During both Tales we also incorporate two statements from the Art of Courtly Love. The Art of Courtly Love, it states “Love is always increasing or decreasing” and “Real jealousy increases the act of love.” This is also used in our modern age of relationships.

Throughout the book Dharma Bums, by Jack Kerouac, the characters resist the urge to normalize their peculiar behavior. This particular idea of nonconformity is present throughout the entirety of the book. The ultimate source of uniformity, to which Japhy Ryder and Ray Smith are definitely opposed to, is the middle class. The majority of the American population, who are trapped in the "rat race" of money-making and social climbing, rely on these social norms to create class distinction. Kerouac delivers the overall theme that obedience of societal norms is aberrant.

When we think of the word literature, we think of Shakespeare’s story or Harper Lee’s story and take the text too seriously. For example, listing down some examples of literature, more or less the lists we’ve made do not mention any graphic novels. However, the graphic novel entitled Maus by Art Spiegelman is a story about a young man asking his dad to relive his days as a Holocaust survivor, which backs the idea that graphic novels can be treated as a piece of literature. The Maus series can be a great example because the plot, sub-plot, themes and characters are greatly weaved together. These types of novels should be considered a form literature because it expresses the story better and that it’s still profound.

By doing so, he elucidates that there is another way to perceive life and not to mundane idea that the destiny of a man is determined by the politics around him. Based on the depth of the analysis he makes, the author’s intended audience would include scholars, and people who are familiar with Indian culture and the distinct association of poverty with social classes.

He presents a critical view on how fate and time play crucial roles in this ever-changing life Rukmani and her husband, Nathan experience.

Usually when two people’s point of views are depicted in a story, the books are separated to help the reader understand which character is thinking or saying what. In these two books, the points of view from different people is a reoccurring theme among the pages. In A Thousand Splendid Suns, points of view from two afghan women are portrayed. At first, the story of one woman is told, then the book is separated into a different part telling the story of the other woman. When the stories become associated with one another, the book is separated once again into a different part, telling their stories together, but with chapters separating their points of view on the shared story.

This poet chose to show various types of emotion with the themes of this poem. This poem has a purpose of demonstrating of how easy it is to become vulnerable of these moments of despair in one’s lifetime, especially when it comes to love. Life is based around love, people develop great unexplained heart filled feelings, it can even take place in the midst of just a few moments, to ignite that “love at first sight” feeling. When one gives another their heart, he/she must thoroughly trust that their chosen one truly does love them, because from the moment that one experiences love with another person they never truly know if they do. This feeling is very critical for a couple in a relationship. So, when things take a rough path, and one becomes unhappy it may take the other by surprise and catch them at a vulnerable state of mind and heart. This would cause for it to take a

This essay focuses on the theme of forbidden love, The God of Small Things written by Arundhati Roy. This novel explores love and how love can’t be ignored when confronted with social boundaries.

Folklore superstitions and even the supernatural are some of the favourite themes of Khushwant Singh. He himself has said that his “roots are in the dunghill of a tiny Indian village”. Khushwant Singh achieves dual purpose by the use of these elements. First, the elements make the stories interesting and secondly, they fulfil the satirical purpose of the author. In additions, the elements make stories both romantic and realistic. The folklore and the supernatural belong to the fairy land. They are the elements of fantasy. But they are followed by the people in villages even at the cost of death. This is reality in Indian
