    Marie-Laure had always been curious and questioned what ordinary people did. “‘Why not,’ she asks, ‘just take the diamond and throw it into the sea?’” (pg. 23). When she went blind however, even small tasks seemed daunting, and her father had to help her regain her courage. The Nazi’s invasion of France forces her to use that courage and not lose her mind in a seemingly difficult situation. “‘You did well, Marie-Laure. I’m proud.’” (pg. 117) says her father as they evacuate the city. Upon reaching Etienne’s house, Marie-Laure and her father settle down before her father is summoned back to the museum. However, he gets arrested along the way and sent to a German prison camp. Marie-Laure is fearful for her father despite his reassuring letters that he is alright. She becomes more secluded and isolates herself out of worry, “Only then, with her toes and fingers in the cold sea, does her mind seem to fully leave her father; only then does she stop wondering how much of his letter was true, when he’ll write again, why he has been imprisoned.”…

    Feeling sorry for someone, but not agreeing with them. As humans we have all felt this feeling at least once in our lifetime. In the book The Awakening, by “Kate Chopin” Kate Chopin sympathizes with the main character Edna but doesn’t pity her. I agree with Kate, because even though she’s married with Leonce a man that she doesn't love and has children with him, she is still free not attached to him at all. Another reason I agree with Kate is that she doesn’t pity Edna. She spends time and loves Robert rather than loving her own husband.…

    Nichols and May’s skills as storytellers lie in their understanding of human relationships, a mastery that is expressed in the sketch through their delivery of character. The improvisational nature of Nichols and May’s dynamic is apparent in the conversational tone of this sketch. Nichols and May play off each other well and develop the relationship between the mother and son in a short amount of time. The dysfunction of this relationship drives the scene by creating conflict, which the characters exploit to the fullest extent. For instance, the mother in the sketch begins the call normally and proceeds to guilt trip her son with hyperbolized ¬¬reactions. May’s delivery emphasizes the nagging, worrisome traits of the character. The exaggeration of her character’s dysfunction is the focus of humor in the skit. However, once the sketch breaks down to reveal the emotional truth of the characters, the growing distance in the relationship between mother and son, a sense of gravitas hits the audience and asks us to consider our the…

    The factor that helped Salva to survive, was the fact that his Uncle Jewiir finds hims among the group of people. Linda Sue Park writes “‘Salva!’ the man said… ‘Uncle!’ he cried out… ‘Eh, Nephew’ he said… ‘We are together now, so I will look after you!’” (34-35). This quote shows that Salva was alone before he found Uncle Jewiir, but after he found him he felt better. Another challenge that Salva faced was when the group was walking in the desert, and Salva stubbed his toe on a rock, and wanted to give up. But, Uncle Jewiir gave Salva inspirational words, that motivated him. A quote from the novel A Long Walk to Water says “Salva stubbed his bare toe on a rock, and his whole toenail came off. The pain was terrible… He lowered his head, and tears began to flow… ‘Do you see that group of bushes?’ Uncle said… ‘You need only to walk as far as those bushes.” (Park 53-54). This quote shows that Salva was able to endure the pain of stubbing his toe and continue on with his journey because of the motivational words from Uncle Jewiir.…
