            Other Worlds:

            Palestine, Jordan, and Canada
            The lands which I will forever reside
            Lost in confusion 
            Found in the nations
            
            Rooted within the world of war and peace
            Grandfathers, haunted by the wars of their nations
            Grandchildren, haunted by the internal war of society
            Pulled away from their desires
            It stays within, lost within a paradox, interminable

            Grandchildren accustomed, grandparents scarred
            A nation lost within the depths of all nations
            Society unknown to societies
            Never to be retrieved, never to be solaced
            Inhabitants Perished
            Traditions erased
            The end is near, we must embrace

Consolidating My Topic Choice

-
The Written Assignment is due in exactly 1 month and 2 days from today (May 11th, 2019). I have been brainstorming several topics which I wanted to focus on. Mainly the use of foil characters which I have narrowed down to Dr. Rank and Mrs. Linde. Honestly, I feel that I would be able to do it with Mrs. Linde as I can contrast her with Nora. However, it's probably an overused topic choice as it sprang to mind upon first glance. Therefore, I decided that I will (with 90% certainty) do my written assignment on Dr. Rank. Some of the things which I could discuss in the written assignment are how Dr. Rank is contrasted to society (ie the degrading backbone of society, how unconcerned he is of others opinions). This is then juxtaposed with Torvald and how he is concerned about others' opinions of him. They are further contrasted with the treatment of their wives. Torvald patronizes his wife whereas Dr. Rank is kind and nurturing (Ibsen uses him to criticize society's general treat...
