Edward Scissorhands and We Have Always Lived in the Castle are considered to be apart of the Gothic Fiction genre. The Gothic genre is a very modern one. As stated in The British Library on Gothic Motifs, “Gothic novels of the late 18th and 19th centuries…including marginal places, transitional time periods and the use of fear and manipulation.” Gothic literature is a type of literature that combines the supernatural, the absurd, and the grotesque in order to get the point behind the story across to the reader. This type of literature has a certain feel to it that can make a person question the story to where they use the darkness of it to find the meaning behind the story instead of using the light of the story.

No one can imagine or realize the sadness and suffering that war brings to people from all walks of life. In “My Parents’ Bedroom”, by Uwem Akpan and “The Man I Killed”, by Tim O’Brien, both stories talk about the pain and suffer that war brings to the narrator as well as the suffering that is happening in the narrative. In “My Parents’ Bedroom”, the protagonist Monique is a little girl who lost her mother because of the genocidal killings of Tutsi, in a small village in Rwanda. Monique has to understand the truth of the cruel and haunted world that she lives in little by little, even though she does not want to accept the reality. Akpan makes the genocide that is happening feel real and makes the events comes to life in his story.

Of course, every poet has their beginnings. Edward Estlin’s life began on the 14th of October in 1984 in Cambridge, Massachusetts to well-educated and liberal parents, and Rebecca Haswell Clark.

Being in my mid sixty's these are only the second pair of hedge trimmers that I've owned. The first were inherited from my father and they had a serrated cutting blade. This pair is high tech what with a Titanium blade coating, gear drive, and metal handlebars with ergonomic handle grips.

The husband is by himself now, alone in the living room. Moments go by before an expensive coffee table is upside down, with shards of a vase decorating the floor.

Other characters that are important are Daniel, Bo and Aunt Annie. Daniel is Kate’s boyfriend, whom she is very interested in. She sees open-mindedness and a kindness soul in him, qualities, which she is lacking in herself. He reminds Kate of Matt even though she disagrees with that fact, for example she says, “But Daniel is a curious man. He shares with Matt.” (36) It is very surprising he is interested in her bitter personality and also after many times asking her to tell him about herself, but denying. He knows completely nothing of her. But, I believe he is mostly attracted to her because of her trustworthiness. Bo, the youngest sibling was only at the age of one and a half years when their parents died. But, from what I can collect

The short story “That Room”, written by Tobias Wolff is written all around symbolism. One of the first examples I originally noticed was how he would sometimes gaze out into the fields as an escape from the current job he was assigned to such as “shoveling shit” or “hacking weeds”. As the story goes on, the narrator finally gets what he wants, a job in the fields with the other boys. After he obtained that job, that room that they stay in is a horrible place to live, the conditions are terrible and it is one of the grimiest places possible. This one room though, is filled with symbols, enough that it changes the story in the blink of an eye.

The night I trudged over to the Viziers room, I was sweating bullets and my hands were shaking so much I could barely open the door when he called to come in. As I walked in, he was working on something, but I could not see it very well considering he had his body shielding it. I called for him and he whipped around demanding to tell him what I want and to get out. I shrunk a bit from the pique in his voice. I told him what I wanted, but my voice trailed off softly making me look even more ridiculous. He had a weird look on his face as he tilted his head slightly to the right. His left eye twitched before he slowly made his way towards me. I backed up until I hit the wall. I was horrified; I have never seen him act like this since I first came

To Room Nineteen and The Story of an Hour are two excellent pieces of literature that reflect the position of women in the entire world. Since the twentieth century subdued women have struggled to have a voice. Not only did they look for equality as regards position in society, but also to be happy without depending on men. Moreover, if you continue reading this essay you are going to find how oppression due to lifestyle affects the main characters of the stories already mentioned as well as how they are dependent on men. Besides, you will notice that escapism from reality is present in both stories.

Identity can be defined as the fact of being whom or what a person is. Internal and external factors shape a child’s concept of their own identity. These factors include the environmental setting, family, community, and the media. In the novel Room by Emma Donoghue, the 5-year-old narrator/protagonist Jack learns his identity through exploring the familiar space he occupies, the close relationship between he and his mother, and watching television.
