CLAUDIO

'Tis certain so; the prince wooes for himself. Friendship is constant in all other things Save in the office and affairs of love: Therefore, all hearts in love use their own tongues; Let every eye negotiate for itself And trust no agent; for beauty is a witch Against whose charms faith melteth into blood. This is an accident of hourly proof, Which I mistrusted not. Farewell, therefore, Hero!

BORACHIO

...I have to-night wooed Margaret, the Lady Hero's gentlewoman, by the name of Hero: she leans me out at her mistress' chamber-window, bids me a thousand times good night,--I tell this tale vilely:--I should first tell thee how the prince, Claudio and my master, planted and placed and possessed by my master Don John, saw afar off in the orchard this amiable encounter.

DON JOHN

...go but with me to-night, you shall see her chamber-window entered, even the night before her wedding-day: if you love her then, to-morrow wed her; but it would better fit your honour to change your mind.

...he is the prince's jester: a very dull fool; only his gift is in devising impossible slanders: none but libertines delight in him; and the commendation is not in his wit, but in his villany; for he both pleases men and angers them, and then they laugh at him and beat him.

BEATRICE

...he lent me [his heart] awhile; and I gave him use for it, a double heart for his single one: marry, once before he won it of me with false dice, therefore your grace may well say I have lost it.

DON JOHN

...though I cannot be said to be a flattering honest man, it must not be denied but I am a plain-dealing villain...If I had my mouth, I would bite; if I had my liberty, I would do my liking: in the meantime let me be that I am and seek not to alter me.

Here comes Beatrice. By this day! she's a fair lady: I do spy some marks of love in her.

extended metaphor for the boats

The extended metaphor and comparison is a boat to a person. The boat enters the tide and when carries out into sea and when it turns around or changed course, you trust it to move forward and the wind to guide you. The boat keeps its eyes on water and sails though rough waters. A person enters a situation or relationship and they trust that they will keep going and be carried by that other partner or perhaps God. They turn their back and let the partner help them go over bumpy waters and allows you to see the positive side. Ship becomes the person. Ships are always girls.

theme of american translation

The parable that opens this section of the book highlights the irrational nature of superstitious beliefs, but also emphasizes the deep wisdom that often lies hidden inside them. The mother's seemingly ridiculous paranoia about the positioning of the mirror annoys her daughter, who wants to decorate her new home according to her own wishes, to make her own decisions based on her own reasoning. here may indeed be some truth to the grandchild's presence in the mirror, because the grandchild will, in many ways, be a reflection of the daughter, just as the daughter reflects many of her own mother's qualities. It seems that perhaps the daughter, who is impatient with her mother's superstitious beliefs, has underestimated her mother's insight. In any case, what does shine clearly from the mirror is the mother's deep love for her daughter. MOTHERS REFLECT DAUGHTERS

Mr. Shimerda

how does blessing of the boats relate to JLC

The poem vaguely describes all the mother- daughter relationships in The Joy Luck Club. All the relationships the mothers are or want to be the background that leads their children. They want to be the wind and the boat. "... the wind then turn from it certain that it will love your back...". They all came or were brought to America to start better lives and give opportunities to their children. They wanted their daughters to "... open your eyes to water water waving forever...". Lindo wanted Waverly to be better at her chess even though she was already a champion. Waverley felt that her mother was against her but all her mother wanted to do was be her "wind" and teach her the art of invisible strength. The relationship that this poem best connects with is Suyuan and Jing-mei. Suyuan wanted to carry Jing- mei far on her boat and open her to opportunities, but Jing-mei would not try to "turn" her back to her mother and let her support her. Instead, they fight and it is not until after Suyuan's death that Jing-mei finally begins to see that her mother wanted her to place trust in her and allow Suyuna to guide her though the waves. Chinese sailing to a new journey and becoming a new dream . they are sailing away from something they know to go on a journey to a new land. perhaps passing through an old life in china to a new life in america - it is bitter sweet. also tells to trust mothers and listen to them

Mrs. Gardener

The proprietress of the Boys' Home in Black Hawk.

Alliteration

The repetition of sounds at the beginning of words, such as "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers."

Using your knowledge of sensory language, explain how the sensory language seen in the above poem makes the speaker's firsthand experience vivid and engaging.

The speaker's use of auditory and visual imagery makes the poem very interesting and engaging. "I hear the sounds of the different missiles, the short t-h-t! t-h-t! of the rifle balls, I see the shells exploding leaving small white clouds, I hear the great shells shrieking as they pass..." This quote allows us to see and hear the scene very clearly. We have never experienced anything like this scene because we were not alive during the Civil War times and have never been to war, so Whitman makes sure to illustrate the noises and sights during this time. "With the patter of small arms, the warning s-s-t of the rifles, (these in my vision I hear or see,) And bombs bursting in air, and at night the vari-color'd rockets." Whitman makes his poem engaging by describing the scene vividly because he understand that his audience has never experienced war.

connection of 26 to wavely

The story of Waverly concludes with her getting frustrated with her mother and running away. This is because her and her mother got in an argument, similar to when the daughter in "The Twenty- Six Malignant Gates" deals with her mother by biking away from the situation.

ying- ying thousand

The story of Ying Ying St. Clair is central to the theme of emotional sacrifice. When Ying Ying was little she has a lot of spunk and was a very energetic child. But on the night of the moon lady Ying Ying began to realize that she was losing herself. "I did not lose myself all at once. I rubbed out my face over the years washing away my pain, the same way carvings on stone are worn down by water," (Tan 67). She felt that she didn't quite fit in and that she was not who she used to be. On the night of the moon lady the thing she desperately wished for was "to be found," (Tan 83).

According to the narrator, what is one constant reoccurring theme in Human History?

post colonialism

This branch of theory deals with the literature of colonisation (usually of a Third World country by the West) and its effect on the people and the culture of the colonised country. Post Colonialism The postcolonial style of writing is a branch of post-modern literature concerned with the political and cultural independence of peoples formerly subjugated in colonial empires. It deals with the conflicts between ruler and subject, mainstream and marginalized, oppressors and oppressed and, at the same time, celebrates the suppressed "other," challenging the dominant culture and questioning concepts of established authority

concluding unity

This means that the appearance (or disguises and trickery) will be dissolved and reality will be restored. Since the events of the play rely upon some deception, the deception must be discovered and brought home to each character; thus, the source of the mistakes and complications becomes known.

how does vision connect to JLC

This poem is similar to the Joy Luck Club in many ways. Similar to Tan's characters, the speaker has a vision or flashback. He recalls a memory, perhaps because it was tragic or happy or sad, and adds a little bit of imagination to the story. Likewise in Tan's story, the mothers have visions. The visions are very significant to them and show a point in which their life changed. An example is the story of Lingo Jong. Her life was transformed when she was married her husband and she no longer thought the same way as before. Something inside of her changed and she internally became a new person. Perhaps the war was an important turning point to the speaker and he vividly remember it because it is the day his life changed, for better or worse. I also believe that Tan's characters have added a bit of imagination to their visions to make them better just as the soldier might have further described his story. An example is June's mother. Her story of the foundation of the Joy Luck Club was always changing. This poem describes how the characters have important visons and memories that changed their lives. It helps me better understand that Tan's characters stories are significant in the lives of each mother/daughter. they also both have the haunting power of hardship that maks them remember - personal

how does thousand li connect to suyuan woo

This relates to the theme because both Suyuan and the mother from the story escaped from China and moved to America, in hope of a better life. Both mothers died without telling the daughters something of importance and meaning. The woman wanted to tell her daughter about the swan feather and Suyuan planned to tell June about her other siblings, she left behind in China. Both mothers wanted the best for their children, so they could succeed in America and have a good life. They made enormous sacrifices for their children, by moving to America, even though they didn't understand the language or culture.

What was the main theme of the story? Hint: It has a word associated with it.

Timshel. You have a choice, you may, not you will. You can choose.

relationship of lindo and waverly

Waverly considers her mother her enemy. Once Waverly learns and masters chess, Lindo is very proud of her daughter and brags about her to anyone who is willing to listen. Lindo wants Waverly to have "American" opportunities but with Chinese customs. Waverly is extremely disrespectful to her mother and even acts ashamed to have Lindo as her mother, because of the way Lindo acts in public with Waverly, making it seem like Lindo is the one causing Waverly's genius. Waverly also feels pressure from her mom to do well at chess, and Waverly may be cracking under Lindo's pressure.

signs of animals during the visits

When Antoinette sees a cock crowing outside Christophine's house, she immediately wonders if her old nurse can be trusted. Antoinette recognizes that the animal is a sign, thinking, "That is for betrayal." Rochester, on the other hand, does not look for symbols in the natural landscape; as an outsider, he fails to correctly read the language of the West Indies. When he leaves Daniel's house, Rochester, too, encounters an animal, a black and white goat with "slanting yellow-green eyes." However, he does not recognize the animal's symbolic value as a representation of Daniel's mixed race and contrary nature.
