Life is not a bed of roses
LIFE IS NOT A BED OF ROSES !!!
Life is not a bed of roses. It is full of thorns. There are numerous ups and downs in life. It is like a stream of river which flows through a no. of phases. Hope is the only power in us which makes us stand at different phases of life. It is truly said that ’Failures are the Pillars of
Success’. This can be only proved by trials which only come when we have a hope to do something. Life is nothing but just a sub total of few hours and days. In this life, people want to achieve everything without efforts, but it never happens because as stated above life is full of thorns so everyone has to do efforts to achieve something in life. If life is going for you, then never take it for granted because as said above life is full of difficulties. In his life if a man puts all his efforts it is not necessary that he will be crowned with success. However, no obstacle could stand in the way of iron will and strong determination. A person has to always keep a strong will to complete any work. Life can be stated as two sides of a coin, the two sides are referred to the ups and downs of life. The difficulties that come in our life are not to make us feel defeated but come to bring perfection in us and the challenges come in our life to test our courage and will and also to increase them. Life is not a bed of roses or bed of

thorns it depends on what we make it by our efforts.
Happy and sad movements are a part of life and if one not faces the sad movement, he would not understand the worth of happy movements. Life never waits for anyone and keeps on flowing like a river. We have to come up to get success. If we face the obstacles in life, the success will be waiting for us at the doorsteps. ‘God help those who help themselves’. Therefore, we should start facing the problems of life if we want success.

Life has all sorts of hard spots but if you keep trying you will get out of those ruts of life. there is many different types of adversity such as trying and trying but failing at something over in over but you have to keep trying according to "The man in the arena" Theodore Roosevelt "who strives valiantly; who errs, who does actually strive to do good deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotion;who spend himself worthy of cause; who at the best knows in the end triumph of high achievements , and who at the worst, if he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat" another example is in the poem by Langston Hughes mother to son "life for me ain't been no crystal stair its had tacks in it,and splinters,and boards torn up,and places with no carpet on the floor,bare. But all the time ,i'se been climbin' on....." you are the master of your fate and the captain of your soul according to William Ernest Henley in the poem…

    Ethan Mordden, in his book ‘Coming Up Roses’ sums up Gypsy as a musical “about how your mother destroys you” (1998, p.245). The musical originally opened in 1959 on Broadway with a book by Arthur Laurents, music by Jule Styne and lyrics by a young Stephen Sondheim, and was most recently revived in a production directed by Jonathan Kent at the Chichester Festival in 2014 before moving to the Savoy Theatre in 2015. It tells the story of the famous stripper Gypsy Rose Lee, but the real star of the show is her mother ‘Momma’ Rose (played by Imelda Staunton), whose character commands the stage and the plot with a vice-like grip (Wolf, 2002). Rose pushes her two daughters ‘Baby’ June (played by Gemma Sutton) and Louise (Lara Pulver) in the world of vaudeville, and eventually pushes Louise into the world of burlesque, leading her to become Gypsy Rose Lee. This is essay will look at the role of the mother within Gypsy, and the relationship mother-daughter relationship as a central relationship, starting with an analysis of the characterisation of Rose and then moving on to examine the…

    Analysis of The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway reveals one of Hemingway’s most ambiguous ways of keeping the characters faithful to themselves. Hemingway’s incorporation of Jake Barnes’ thoughts on others throughout the novel provides a misanthropic outlook on life that is changed only in the presence of his forbidden fruit, Lady Brett Ashley. Whenever the thought of Brett enters Jake’s mind, his narration coagulates and his once cynical precision turns into softened murkiness. Each of them know they cannot have the other yet, they cannot keep themselves apart. The two, whether blessed or cursed, are obligated to seek each other out and tempt their desires. By telling the story of Jake Barnes…

    Notes on a Rose for Emily

    | Significant & Visual Passages: a) “When Miss Emily Grierson died, our whole town went to her funeral: the men through a sort of respectful affection for a fallen monument,” “Alive, Miss Emily had been a tradition, a duty, and a care; a sort of hereditary obligation upon the town.” (P409)---Emily acts as an embodiment of the old tradition. She is the spiritual pillar of the people who still live in their old time. b) “None of the young men were quite good enough for Miss Emily and such. We had long thought of them as a tableau, Miss Emily a slender figure in white in the background, her father a spraddled silhouette in the foreground, his back to her and clutching a horsewhip, the two of them framed by the back-flung front door.” “We remembered all the young men her father had driven away, and we knew that with nothing left, she would have to cling to that which had robbed her, as people will.” (P411) “…beneath a mass of bought flowers, with the crayon face of her father musing profoundly above the bier and the ladies sibilant and macabre.”---The paternity leads to the tragedy at last. Emily’s father does not care of Emily at all, only taking her as one thing. He never thinks about his daughter’s expectation of marriage. He is always the authority at home, which means Emily does not any right to seek for her own life. Even after her death, she cannot get rid of her father’s control. c) “When we saw her again, her hair was cut short, making her look like a girl, with a vague resemblance to those angels in colored church windows-sort of tragic and serene.” (P411)---It shows that Emily wants to begin her new life. However, “sort of tragic and serene” also indicates her final tragic ending. d) “She carried her head high enough-even when we believed that she was fallen. It was as if she demanded more than ever the recognition of her dignity as the last Grierson; as if it had…

    A story requires two simple components: action and characters to drive the action. The way either element is presented is purely the decision of the author. The best stories make readers feel that they know the characters, so much so that the characters become real to the readers. This is the case in William Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily”. Faulkner does an impeccable job of introducing readers to Miss Emily, and through her actions he makes it clear what kind of person she is and why she is that way. Miss Emily is the result of the overkill of love’s protection, thus making her a proud, commanding, and lonely woman.…

    Have you ever read a story and half way through you could tell how the ending was going to turn out by obvious clues given? Or have you ever read a story as to where you thought you knew what was going to happen next, then come to find out that you were completely on the wrong track? Point of view, which is how a story is told, can be expressed in four different categories of: first person, limited omniscient, omniscient, and objective. The point of view chosen can either produce the intended effect that the author had created, or can confuse or distract the reader.…
