The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe “It's No Good, Son of Adam,” Said The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe “It’s no good, Son of Adam,” said Mr. Beaver, “no good your trying, of all people. But now that Aslan is on the move---” “Oh, yes! Tell us about Aslan!” said several voices at once; for once again that strange feeling---like the first signs of spring, like good news, had come over them. “Who is Aslan?” asked Susan. “Aslan?” said Mr. Beaver. “Why, don’t you know? He is King. He’s the Lord of the whole wood, but not often here, you understand. Never in my time of my father’s time. But the word has reached us that he has come back. He is in Narnia at this moment. He’ll settle the White Queen all right. It is he, not you, that will save Mr. Tumnus.” “She won’t turn him into stone too?” said Edmund. “Lord love you, Son of Adam, what a simple thing to say!” answered Mr. Beaver with a great laugh. “Turn him into stone?” If she can stand on her two feet and look him in the face it’ll be the most she can do and more than I expect of her. No, no. He’ll put all to rights as it says in an old rhyme in these parts: Wrong will be right, when Aslan comes in sight At the sound of his roar, sorrows will be no more, When he bares his teeth, winter meets its death, And when he shakes his mane, we shall have spring Again. You’ll understand when you see him. A Christmas Carol Charles Dickens Holding up his hands in one last prayer to have his fate reversed, he saw an alteration of the Phantom’s hood and dress. It shrunk, collapsed, and dwindled down into a bedpost. Yes! And the bedpost was his own. The bed was his own, the room was his own, the room was his own. Best and happiest of all, the Time before him was his own, to make amends in! “I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future!” Scrooge repeated, as he scrambled out of bed. “The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. Oh Jacob Marley! Heaven, and Christmas Time be praised for this! I say it on my knees, old Jacob; on my knees! He was so flustered and so glowing with his good intentions, that his broken voice would scarcely answer to his call. He had been sobbing violently in his conflict with the Spirit, and his face was wet with tears… “I don’t know what to do!” cried Scrooge, laughing and crying in the same breath; and making a perfect Laocoon of himself with his stockings. “I am as light as a feather, I am as happy as an angel. I am as merry as a school-boy. I am as giddy as a drunken man. Merry Christmas to everybody! A Happy New Year to all the world. Hallo here! Whoop! Hallo!”... Really, for a man who had been out of practice for so many years, it was a splendid laugh, a most illustrious laugh. The father of a long, long line of brilliant laughs! October 2019 A Tale of Two Cities Charles Dickens It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way---in short, the period was so far like the present period that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only. May 2019 Anne of Green Gables Lucy Maud Montgomery When Anne was finished washing the dinner dishes, she suddenly confronted Marilla with the air and expression of one desperately determined to learn the worst. Her thin little body trembled from head to foot; her face flushed and her eyes dilated until they were almost black; she clasped her hands tightly and said in an imploring voice; “Oh please, Miss Cuthbert, won’t you tell me if you are going to send me away or not? I’ve tried to be patient all the morning, but I really feel that I cannot bear not knowing any longer. It’s a dreadful feeling. Please tell me.” “You haven’t scalded the dishcloth, in clean hot water as I told you to do.” said Marilla immovably. “Just go and do it before you ask any more questions, Anne.” Anne went and attended to the dishcloth. Then she returned to Marilla and fastened imploring eyes on the latter’s face. “Well,” said Marilla, unable to find any excuse for deferring her explanation longer, “I suppose I might as well tell you. Matthew and I have decided to help you-that is, if you will try to be a good little girl and show yourself grateful. ‘Why, child, whatever is the matter?” “I’m crying,” said Anne in a tone of bewilderment. “I can’t think why. I’m glad as glad can be. Oh, glad doesn’t seem the right word at all. I was glad about the White Way and the Cherry blossoms-but this? Oh, it’s something more than glad. I’m so happy. I’ll try to be so good. It will be uphill work, I expect, for Mrs. Thomas often told me I was desperately wicked. However, I’ll do my very best. But can you tell me why I’m crying?” October 2019 Anne of Green Gables L.M. Montgomery “I’m just as ambitious as ever. Only I’ve changed the object of my ambitions. I’m going to be a good teacher-and I’m going to save your eyesight! Besides, I mean to study at home here and take a little college course all by myself. Oh, I’ve dozens of plans Marilla. I’ve been thinking them out for a week and I shall give life here my best, and I believe it will give its best to me in return. When I left Queens my future seemed to stretch out before me like a straight road. I thought I could see it along for many a milestone. Now there is a bend in it. I don’t know what lies around the bend, but I’m going to believe that the best does. It has a fascination of its own that bend, Marilla. I wonder how the road beyond it goes- what there is of green glory and soft, checkered light and shadows- what new landscapes- what new beauties- what curves and hills and valleys further on.” Anne’s horizons had closed in since the night she had sat there after coming home from Queen’s; but if the path set before her feet was to be narrow she knew that flowers of quiet happiness would bloom along it. The joys of sincere work and worthy aspirations and congenial friendship were to be hers; nothing could rob her of her birthright of fancy or her ideal world of dreams. And there was always the bend in the road! “God’s in his heaven, all’s right with the world,” whispered Anne softly. October 2019 Anne of Green Gables L.M. Montgomery Matthew Cuthbert is Surprised “Dreams don’t often come true, do they? Wouldn’t it be nice if they did? But just now I feel pretty nearly perfectly happy. I can’t feel exactly perfectly happy because- --well, what color would you call this?” She twitched one of her long glossy braids over her thin shoulder and held it up before Matthew’s eyes. Matthew was not used to deciding on the tints of ladies’ tresses, but in this case there couldn’t be much doubt. “It’s red, ain’t it?” he said. The girl let the braid drop back with a sigh that seemed to come from her very toes and to exhale forth all the sorrows of the ages. “Yes, it’s red,” she said resignedly. “Now you see why I can’t be perfectly happy. Nobody could who has red hair. I don’t mind the other things so much---the freckles and the green eyes and my skinniness. I can imagine them away. I can imagine that I have a beautiful rose-leaf complexion and lovely starry violet eyes. But I cannot imagine that red hair away. I do my best. I think to myself, ‘Now my hair is a glorious black, black as a raven’s wing.’ But all the time I know it is just plain red and it breaks my heart. It will be my lifelong sorrow.” I read of a girl once in a novel who had a lifelong sorrow but it wasn’t red hair. Her hair was pure gold rippling back from her alabaster brow. ‘What is an alabaster brow? I never could find out. Can you tell me?” October 2019 Dr. Dolittle Hugh Lofting “One afternoon when the Doctor was busy writing in a book, Polynesia sat in a window, as she nearly always did, looking out at the leaves blowing about in the garden. Presently she laughed aloud. ‘What is it, Polynesia?’ asked the Doctor, looking up from his book.

I had always wanted to be a novelist and finally got around to being serious about it when I moved to London to do a master’s degree in creative writing in 2008. In terms of the idea for the book, my grand- mother, who died really quickly after I moved to London, was a very complicated person. Nick is definitely not her, but my grandmother partially inspired the character—the idea of someone complicated who can at once be glamorous and lovely to one person and be totally suppressive to someone else. What attracted you to writing about these three decades, starting in the forties, right after the Second World War, and ending in the late sixties, before you were born? In a lot of ways, it was this idea of people trying to be individuals post–World War II, when you were not really supposed to be individ- ualistic. The world was supposed to have been made whole—everyone was better and put on a happy face. It was a great time period to TigersInredWeather_TPtextF1.indd 3 4/30/13 1:04 PM NOID 2013-04-11 18:55:06 361 A conv4 er• sation Reading with GroupLiza Klaussmann Guide put characters like these in motion because the social barriers against achieving any kind of individualism or human agency were so strong.

    THE RED ROOM H.G. Wells Gothic Digital Series @ UFSC FREE FOR EDUCATION The Red Room H.G. Wells (March 1896, The Idler) “I CAN assure you,” said I, “that it will take a very tangible ghost to frighten me.” And I stood up before the fire with my glass in my hand. “It is your own choosing,” said the man with the withered arm, and glanced at me askance. “Eight-and-twenty years,” said I, “I have lived, and never a ghost have I seen as yet.” The old woman sat staring hard into the fire, her pale eyes wide open. “Ay,” she broke in; “and eight-and-twenty years you have lived and never seen the likes of this house, I reckon. There’s a many things to see, when one’s still but eight-and-twenty.” She swayed her head slowly from side to side. “A many things to see and sorrow for.” I half suspected the old people were trying to enhance the spiritual terrors of their house by their droning insistence. I put down my empty glass on the table and looked about the room, and caught a glimpse of myself, abbreviated and broadened to an impossible sturdiness, in the queer old mirror at the end of the room. “Well,” I said, “if I see anything tonight, I shall be so much the wiser. For I come to the business with an open mind.” “It’s your own choosing,” said the man with the withered arm once more. I heard the faint sound of a stick and a shambling step on the flags in the passage outside.

  • The Trouble with Paradise: Exploring Communities of Difference in Three American Novels
    The Trouble With Paradise: Exploring Communities of Difference in Three American Novels by Blair Nosan The Trouble With Paradise: Exploring Communities of Difference in Three American Novels by Blair Nosan A thesis presented for the B. A. degree with Honors in The Department of English University of Michigan Spring 2008 © March 17, 2008 Blair Elizabeth Nosan Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank my advisor, Anne Herrmann, for her discerning eye and her vital input throughout this writing process. Scotti Parrish for her encouragement and willingness to devote time and concern to the entire thesis cohort. Her support has been indispensable. And Megan Sweeney for her inspiration, and her suggestion of resources—including two of the three novels I have analyzed as primary sources. I am indebted to Eileen Pollack, who was willing to meet with me and provide a personal interview, which was central to my analysis of her work. I have also benefited from the support of my roommates, Peter Schottenfels, Jacob Nathan, and Anna Bernstein, who have provided me with a respite, which was often greatly needed. To my friend Claire Smith who edited this essay in its entirety, and to Nicole Cohen, the 2008 honors cohort, and my sister Loren: these individuals devoted their time and effort to my project and I am very grateful. Finally, I want to thank my family, who not only supported my decision to remain at university for an extra year in order to pursue this very thesis, but also for providing me with emotional guidance throughout this rollercoaster of an experience.

That is true in nature, and that is true in our lives as well. In nature, there are different types of storms. There are thunderstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes, and blizzards. In the lives of people, there are also different types of storms. Storms sometimes appear in the form of an illness, an accident, the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, a divorce, or some other tragedy. Some storms, like tornadoes, come suddenly and unexpectedly. A phone call from the doctor can suddenly change your life. An automobile accident can instantly take the life of a loved one. A declining economy can cost you your job. A change of heart by one person can literally tear an entire family apart. These and other such storms can be devastating. They often leave people confused and angry.

  • Five Facets of the Pentagon in the Convent of Toni Morrison's Paradise
    International Journal on Studies in English Language and Literature (IJSELL) Volume 4, Issue 3, March 2016, PP 1-9 ISSN 2347-3126 (Print) & ISSN 2347-3134 (Online) www.arcjournals.org Five Facets of the Pentagon in the Convent of Toni Morrison’s Paradise R.M.Prabha Ph.D. Scholar ManonmaniamSundaranar University Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu [email protected] Abstract: Paradise is Toni Morrison’s seventh novel and is published in the year 1997. The structure of the novel is complex involving many characters in the historical background of Afro-American black people. The novel describes the story of a black community in 1990s in Oklahoma. The novel also discusses the way in which the community built and lived in a town called Ruby. The town was near a convent, in which five women lived together. They were happy and free from any form of oppression from the community. The novel Paradise is all about the story of the dispute between these two communities. The five women of the convent are different from each other and reach the convent for diverse reasons. The women differ from each other in their thought, deed and actions. Analysis of their personality reveals their varied nature and interestingly their traits match well with the five different types of the ‘Five Factor Model of Personality traits’ of human beings. This paper analyses the personality of these five women and discusses the unique way in which Toni Morrison has crafted these characters in such a way that it fits unerringly with the five common traits of the Personality model of human beings.
