One of the famous Green Park Inn ghost stories is about the Pink Lady. It is said that she haunts the halls. Guests have reported seeing a faint pinkish figure gliding through the corridors at night.
Another well - known story is about the apparition of an old man. He is often seen sitting in the lobby area, just looking around. No one knows who he was in life, but his ghostly presence has been reported by numerous guests over the years. Some say he has a sad look on his face, as if he is still waiting for something or someone.
Since we only have this phrase 'Black as the pit from pole to pole' as a reference, it's really difficult to say who the main characters are. It could be anyone really, perhaps characters who are trying to survive or make sense of this very dark - sounding world that the title seems to suggest.
Well, it might be about the all - encompassing nature of a certain negative force or feeling. Since it's 'from pole to pole', it seems to suggest that this blackness, this negative element, is widespread. It could be related to themes like despair that pervades every aspect of the story's setting or characters' lives.
It could be a scene where there is a pole in a Christmas story, like the famous leg lamp beside the pole in 'A Christmas Story'. Maybe it's a pole where kids gather around to sing Christmas carols.
Some success stories involve the natural variation in embryo development. Just because the fetal pole isn't visible at 9 weeks doesn't mean there's a problem. The embryo might be developing at a different pace. In one case, a woman was advised to wait a couple of weeks after the 9 - week scan with no fetal pole. When she had the next scan, there was a clear fetal pole and the pregnancy continued without any major issues.
The pole can be a symbol of stability. In a Christmas story, like the one about the Christmas tree pole, it holds up the tree which is the centerpiece of Christmas celebrations. So it's important in that way.
Well, in the pole scene of 'A Christmas Story', it's a classic case of kids being curious and reckless. The pole is freezing cold, and when Flick's tongue touches it, it gets stuck. It's a humorous situation that also kind of reflects the cold winter days. The other kids' reactions, like their shock and then their laughter, add to the comical aspect of the whole scene.
One success story could be that in some cases, the initial scan at 8 weeks might be inaccurate due to factors like wrong calculation of the gestation period. The woman might actually be less than 8 weeks pregnant, and later scans showed a healthy fetus.
