Buddha once said, “Three things cannot long be hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.” The truth is often buried but it always seems to find a way to resurface. In Cinda Williams Chima’s novel The Enchanter Heir the main character, Jonah Kinlock, is a survivor of a massacre on an underguild commune in Thorn Hill, Brazil; the underguilds being sorcerers, seers, enchanters, and warriors. In the “peaceful” commune some of the children were subjected to experiments in which their weir stones were modified. This gave them special abilities, such as Jonah’s poison skin similar to a poison dart frog. Fast forward to a seventeen year old Jonah who is now the top assassin for a group called Nightshade. Nightshade is an organization that hunts down and “frees” the

Aspects such as abnormality, the visits to the supernatural world, and greater knowledge gain than original expected of the epic hero archetype guide the reader through this story. Leading them to realize that without understanding the dangers of something irreversible mistakes may be made and yet at the same time wisdom allows for innovation and progress to

I believe the connection Utanapishtim is making between the sleeper and the dead being alike is because often when people die, it’s referred to as being in a permanent sleep. The only difference between the two is, when you’re asleep you wake up and when you’re dead you stay asleep. After that quote it gets confusing, because Untanapishtim goes on to say, “They limn not death’s image, No one dead has ever greeted a human in this world.” (80). I had to look up what the word “limn” meant and found out that it means to depict or describe. Therefore, I took that sentence to mean, sleep and death does not describe death’s image. I’m not really sure what Utanapishtim was trying to say as I read further past the quote of the sleeper and the dead being alike, but in today’s time I would take that simile as being compared to when people say, “When you die, you’re just sleeping.”

In the novel The Octopus: A Story of California by Frank Norris, a major dispute in the 1900s took place between major railroad owners and farmers that shared the land the railroads would run through. For the ranchers, their way of life would be transformed by the railroad expansion as the major railroad companies had a sort of monopoly in the rail system that gave them legality over the land. Expansion really transformed the American way of life while illustrating to the reader how the ‘American Dream’ was trying to be reached in this particular scenario. As in most American literature novels, there is a protagonist and an antagonist in Norris’ work. The protagonists being the farmers while the antagonists is seen as the railroad ‘big

Joyce Carol Oates’s novel You Must Remember This tells the story of Enid Stevick, a young woman growing up in the middle of the 1950s whose secret sexual relationship with her uncle marks her transition from girlhood to womanhood. Enid is one of the most intriguing characters in the novel, not only because of her relationship with Felix, but also because of her intense interest in the gruesome, the macabre, and the violent. Despite being the youngest daughter of the Stevick family, Enid’s innocence is only a façade; her private world is full of secret acts of rebellion, and her powers of observation are uncannily precise. Indeed, Enid uses all of this – her secret relationship,

I believe elies goals for writing this novel was for people to understand how important family is. Ellie showed us in his novel how much he cared for his father when he was sick, weak, and scared. The loyalty for your father is one of the most important realitns in the book. The quote “Be good and you shall see good in everything”. This quote really shows elies faith. Elies faith is what kept him going and gave him a strive to survive and keep pushing through. Ellie believed that if he stayed alive that his father would live to. If he died he would believe his father would not have a new chance. Ellie quoted “never shall I forget that night in camp, which turned my life into one long night” shows how long those nights were in camp. After the first night in camp Ellie knew his life was not going to be the same or get better anytime soon. When Ellie states the fact that the first night was the longest makes you think if all the other nights were shorter and just felt very short

In Pearl S. Buck’s novel, The Good Earth, the protagonist, Wang Lung, starts out as a very poor farmer in China. He marries a slave named O-lan and starts a family with her. Famine soon strikes the town and there is no food to be found anywhere. Wang Lung moves his family South in hopes of finding a job there.

Wang Lung uses this stolen money to buy more land and hire laborers. He quickly becomes one of the richest men in his town. Wang Lung, however, does not know that with great wealth comes great responsibility. His wealth corrupts him and his moral judgements become blurred. Wang

The Good Earth is a novel of a family’s journey throughout the years. Although the novel may seem to focus upon the family, the author wrote the book to show the life of women at the time. Women had little to no rights and only had certain tasks to undertake. Most women were slaves sold to men and were treated very poorly. The Good Earth tells a story about a hard working but powerless woman, Olan, who resembles closely to and contradicts “The Virtuous” woman.

Many people believe that it is not possible for the Earth to be drastically affected by a meteor or other object from space. However, scientists who study near-earth objects have discovered an asteroid named Apophis who, in their studies, will most likely hit Earth in 2036. In the novel This World We Live In by Susan Pfeffer, a meteor hits the moon, causing the Earth’s climate to change rapidly. In the novel, a seventeen year old girl named Miranda Evans lives with her mother and two brothers, and has to fight to stay alive in a world collapsing around them. When her father, step mother, half brother, and three other people come to their house to live with them, everything changes, and she begins to wonder how much longer they can survive.

A part of how queer identities are shown in the military’s environment and this novel, is the differences between Major Langdon and his wife’s Filipino servant, Anacleto. Anacleto is a thin, feminine man, who is interested in art, fashion, and performance, and all of these facts seem to enrage the Major. Major Langdon himself is a gambling, whiskey drinking man who believes that Anacleto should be forced to join the army, since he thinks it would make the younger man become more of the kind of man the Major thinks all men should be. He tells the Captain that while he knows that Anacleto would not enjoy being in the army, it would have “knocked all the nonsense out of him… run him ragged and he would be miserable” (McCullers, p. 114). This sparks

"If we could sniff or swallow something that would, for five or six hours each day, abolish our solitude as individuals, atone us with our fellows in a glowing exaltation of affection and make life in all its aspects seem not only worth living, but divinely beautiful and significant, and if this heavenly, world-transfiguring drug were of such a kind that we could wake up next morning with a clear head and an undamaged constitution - then, it seems to me, all our problems (and not merely the one small problem of discovering a novel pleasure) would be wholly solved and earth would become paradise."

When reading chapter nine and ten you come across the most opinionated characters, Alsana, the reader must take her opinions carefully, weighing them against the characters' actions to examine their truth. According to Alsana, the English are firmly rooted to the point of inaction. Archie's storm-proof house symbolizes his culture's reluctance to take risks or "hold [his life] lightly," the way Bengalis do. However, Samad and Alsana make it seem as though Bengalis continue this tradition of "holding life lightly" even in England: they do not storm-proof their house, and therefore must find refuge with Archie and Clara. Via hefty extrapolation, one can compare this situation to British colonialism. While the Bengalis begrudge

“He loves the theatre apparently. A great enthusiast when he gets going. He has his down periods like a lot of people, but he’s your support, your natural energiser.” Justin to Lewis about Roy P3

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that”- Martin Luther King Jr. 1957. That quote reminds me of a character from a book I had just read in class. Mai Thi from the novel, “The Wednesday Wars” Is that character. Mai Thi in the beginning was a burden, because of her curious questions and bad english making people not hate her but sort of disliking her in a way.
