In "The Store" by Edward P. Jones, the narrator seems to be an irresponsible, immature, and lazy at first. At the beginning, not even once he bothered thinking about the future. All he cared for was the cigarettes and the beers. He called them "valuables". Since he was living with his mom, he did not have to worry about the shelter and the food. Therefore, he did not bother to look for the new job. His mom did not seem to care about him fooling around jobless as well. Because of that, he did not care when his brother told him to look for a new job. Altogether, he was a waste at the beginning. However, Mr. Jones gave the strong clue about his future success by showing his strong work ethic when he said "Never late, never talked back and always volunteering" (142). With that in mind, there were some incidents as the story progressed, positive and negative that helped him to realize about his future.

Frederick Jones was a master blacksmith who emigrated from England to Erindale, Ontario where he set up his shop. From this small shop, Fred Jones plied his trade, shoeing horses and making wonderful wrought iron works, using simple forges and hand tools. His works can still be found in the village of historic structures like St. Peter’s Church, a masterpiece that sits high above the Credit River.

Today it is clear that there was no valid reason for the United States being involved in the conflict of the Vietnam War. Blinded by the fear of communism, the US entered the war in 1964. During the following nine years, nearly two million men were drafted. At first, the American public did support the war, but as it went on opinions shifted. The anti-war movement was fueled by young American protesters who were adamant that the US should not have gotten involved. Now 44 years later, director Jordan Vogt- Robert took influential elements of the war and its anti-war culture and turned it into a franchised monster movie. Kong: Skull Island is not quite a cinema masterpiece, but through it is symbolism, views on war, color choices, and soundtrack make it an effective statement on Vietnam War.

By doing so, Atwood is displaying a society where individuals are stripped of their fundamental human rights- free will, they are deemed as incapable of creating decisions for themselves. Moira comments that, “You can't help what you feel...but you can help how you behave”. It is expected of the Handmaid’s to control their ‘feelings’ -they have to supress their sexual desire and sexuality.
