Because i could not stop for death
The document contains a presentation by CVVMMK Dhaveji, a school assistant science teacher from Taylor High School in Narsapur, India. It includes an analysis of the Emily Dickinson poem "Because I could not stop for Death".

Laura escapes into her collection of glass animals and finds a potential suitor in one of Tom's coworkers, Jim O'Connor. However, Jim is already engaged, devastating Laura. Seeking escape from his feelings of entrapment and responsibility, Tom eventually abandons his family as well.
Old Man and the Sea
Ernest Hemingway was an American author born in 1899 who is considered one of the greatest writers of the 20th century. Some of his most famous works include The Sun Also Rises, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and The Old Man and the Sea. The Old Man and the Sea follows an aging Cuban fisherman named Santiago over the course of three days as he struggles to catch a giant marlin and return to shore. Though he succeeds in catching the enormous fish, sharks devour it during his journey home, leaving him with only the skeleton. The story examines themes of perseverance, mortality, and man's relationship with the natural world.
The old man and the sea
1) The document discusses the novel "The Old Man and the Sea" by Ernest Hemingway.
2) It analyzes key elements of the novel including the setting in 1950s Cuba, the plot involving Santiago's struggle to catch a giant marlin, and main characters like the old fisherman Santiago and his apprentice Manolin.
3) Themes of friendship, man versus nature, memory, respect, and symbolism in the novel are also summarized.
Because I Could Not Stop For Death (Analysis)
Death kindly stops to pick up the speaker of the poem. They ride together in a carriage past a school, grain fields, and the setting sun. They pause before a house that seems to be swelling from the ground, with a barely visible roof and cornice enveloped in the earth. The speaker reflects that though centuries have passed, the journey with Death still feels shorter than the day it began, when they first understood the horses were headed toward eternity.

PROMPT
Characters do what they do because of their various motivations and desires. Often, their desires conflict with their ethical or moral responsibilities. For example, a personal belief, a love, a thirst for vengeance, a resolve to rectify a wrong, or some other ambition may cause a character to conflict with a moral obligation. Write about a literary work in which a character’s motivations/desire conflict with his/her ethical responsibilities.
Remember that you are analyzing the literary text--not commenting on whether or not the behaviors are ethical or "right" in your opinion.
Instead, you should focus on the moral dilemma the character experiences and analyze how he/she wrestles with this dilemma beyond what is obvious in the plot. What literary elements draw out this conflict?

Revision: Social class - Themes and context
The document discusses how class shapes the characters and events in the play "Blood Brothers". It examines the social classes of working class, represented by the Johnstone family, and middle class, represented by the Lyons family. The working class faced poverty, unemployment, and lower opportunities compared to the comfortably off middle class families. This contrast in social circumstances between the two families, and how it influences the characters of Mickey and Eddie who are separated at birth, is a central theme explored in the play.
Blood Brothers: Tell Me It's Not True
The document is a poem where Mrs. Johnstone and a company are pleading with someone to tell them that something tragic they heard is not true. They ask the person to say it was just a story or dream and not real, comparing it to an old movie or scene that is now over. They ask the person to say they didn't mean what happened and that it was just pretend, hoping that the morning will bring the realization that it was not true.
Blood Brothers: Council Chamber
Mickey finds out from his mother that he had a twin brother who was given away at birth because his mother could not afford to keep both boys. His mother gave one of the twins to a woman who could not have children. Upon learning this, Mickey becomes upset and questions why he was not the one who was given away. The narrator then tells the story of the Johnstone twins, who were as alike as two new pins but one was kept while the other was given away, and how they were both born and died on the same day.

For the second scene, it asks about the circular narrative structure, how to annotate the song by linking back to the prologue, how the audience feels about Mrs. Johnstone, what role the narrator has played, and whether it is "just a story".
Blood Brothers: One Day in October
The narrator describes how it was a day in October when the sun began to fade and winter broke summer's promise, as the rain came falling down and someone claimed to see the bogeyman in town. Mickey tells his mother that Linda is pregnant, and when she asks if he loves her and when the wedding will be, he responds that they were thinking about a month, before Christmas.
Blood Brothers: Light Romance
The document is a collection of song lyrics and dialogue from the musical "Blood Brothers" that tell the story of Mickey and Linda. The lyrics describe the dreams of a woman who longs to break free from her role as a mother. Linda calls the councilor's office looking for Eddie Lyons as Mrs. Johnstone warns Linda that Mickey has a gun. The town is in danger as the lyrics describe a madman on the loose who is out to shoot someone down.
Blood Brothers: Marilyn Monroe 3
The document is a song describing Mickey's struggle with depression after being released from prison. It details how Mickey was prescribed daily pills by a doctor to treat his chronic depression, but has become dependent on them. When Linda tries to convince Mickey to stop taking the pills, he refuses, saying he needs them and can't cope without them, showing his mental health issues and addiction to the medication continue after his release.
Blood Brothers: Act 2 - later stages
The document contains discussion questions about the play Blood Brothers by Willy Russell. It asks the reader to analyze themes of class, gender, and power dynamics between characters. Specific questions analyze how songs from different acts develop metaphors, symbolism, and relationships between Mrs. Johnstone and other female characters.
