No Rainbow No Roses
No Rainbow, No Roses
In the reading "No Rainbow, No Roses" of Beverly P. Dipo reports about the last minute of the patient who is called Mrs. Trane. The writer does everything for the Mrs. Trane without asking, because he knows Mrs. Trane is dying and he has no time to do anything for her. Even though, this is a very first time the writer know Mrs. Trane but he doesn't know why he has a lot of passion when he sees her. He has used many senses of human in this reading to express his emotion; such as auditory, visual and sensory. Mrs. Trane does not want her family see her die, but another reason that she also doesn't want to die alone that's why she wants the writer to stay there with her.
What would you do if tomorrow is the end of world? Will you do a best thing for any one? Most of people will say they will eat, sleep, play, love or shop till the end of world comes, they think for themselves before they think for others. Nowadays, people's lifestyle are very selfish, they can do everything just get what they want, but sometimes people forget that between the busy life still exist the thing is called humanity.
I have read the article from internet that the son hit his mom because she did not listen to him and did what he wanted. Or the son chased his parents out of the house because of the brothers jealousy. The relationship between parents and children are very close and nothing can change or replace it. But how can some people are so betrayal their parents. Everyone has one father and one mother, and no one in the earth can love us as our parents, we should respect our parents when they are still alive. In another article that I have read, some of people who live around us still have a charity heart, they help people without reason that people love to bring happiness to unlucky people. A lot of charities are organized around the world, that make everybody know in this world there are still many humane feeling, always ready to help them whenever they need.

    In the opening of this story, the narrator is closed-minded to the idea of a blind man entering his home. “A blind man in my house is not something I looked forward to” (1). It is through his resistance that we are introduced to his insecurities, and the layer of doubt that overcomes him. He is a simple man who lives a simple life. He loves his wife, but is not even sure what the love he has with her entails. His wife is a very expressive woman, using poetry to describe feeling and emotion. He is dismissive of her talent and more obviously, of her. “I can remember I didn’t think much of the poem. Of course, I didn’t tell her that... something to read” (1). They’re lack of communication is what draws the woman even closer to the blind man. She shares an intimate and emotional bond with him that she has never been able to establish with the narrator.…

    The narrator was not happy about the visit, for he was bothered with Robert’s blindness because he thinks that not being able to see means being helpless. He even pities Robert’s deceased wife for the reason that Robert could never look at her physically, but what the narrator fails to see is how Robert intimately understands his late wife and how he is able to see her in a non-physical way. Even though the narrator has the gift of sight, he has difficulty understanding people’s thought and feelings. He is judgmental and close-minded, for he does not understand the relationship between his wife and Robert. However, his perspective towards blind people has changed that night. Robert showed him how blind people see the world around them by the two of them drawing a cathedral with his eyes closed. Even though Robert is blind, he made the wife happy by taking the time to listen to her and opened the narrator’s mind to life’s…

    The philosopher Alan Gewirth defines self-fulfillment as “carrying to fruition one's deepest desires or one's worthiest capacities”. He notes, “to seek for a good human life is to seek for self-fulfillment.” The short story “The Glass Roses” by Alden Nowlan suggests throughout an individual’s pursuit of self-fulfillment, one may discover hardship, confusion and doubt; however it is a journey one must take in finding and accepting one’s true self. Through the character Stephen, the arduous journey to discovering oneself is apparent by the character’s environment, societal expectations, influences of associated people, and life-changing moments one encounters.…

    True Notebooks

    Every child wants to be someone in life but in order for them to be successful they need the support from their family. How could teenagers achieve that when their parents aren’t there to guide them in the right path? Therefore, they look for comfort and guidance somewhere else and end up with the wrong crowd. For example, Victor Martinez said, “ They don’t know what it’s like when you come from a family that didn’t have a father there to guide you in the right path” (Salzman 290).” Parents are the ones who guide us and teach us from right and wrong. Lacking his father in his life made a big impact on Victor’s life. He didn’t have that male influence that was able to be there to discipline him when doing wrong. For example, one article titled “The Lost Boys” mentioned “Teenage boys need very different treatment to girls in order to become responsible members of society. They need a male role model” (Sergeant). Of course, he had his mother but a mother can only do so much and be firm with a child compared to a male figure. A single mother is also working the majority of the time to support her kids. A young teenage boy having the absences of a parent will make a teenager vulnerable and turn to the streets to look for that support and love that they don’t get from home. They end up joining a gang and a mother probably doesn’t even realize the things they are doing because they are so occupied with work. So Victor not having his…

    She remembered the last labored breaths her mother had taken, each a struggle for one last moment of life. She remembered watching that same life pass out of her as she heaved her last, and how it had not been quiet and tranquil as movies and books made dying moments out to be. It had been obvious that her last few moments were filled with pain, as it tried its hardest to catch her one last time before she could physically feel it no more. Her soul had passed on, and her body was no longer hers.…

The parents did fail to give them tough love, sometimes tough love is very hard to show to your kids who did something wrong.

    Our interpretation of belonging varies as we all have different views about the feeling of being accepted, comfortable in a group or sharing a connection towards something. The concept of belonging and not belonging differ and are shaped by his or her personal, cultural, historical and social context. The prescribed text ‘Rainbow’s End’ by Jane Harrison and the related text ‘Once Upon a Time in Cabramatta’ directed by Jacob Hickey are composed of many different aspects of belonging which gives the viewer a greater and in-depth understanding of belonging and not belonging. The main themes include racism, alienation, discrimination and isolation which associate with the concept of belonging as it focuses and supports the idea of fitting into society. Although both texts are set in different historical times, they both expand on the same misadventure when people living on the ‘fringe’ had to deal with the exclusion and judgements by the white people. In today’s society, our perception of belonging and not belonging has changed over time where people now understand the sense of being included, being known or connected to something.…
