How To Cut Her Hair Off
Della cuts her hair off. Della says, "Nobody could ever count my love for you." She cut it her hair off because she loves Jim, and wants to buy him a present for Christmas. Jim says, "I don't think there's anything that could make me like my girl any less." Meaning he still loves her no matter whether she has hair or not. Della saves up money to buy Jim a chain for his watch. She gets her hair cut off and uses the money she already had to buy Jim the gift. Della says, "If Jim doesn't kill me before he takes a second look at me, he'll say I look like a Coney Island chorus girl. But what could I do with $1.87" Meaning she actually does cut her hair off. Jim says, "You've cut off your hair?" He was shocked that she had her hair cut.

    While Sammy was focusing on the aisle they were currently in; he couldn’t help notice that the three girls were not wearing any shoes! Sammy describes the first girl, “There was this chunky one, with the two piece- -it was bright green and the seams on the bra were still sharp and her belly was still pretty pale”. As the girls are walking his attention goes to the second girl Sammy describes her as, “the kind of girl other girls think is very, “striking” and, “attractive” but never quite makes it.” As Sammy is still taking his sweet time to keep his eyes on the girls he gets to look at the third girl who Sammy describes as a, “prima donna.” Sammy sees that this last girl isn’t like the other two she is not paying attention to anything else in the store and walking around as if she owned the place.

    Tooth And Claw Boyle Analysis

    “Daria rose and came to me with a look of wonder. ‘Don’t do a thing till I get off, O.K.?’ and in her favor she took hold of my arm. ‘I get off at nine, so you wait, O.K.?’” Daria is falsely identifying herself to James (unconsciously or consciously) she begins to lead him on. James believes she is interested in him but she is really interested, excited and curious about the cat and the moment, she is in for the ride. Daria has her own motives, it seems she does not really care about James. They go shopping together to buy essentials for the cat, Daria in control of the situation and in complete disregard for James. “I watched Daria march up and down the aisles seeking out kitty litter and the biggest cat pan they had…’I’ve only got ten bucks,’ I said…she reached back to slip the band of her ponytail so that her hair fell glistening across her shoulders, a storm of hair, fluid and loose, the ends trailing down her back like liquid in motion. She tossed her head impatiently. ‘You do have a credit card, don’t you?’” Daria is subtly flirting with James; she is leading him on again so that she will get what she wants. She does not care whether he has any money; she is so interested and curious about the animal that she will do anything to get what she…

    Character Analysis: Their Eyes Were Watching God By Zora Neale Hurston

    When Janie and Jody enter the town, they are greeted by the town calling Jody the Mayor. The town’s people eventually gather around Jody and Janie and Jody makes a speech. Janie is soon asked to make a speech but Janie is stopped by Jody. “Thank yuh fuh yo’ compliments, but mah wife don’t know nothin’ ‘bout no speech-makin’. Ah never married her for nothin’ lak dat. She’s uh woman and her place is in de home,”Jody (Hurston Pg 43). This quote reveals to us a small impression of what Jody is going to be like throughout the story. He is showing a little bit of male dominance and silences Janie to keep her from saying anything unrelated. Jody says that they are married, but they actually never get married. Throughout the story of the relationship with Jody is assumed that they are married. As Mayor, Jody plans to build a store and a post office. Jody forces Janie to work in the store and tie her hair in a rag. As Janie’s relationship with Jody moves on, we are able to see that her hair represents her own independence. Janie’s hair is long and beautiful but Jody is keeping her from showing it and by doing that, Janie gives up her independence to Jody. This also helps Janie in a way to find freedom to her own independence. Janie begins to notice that Jody is very old and becomes very ill. Janie calls for a doctor and the doctor says that he will die soon. Janie takes this advantage to talk to him one last time. “…Ah ain’t gointuh…

    Their Eyes Were Watching God Theme

    “It was a cityfied, stylish dressed man with his hat set at an angle that didn’t belong in these parts. His coat was over his arm, but he didn’t need it to represent his clothes. The shirt with the silk sleeve holders was dazzling enough for the world. He whistled, mopped his face and walked like he knew where he was going. He was a seal-brown color but he acted like Mr. Washburn or somebody like that to Janie” (///). Blindsighted by his style and appearance, Janie most likely assumes that his good looks translate to a good life and a promising relationship compared to Logan, who is ugly, rude, and shows no tendencies to even try to achieve the type of love that Janie is looking for. In love with the idea of being in love, Janie runs off with Joe, seeing him as a symbol for freedom and a better life. However, once Janie and Joe get settled into their relationship, Joe becomes controlling and expects Janie to behave in certain ways. To keep attention from men at bay, Joe has Janie hide her hair. “This business of the head-rag irked her endlessly. But Jody was set on it. Her hair was NOT going to show in the store. It didn’t seem sensible at all. That was because Joe never told Janie how jealous he was. He never told her how often he had seen the other men figuratively wallowing in it as she went about things in the store. And one night he had caught Walter standing behind and brushing the back of his hand back…

    Creative Writing: Mario And Peaches

    “A long day at the beach deserves some good ole’ pizza.” Kiyah cleans up the water and the broken glass off of the floor and sits down next to Mickey and asks “Hey Mick, what happened and where is Mario?”. When he tells her the story she gets upset and begins crying. She throws him outside and tells him to get lost. He is standing outside on the porch for a while hoping she didn’t mean it and she would let him back in. In about 10 minutes he begins to walk away because he realizes she isn’t going to change her mind about him, and he really does need to find another home. “Maybe I will find a family with no fish so I won’t have to go through this. Maybe they won’t put me out after forgetting to feed me”. Mickey says to himself as he is walking away. He keeps walking and never looks back, because he knows that there is no return. In the end, Mickey realizes that if he would have just been honest to Peaches from the start he would not have lost her as a friend. He also realizes that if he would have just talked to Mario and found out why Mario did not like him, none of this would have ever…
