research, critical thinking, and time management skills. The pressure to produce a well-written and
original piece of work can be overwhelming, especially for those who are new to the process.

One of the most challenging aspects of writing a thesis is choosing a topic. It needs to be relevant,
interesting, and unique. This can often lead to a lot of time spent brainstorming and researching
different ideas. It's not uncommon for students to change their topic multiple times before settling on
one that they feel confident about.

Once a topic has been chosen, the next step is to conduct thorough research. This involves reading
through countless articles, books, and other sources to gather information and evidence to support
the thesis. This can be a time-consuming process, and it's important to ensure that all sources are
reliable and relevant to the topic.

After researching, the next step is to organize the information and create an outline for the thesis.
This can be a challenging task, as it requires the writer to structure their thoughts and arguments in a
logical and coherent manner. It's essential to have a clear and concise outline to guide the writing
process and ensure that all necessary points are covered.

Writing the actual thesis can be a daunting task, as it requires a high level of critical thinking and
writing skills. The writer must present their arguments and evidence in a clear, concise, and

together—performers, listeners. I also took over the Instagram account, and I didn’t even have one of
my own yet, so I learned all about pretty pictures and bookstagrammers and the judicious use of
hashtags. But the artful way in which it is told is an example of the short story at its best. He steers
skillfully—it’s so different from dancing with other girls at boarding school, who always collided
and stepped on each other. He further says that the boy was helplessly looking into the water where
his ball had gone. Leila is overwhelmed by the ball’s beautiful decorations, which she sees as
evidence of the delirious joy and glamor around her. At that the music seemed to change; it sounded
sad, sad; it rose upon a great sigh. She stops dancing and reflects on how her first ball, which once
felt so special, actually marks the start of her inevitable aging—her “last ball” will come sooner than
she thinks, and then she will be a sad and foolish chaperone watching enviously from the stage. He

world. She was associated with the brilliant group of writers who made the London of the period the
centre of the literary world. Surrounded by noise and colorful decorations, Leila presses close to
Meg and remembers that earlier in the night she almost didn’t want to attend the ball, preferring to
stay home and listen to the cries of baby owls calling “more pork” outside. Learning all this new
stuff was really good for me (and my aging brain). But her inability to see the true, banal nature of
the ball marks her continued innocence, even as she feels grown up. The boy was dominance
profoundly by the harm of his ball because it had been with him for a lengthy time. There is also a
Latin term for it: This is probably an adaptation to help us get on in life after horrible things happen.
And she will be sitting up on the stage with the chaperones while her daughter dances down below.
Leila is a naive and inexperienced young woman who has never attended a ball before. I never really
even wrote for a deadline, certainly not professionally, and suddenly I was responsible to come up
with at least one post a week, plus sometimes a guest. Other modernists, like James Joyce and
Virginia Woolf, excelled in their development of the internal monologue, the inner thoughts of a
character which were often written using stream of consciousness, having little connection from one
thought to another while simultaneously creating a realistic and overarching character sketch. While
she was previously able to ignore anything that didn’t fit her perfect narrative, this man has ruined
everything by telling her something unpleasant that nonetheless rings true to her: that her future is
actually bleak. Oblique narration (influenced by Chekhov but certainly developed by Mansfield)
includes the use of symbolism - the doll's house lamp, the fly, the pear tree - hinting at the hidden
layers of meaning. There appears to be a set rule at the ball in whereby it is up to the male to ask the
female to dance, which would place an emphasis on the roles that each gender played again at the
time of writing. Meg asks the other girls to help Leila find partners, and though they agree, they
seem not to see her; instead, they’re focused on the men across the room. She’s entranced by the
dancing and the music and she wants badly to be dancing herself, but as a woman she’s somewhat
powerless: she can’t dance alone, she can’t find her partner herself, and she can’t select a different
partner from the one on her dance card.

his unknown reasons for falling out of love with baseball. In other words, this is not a moment of

old man should be with them—the dance floor is a place for young people. Even though I’m
admittedly a bit of a loner, I believe there are times when it’s much better to have help, or even just a
friendly ear, than to struggle through solo. Richard Cumyn never clearly stated what year the story
was unfolding in, so I am choosing to believe that the story had been set in the era after World War

Baseball. The aim of the 'dancing questionnaire' is to get a sense of the diversity of people's

repetitive small talk and interchangeable dance partners. She was associated with the brilliant group

Leila’s experience with this out-of-place man is going to unpleasantly disrupt her illusion of a perfect

captured amongst the music, crowds and exuberance of the Bright Young Things. 1 like Like

However, despite her thrill at attending, she finds others bored by what she finds so exciting. But
this passage makes an important revelation: she wasn’t always as carried away by excitement about
the ball as she is now. In the end, Leila leaves the ball feeling happy and fulfilled, having had the
experience of a lifetime. After he finishes writing his name on her program, he remarks that he may
know Leila “of yore” before disappearing into the crowded dance floor. He experiences sorrow at the
harm of his much-loved right. People may take balls just as they will take away our innocence and
force us to grow up soon. But now she feels overcome by joy, drinking in the flowers, lights, and the
“gleaming, golden floor.”. Once I joined the debs, I felt like I had become part of this long line of
writers who came before me, and I get to be part of the chain that continues, with new writers
realizing their dream every year—what an honor. She stops dancing and reflects on how her first
ball, which once felt so special, actually marks the start of her inevitable aging—her “last ball” will
come sooner than she thinks, and then she will be a sad and foolish chaperone watching enviously
from the stage. Here is the vandalism from September, duplicate pictures included. However, Leila
has not returned to the same state she was in at the beginning of the ball; when Leila and her partner
spin, the decorations resemble a “flying wheel.” Leila probably isn’t conscious of the association, but
it’s clear that the wheel imagery is significant—the decorations are a reminder now of time passing,
as hands would wheel around the clock, or as life cycles spin onward. Even though Leila feels quite
far from these owls now, Mansfield is subtly suggesting that Leila and the owls are not so different:
like the owls, Leila is naive and hungry—in her case, hungry for new experiences. When he leaves
her to put their children to bed, he can't help but return to the field to see how his wife participates in
the game. But the artful way in which it is told is an example of the short story at its best. Love this
video, love this song - the video made by my son Eli with his. Mansfield's stories were the first of
significance in English to be written without a conventional plot. She is excited and nervous about
the event, and spends hours preparing for it, trying on different dresses and practicing her dancing.
She sat hunched on her stool, with a look of middle-aged concentration. I would not intrude on him;
A dime, another ball, is worthless.
So even as Leila recaptures her youthful joy, she is subtly remembering that time passes. It seemed
that the boy had the ball for a long time. His program is already very full, so Leila tells him not to
bother finding a spot for her, but he does anyway. He’s old enough to be onstage with the
chaperones, and he’s shabby—there’s a button missing from his glove, and his coat is wrinkled and
dusty. Leila’s love of the “golden floor” is another example of her being overly impressed by
something totally common, and her attitude towards the floor comes to reflect her attitude towards
her own future. Once the ball bounces out of his control and consequently falls into the water. The
poem can be understood literally and metaphorically too. Its poet John Berryman is beautifully
describing a boy who has lost his ball. What he said rings true to her—this ball might be “only the
beginning of her last ball.” Suddenly, the music sounds sad, and she mourns that happiness can’t last
forever. He did not allow her to make the decision for herself. These lessons were often
miserable—the girls were tormented by a strict dance teacher, and the dance hall was dusty. She had
grown rather accustomed to bright sunshine in the last five years and the sounds of tropical birds
competing with the chatter of servants. Cynical Although Leila is having a great time, she becomes
somewhat disappointed when she realizes that ''her partners were not more interested. She stops
dancing and goes to lean against the wall; inside, she’s a small child throwing a tantrum because the
man ruined everything. The last date is today's date — the date you are citing the material. The line
itself describes how the boy recalls those days when he used to play with the ball. Once it happened,
was it everything you hoped it would be. Berryman graduated from Columbia in 1936, then went to
study at Cambridge University for two years on a scholarship. The poem describes a boy’s grief over
the loss of ball. Her inner tantrum hints that she wants to return to childhood, when she wasn’t aware
that she would grow old or unhappy. Somehow, David has chosen to channel his dislike of baseball
and his fear of having to play the game that he no longer likes through his wife. If this post contains

lost, and what the boy has to learn from the experience of losing something. But he stops himself
from doing so because he thinks that the money may bring a new ball but will not bring the
memories and feelings attached to the lost ball. That is because they of course are no longer children
and the scars their psyches wear get in the way of such festive ambiance. The young man’s lack of
interest in the floor (and in Leila) reflects his fatigue with attending balls and his weary outlook on

Berryman is beautifully describing a boy who has lost his ball. The loss here means the most

it is the story of mankind learning to deal with the loss of their loved things or people. She responds
that it’s “beautifully slippery,” which surprises him. The man immediately guesses that it’s Leila’s
first ball; he knows because he’s been attending them for 30 years. The poet says that this sight of

Dance programmes were usually small and tasseled so a lady may hang her program from her wrist.
He tells Leila that as an old woman she’ll be miserable, simply because she’ll no longer be desirable
to men. Leila wonders why the men are just standing around instead of approaching the women.
Leila wants to forget this man and the unpleasant truths that he told her, so she’s repressing the
experience and trying to delude herself into believing that her happiness will last. However, now that
she’s at the ball, her attitude has changed entirely; she finds her barely-younger self almost
incomprehensible, and she wouldn’t trade being at the ball for anything. The old man apologizes,
but Leila simply beams at him—she doesn’t even recognize him now. We all should learn how to
cope up with the loss and our responsibility. Up until now it had been dark, silent, beautiful very
often - oh yes - but mournful somehow. Solemn. And now it would never be like that again - it had

loved things. She responds that it’s “beautifully slippery,” which surprises him. Why doesn’t he offer
him money to buy another ball. He further says that the boy was helplessly looking into the water
