     Jonathan Swift is one of the best known satirists in the history of literature. When one reads his works, especially something like Gulliver’s Travels, it is easy for one to spot the misanthropic themes, which emerge within his characterization. Lamuel Gulliver is an excellent protagonist: a keen observer, and a good representative of his native England, but one who loses faith in mankind as his story progresses. He ends up in remote areas of the world all by accidents in his voyages. In each trip, he is shipwrecked and mysteriously arrives to lands never before seen by men. This forms an interesting rhythm in the novel: as Gulliver is given more and more responsibility, he tends to be less

Passions drive people, and the townspeople in “The Lottery” and Paul in “The Rocking-Horse Winner” are no different. Each of the members of the unnamed town has a strong passion for tradition. The original black box used for the lottery is described as being, “lost long ago, and the black box now resting on the stool had been put into use even before Old Man Warner, the oldest man in town, was born” (Jackson 251). This sentence gives the reader an understanding that the lottery is an ancient tradition that has become an integral part of the town’s lifestyle. Such a tradition can only be carried on for this length of time if the people are passionate about preserving the tradition. Paul had a passion to be wealthy as a way to prove to his mother that he was lucky. From a young age, he saw that his family always wanted more money to support a better lifestyle, yet

The first of the two stories I chose to compare and contrast is titled “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson and the second story is titled “The Rocking-Horse Winner” by D.H. Lawrence. I will compare each of their themes, characters, and plot developments in which they are both similar and different. One of the strongest comparison would be that both stories deal with the subject of luck in one sense or another. The Lottery being considered a game of chance in which luck plays an important factor in being the chosen winner but Luck in the Lottery has a different twist of fate because the winner of the Lottery is actually the

Feelings are an abstract concept that takes children time and experience to understand and deal with in a socially acceptable manner. These activities have served to give the children in my class the foundation and the words needed to express their feelings. I can also use this strategy to remind children that emotions are okay, that words have power, and they now have the words.

Is family important to you? Are they with you through your life? Do they make you laugh and happy? Well the place in the book is a mess. The government is corrupted and the people were not fair. The rich were separated to a different part of the city away from the poor. Families were lost and abused like Day’s. In the Legend series, Marie Lu illustrates the theme that family is important to happiness through Day’s actions, Day’s symbolism and Day’s dialogue.

Of all people, Marie Brose Tepe deserves the Eagle Award because of her bravery and patriotism. Marie was a vivandiere, joined the 27th and the 114th Pennsylvania infantry , and fought in The Battles of Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg, for the Union troops, during the Civil War. When fighting on the battlefield against the Confederacy, she healed many wounded soldiers which were nearly within range of enemy fire. Nothing would stop her from helping others, not even a bullet stuck in her ankle.

Why are comics not appreciated as much as the dry narratives of novels in the literary world? A comic is composed of symbols to express concepts shared by all people in their own social environment, and provide more tools than conventional art to truly show artistic intention.

What features or characteristics of the human condition can you identify in Judith Wright’s Legend? How has the poet used specific language techniques to emphasise these attributes of life.

In “The Story of an Hour” (1894), Kate Chopin presents a woman in the last hour of her life and the emotional and psychological changes that occur upon hearing of her husbands’ death. Chopin sends the protagonist, Mrs. Mallard, on a roller coaster of emotional up’s and down’s, and self-actualizing psychological hairpin turns, which is all set in motion by the news of her husband’s death. This extreme “joy ride” comes to an abrupt and ultimately final halt for Mrs. Mallard when she sees her husband walk through the door unscathed. Chopin ends her short story ambiguously with the death of Mrs. Mallard, imploring her reader to determine the true cause of her death.

The book that I have chosen to write about is Tristan, by Gottfried Von Strassburg. Not much is known about Gottfried Von Strassburg, other than that he was educated and enjoyed writing. He only wrote a few books in his time and Tristan was one that became well known. It became known as one of the most influential romances and tragedies of the 12th century. Strassburg wrote the book based off of what he read from Thomas' volumes titled Tristan. Strassburg's book, Tristan, is about the legend titled Tristan and Isuelt, and this legend is similar to Romeo and Juliet, and while it was written by quite a few people, Thomas' version and Strassburg's version became really popular in the 12th century. The story takes place in the 5th century and represents the rivalry between England and Ireland. There are four main versions of this legend. Two of the versions are told through books, one was told as an opera, and one was told in a movie. And while they may have

The graphic novel that I chose to read was "Laika" by Nick Abadzis. The author uses a blend of fact and fiction to tell the true story of the first dog that was sent up to space by the USSR in 1957. It mainly focuses on Korolev, who is the head engineer in Russia's space program, Yelena, the lab technician who is responsible for Laika's health and Laika, the dog. Laika is born into a family that cannot afford to take care of her and her siblings, so they are forced to find them another home. Laika's new owner neglects her and eventually throws her in the river, but she survives and lives with the strays in the streets. Eventually, she is captured by the dogcatcher and sent to the pound. While in the pound, the Russian space program selects Laika to become a test

Jack London, an American author known for his thrilling adventure stories, showed the world that even an exciting story that takes place in exotic settings can include all the intricacies of great literature. This is seen in many of his stories with the implementation of symbolism, many times a recurring theme in his work. Also, London used many ideas of the day such as Darwinism and Spencerism in his writings in order to better portray his views. However, perhaps one of the most telling signs that London wrote good literature was through London's mastery of a rising literary movement known as naturalism.
