She gives me a quick squeeze around the shoulders, which is basically as affectionate as Naomi gets. I sit up and lean against Naomi’s popsicle stick of a body and wipe the blood off my forehead with my left hand. My right hand stays pinned, tucked grotesquely under my arm, fingers facing back toward my elbow. I pick my head up and shake my neck, just to be sure I can. “Yeah, I thought so.” Blood’s the unfortunate side effect of a hard-core fall. I choke out a sweaty, clogged piece of laughter. Naomi’s beside me, and her tiny hand is an ice cube on my smoldering back. “You fell like a bag of mashed potatoes.” Her sneakers make bubble gum smacks against the pavement on her way to me. I hold my breath for a moment until I can say, “We got it.” “You totally got it that time,” she says. Naomi’s camera beeps and she makes a triumphant noise in her throat.

"It lay heavily in her hands,the crystal face gleaming, the brass body exquisitely machined. This is initially described as a lie detector but it is apparent that the depths of its power have not been fully explored. ![]() Her adventure sees her befriend an armoured polar bear and become the wielder of the golden compass. For her, this book is a journey of self-discovery: a way of exploring the limits of her character and potential.

This novel is an absolute work of pure genius, and is in my top ten reads of all time. ![]() ![]() ![]() This is connected to the earlier mentioned idea of the “Rose” embodying everything for which a “Rose” is noted. Of course, a “Rose” is not capable of being “modest” or arrogant, so the reader can know that Blake is using personification to broaden the meaning of the poem. By labeling the “Rose” as “modest,” Blake removes this possibility. Should the “Rose” be influenced in this way, the overall quality of it is diminished because it has become self-absorbed. A person so fair and remarkable, as an example, could become quite arrogant because of the compliments and reactions of others, and that arrogance can be a negative quality. With this in mind, Blake could have had a meaning behind using “modest.” This meaning could be discovered when noting how much egotism all of the striking elements of a “Rose” could create. On an almost contradictory note, though, Blake refers to the “Rose” as “modest.” For a flower so praised as romantic and lovely, this adjective feels a bit unfitting. This is, without question, the most surreal of flowers regarding nearly untouchable “beauty” and refinement. ![]() Those elements, generally speaking, tend to be “love,” passion, softness, “beauty,” elegance-things that stem from 1 `extreme affection and high class. Essentially, the “Rose” is not just a flower in a garden or a decoration in a vase, but rather everything the “Rose” symbolizes. By elevating the “Rose” importance, Blake allows the reader to understand the vastness of the concept. ![]() By addressing the “Rose” as a capitalized word, Blake has treated the concept as a proper noun. ![]() ![]() ![]() See search resultsfor this author Carly Berg(Author) 4.
