In Mattie's mind, Blanchard's balloon—“a yellow silk bubble escaping the earth”—symbolizes freedom, particularly an escape from her home, where she feels as if she's trapped and treated like a child.
After Macbeth kills King Duncan, his mental health begins to deteriorate. He tells us in this quote that after Duncan's murder, he is outside of the nourishing effects of sleep. By the time that Macbeth arranges for the murders of Banquo and Fleance and then Macduff's family, he has lost all of the comforts that humanity needs to survive.
The ability to sleep, eat, peace of mind, the company of friends and loved ones.
" Still it cried,'sleep no more', to all the house: 'Glamis hath murder'd sleep, and therefore Cawdor
Shall sleep no more, Macbeth shall sleep no more!

Answer:
It was a beautiful day lemonade so sweet, probably not good for your teeth. The sun was shining, just a little bit of mist on the other side of the wall. As I'm lying down relaxing with the warm sun on my skin until a shrill cry echoed in the fog, I was only 15 at the time. I had no idea what I was about to get myself into.
As I stand up, I feel the cold mist breathe across my skin. Suddenly It's dark in the blink of an eye, everyone and everything was gone. The warm sun turned cold, everything around me was depressing. A little bit of sunlight still left, I see chase and Anika running after a faint shadow I assume is Marilyn. Left in the dust with nothing but fear, I start yelling at them to wait up. Filled with questions I run as fast as my feet can carry me up to them.
I see them climb over the wall, Hesitant at first I look back, then lookup. As I make my way up the wall, climbing on vines. I can't think of anything. I'm just climbing, thoughtlessly climbing up a wall I had no idea what was over. As I get to the top I hear Chase start yelling my name, as I look over the wall I'm frozen with fear. I see something unbelievable.

"The Raven" is a poem by American author Edgar Allan Poe. The poem was published in 1845, and became an instant sensation due to its many striking characteristics.
The poem employs rhyme in a way that provides an extremely musical tone to the work. Moreover, the language is vivid and stylized, and Poe employs imagery that creates a supernatural atmosphere. This allows the many devices employed (alliteration, assonance, repetition, etc.) to contribute to the meaning of the poem.
Moreover, "The Raven" reflects many of the common topics of the time. The death of beautiful women due to consumption is a common theme during this time period. The poem appeals both to ideas of the Romantic, as well as to the culture of mourning that developed around such deaths. In the poem, a young student receives the visit of a raven, which keeps reminding him of the recent death of his girlfriend. The poem traces the man's descent into madness. The development of the poem and the ideas that Poe had about it are explained carefully in his text "The Philosophy of Composition."
