Good authors can create wonderful stories, but it all starts with the setting. Without the setting, the story will have no plot and the characters will have no reason to be there because the setting is a crucial element. Barry Callaghan, the author of “Our Thirteenth Summer” can effectively use setting as an important part of a story. The setting of “Our Thirteenth Summer” is in Toronto’s Annex District during the 1840’s, when the Holocaust was occurring. The setting influences the behaviour of the characters and reflects the society in which the characters live.

The book I selected to read during this semester is the literary classic The Call of the Wild, a 1903 novel by award-winning author Jack London. I chose to read this story because it is a classic novel and the heroic tone of the novel appealed to me. The novel tells of an initially pampered dog, Buck, and the progression of his tendency to revert to the inner instincts of fierce violence and extreme competition instilled in him. In the process, Buck goes through several different masters before finally landing with the right one.

To begin, Topdog/Underdog is about two African-American brothers, Lincoln and Booth. Their father decided to name them after Mr. Booth and President Lincoln because it would be a funny joke. The choice of naming the children after an assassin and his target foreshadows how the end of the story ends. Lincoln the oldest of the two brothers was a master of 3-Card Monte. Lincoln stopped playing after a friend was killed during a game. He then started working at a carnival, impersonating Abraham Lincoln which is also ironic. Booth is the younger brother, who wants to follow in his brother footsteps, he wants his brother to teach him his skills, so that they can work together conning people. Lincoln does not want to go back to that lifestyle, but one night he does. Booth ends up getting stood up by the woman of his dreams, then gets hustled by his brother Lincoln. All of this ends up being too much for Booth to handle which pushes him to kill his brother Lincoln.

In order to know who the protagonist of a story is, it is essential to know what a protagonist is. According to Literary Devices, “A protagonist is the central character or leading figure in poetry, narrative, novel, or any other story”. This means that the protagonist is the main character of the story. The story revolves around this character and the conflict affects them. A protagonist is usually an honorable and sincere person who looks out for others. For a character to be the protagonist, the audience must be able to relate to that character.

There are different forms and examples of exemplary and classic literature which have been deemed as significant works that are highly esteemed worldwide.

White Fang by Jack London is a breathtaking example of classical composition. This piece of fictionalized American literature has shown, in the simplest way possible, the struggles of a wild made tame wolf as he is thrown in and out of captivity.

He hated his own species and humans because of the cruel treatment he had received, but by the end White Fang was able to learn what trust and loyalty truly meant. This tale has become an important part of literary history because of it’s tantalizing plot that keeps you riveted. You’ll be rooting for White Fang from the very beginning of the book.
