Literature enlightens human beings about profound life lessons and the complexities of human interactions. In the fictional novel, "The Outsiders," by S.E. Hinton, the protagonist, Ponyboy Curtis, undergoes a multitude of traumatic experiences that change his life forever. Through elaborate direct and indirect characterization and symbolism, S.E. Hinton develops many universal themes. The value of friendship and gang loyalty, staying true to oneself, and closing the gap between the rich (Socs) and poor (greasers) are among the most significant themes that the author wants readers to learn from and apply in life.

This week as we watch O Brother, Where Art Thou? and The Piano, we are given two

Joseph J Ellis included “The Duel” in his book, Founding Brothers to show the extreme complexity behind the relationship between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr. This duel is normally represented in a short few lines that includes the date, the location, the outcome, and little details about the fashion in which they dueled. Although these representations are short and concise, they do not give the duel the justice it deserves. Ellis’ model does so by adding a lot more detail to help the audience understand it was more than a short and random interaction. Ellis explains how in order to understand the duel, one must examine the many and intricate causes of it, rather than what actually happened in those few seconds on top of the cliff in Weehawken, New Jersey. Ellis’ record of the most famous duel in American History can be used as a historical reference for the songs “Your Obedient Servant” and “The World Was Wide Enough” that are a part of the Hamilton soundtrack. One thing that was made sure after reading this book and listening to this song is that Lin Manuel Miranda did his research and made the songs in his soundtrack as historically accurate as possible.

THE 19th-century Russian novel has been born again in "The Brothers K," David James Duncan's wildly excessive, flamboyantly sentimental, tear-jerking, thigh-slapping homage to Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy -- and the game of baseball.

S.E. Hinton’s realistic fiction novel, The Outsiders, takes place in Tulsa, Oklahoma-where social divisions is the cause of all their problems. Ponyboy, a Greaser, lives in a society where you’re either socially accepted or not. He isn’t as privileged or lucky as the Socs and isn’t socially accepted. Ponyboy and his gang have to endure rude treatment, beatings, and being outcasted. One lesson the story suggests is to stay gold. While some readers believe this means to be who you are and not let others hurt you, I argue that this means to preserve your childhood innocence and not grow up to become a mature, cranky old man, but stay pure and innocent. This is indicated by Hinton’s use of characterization, dialogue, and conflict.

Brothers—Tecumseh has showed us our enemy. We must now come together and find a way to stop these white men. These are the descendants of the men our fathers once helped and cared for when they first appeared on our land. We helped these men in their distress and gave them part of our land now they look to rob us of our rights and strip us of our dignity. We shall not accept this wrongful act of disrespect and will crush them with the power of our Great Spirit. By letting the white men trample us and take our land, we are disappointing the Great Spirit whom gave us sacred land as his chosen people long ago. It is beyond my comprehension that this would be acceptable to any one of you here.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers was made during the Red Scare era where everyone in the United States was afraid of communism spreading across the country. This film is uniquely demonstrating how fast something can spread, especially when you let your guard down like they did when they fell asleep in the movie. The use of the pod in my opinion was to represent how easy it was to plant an idea in someone’s mind. One thing about communism is it grew rapidly kind like how the pods grew in the movie. It didn’t matter what the doc did or where they went someone in the movie always had a pod right around the corner for when they would go to sleep. That is how fast communism spread when you least expected it there were people among us ready to change

I view myself as someone who doesn’t enjoy sitting down and reading a book for pure enjoyment, but will read a book if required. In my opinion, I am like most teenagers in this regard. I believe that reading well and carefully is an important tool to master and reading books is one of the best ways to learn and gain knowledge. Throughout the first part of the course, I have discovered that by reading small segments of books, speeches and plays, that I can gain a lot of knowledge and actually enjoy learning while I read. During the first part of the course, I have been stretched and I’ve read outside of my comfort zone. I don’t know that I would have ever read Blood Brothers on my own, however I really enjoyed the book. I also really enjoyed

It was a dark, cold and mysterious place in the New York streets. Paying close attention we are able to see families suffering, fighting for their lives and even dying in the streets. Seeing families working together to improve their environment. It takes a lot to realize the truth and to accept it. We know that living like this is unacceptable, but we are too selfish to make a change cause we are afraid that it might affect us. Maybe we can work together to better ourselves and learn from mistakes rather than ignoring them. Anyone can help out it just takes patience and mental strength.
