One in twenty people do not worry about growing old. It is time to let go and remember, that this is the only life I get to live. Something Wicked This Way Comes, The Art of Resilience, and The Third and Final Continent all render minutiae on the three declarations that will be specified. Firstly, characterization, helps to develop the plot of each story and contribute to the moral. Secondly, facts and detailed information contributes by bringing content to the passages. Lastly, in all three literary devices, there is a similar reoccurring motif. The main moral portrayed in the three pieces of literature is that the ability to grow gives a person the aptitude to change; but if they withhold from change, there could be unwanted consequences.

In “The Author to Her Book,” Bradstreet is inundated in indecision and internal struggles over the virtues and shortfalls of her abilities and the book that she produced. As human beings we associate and sympathize with each other through similar experiences. It is difficult to sympathize with someone when you don’t know where they are coming from and don’t know what they are dealing with. Similar experiences and common bonds are what allow us to extend our sincere appreciation and understanding for another human being’s situation. In this poem an elaborate struggle between pride and shame manifests itself through an extended metaphor in which she equates her book to her own child.

Alden Nowlan’s story called “The Fall of a City” discusses the central theme of how life circumstances are beyond human control in most of the cases. This theme is applied to the specific idea of coming of age through the story of the main character. Teddy is an eleven-year-old boy who lives with his uncles. Teddy spends the afternoons playing in the attic and creating a paper world: the kingdom of Upalia. The uncle and the aunt are suspicious about what the child is doing up there, and after discovering it, they mock his nephew’s behavior. Teddy becomes angry with himself and destroys the paper city. The story contains multiple literary techniques which show to the reader the opposition or rejection between Teddy’s real life and his paper

The author also effectively supports his thesis through pathos. To evoke strong emotion in his readers, Jones appeals to the audience’s feeling of vulnerability in their youth. Recognizing that during adolescence most people feel powerless, he tells engaging stories of his own and his son’s rise to power through comic books to give the audience something to connect to. As these stories are told, readers reminisce about those days, and feel joy in knowing that there was a happy ending. The feelings created make the audience look positively at the essay and relate to it.

For Gary, he has always struggled as a kid, in his childhood his divorced mother and him moved around a lot and he accepts “I guess I just got lost in the changes”. In school, Gary had teachers who didn’t care for him and was put into special ed. classes playing cards for two years. School to him was pretty much a joke, he just flew by the easy way in high school. Even though it has been 15 years since he graduated he admitted his problem, “I was still running from this reading thing”, he went to find a solution by entering a literacy program. Eventually about a year later him and his colleagues ended up writing a play about his struggles, which shown what it was like to not be able to read and write. From writing to producing and even acting out this play, it could not have been easy. Looking back there was a lot of wasted time in school but he persevered and became successful with reading and writing which was well explained in his

During the story, the author shared many political views. “Political Angles” of How to Read Literature Like a Professor it addresses the world’s realities of social and political problems. This shares similar ideas from Harrison Bergeron. For example, in Harrison Bergeron, it starts out by stating the 212th, 213th, and 214th amendments of the Constitution that made the society equal.

Transitions can result in entering new social contexts, resulting in a new phase of life in which a positive outlook on life is attained. Herrick is able to convey this in The Simple Gift as Billy needs to transition into a more satisfying and fulfilling life through entering a completely new social context. Assonance and profanity in “each deadbeat no-hoper s—thole lonely downtrodden house” emphasises and drives home his resentment for his current social context and highlights the need for Billy to transition into a new stage in his life, while the use of first person in “I’m not proud, I’m sixteen and soon to be homeless” foreshadows that from Billy’s point of view transition is going to be of a confronting nature. A stark contrast is seen between this description and that of Billy’s use of positive

The two articles “Boys Life and “Emancipation: A Life Fable” both have a comparable theme. The theme is similar because in both passages the main character is looking for freedom. Moreover, in the text “Boys Life” Cory wants to get dismissed from class because it is the last day of school. In “Emancipation: A Life Fable” the animal wants to escape his cage to wander the Earth. The passages also show that new situations can cause discomfort.

The characteristic of slow work repeats in the two types of stories told by Fr. Boyle. The one that grabs the readers’ attention more describes the lives of people in detail and with resolution. Whether the youth he met ends up going to a jail or finds a job and a home in Homeboy Industries, we know to an extent what their stories are. We can understand and imagine the lives of the youth from childhood, the problems they faced, the way they went about handling them, and what Fr. Boyle thought and did during those times. The other type consists of brief mentions of the people Fr. Boyle ran into. He can only tell us what happened and what he hoped at the time, but we are left without fuller stories of the people. These unsatisfying accounts, however, are proof of the author’s intention for writing this book. We are not supposed to read about the lives and, really, the challenging situations of the youth and attempt to find solutions. Especially as a stereotypical student studying at Georgetown University, I tend to think I need to fix the problem and make the world a better place. But the purpose of the book is really to teach me to have compassion. So, the readers can notice from the two types of stories Fr. Boyle

In Mary Beard’s book, The Roman Triumph, she explores one of the most interesting victory celebrations of the ancient world. Instead of having a small gathering, or even a raucous party, Romans brought what they had seized and carted it through the city. They even brought some people they had captured so that the crowd could know exactly who they triumphed against. This celebration gives historians a view into the Romans lifestyle. Roman triumphs also show what values were important to the Romans and where they found their significance. Using Mary Beard’s book I will demonstrate the nature of Roman triumphs by giving examples from Pompey’s triumph in 61BC, what these triumphs tell historians about the Roman world and why they are significant, and what they tell us about the values the Romans held dear.

The Roman empire is considered one of the most powerful and longest lasting empire of all time by most historians. At its peak the Roman empire managed to take control and rule nearly the whole inhabited world at the time. Though their military achievements were outstanding the Romans also excelled at legislature. The Romans ran a governmental system which was most like a republic which the power was in the hand of the senators and patricians. The senators and patricians were mostly extremely rich elders of the community who linked themselves to gods. Though the people were the ones who voted for the senators the rich always voted who they wanted because they were the first to vote which made the senate corrupt since the lower classes barely got a say. Although the Roman empire was extremely successful historians are always doing research to figure out what elements led to its collapse. However, the Roman legislature, use of propaganda to sway public opinion, military power to conquer lands, and philosophy were essential reasons for the extended survival of the Roman empire.

In John Updike’s “A&P,” and William Faulkner’s “Barn Burning,” the reader is given a glimpse into the lives of two boys living in much different worlds, but sharing many characteristics. Both Sammy and Sarty experience coming of age in their respective ways. Through the authors’ use of language, imagery, and plot, it becomes clear that Sarty, although younger than Sammy, is more heavily affected by his coming of age experience.
