...wants a good life partner but the qualities or attributes they want differ from person to person. So what I wish for is that I want her to love me the way I will love her. Also I don’t want a queen because I will treat her like queen. There are many things that I have thought I will do after marriage. Some of them are cooking with her, helping in household work as I am an expert in this field, party with her and going mad and many more which are not appropriate to tell here. I have planned what I will do for her before marriage, after marriage and in life. I wish her to be understanding about my work, my lifestyle and trustworthy. Trust is the backbone of any relationship, trust gone everything gone. So this is what I wish for and in return I promise her wherever she is that I will love her so much that she can’t imagine and be a perfect partner and we will live happily 2nd: The most important thing I wish for is that I want my stammering problem to just go away. Yes I stammer a lot, but improving year after year, doing hard work, working better on my communication skill. The main reason for this wish is just to improve my communication skill, as it hinders in almost everything in life. I feel very shy to talk to anyone. When I see other boys just going talking to any girl and getting along, then this goes to another level, I feel bad for myself thinking why can’t you do this. Also other than this there are many more reasons like going in for a interview, group discussion...

...Have you ever desired for something amazing but received the complete opposite? In the two stories, “The Fight,” by Lucy Calkins and the “The Golden Touch”, there is a similar theme which is “Be careful with what you desire for”. In these two stories, both of the main characters desired something more than what they could have. The theme “Be careful what you desire for,” is a qualified theme for the story, “The Fight”. One of the example was when the narrator was at one of his basketball games, all of the foolishness started after the narrator and his foe, Mike, elbowed each other in the chest. Then when narrator was walking down the sidewalk with his companion, he said that he could take down Mike anytime and anywhere, even though his rival was a lot heavier and three inches taller....

...Genie and His Wishes Life as a genie means that no one asks you what your wishes are, but sometimes I wonder what life would be like if I were the one who was granted three wishes. Would I feel guilty about taking someone's wishes that were granted to them? It’s always me granting the wishes for once I would like to be getting my three wishes. Would I have any remorse afterwards? Let’s see what wishes I would choose and some examples of the importance of each wish . As a genie for thousands of years there are so many wishes to choose from, but I have narrowed it to three. My first wish is very important for me, and I am sure that others would agree on the importance of happiness for all. Another wish is to have more friends, because it gets very lonely in the bottle I currently live in. Last of all, my most important wish, I wish to live outside the bottle, and as normal human being. Now I will explain the importance of each wish and how it will affect my life in the future. My first wish is for happiness to all. I think that has a nice sound to it, don’t you? It is tough being a genie, but it’s also very gratifying helping others in need. Yes, I know there are going to be ups and downs from whatever you wish for, but you can learn to deal with what life throws at you that might transpire from a first wish. Most people in the world today want something that is better than they already have. This first wish will help others to deal with personal, emotional, and other issues...

...be angry that the workaholic isn’t spending enough time with them. This is a common marital issue that could result in adultery. Sacrificing even a little of time at work to be at home with the family could easily fix this problem. Desire was a common word used in this reading which I knew the meaning of but looked up the definition anyway. Desire means to wish, want, or long for. Desires are a natural part of human thought processes. We all want this or that for Christmas or wish for happiness etc. Wishing is a very common idea for children. Children are always told to wish upon a star or make a wish when you blow the candles on your birthday cake. Wishing is implanted into our brains at a very young age. Some teenagers will wish for better parents or that their brother or sister has never been born. These are most likely regretful wishes that if they every came true the saying “Be careful what you wish for”, would be said. After hearing this, the teenager will have a better perspective on how to appreciate what you have and make sacrifices. Relationships will undoubtedly test your emotions to the point where you question your willpower and values. The thought the author kept using “Isn’t there supposed to be something...

...The Monkey’s Paw –Story Analysis Imagination can take over and lead the mind on a journey to new beginnings. The author leaves the reader to discover underlying meanings while grasping the concept between reality and make-believe. Reading an interesting novel will give the readers a burst of different emotions, for example horror stories and thrillers leave the reader excited and eager for more, while romance makes them wish for the little things they do not have. While searching for the underlying intent, it is inevitable to come across many acts of representation, including the oblivious ones. At the end of a novel the reader gains knowledge and understanding of the author’s implications. As the story opens, the scene inside Laburnam Villa is contrasted with the scene outside. Outside, it's a typical dark and stormy night. Inside things are warm and cheery, with chess, knitting, and a roaring fire. People can always have a cheerful day no matter what the weather is like outside. As the story progresses, the house becomes progressively darker and spookier – complete with creaking stairs, strange shadows from candles and things that go bump in the night. After Herbert dies, the reader is told that the house becomes, "steeped in shadow and silence" (3.3). Mr. and Mrs. White also undergo an upsetting change, transforming from a happy couple into parents racked by grief. It is common for happy couples to have their off days, not everyone can be happy all the time. During...

...Rochester is a different type of hero, while displaying qualities superior to most men, his unconventional outlook borders on villainy. Discuss the characterization of Mr Rochester in jane eyre in light of this statement. Mr Rochester is different and varies from the idea of the conventional tragic Byronic hero. Byronic heroes are usually extraordinarily handsome or appealing physically. However, from a physical point of view, Mr Rochester is not in any way handsome in a traditional sense. In chapter 13, he is described as “having broad and jetty eyebrows; his square forehead, made squarer by the horizontal sweep of his black hair. I recognised his decisive nose, more remarkable for character than beauty; his full nostrils, denoting, I thought, choler; his grim mouth, chin, and jaw—yes, all three were very grim, and no mistake. His shape, now divested of cloak, I perceived harmonised in squareness with his physiognomy”. Although his craggy looks should in fact make him a social outcast, he overcomes his physical “deformities” by having a passionate and colourful personality, making him one of the most sensual and interesting characters in jane eyre. People are drawn to him despite his physical appearance, and he has a high standing in society (although this could be attributed partly to his wealth). Next, Byronic heroes are wounded physically and/or emotionally—vulnerable in some way. We first encounter Mr Rochester when his horse slipped on the ice, causing him to fall...
