Lennie's "I Am" Poem
I am strong and confused.
I wonder why people want to kill me.
I hear George's voice in my head.
I see Curley's wife, lifeless in the hay.
I am strong and confused.
I pretend to understand what my capabilities are.
I feel extremely worried.
I touch a mouse in my pocket because it calms me.
I worry about the rabbits so much that I killed Curley's wife.
I cry over what George will say.
I am strong and confused.
I understand the seriousness of what i have just done.
I say to be confident.
I dream about tending the rabbits on my own ranch with George and Candy.
I try to control my actions but I cannot.
I hope to not get in trouble.
I am strong and confused.
Did you realize that 2,500 sections of land of rainforest are being wrecked each and every hour? What's more, in every 20 minutes an area of rainforest the size of New York's Central Park is demolished. I imagine that individuals ought to STOP chopping down the rainforest! One motivation behind why is on account of creature's homes will be crushed. A second motivation behind why is on the grounds that the trees in the rainforest gives every one of us oxygen. What's more, thirdly, a percentage of the solutions we have now originated from the plants in the rainforest, and they will be pulverized on the off chance that you chop down the trees. Those are three great reasons why you ought to quit chopping down the rainforest.
It was dark, and the only thing I hear was screaming. The sound was as loud as bombs, but less dangerous. The ground was soaked in blood of all my fellow Jews, some begged for mercy but none came. Then we see our salvation, we saw angels coming to save us, angels in the form of American soldiers, our allies were here to save us.
Answer:
His son and his son's wife were disgusted at this, so the old grandfather at last had to sit in the corner behind the stove, and they gave him his food in an earthenware bowl, and not even enough of it. And he used to look towards the table with his eyes full of tears. Once, too, his trembling hands could not hold the bowl, and it fell to the ground and broke. The young wife scolded him, but he said nothing and only sighed. Then they brought him a wooden bowl for a few half-pence, out of which he had to eat.
This question is regarding "Rules of the Game" by Amy Tan. From the passages about "invisible strength" and Waverly's mother stating that the "strongest wind cannot be seen we can infer that Waverly's mother values strength that can be found in restraint and silence. This can be seen when Waverly cries for candy at the candy store and her mother tells her to "bite her tongue". That time she doesn't get the candy, but the next time they go to the candy store Waverly stays quiet and receives candy. This is the mother's way of rewarding her for staying silent.
