Today, there are many different social classes in the world. They are seperated by properties, an education, and a social position. Because it is democratic society, people can say their opinions and put in the action if it is not against the law. For equal punishment, we have law; all people can be equal by law, but we are not equal by money. We are also living in capitalistic society. Who ever have more property, is high class, and they can distort the story to their own advantages. Many people are obedient to money and sometimes they have no choice. people get treated differently depend on race, classes, and educational background, so all people cannot be equal. All these discriminations from quite a while ago. In America there were many african slaves. The book “The Big House And The Slave Quarters” talked about an environment and life of slaves in America.

In order to properly analyze Martin Fletcher's portrayal of religion in his first book, the travel-based work of non-fiction Almost Heaven: Travels Through the Backwoods of America, it is essential to elucidate his general purpose and path in embarking on this literary and literal journey. Fletcher is a British citizen who had been stationed in Washington's District of Columbia for several years prior to engaging on his trek across the U.S. As such, he informs the reader early on in the manuscript that he sought those places he had either reported about or heard about during his tenure as a reporter. One of his goals was to travel to places that were off the proverbial 'beaten track', cities and small town areas in which tourists do not visit, and which many Americans who do not happen to live there are not even aware of. As such, it is fairly apparent that his goal is to find as many people and events taking place in these areas that are non-traditional as possible the fact that many of them happen to pertain to religion only emphasizes their 'exotic' nature, particularly to other conventionally conservative Europeans. In this respect, the reader can infer (if from nothing else than from the title alone) that the author will portray religion in a decidedly light-hearted manner although the author seems to even surprise himself in uncovering a religious conviction even he cannot deny at times.

Religion is one of the main themes in her works and also in "Greenleaf." In this short story, the Southern writer exposes two of her major preoccupations about religion:

Reading the book Runaway, provides you with a different perspective on certain aspects of our world that would not have been experienced otherwise. For example, most kids Holly's age would cringe at the thought of going back to school, however that was high on the list of Holly's desires. Holly even went so far as to steal textbooks from a high school to try and teach herself. To many in the U.S., Los Angeles is viewed as the "City of Angels" but to Holly, it was a place where danger lurked in the dingy alleys and behind the corners of the dirty streets. A place where cars would slowly follow her, and men would stare at her as she passed, and she knew that no one would know if she vanished. With her experience running away, Holly even looks

Born on this day in 1832, Louisa May Alcott led a fascinating life. Besides enchanting millions of readers with her novel Little Women, she worked as a Civil War nurse, fought against slavery, and registered women to vote. For Louisa, writing was an early passion. She had a very deep and rich imagination and her novels often became the basis of melodramas that she and her sisters would act out for their friends. Louisa preferred to play the "lurid" parts in these plays --"the villains, ghosts, bandits, and disdainful queens." Scholars have argued that Little Women affects critics emotionally because of their adolescent connection to the story, thus coloring scholarly interpretations of the work. This essay will talk about Alcott and the three critics Judith Fetterly, Ken Parille and Sarah Wordsworth who criticized the story "Little Women" from different perspectives.
