They went through all specifications from the extensive backup equipment installed in their unmarked surveillance van to implanting a mini video surveillance camera and recording conversation devices into Edith’s earrings.

Edith arrived at her destination dressing genuinely sexy in a black satin deep v-neckline strap camisole top revealing just a peek of her cleavage over a pair of dark skinny jeans hugging her curves, with a pair of black strappy heels walking toward the city bar and through the main door.

Some on the dance floor dancing the night away, others were hanging out at the cocktail lounge with a drink in their hand to relax after a long work week and those with hopes of a chance of meeting their possible mate or maybe just company for the night. Edith meanders through the dance floor toward the cocktail lounge with that same hope of finding that mate she’s in search for. Able to find an available stool along a raised countertop, Edith settled on as she observes the happy crowd that surrounded her and waits patiently for an available bartender to attend her. “What can I get you?” The bartender asks mannerly. “Vodka lemonade please.” Edith watches the bartender fill her mixed beverages in a glass and places it before her. “Thank you.” Edith said considerately as she pays for her beverage and leaves a tip. “The pleasure is all mines.” The bartender leaves to attend to others on the lounge. Edith couldn’t help to notice how quickly and efficiently the bartender was preparing their drinks …show more content…

The man she was sent to bring down was gazing at her as he lifts up his drink and flashes an alluring smile revealing the most beautiful dimples. “Single rose, two dollars.” A sweet voice called out from behind her. Edith pivots and notices a beautiful woman with a basket of roses passing by. “I’ll take one.” Edith said as she reaches into her hand purse and gives the rose woman a five dollar bill. The rose woman hands Edith a rose with her change. “Can you deliver this rose to the handsome Hispanic man in the navy blue long sleeve shirt on the opposite side of the countertop corner?” “I sure can.” “Thank you.” Edith’s eyes follow the rose woman strolling toward him, hands him the rose with exchanging words and vanishes into the crowd. Cruz glances toward her, gave a nod of amazement, and then withdrew from his seat. “Impressive.” A husky voice from behind says. Edith turns to the side gazing directly at Cruz Dominguez with a genuine smile. “Thank you. Not often do men get a

In Chapter Three of John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath, Steinbeck explores the migrant workers’ journey, revealing that although foes and adversaries rail into them, both those with purpose to injure and those blind to their presence, shattering and flinging them off course, abrupt changes in their course cause no true harm; migrant workers come face to face with success at the close of their journey and ultimately they plant a seed, an idea, a revolution that will blossom along their voyage. Steinbeck establishes a metaphorical journey in Chapter Three, shaping the migrants as turtles, to hail them as the jewels of American society, and to reveal their true characteristics, which are usually muddled with dirty connotations and stereotypes.

Pedro and John are the two main contestants for Tita’s heart. When Tita is given the post of official cook Pedro congratulates her by giving her “a bouquet of roses”(48). Esquivel specifies the type of flowers that Pedro brought “roses” and this use of diction gives more meaning to the action because roses signify love and passion. Furthermore, Tita comments that “They were beautiful” and the use of diction portrays Tita’s feeling of love and admiration to not only the flowers, but also Pedro himself (48). On the other hand, when John returns from his trips, “...Tita was

As he walks in, Josephine screams and falls down dead; the happiness that she had felt was too much for her weak heart. Likewise, “A Rose for Emily,” written by William Faulkner, opens on a woman, Emily Grierson, except this time the woman is already dead. The story is told from the perspective of the townspeople, a collective “we.” They recount when she was exempted from her taxes, and then when she refused to pay them after the death of the person who remitted her. Then, the townspeople go back further to a time when Emily’s house had a stench so foul, a judge was consulted about what to do; it was decided that a few townspeople would stealthily sprinkle lime about her property in order to not confront her and seem discourteous.

“A Rose for Emily” is a unique short story that keeps the reader guessing even though its first sentence already reveals the majority of the content. William Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily” is the epitome of a work that follows an unconventional plot structure and a non-linear timeline, but this method of organization is intentional, as it creates suspense throughout the story. William Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily” follows an unusual plot structure, which creates an eccentric application of suspense to a short story. Throughout the story, there are no clear indications of standard plot structure in each section, such as intro, climax, and denouement. Instead, there are sections, which are not in chronological order, that describe a particular conflict or event, which in turn creates suspense, as each conflict builds upon each other to make the reader question the overall context and organization of the story.

As in most of his works one of the overbearing ideals of A Rose For Emily is a sense of class and of elegance that was as evident as the sky in the South. The main character of the story, Miss Emily Grierson, is William’s way of exemplifying this bygone way of life in a more modern era; and both Nicole and I agree that this is the main plot in the story. Throughout A Rose For Emily the idea of monuments and age are extremely prevalent as both Miss Emily and her homestead are commonly referred to as, “relic.”

This can be seen from her perception and description of the man who shares her “special” seat as a “… fine old man” and the woman as “a big old woman” (101). Her Surname 2 remembrance of the previous Sunday’s patient Englishman and his nagging hard to please wife whom she wanted to shake also shows her envy for women with male companionship. In Faulkner’s story A Rose for Emily, Emily is seen as a person who suffers from isolation from her community, by tradition and by law. Her isolation from the community and love is what seems to perturb her most; she is unable to accept the idea that her father is dead and she remains in denial.
