The rapid industrialization of the Earth has been one of the greatest changes the earth has undergone, surpassing in magnitude the numerous ice ages or massive extinctions. This industrialization prompted a large chunk of the Earth's population to dwell in cities. As a result, much of the wide open spaces of "nature" were transformed into an environment dominated by buildings and congested with roads and people. It is then no surprise that humans separate themselves from nature and expect nature to be "pristine." Imagine for a moment that you are at a place where you feel like you are "away from it all." It's a special place where you are surrounded by sceneries not usually commonplace. You are surrounded by rows of, swarms of bugs and the

In the book Night by Elie Wiesel there are many instances where his use of imagery helps establish tone and purpose. For example Elie Wiesel used fire (sight) to represent just that. The fire helps prove that the tone is serious and mature. In no way did Wiesel try to lighten up the story about the concentration camps or the Nazis. His use of fire also helps show his purpose. “Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, that turned my life into one long night seven times scaled. Never shall I forget that smoke. Never shall I forget the small faces of the children whose bodies I saw

In Auschwitz, death and suffering is rampant, but due to compassionate words and actions from others, Elie is able to withstand these severe living conditions and overcome the risk of death in the unforgiving Auschwitz.

This paper attempts to offer a Marxist reading of Conrad 's Heart of Darkness (1899) and Defoe's The Life and Strange Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe (1719) . Specifically , this paper highlights how the concept of commodification helps us to understand the dialectic struggle between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat which are both considered the products of their socioeconomic and material circumstance with an emergent capitalist culture. By depicting how capitalists in the two novellas commodify objects or humans and by investigating the struggles between the 'haves' and the 'haves-not' .

Page number seventeen begins when the Germans are clearing out the ghetto, in which Wiesel first states, “On everyone’s back, there was a sack.” From his position on the sidewalk, he describes the raw emotions that everyone’s eyes and posture were exposing, but no one had the courage to speak about. He says that as everyone moved in a slow and steady pace to the gate of the ghetto with distress and tears running down their cheeks. He states that he is stiff, unable to move, when the whole situation becomes surreal, as if it was torn out of a novel. Wiesel sees Chief Rabbi hunched over with a bundle on his back, looking strange without a beard and hunched. Teachers, friends, and people who Wiesel had once feared or had found ridiculous all

“Hunters in the Snow”, by Tobias Wolff, is a short story that revolves around an ill-fated hunting trip between three friends. Wolff is known to be a fantastic writer, who utilizes various literary devices, as well as an exemplary setting description that really sets up the mood of his stories. Although this short story is rife with powerful literary devices, there are four very powerful symbols that I feel are the most relevant to the story. The criteria in choosing these symbols lies solely on how they drove the story, and represented the most pivotal moments. The symbols (In no specific order of significance) are the snow, the “No Hunting” sign, the truck, and the dog.

The author writes a cute and comical essay remembering her teenage years listening to stories told to her by her Grandfather and then a happenstance meeting with a supposed Hee Haw Honey in a Waffle House in Erlanger, KY later in her life. In her adult life she was a reporter at one point and then switched to writing creative nonfiction, this piece of work is a creative tie between the two worlds bonding fact with fiction.

Her dilemma is that her Grandfather made up stories but ends up writing about him and how she responds when faced with a person who is flat out lying

Bahauddin grabbed for a place to rest his hand while he lifted his feet, climbing through the shaft, out of the caverns. Every crack of stone was filled with overgrown moss, As he rose, he could see the sky was just before nightfall. The only sound around was the howl of the wind, and the keys clanging against each other like a windchime during a breezy spring afternoon. Ascending up the shaft, he was cautiously concentrating for each and every placement of his hands and feet, careful not to slip. Bahauddin’s hand grasped the top of the shaft. The sky was painted with brush strokes of blood orange, reflecting a glare off the keys. Outside, it had looked like a warzone. No buildings fully structured, not a person in sight, just crumbs

“I am Nathan Andrews. I have come to explore and study this magnificent castle.” Before he can ask her to introduce herself, she’s attacking him. With expert instincts, his hand pull the sword from its sheath with ease in time to block a blow. “Woah! Wait! What did I do wrong?”

Lies, lies, lies! How can one narrator run into so many lies? Leslie Rubinowski, author of In the Woods, tells us a light hearted, amusing story based on a couple of her personal life encounters. Her story begins with encompassing her as a teenager listening to fabricated stories told by her Grandfather. Then we get to hear her experience or brief encounter with a supposed Hee Haw Honey. Her essay lets us see her exploring between two writing styles, creative and journalistic, and the associated struggles with composing in these very different literary styles. Can she play with her creative writing and tie in the journalistic report with maybe a few embellishments for better emphasis? I think she does this quite well.

According to Frazier “In Praise of Margins”, “marginal” places and activities are valuable because they help people use their imagination, allowing them to free themselves. Margins could be anything from playing basketball, hanging out with friends, spending time alone, reading books, travelling, to anything that makes a person happy. Frazier gives a flashback to the place where he spent his childhood time and participated in foolish activity on “The woods” just for sake of doing them. He used to spend a lot of time on the woods with his friends and he found his freedom by exploring the forest. In his words they (him and

I hear a deafening scream from what sounds of across the lane. It was from the fair lady next door. Oh, how despondent I felt for her, an adolescent that was a work of art now gone. The child’s blonde hair always bounced when she skipped
