomb seemed to lie everywhere upon this room decked and furnished as for a bridal: upon the valance curtains of faded rose color, upon the rose-shaded lights, upon the dressing table, upon the delicate array of crystal and the man 's toilet things backed with tarnished silver, silver so tarnished that the monogram was obscured. (Faulkner 5.4)”

In William Faulkner’s short story “A Rose for Emily”, we never hear the mention of a rose. The rose is a symbol of sympathy and pity that we feel towards her. Emily reflected the rose. She wanted to blossom and bloom but she was held down and lock up from the real world. Emily was the daughter of a rich man, a town hero. Her father, although he was looked up to by the town, was demanding and controlling. He turned down every man that he didn’t feel was worthy of his daughter. He set her up for a life that she could not escape. She became used to this lifestyle and it became who she was. When her father passed,
Her father died and left her and her mother in a hard situation as he made most of the money. She must marry into a family with a lot of wealth to continue the type of lifestyle she was use to, the abundance of valuable possessions and money. Cal, Roses fiance is one that makes it clear on her place in their relationship. Gender stratification is also a big role in their relationship. Cal makes it exceptionally clear that Rose must obey and reflect well on him, and if she doesn 't not violence could be in place. Gender Stratification shows that Cal is the higher between the two according to their gender. Cal felt that he had prestige over others like Rose and Jack. That his achievements and his high class and being a successful male made him much more qualified to be with Rose, even if Rose didn 't agree. Rose didn 't care about her fiance 's achievements and prestige, as her feelings for Jack were growing. They snuck off to hide from her fiance and because their relationship wasn 't accepted for many
Overall, there were so many different battles being fought on the ship. Rose was fighting herself over what she wanted in her life and what was expected of her. Rose was expected to live up to the standards of a rich woman, which she did not want to do. And, ultimately in the end, everyone was fighting to stay alive. If you were lucky enough to jump aboard a lifeboat, you were well off, but in the final moments of the Titanic’s sinking, no amount of money in the world could save you. The Atlantic Ocean did not care if you were rich or poor, male or female, it was taking you as its victim.
