THE LADY LF SHALOTT/ values: patience-caring

THE LADY OF SHALOTT
VALUES: PATIENCE / CARING 


This essay would be about how the values of patience and caring are reflected in the story of “The lady of shalott”. To start with this story is a lyrical ballad written by the English poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson. This story is about patience because the girl of shallot is imprisoned in a tower on a beautiful island near Camelot and she doesn’t have any idea of the outside world kind of like Rapunzel, the people of Camelot only could hear her signing, so patience is reflected in this story because this lady one day decide to leave the island on a little boat and she ended up dead basically because she couldn’t wait and in my opinion even if in the story it isn’t specified I think she was in love with someone who actually lived in Camelot who’s name was Lancelot and she was so impatient to go there and meet him because she could see him trough a mirror that she had and with that mirror is that she could see Camelot. Then towards the end we discover that in her trip to Camelot she died in the water of the river and then she ends up in Camelot and Lancelot compliment her dead face saying she had a pretty face. This teach us and tells us that if we wait and we are patient we could stop bad things from happen for example her death if she had wait or maybe ask for help screaming and not just singing like she used to do maybe people could have heard her and went to help her and liberate her from her big tower and then she could have went to Camelot and meet the guy that she used to spy with her mirror she was so desperate to escape that she risk her life and died escaping by her own the thing that makes this even sadder is that Lancelot though she was pretty so they could have been together if she had have a little more patience or maybe have had a little more caring when she was escaping, tried to be more careful with the water and the way she was going to Camelot, her death could have been easily evoided, and she knew because she heard that if she looked Camelot she would be cursed so the girl actually wasn’t that smart because yes she was impatient to go out of where she was but a person that thinks and knows the danger of a situation would try to avoid to risk her life by a dumb decision, so this leads us to a conclusion, the girls was desperate to go out and see for herself the truth of Camelot, see Lancelot and her curiosity and impatience cause her her death. Patience is a persons ability to wait something or endure something tedious in this case it was the imprisonment of the lady of shallot and caring is feeling or showing concern or kindness to others this is reflected when Lancelot saw her dead well this is in my opinion, this is how I see those two values reflected in “The lady of Shalott”.

Christmas Storm and Sunshine

Values: Citizenship and commitment reflected in Christmas storm and sunshine. In this essay I am going to talk about a story called Christmas storms and sunshine, this is a story written by Elisabeth Gaskell, I am going to tell and explain how the values of commitment and citizenship are reflected in this story. It is important to say that this story talks about two families that didn’t really like themselves because they were both owner of a newspaper one called the tori and the other one called the examinator. But the real problem of the story was that the Wifes hated each other not all the family. The families were called the jerkins and the hodgsons. The conflict is triggered by a minor incident involving Ms. Jenkins' cat, who later denies her help to Mrs. Hodgson in the face of the sudden and dangerous illness of her young son. At the end of the story, the Jenkins invite the Hodgsons to dinner and both families warn that their differences are not that important . I can I

A MODEST PROPOSAL

A MODEST PROPOSAL  In this essay I am going to write about a story called “a modest proposal” en how the values of justice and fairness are reflected in the story. To start with, this story took place in the 1720s in Ireland, a men called Jonathan swift had an idea that not everybody liked but some people agreed. In Ireland in that year there was an economical crisis and a huge overpopulation that was making a lot of trouble to the country, there was a lot of poverty too, this was very bad because the quantity of poverty people was bigger than the quantity of people who had a good economy or a good economical stage. This men called Switf decide to do a not so modest proposal in my opinion, I also think that the title have a little sarcasm in it. His proposal was that the poor women who had babies under a certain age need to sell their babies to rich people for them to eat them, he explain that is a good way to low the population and to feed people, so I really think that here
