"He seated himself again and rolled a cigarette, which he smoked in silence. Neither did Mrs. Pontellier speak. No multitude of words could have been more significant than those moments of silence, or more pregnant with the first-felt throbbings of desire."

Like the saying goes "a picture is worth a thousand words" in this case it's the silence. When I first met my boyfriend I was astound at his physical features. I couldn't speak. My legs felt like if they were maracas, and I wanted to pass out at his gorgeous face. Without saying a word he understood what I was saying. Body language is crucial. Sweating says that you're hiding something. Shaking your legs, arms, or hands says that you're nervous or anxious.

Quote 2

"I never was never so exhausted in my life. But it isn't unpleasant. A thousand emotions have swept through me to-night. I don't comprehend half of them. Don't mind what I'm saying; I am just thinking aloud."


There is this moment in life in which we lose ourselves in the depths of our thoughts and emotions. There was a moment in my life when I was struggling with a lot of my emotions. As a young female adult, I go through a roller-coaster of emotions all because of the opposite sex. I had this problem with a boyfriend and my thoughts were over powered by a billion things. I couldn't think straight and I had an issue minding my thoughts. I became a little more outspoken only because I needed to set free of my thoughts. Speaking out loud  helps relief the mind.

"Mrs. Pontellier was always very generous with the contents of such a box; she was quite used to receiving them when away from home."

When a relatives goes away or a dear friend has to go for a while, that person's loved ones miss them terribly. My sister loves when our father travels, for she enjoys all the gifts he brings back for her. She treasures all her gifts and holds them in a special place. As my sister walks in the living room, she already knows that her gifts are on the table. My baby sister, Estrellita, adores her gifts!
