Her soft side is buried deep…

After surviving a traumatic childhood, Miranda Franklin grew up tough, fast, and convinced of her inability to ever nurture a child. Eli Page is the only man to earn Randy’s trust. For him, she will face her worst fear—spend a day caring for his granddaughter. When the unthinkable happens, Randy realizes she’s the same as her mother was—a monster.

How can he choose…?

Widower Eli Page devoted the last fifteen years of his life to raising his daughter Celeste. Now it’s time for his happiness. His future. But six weeks before his wedding to Randy, Celeste skips town, leaving her one-year-old daughter for Eli to raise. Randy wants no part in raising a child—but how can she expect him to turn away his own granddaughter?

    The Fahrenheit 451 symbol I created is an atomic bomb with the tail of a book. This represents Montag because he spread knowledge and the importance of books to the society and it ended with the fall of the city. He knew the power of books and people hated him for it. The background is perfect blue skies with clouds because it shows how shielded from the truth people were in the society by the government. they don't even know anything about neighboring cities. “And across the world, thought Montag, how many other cities dead? And here in our country, how many? A hundred, a thousand?” (155) Everyone thought everything was okay and just another war until suddenly the bomb came and decimated everything around them and the intellectuals and montage…

    Leslie Edwards (Matthew Perry), a clumsy aristocrat, and the hilarious Bartholomew Hunt (Chris Farley) are competing against the famous Lewis & Clark to be the first to chart and make it across the United States to the Pacific Ocean. In the beginning of the film, Edwards has high hopes to head the first expedition to make it across the U.S., but while he has the want and the money, he is a sheltered man who knows nothing of the wilderness. To aid in his journey, he hires the services of a supposedly knowledgeable wilderness-man and tracker, Hunt, who, once they get underway, turns out to be less than advertised (too good to be true haha).

    The young boy, Travis, has to sleep in the living room, many of the other family members share rooms, and the entire family shares the place with other families. It is even mentioned that they have to share the bathroom, which also happens to be outside of the apartment, with some neighbors (LTHE 725). Overall the reader can tell that the Youngers do not have a very rich lifestyle, and living in such tight quarters with so many people is sure to get irritating. To make living conditions even tighter, the audience later finds out that Ruth is pregnant. The audience gets a glimpse into how worrisome it is for the family that there will be someone else packed into the small home, and to have another person that also needs a lot of monetary care. Beneatha, Walter’s sister who is also living with them, even made a comment about where the baby was going to sleep, and sarcastically said the roof (LTHE 743). That made Ruth feel even worse, and the audience finds out that she already put down a down payment to get an abortion (LTHE 752).

    Three novels intrigued me with their use of the arts: Out of the Dust, The Music of Dolphin, and House on Mango Street. All three novels use artistic abilities to help communicate emotional struggles. I observed each author structured their chapters in a particular way that correlated to the specific artistic ability of the character. Out of the Dust structured each chapter in free style poems, with one chapter even appearing as piano keys on the page. House on Mango Street was structured in prose, but the chapters are short like articles delivering information about her life and family. The Music of Dolphins was also structured in prose, but each chapter seemed to sing a different part of Mila’s experience with her dolphin family as well as…
