The short story Charles, by Shirley Jackson, revolves around the problem that a little boy named Charles has been misbehaving very badly at school.

At the climax Laurie’s mother has had enough of this Charles kid and feels the need to meet his Charles’s mother at the PTA meeting. The story resolves with Laurie’s mother finding out that Charles was not real and instead Charles was Laurie. Jackson uses many literary devices in order to build the curiosity in the story. Specifically, Jackson uses foreshadowing, indirect characterization, and third person

In Stephen King’s short story “Survivor Type”, King uses imagery, setting and irony to ask the question “What will a person risk in order to survive?” In this short story, Richard Pine, a medical school graduate, surgeon and a pill pusher is on his way back home to the United States with 2 Kilos of heroin, when the cruise ship that he is on sinks after an enormous explosion. Dr. Pine manages to get onto a life boat that takes him to a deserted island which Pine describes as small enough to spit across. He is on the island with very few resources and of course the 2 kilos of heroin worth $350,000. Richard Pine resorts to killing gulls in order to suppress his hunger but then ends up falling into a hole and fracturing his ankle. This

Charles also believe that “No matter how close two people eventually become they always begin as strangers”. I can relate his theory to my personal relationship with my boyfriend. On my first date with my boyfriend, we both felt like a stranger because we did not know anything about each other each. And I also had high uncertainty because I was nervous talk,

Laurie and Charles are the same person! Shirley Jackson composed a short story titled “Charles”. Laurie is a new kindergarten student and newly older brother. This story took place in the 1950s and the various locations are Laurie’s home and school. Laurie did not adjust well to kindergarten. He suspired for attention from his parents. With the arrival of his new sibling, Laurie created difficulties with his classmates and teacher. Not receiving enough attention at home, Laurie desired attention at school.

The detail and figurative langauge King includes shows the importance of reading and how to teach yourself to read. King writes, “ I take a book with me everywhere I go, and find there are all sorts of opportunities to dip in. The trick is to teach yourself to read in small sips as well as in long swallows” ( 147). King uses a metaphor to compare between reading and drinking water throughout the quote, “ opportunities to dip in” and “ to read in small sips as well as in long swallows”. King claims, like water is a necessity to human life, reading is a necessity to be a good writer. King goes on to use detail to prove that reading a book is possible anywhere at anytime. King states “ Waiting rooms were made for books- of course! But so are theater lobbies before the show, long and boring checkout lines, and everyone’s favorite, the john” (147-148). By using descriptive words such as “long and boring checkout lines”, the audience is able to draw a picture

Cunning. Crafty. Creative. Cruel. “Charles”, written by Shirley Jackson in 1948, is a rather chilling short story about the vulnerability of a young child’s imagination, about the fantasies of the human mind, about the manipulation of humans, and about the insidious dangers of change. Jackson’s horrific tale stealthy kidnaps the oblivious reader from their seat and takes him or her on a non-stop ride that begins in a simple family home and ends in the darkest corner of the human imagination. By manipulating the innocent thoughts as a young boy into those of a grim reality, by employing innocence to camouflage hypocrisy and duplicity and by hiding behind the faultless nature of a young imagination to hide the insidious nature he possesses,

Montag is someone who is shy and keeps his thoughts to himself, but thinks many things. He shows that he is distracted instead of being happy throughout the book. At the time, he was walking home from work and was looking at Clarisse. Clarisse is a girl who would roam the streets and was also Montag's neighbor. She walks over to Guy and they start to have a conversation while walking to their houses. They discussing if talking about to see if Montag is really happy or if he was lying. She keeps questioning him. Bradbury explains “He was not happy. He was not happy. He said the words to himself. He recognized this as true state affairs. He wore his happiness like a mask and the girl had run across the lawn with the mask and the way

Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury, is set in 2053 in a city like Las Angeles. Bradbury wrote this novel in 1953, 100 years before the time this book was set. He intended to talk about a future society. Not only predicting a future society today but, predicting the way people are turning out. People in this society think it’s okay to burn pages of knowledge rather than read them. Firemen in this society have a job to burn books. The mood of this novel is terror and misery because people who own books live like this just to keep their books.

Monster by Sanyika Shakur yields a firsthand insight on gang warfare, prison, and redemption. “There are no gang experts except participants (xiii)” says Kody Scott aka. Monster. Monster vicariously explains the roots of the epidemic of South Central Los Angeles between the Crips and the Bloods that the world eventually witnessed on April 29, 1992. As readers we learn to not necessarily give gangs grace but do achieve a better understanding of their disposition to their distinct perception in life.

Before meeting Clarisse, Montag was a strong adherent of the societal function of book burning. He was rather oblivious to the ignorant and critically dull society he lived in. His meeting with Clarisse was the beginning of his Metamorphosis into a critically aware and enlightened individual, one who could see the errors of society in forming a bubble around them. This “bubble” forming that Clarisse leads Montag away from is a serious issue, and even affects our real modern day world.

Stephen King’s “On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft” is a marvelous and unusual text. Within the first part of his book, also called C.V., he explains his life experience up to the day he finishes the book. King expresses his life with multiple literary elements that assist the readers on imagining his life of adventures, catastrophes, fears, and loves. Following are three of my favorite passages that caught my attention.

Between 1890 and 1906, Black people were rejected from the area of politics, as southern states amended their constitutions to deny Black American citizens their voting rights that had been ratified by the Fifteenth Amendment. The beliefs of racial uplift, was an idea that placed responsibility on educated Black people for the well-being of the majority of their race. This was a reaction to the assault on African American civil and political rights, also known as “the Negro problem (Washington 8).” During this era, there were opportunities for Black people to become leaders of Black communities everywhere. African American leaders combated stereotypes by highlighting class differences among Blacks that believed in the stereotypes themselves. In 1903, W. E. B. Du Bois published the book, The Souls of Black Folk. He criticized "the old attitude of adjustment and submission" that had been expressed by Booker T. Washington in the Atlanta Compromise Address (Hill 734). Washington addressed that Southern Black people should work and submit to White political rule, while Southern White people guaranteed Black people the reception of basic educational and economic opportunities. Du Bois believed that full civil rights and increased political representation, would uplift the Black community during this time. African Americans needed the opportunities for advanced education to develop this sore of leadership, titled the “Talented Tenth”, an African-American intellectual elite

Stephen King is perhaps the most widely known American writer of his generation, yet his distinctions include publishing as two authors at once: Beginning in 1966, he wrote novels that were published under the pseudonym Richard Bachman. When twelve, he began submitting stories for sale. At first ignored and then scorned by mainstream critics, by the late 1980’s his novels were reviewed regularly in The New York Times Book Review, with increasing favor. Beginning in 1987, most of his novels were main selections of the Book-of-the-Month Club, which in 1989 created the Stephen King Library, committed to keeping King’s novels “in print in hardcover.” King published more than one hundred short stories (including the collections Night Shift,

“Good morning!” Ray said to his coworkers while walking into the office. “Morning Ray.” Many replied. Ray’s tall slender figure towered over his desk as he looked down on a ton of files. He grabbed his coffee, then got to work.
