Meg Murley Like And Equal Quotes
At the beginning of the novel, Meg was self-deprecating and somewhat insecure. She was in her attic bedroom, pondering on how “It’s the weather on top of everything else. On top of me. On top of Meg Murry doing everything wrong” (Page 7). This quote shows how little she thinks of herself; how she thinks she does “Everything Wrong”. This also shows what little confidence she has, again through her doing “Everything Wrong”.
In the middle of the novel, she accepted her differences, but didn’t fully embrace them; saying that “Like and equal are not the same thing at all”, (Page 150) as Charles Wallace said the citizens of Camazotz are equal through being the same, meaning that being like someone isn’t the same as being equal to someone. This quote

    Writing the sounds Malala Yousafzai heard whilst she was shot is really interesting. You can take this quote in many ways. First, she could have written it this way because she relives it when she writes. Repeating the same sound over and over represents someone being affected by a traumatic experience. Second, she is explaining that instead of thinking of her death, her body was trying to find ways to avoid shock. It’s similar to when you have a panic attack, you try and focus on one object to calm you down. So when she wrote this, she wanted the reader to imagine the butcher’s chopping rather than the gun shot because it’s what she did. Third, she wants the reader to know she was conscious then she was shot but not fully aware. Either way,…

    My Antonia Quote Analysis

    When thinking of how Jim defines happiness, I think that Antonia would disagree with this quote,”…to be dissolved into something complete and great, When it comes to one, it comes as naturally as sleep.” Throughout the book Antonia is ready to do everything right then at that time, and she doesn’t have the patience to wait on the good things to happen. Antonia is always ready to work and learn something new, but she lacks the patience to learn and to make sure she does it the right way. What Jim was saying is that, happiness comes at the right time, and that you cannot try to force it. The quote, “and I did not want to be anything more. I was entirely happy.” “Jim was glad that he felt like this in the hard times.” Also, another quote to…

    Her overall magnanimous tone is demonstrated in every single analogy she makes, which is, every single paragraph. She carries this tone through the ways that she describe how nice life is in a certain time period. Her provocative tone comes in when she tries to make the reader realize that the life she’s describing isn’t the ideal life. This is proven especially when she says “Or you take the next tribe’s pigs in thrilling raids; you grill yams; you trade for televisions and hunt white-plumed birds. Everyone you know agrees: this is the life.” She is explaining that this description was the ideal life in some point of time in the past and she is stimulating the audience to express how far life has improved since then. Her mocking tone comes in especially in the first paragraph where she is talking about how nice the life is now, the ideal life, the perfect life and right after she describes it, she becomes extremely blunt and says, “These are not universal. You enjoy work and will love your grandchildren, and somewhere in there you die.”…

    Melba makes it clear that she believes that all humans are equal. We are just human beings and the differences that we all have should be respected, “ If my Central High School experience taught me one lesson, it is that we are not separate. The task that remains is- to see ourselves reflected in every other human being and to respect and honor our differences (Beal’s 312).” This quote from the book really stuck with me. I believe that differences in people are what make them special and unique. If everyone looked the same, dressed the same and held all the same beliefs and values what a boring world we would live in.…

    She examines the difficulties faced between ones self in order to try and assimilate within the community and try and enrich her sense of belonging. It centres around belonging within her culture, her family and her friends, but also the issue of not belonging within her school. We see that she struggles to fit in her school, because of the differences there is between her and her peers. One of which that she is of Italian background, while they are predominantly Anglo-Saxon and she is also not as classy or as wealthy as they are. As quoted from the novel through the use of direct speech “at St. Martha’s its all about money, prestige and what your father does for a living. I’m surrounded by girls whose father’s treat them like princesses… they think that they have everything, and you know what? They do.” This ultimately depicts that she does not belong inside her school. She distances and alienates herself from her peers who fall into this category, limiting her sense of belonging to them, showing her anti-social behaviour due to her social barriers. Therefore, we can see that one can either belong or not belong by interacting with the people and…

    While pursuing revenge, it is said to start digging a grave along with the grave of the person being avenged. In Book 3, Chapter 14 of A Tale of Two Cities, Madame Defarge reaped that which she sowed.
