In Malamud’s The Natural, Roy Hobbs’s character represents a familiar coming-of-age story prominent in literature, which emphasizes psychological and moral growth from youth to adulthood. However, unlike most coming-of-age novels, Malamud defers from predictability and uses an ironic storyline to convey character flaws. The opening scene provides and highlights Roy’s egotistical pride, lustful desires, and competitive nature during Roy’s childhood which will be the foundation for the theme of how one must mature or their juvenile qualities will be the downfall to their ultimate demise.

I felt my heart racing as I imagined making the top team in the club. I knew right then and there that I was going to try out for the team as soon as I discussed it with my parents. After my parents’ approval, I went to the first tryout with high expectations and aspirations. The tryout was going well at first; my skill was evident on the ice. I was making quick passes and skating hard. I will never forget the fateful pass that happened next. I remember the play in slow motion. I passed the puck through the center ice, a precarious move, but it was intercepted by the opposing team and as a result they scored a swift goal. Groans from the other players could be heard and my heart sank. That pass would determine my fate. After the tryout, I undressed slowly replaying the pass repeatedly in my head. Coach Ruben walked out of his office with the list of players who made the team in his hand. As he posted the list on the bulletin board, all the eager players ran over, examining the list of names. I stared at at the list for what seemed like an eternity searching for my name, but it was not there. I stifled my disappointment and followed my parents out to the car. To my ten year old self, my dreams were crushed and I assumed my hockey career was over before it even

I wake up grab my lacrosse stick, ball and head outside. Grab the net and started to shoot.

The narrator though an educator, is not very good at verbalizing his emotions. He tends to be the person who keeps everything inside

The poor man lurches towards the nest, a blood trail left by the cut in his foot wanders behind the fellow. His stomach stirs up in a fit, he hasn 't eaten in a few days. Footsteps echo throughout the corridor, drowsey the man confuses his own footsteps for those of the creature that defends this cavern. A cold air grazes his neck as he waits to see if the his ears have mistaken something else for the creature 's footstep, all is silent only his breath pierces the air. A pidder padder rears it 's head, the sound of clomping crashes into the man 's eardrums as he begins to shake in fear. Chilled to his core he anticipates the worst, but yet in a surprising relief the clomping subsides. The young fellow peers from behind the corner to see the creature he fears most tanning in the sunlight. The creature that has been built up to him since his infancy in all his glory he shimmers in the sunlight. The Minotaur, also known to the children as The Mighty Babe. Armed with his horns, his uniform, and his honor bestowed upon him by the grateful townsfolk. For here he is the warrior of Uptown, a symbol of protection for all that live there. The Young man from the county north of Uptown never thought he would be this close to a legendary hero like Babe, but his desperation has drawn them together. For the nest holds the eggs, but let’s be honest, most of you could have assumed this, you’re not stupid.

To my fellow budding vocalists, the Romantic Era was a time period in which music was bursting at the seems; many composers were experimenting with the power of musical devices, which was extremely evident in Franz Shubert’s “The Erlking”. This piece of music that was originally a poem depicts the gruelling story of a son with his father, travelling on a horse by night. The boy notices a dark being (The Erlking) that is slowly advancing towards him; however, the father dismisses these thoughts and reassures him that there is nothing there. Eventually, the boy realises he has been attacked by The Erlking, soon being taken by the pillars of death. In pieces such as “The Erkling”, Franz Schubert was considered as a creative composer who was among the initial artists in the Romantic Era; he employed emotion and a sense of purpose within his compositions. Hence, I believe that Franz Schubert’s Lied “The Erlking” consistently unified poetry and music to compliment the Romantic era, purposefully creating drama and sound because of the various musical elements utilized throughout the piece. The musical elements that are explored in order to prove the hypothesis comprise of Melody and Dynamics, with the analysis of each character’s development: The Narrator, the Erkling, the father and the son.

He prefers to dramatise instead of just explaining the story monotonously. His presentation of the story is striking with the perfect balancing of the characters and plots. The episodes, that make-up the plot, have the oneness and furtherance of the play. Plot is the key of the craft, like a virtuoso he would deluge up construction for the illustration

‘How do you muster the strength to break your parents’ hearts?’ This passage from Deranged Marriage is about Sushila Das, the author, and her decision to not follow in the family tradition of arranged marriage and her parents’ reaction. This is one of the most important passages in the book as this is when Das decides to turn her life around and live how she wants it, hopefully with her parents blessing. Das’s intention with this piece was like her memoir to take her stand against aspects in Indian culture, this was her final foot down to her parents refusing to follow their traditions knowing and regretting the backlash that would hit her parents. She does this by reflecting a critical eye on herself with internal dialog and commentary on dialog while having this conversation with her father.
