Summarizing

A lion was sleeping peacefully when he felt a mouse scampering over his face. Grabbing her by the tail, he was about to devour her when she bravetly said, “Lion,if you spare my life, I will repay your kindness in the future.” The lion roared with laughter at the thought of such a tiny creature helping him-the king of the jungle. He was so amused that he let the mouse go.

Sometime later, the lion got snared in a trap. Hearing the lion’s angry roar, the mouse ran to his rescue. She gnawed away the ropes that bound him until he was free. “You ridiculed the idea of a tiny creature like me being able to repay a favor to a great creature like you,” the mouse said. “Now, you know that little friends can be great friends.”

Can everybody rate my essay?

Everybody has been love-struck at some point in life. In “The Song of Wandering Aengus,” William Butler Yeats experienced love at second sight. When he sees her, she is a fish. Then, she turns into a beautiful girl. The poem dwells on magic of love, and how attracted people get when they meet the “glimmering” someone. The poem’s theme is unreturned love.
From the first two lines of the poem, the speaker doesn’t feel well. “I went out to the hazel wood,/Because a fire was in my head.” The imagery of fire shapes the mood of love he wants in his life. Of course his head is not literally on fire, fire represents his desire that takes him into the hazel wood. Aengus shapes a “wand”, or a stick for fishing. He uses a berry as the bait to catch fish. The “moth-like stars were flickering out”, so you know that the time of the day is dawn. When Aengus dropped a berry in the stream, he caught a small silver fish.
In the second stanza, Aengus describes laying the fish on the floor, and starting the fire. He was starting to cook something and something rustles on the floor and someone calls his name. When he turns around and expects to see the trout he sees a “glimmering girl,” who had apple blossom hair and she called him by his name again and then ran “faded through the brightening air”.
The third stanza jumps forward until Aengus is an old man, and spends his whole life looking for the “glimmering girl”. In the second line of the third stanza, Aengus looks “Through hollow lands and hilly lands” he imagines he will find her and kiss and take her hand. He also puts that he and she will walk among grass together, and they will pluck the “silver apples of the moon” and the “golden apples of the sun” until the end of time.
In the end, W B Yeats, poem is about the fire of love and passion. In the first two stanza Yeats is not feeling well and he meets a girl of his life. The poem starts he going to do clear his head and goes to fish, and then the the trout turn into his love and she calls his name and “fades through the brightening air”. The poem tells readers that if someone love someone they would do whatever it takes to find their love for them.

Read the passage.
from Bleak House
[Lady Dedlock] supposes herself to be an inscrutable Being, quite out of the reach and ken of ordinary mortals-seeing herself in her glass,
where indeed she looks so. Yet, every dim little star revolving about her, from her maid to the manager of the Italian Opera, knows her weaknesses,
prejudices, follies, haughtinesses, and caprices; and lives upon as accurate a calculation and as nice a measure of her moral nature, as her
dress-maker takes of her physical proportions. Is a new dress, a new custom, a new singer, a new dancer, a new form of jewellery .. new chapel
a new anything, to be set up? There are deferential people, in a dozen callings, whom my Lady Dedlock suspects of nothing but prostration before
her, who can tell you how to manage her as if she were a baby; who do nothing but nurse her all their lives; who, humbly affecting to follow with
profound subservience, lead her and her whole troop after them.
(from Bleak House by Charles Dickens)
What do the different viewpoints of Lady Dedlock mostly emphasize?
01. how the privileged and those in their service often have conflicts
