The Good Earth Essay

This is the link to my summative essay on the novel The Good Earth. When I read this novel, I was constantly disturbed by the way women, including O-lan, were treated and so I created my thesis by combining my thoughts along with Pearl S Buck's on how poorly women were treated by Wang Lung and in general, China.

Journal Entry - Mountain

The great hills of the earth

Tower over the horizon

I stare at this image

It captures my mind

And my soul

And I wonder how they got there

And how they were formed

And I wonder what's on top

And what's below

And I let my mind wander

To and fro

The clouds sweep over the very tip

Birds flying within the valleys

Up so high

I can no longer see them

Gone

Just like that

In an instant

Could happen to anyone

At any moment

For that is why I stare

At these large blocks of rock

I must not take advantage of life

For one day it could disappear

Gone

Just like that

In an instant
