In 1983 Aharon Appelfeld published a work of fiction titled Tzili that closely resembled his own personal Holocaust experiences. This work of fiction revolves around a maturing teen who is alone and on the run during the Holocaust. In Tzili, Appelfeld brings to life his characters, which include Tzili, Katrina, Mark, and Linda. Throughout this literary analysis Appelfelds’ memoir Story of a Life will be used to access the parallels that exist between Appelfeld’s own personal experience and his fictional work Tzili.

In The Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao the narrator, Yunior, has a couple of symbolic dreams after the death of Oscar. One of his dreams involves a masked man holding a book with blank pages.

The four life stories I have chosen to reflect on are Santos, Raven, Chip, and Manuel. Santos endured many hardships as a young boy, as he was raised in a farm in Mexico without an education. He then came to the United States where he had many jobs, such a washing dishes and cutting wood boards, but never a high pay job. Throughout his life, he lost a brother and his father. He then came back to the farm to build a house out of adobe. Raven, from Dallas, loves music and this was the main reason she came to Austin. She had around eight jobs in Austin over a three-year period and she started to dislike Austin. She always had two jobs to support herself, but she was not liking it as she had to deal with many customers and faced sexual harassment.

I woke up in the middle of the night to the flash of lightning which was quickly followed by the loud boom of thunder. My entire body was shivering from the freezing cold rain water that had completely drenched my attempt at a shelter. Since I have never had to build a shelter before, it was not sturdy at all. When the rain had pounded down upon it, the top of the shelter had caved in and then eventually collapsed leaving me with no shelter at all.

It attempts to establish the tone and the rules of the sitcom and what is special of different about this show that will keep viewers tuned in week after week to watch this family over others. Roseanne is a family sitcom whose humor comes from the family 's interactions and the mothers sarcasm and while the characters argue they will always forgive each other. One of the most important things about the pilot of Roseanne is the show 's theme, or big idea, that is different from most shows at its time, with it 's title character, not only being a woman, but also a working mother who has to balance the housework and her job while not being all smiles about it all the time. A show in which the mother actually complains about the housework and focuses on the struggles she faces is what makes Roseanne such a unique show.

I looked out the window above the kitchen sink, watching the birds fly around the yard. They swooped high and low into the cool water in the bird bath.

The infinitely expanding universe flashed by in an instant. Stars and galaxies, infinite chaos and yet, infinite peace at the same time; copious stars, a myriad of paintings, smaller than a pinpoint, but yet so overwhelming. I could tell what he thought of it. He could only describe it as beautiful. Before they die, I give them one last gift: a view of everything the person did not perceive, an image of pure tranquility. But the peace did not last long, as the pain seeped into his nervous system, like acid being poured down his spine, a sharp knife into his chest and stomach. He drifted closer to me, a balloon in the wind with no control over its path. I sent him the thoughts of his life; the images that his death followed were envisioned.

In 2007 my family left Western Springs Illinois. My dad got a new job in Atlanta, Georgia. I was too little to know it then but Atlanta is a totally different place than Western Springs, filled with a much greater array of cultures, ethnicities, and especially foods. Of course, we return to Western Springs every few months to visit family and friends but when I was younger I always wanted to move back. The idea of being surrounded by friends and family whenever I wanted was very appealing to my little kid mind but moving widened my horizons more than I could have known then. Now I realize that moving to Atlanta fueled my confidence and readiness to experience new things and try unfamiliar foods.
