She rose to his requirement, dropped The playthings of her life To take the honorable work Of woman and of wife. But she saw beyond that bitter moment a long procession of years to come that would belong to her absolutely. And she opened and spread her arms out to them in welcome. The Story of the Hour says how the wife (Mrs. Mallard) is finally free, how she saw the future would belong to her, and she is excited about it. It relates  to ” The wife” because the poem tells us how the wife gave up everything (2) and took the honor of being a housewife and “dropped The playthings of her life, To take the honor, Of woman and of wife.” In ” Story of the hour, Mrs. Mallard repeats, ” Free! Body and soul free! “, although she loves her husband, there are times when she doesn’t (13). “And yet she had loved him — sometimes.” The two stories’ theme connects because they are both wife who are lost and become a housewife. But then became free once their husband’s died

OEDIPUS: For what you ask me—if you hear my words and welcome them and fight the plague, you will find strength and lightening your load. Hark to me; what I say to you, I say 235 as a stranger to the story as a stranger to the deed, for I would not be far upon the track if I alone were tracing it without a clue. But now, since after all was finished, I became 240 a citizen among you, citizens— now I proclaim to all the men of Thebes: who so among you knows the murderer by whose hand Laius, son of Labdacus, died—I command him to tell everything 245 to me,– yes. However, he fears himself taking the blame. (4) This passage talks about how the King of Thebes tries to get rid of the evil of Thebes. “I Proclaim to all the men of Thebes who so among you knows the murderer by whose hand Laius, son of Labdacus, died” I believe in this passage, he is informing this person, Fighting with Oedipus will bring you great powers of strength and things will be easier to handle    

“Araby” by James is indeed not a love story. Instead, it’s rather more of an obsession story. ” Every morning, I lay on the floor in the front parlor watching her door. The blind was pulled down to within an inch of the sash, so I could not be seen. When she came out on the doorstep, my heart leaped. I ran to the hall, seized my books, and followed her. ” His multiple attempts to impress her lead him to continue being disappointed and discouraged. The night at nine o’clock, the boy asked his uncle for the money he was supposed to give him so that he could buy his crush a gift. By the time the boy got near the store, he had feared Bazaar might be closed, but then he found a way in and recognized silence. A young lady asked him if he wanted to buy anything with a discouraging tone. In the end, he realized a gift wasn’t worth it and that doing so much wouldn’t get him anywhere. Being left with disappointment.

The characters I plan on talking about would be Sylvia and Sugar.  In the beginning, they were just kids in a neighborhood doing what kids do, then a lady name Miss Moore moved in and taught the class Sylvia and Sugar are in.  Miss Moore asked the type of kids if they knew what money was. She then brought the course to a toy store called FAO Schwarz. The kids then began touching and looking at multiple toys, wishing those toys were theirs and how a kid name Mercedes said, “My father buy it for me if I wanted it.” Sylvia and Sugar were shocked by the price tags in the store. Sylvia saw a thirty-five-dollar clown. She started comparing what she could buy with thirty-five dollars; the whole household could visit Grand-daddy Nelson in the country, pay the rent, the piano bill, and a bunk bed for Junior and Gretchen’s boy. Sylvia was so shocked that a toy could cost so much. Sugar, on the other hand, started talking about the cost of a toy and society, “Imagine for a minute what kind of society it is in which some people can spend on a toy what it would cost to feed a family of six or seven. What do you think?.” Sylvia is unhappy about Sugar talking all smart, so she tries forcing Sugar to shut up by stomping her. Sylvia seems jealous and mad about how smart Sugar was talking in class, so in the end, Sylvia leaves Sugar and goes on her way, saying, “ain’t nobody going to beat me at Nuthin.”

Corey Lei, ENG 201, Sec 0516 At the begging of the story, the Author Langston Hughes was automatically made to believe he was with Jesus (1). She stated, ” you were saved. You saw the light, and something happened to you inside! And Jesus came into your life! And God was with you from then on! “(1). Langston was put with a group that hadn’t felt the connection with Jesus, and he was placed in the front role on the mourners’ Bench with his age group. He and another child name Westley were the only ones who hadn’t gotten up to the so-called light they saw. Westly lied and pretended to know Jesus to avoid being preached, singing along with the songs. Seeing the light meaning is believing in Jesus. Then Langston stood and stood up, and everyone in the church celebrated that Langston had finally seen the light. His Aunt was thrilled. Later the night, he cried, while his aunt thought it was just the Holy Ghost getting to him.  In the beginning, Langston was brought to the church and was convinced Jesus had brought him to life and gave him a chance. The church was a test to see his belief. The Author was confident in the beginning but confused in the middle because he was the last to ” see the light. ” In the end, he felt hopeless and horrible because he lied and still hasn’t seen the light.
