In Susan Griffin’s work titled “Our Secret”, she discusses the relationship between the present-day and the earlier life of different people. She also compares the private and public lives of other people. Her piece is set during World War Two in the 1940s. Throughout the entire piece, Griffin compares the lives of people evolved in World War Two, people who were affected by the war, and her own life. She shows how even though they lived separate lives, they are still closely related.

Margaret Peterson Haddix’s Among the Hidden, Among the Hidden’s 1st book revolves around survival, love, and friendship. As a reader, I felt that the plot was unexpected.

Shhhh! Can you keep a secret? This book involves a very big confidential, if you can’t keep you mouth sealed, then keep your hands off this precious book. If you can, then read The Name of this Book is Secret by Pseudonymous Bosch. A perfect mystery/adventure story that will chill your bones.The two main protagonists are Cassandra(Cass) and Max-Ernest. Cassandra(Cass) is a survivalist. She has everything in her backpack to survive. She doesn’t like to give up. For example, when Max-Ernest said that going to the Midnight Sun (hotel owned by Dr.L and Ms.M) was to dangerous she didn’t give up and continued without him. Max-Ernest is the total opposite of Cass. It’s because he likes to play safe rather than taking risks and saving the world.This

A particular question that is seldom pondered over and yet is capable of carrying so many doubts within it: who are we? Who are we as a society who can do the things we do? Who are we who can suffer from them? Award winning poet and essayist Susan Griffin confronts these distinct questions in her work titled, “Our Secret”. Griffin believes that a basic understanding of the things that play a part in the growth of an individual is essential to understanding who we are. The way a child is raised dictates how that child is going to become later on in life. One of the distinct highlights of Griffin’s essay was her use of describing the progress of the V1 rockets in World War II. Griffin studies the aspects of human nature by using these missile developments as a metaphor to symbolize the raising of children and the factors that can influence a growing individual. One of the prime figures that Griffin uses pertaining to these growing individuals was Heinrich Himmler, leader of the Nazi secret police. Griffin uses Himmler as an example to demonstrate how big of a role a parental figure can play in the development of a person.

In the next few chapters of Secrets in the Shadows, I hope to learn a lot. I wish the main character Roylin Bailey realizes that his crush, Korie Archer, doesn’t like him for who he really is. I also hope that he realizes that he is turning into the very person he hates.

People usually move to the United States in order to get a better education than their home country can provide. Some people will proceed to the extreme of crossing the border illegally in order to find a better life. Even though the process is extremely long and enduring, most people abide the process of gaining citizenship in America. Although these people carry on through great lengths to achieve this they may not get what they had expected. This is the case in the poem “The Secret,” by Pablo Medina, in which the narrator describes his new life in the USA not to be as he had expected. Expecting to find a better life he left his home country, excited about the newfound opportunity to learn and more freedom than he had his home

In the text Black Athena by Martin Bernal, Bernal provides a contemporary and interesting perspective in relation to the discussion and examination of Ancient Greece’s development as a society as well as a culture. Throughout Black Athena, Bernal discusses the Ancient Model and Aryan Model, which are the two models that have been constructed and utilized to assist historians in understanding the reality and truth of how Ancient Greece developed to the society and culture it has become (Bernal, 1). Bernal specifies the clear distinctions when he discussing how both models have influence modern historians’ and their perceptions towards Ancient Greece; furthermore, he discusses how Ancient Greece has been examined and interpreted through the utilization of the Aryan model, which is viewing Ancient Greece as being influenced by Europeans (Bernal, 1). However, Bernal holds a completely different viewpoint on how Ancient Greece grew into the civilization it is. Through the examination of the linguistic and cultural similarities, Bernal argues the invasions by the Egyptians and the Phoenicians laid out the foundation for the development of Ancient Greek civilization and culture (Bernal, 2). In other words, he emphasizes how Ancient Greece’s development should be examine through what he calls the “Revised Ancient Model” (Bernal, 2), as he makes it evident that this model effectively shows the true and “complex reality” (Bernal, 3) of Ancient Greece.

One of the basic themes of the book is that the thought and the art of classical Athens is full of meaning for people of later generations. It is the full of meaning for nations, cultures and societies beset by broad-scale and profound social and political change and the accompanying confusion and fear produced in the minds and souls of human beings.

I am writing to you about your actions in the book The Secret Keepers by Trenton Lee Stewart. You made a couple really interesting decisions and I was wondering about why you made them. Your main problem throughout the book was trying to find the other watch. Your solution was to take control of the city that it was in, New Umbra, and have your servants search for.

When you heard anything about the other watch you became extremely gullible, which made it possible for Reuben and Jack to trick you. I also have a couple questions for you. Why did you devote your entire life to searching for the other watch? Was it really worth it to live

According to Scholastic, “With Found, Margaret Peterson Haddix begins a new series that promises to be every bit as suspenseful as Among the Hidden.” Found is a great book but some may think the book is slow, making the reader bored, but Found provides suspense, plot twists, and even a cliffhanger ending.

At first glance, Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour,” Susan Glaspell’s Trifles, and Henrik Isben’s A Doll House seem to have nothing in common. However, the short story and plays have many similarities. Particularly, five women from these tales— Louise Mallard, Minnie Wright, Mrs. Peters, Mrs. Hale, and Nora Helmer—make drastic decisions that appear to be motiveless. Without context, any reader could be confused by Louise’s death, Nora’s departure, and Mrs. Peters and Mrs. Hale’s unanimous effort to cover up the murder that Minnie Wright committed, which also seems to lack serious motive. However, all of these women’s settings, situations, and lives have connections that make their motives similar. Emotion motivates all five women—not just

     All in all, Beauty Queens paves a new road in the world of women's literature. The author manages to dismantle misogynistic ideas through  cutthroat characters and annihilating social normalities, all through a feminist

Shame is not an emotion known to the Athenians. Currently Pericles and his cabal of artists and builders are constructing a temple to Athena on the Acropolis, a grandiose replacement for the shabby temple that the Persian army burned to the ground thirty-four years ago, a fact that Herodotus tends not to dwell on. “Do you mean, Ambassador, that the account we have just heard is untrue?” Thucydides was insolent. I daresay he was drunk.

Donna Tartt’s novel The Secret History is a story of destruction, mystery, and sacrifice. Tartt, born in 1963 in Mississippi, received most of her post-secondary education at Bennington College in Vermont, which later influenced the setting of her aforementioned novel. Almost considered a literary prodigy, her writing and intellect were impressive to peers and professors alike. Like her main characters in the novel, she studied Classics. In her novel, she explores the chaotic world of college, and addresses several themes that are not very common for college students. Some of these themes include moral ambiguity, adhering to ancient values, and death.
