Final notes

After hearing that Daniel is now preferring Andrea, Desiree is going through an emotional turmoil; she is not eating and taking care of herself. Grandma Mathilde informs her that Daniel is going to marry Andrea soon, which breaks her heart one more time. There is one scene that she loses her red comb that is given by God, which foreshadows what will happen later in the book. The reality hits her so hard that she even has a horrible dream about how she saves Daniel's life but Daniel is not buying it, which, said by the gods, is a betrayal that is also foreshadowing what will happen later in the story. The gods tell her to use the knife to kill Daniel. When Desiree actually wakes up she grabs the knife and goes to Daniel's room while he is still sleeping; but she cannot do this to her love, so she leaves the room. However, Lucifus sees this and misunderstands, so she kicks Desiree out of the hotel.

During the wedding, there are people everywhere, and Desiree decides to show up, Because there are too many people, Desiree is being pushed by the crowd and falls. Because she has not been eating for days, she is too weak to even stand up. Just as she is laying on the ground,  she first sees Mathilde and shouts out her name and is ignored by Mathilde, she then sees her love Daniel, who also ignores her. At that moment, Desiree is desperate... Suddenly, the weather becomes harmful and lightning is coming; the crowd panic... Eventually, because Desiree is being stepped on too many times, she dies... Then butterflies come...

The poor dead Desiree is eventually thrown out of the hotel by Lucifus...

Story ends

sample question

While some poems focus exclusively on a personal or private experience, others reflect on the place of the individual in the larger human community. In the work of at least two poets, explore the ways in which poems have conveyed the poet’s sense of the world beyond the private sphere.  As an Arabic who is born in the United States and have a diverse family with a heavy sense of culture environment, Naomi Shihab Nye has lots of experiences that can reflect the idea that though people have different identities, they are still all humans no matter what. More specifically, in her poems ‘My father and the Fig Tree’ and ‘The words under the words’, she expresses the idea that all humans try to adapt to different environment, even though it can be difficult.  In the poem ‘The words under the words’ Naomi has a detailed description of her grandmother’s life in the U.S. After reading this poem, it appears to me that Naomi tries to emphasise the idea that humans can adapt in a...

MLML reading notes Chapter 3-5

Continue from the previous chapter, Desiree eventually finds a young man who is injured from the accident, whose name is Daniel. She sees a broken car, which at that time she had no idea what it is. To comfort Daniel, Desiree sings a song and then other peasants from the village appear. They bring Daniel back to their place and look after him. At the meantime, Desiree thinks that all this is fate, it is the will of God that brought this man to their place. Apparently, Daniel is from the wealthy part, but he does not tell them what his specific identity is. Peasants send M.J and M.B to the city to find someone. After a few days, M.J and M.B come back. There is a storm. Mama Euralie has a mental breakdown and starts to curse at God about her life; she also worries that one-day Desiree will leave the village and never comes back. There are also lots of praying going on. Daniel's father comes to the village in a helicopter, which is something peasants have never seen befo...
