...The Man Who Loved Flowers Characterization of the main character The main character in Stephen King’s The Man Who Loved Flowers is a young man with black hair and light blue eyes. The man is described as being nicely dressed, wearing a grey suit with the tie pulled down a little and the top collar button undone. We assume that he is from New York City as that is where we find him during the story, although it isn’t stated directly. As we follow this young guy through the streets of New York City, he is described through the thoughts of an old lady and a flower vendor which he passes on his way. They assuming that he is in love, seeing the bounce in his steps and the half-smile on his lips. The young man seems like a very friendly and polite person, this is mainly based on his conversation with the flower vendor, an example on this is to find on page 178 lines 11-12 “I’m gonna tell you what I think. Hey! Advice is still free, isn’t it?” The young man smiled and said. ”I guess it’s the only thing left that is.” The way people smile and recognize themselves in him, when he passes them, also indicates that his appearance is friendly as well. It seems as if he has a lot on his mind as he doesn’t notice any of the ongoing events he finds himself in the middle of. An example on this is to find in page 179 lines 16-18 He was unaware of the two teen-aged girls who passed him going the other way and then clutched themselves and giggled.

...The Who Before enrolling in American Popular Music, I had decent background on a fair amount of bands and artists we have talked about in class, including, but not limited to, Eric Clapton, The Beatles, and The Eagles. These artists are some of my Dad’s favorite, so therefore I learned a lot about them from him; however, he has never been a fan of The Who. Therefore, I was rather excited when I was assigned a research paper on The Who; a band who I really knew nothing about before American Popular Music. In the following paper, I will provide details about The Who’s individual band members’ lives, as well as information in relation to the band in general. The Who had four main members: Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, John Entwistle, and Keith Moon. In addition to being the band’s guitarist, Pete Townshend took on the roll as the primary song writer. The most interesting fact I found about Townshend, is that he owns his own book publishing company. He actually published a book of his own called “Horse’s Neck” which consisted of a variety of short stories. Townshend has maintained a musical interest throughout his life, even after The Who broke up in 1983 (The Who Official Band Website). Roger Daltrey has always been a passionate musician; to the point where he even designed many of the bands guitars (The Who Official Band Website). Recently, Daltrey’s passion for music resurfaced. According to Mayer Nissim, a reporter for Digital Spy, “Roger Daltrey has confirmed that he...

...Raspberry’s make a great jam and is a well known favorite in the Alaskan household. In Alaska the season for Raspberries is in the month of August. The quality of the berry is important for a successful jam making session. Domesticated raspberries, as opposed to the wild raspberry are by far the best choice available. They are considerably larger, juicier,and have a good amount acidity and pectin. Pectin is a jelling substance found naturally in a large variety of fruits. Raspberries are found to be high in pectin, while strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries are low in pectin. Finding a decent patch of berries to harvest that has not been picked through can sometimes be a challenge. Walmart and Fred Meyers will have everything needed to make raspberry jam. For the food portion of the shopping list, the following are needed: • At least 6 cups of white granulated sugar • 1 cube of butter • CERTO brand fruit pectin in the pouch found in the food storage section. • If you missed the berry picking season, frozen red raspberries will suffice. You will need at least 2 quarts of uncrushed berries. For the cooking and hardware portion of the shopping trip, gather the items listed below: • 1- 6 to 8 quart Stainless Steel sauce pot. It is important to use only Stainless Steel, as other metals such as aluminum will produce a chemical reaction with the berries which results in a tinny taste. • 1 - Large Stainless Steel Spoon • 1 - Stainless Steel ladle • 9 - 8 ounce...

...My Wife Daniel Shelly ENG121: English Composition I Anne Fowler February 18, 2013 My Wife Most individuals can count on one hand whenever it comes to naming someone who has significant meaning in their life. I am no stranger when it comes to this fact. I am not so easily amazed when it comes to meeting people, but the first time I laid eyes on my wife I was astonished. I knew something was special about her and I was right. Some of the significant wonders about my wife that are special to me are her beauty, her sweet pea fragrance, and her voice. I don’t intend to sound weird, but I can stare at my wife all day long. Her beauty is so mesmerizing. Her creamy, butterscotch skin tone is like no other I have ever seen. Her eyes are round. Gazing into them is like staring at a full moon on a clear night. She stands at five foot one. Although she is small in stature, her enormous heart is one to die for. Her distinctive smile remains to be her most unique feature. It might not be the most perfect smile, but no one can deny its beauty. She bares all her pearly whites as the corner of her lips stretch from cheek to cheek. Everyone is beautiful in their own way and she definitely has her style. I am not one to have a keen sense of smell, but I would recognize her fragrance anywhere. Her choice of perfume is sweet pea from Bath and Body Works. I’ve grown accustomed to this smell. I could be blindfolded and sniff her out like a beagle hot on the trail of a rabbit. That fragrance...

...Psychology 110 Applications Assignment Sensation, Personality, Relationships Matthew Rodriguez 10/5/2014 Following essay will cover various aspects of Sensation, personality and relationship as it pertains. After consulting the figure and information on Sensation Seeking (Saundra K. Ciccarelli, J. Noland White, C. 2011 pp.278) I would consider myself to be a Sensation Seeker. Since a Sensation Seeker is someone who needs more arousal than the average person (Saundra K. Ciccarelli, J. Noland White, C. 2011 pp.277) and that arousal is not limited to something of high intensity or danger, I do find great arousal in many other things in my life and seek to repeat them as often as possible. I like to eat, and find myself eating for pleasure rather than nurture. I know things in my pantry are delicious or the leftovers from my wife’s home cooking are especially delicious, I like to eat them because I know they are good. I also get a great deal of good sensation from making my wife happy, and I always go out of my way to do what she wants because I like the feeling of seeing her happy. The advantages here are good for my wife, food is not being wasted and she is getting her way more often than not, it is bad for me because that need to please has come in the way of me completing other important tasks. Eating for pleasure has proved to be bad at times; I have put weight on in the past and not felt good about myself. The inner feeling I get from eating...

Then obviously Marinus left and Lee came in who had been there last year and knew what we was about and just reverted us back to that really he got us energised got us pressing higher and got us all motivated (.) his team selections were half the core of the team last season so the team felt together again it’s been tough for the foreign boys because the championship is a hard league frankly physical, games every week and it probably wasn’t what they’re used too and they were probably chucked in the middle of the deep end at the beginning of the season, Lee kept all the big boys that had been there and done it and put the foreign boys in as substitutes and stuff like that and we just got better and better and I think that’s half the reason we’re pushing back up {talk about Brighton, Reading and Christmas demands, sacrifices etc} Interviewer: So what is your contract situation at the moment?

...The love of Romeo and Juliet was a bittersweet tragedy. I wanted the best for them, and I never wanted for them to die. I, Friar Lawrence, am not responsible for their deaths. I was there for them when their parents were not. Being a holy man, I gave them the best advice I could. Pace was the only thing I wanted, peace within themselves, and peace within the Capulets and Montagues. No one expected this unexpected tragedy to unfold, and I did not want that to occur too. To begin with, I would never want for anyone to die. I cared for them dearly, and was there when they needed someone to hear their pleas, and when they needed advice. Also, I was with them in their best and worst moments. I married them in the first place because I wanted...

...believe that she has a self-esteem problem in relation to her older sister who “has everything”. The narrator presents herself as a passive woman and is rather insecure about herself. She lets men, unborn or grown-up, control every aspect of her life. And last but not least she has an irregular heartbeat, and a malfunctioning reproductive system. She is fascinated by her boss and maybe as ‘all women’ by his power and high position; “...I do my work on his office computer just to touch the cashmere coat he leaves hanging...” Dr. James Soleander is the archetypical ‘Businessman who cheats on his perfect wife with co-worker’. We know him from novels and TV-shows like “Bridget Jones’sDiary”. He is well-dressed, wears cashmere sweaters and nice shoes, is wealthy, powerful, and in the end not interested in a serious relationship. He is also a married man and a heart doctor. According to our narrator he forgets many things, enjoys onions, as the narrator before her pregnancy, and is attracted to her irregular heartbeat. I perceive him as arrogant, selfish and insensitive because he has a good job and a beautiful wife who cares about him, and on whom he cheats. All through the story the heart plays a huge role. Her irregular heart might symbolize her unstable love life and instability in her life in general. Dr. James Soleander understands the physical anatomy of the heart but he is clueless when it comes to love. He is attracted to the heart’s irregularity maybe because it is different...

...Doctor Straight White Male It is highly unlikely that you have never watched an episode of Doctor Who. It’s just part of being British, along with tea, sarcasm and aggressively insisting that you’re ‘fine’ even if your legs have just blown off. You either grow out of Doctor Who, or become an avid fan – there is no in-between. However, recently more and more fans have been switching off on a Saturday night, for one main reason – Steven Moffat. The showrunner has created some kind of Doctor Who formula, which is becoming increasingly over used, resulting in confusing story arcs and predictable characters, causing viewers to be bored and repelled by the show due to sexist undertones and lack of diversity. In the early days of the show, the female companions were there to look pretty, to attract the male gaze, but the 2005 reboot saw the Doctor’s companion’s become just as important, with just as much screen time and character development, causing many of these companions to be seen as role models for young girls, and rightly so. Rose Tyler, Martha Jones and Donna Noble, all proving that women are capable of anything despite their background, but now the characters are being recycled, and development is being lost inside complex story arcs. It is a shame, as there was so much potential in both Amy Pond and Clara Oswald. Moffat sees their positive traits as their ‘feistiness’ and ‘sexiness’ and admits that those features in Karen Gillan swayed his judgment – ‘’I saw Karen...
