“Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family.” - Kofi Annan.

The quote by Alfred Lord Tennyson “‘tis better to have loved and lost than to have never have loved at all.” is very powerful and very true. From the story How Much Land Does a Man Need? by Leo Tolstoy provides evidence of the truth of this quote and is also presented in the story The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. These two stories highlight the life lessons of loving something and losing it compared to not having had it at all. This quote can also be put into real life because everyone needs to make a few mistakes in order to learn and losing something allows for life lessons as well. Tennyson’s quote can be applied to a lot of things in life, like literature and even reality.

Lou Ann, a woman in the process of divorcing from her husband, invites Estevan and Esperanza to her house. They begin to talk and Lou Ann defends Estevan from the harsh comments of Edna, an older woman at Lou Ann’s house, revealing a large factor in why Estevan and Esperanza left Guatemala. “This man you are looking at is an English teacher. He did not come here so he could wash egg foo yung off plates and take orders from a five-year-old”. (Kingsolver, ch. 7) Lou Ann recalls that Estevan “did not come here so he could wash egg foo yung off plates” revealing Estevan's hopes to find a strong job in America. This corresponds with the story of a Syrian family that has been resettled in New Jersey. The father of the family explains how his children have been given a chance to build their futures in America. “ Of course when I see my kids going to...build their futures, I am going to be the happiest.”(PBS) This is one example of a common situation. A family of immigrants fleeing their homes to find a future for their kids and for themselves. The bigger picture of this idea is reflected by America’s opinion on immigrants. If America doesn't allow immigrants to enter and find jobs, than immigrants are closed off in their homes with violence often surrounding

When people are in love it blinds them from consequences that can change their lives for example when daisy hits Myrtle and Gatsby says “Was daisy driving.’

Authors across time have used various relationship models in their works of writing in order to communicate their beliefs about love. By examining the relationship between two unlike brothers in his short story, “Sonny’s Blues,” James Baldwin communicates his belief that the idea of love can save people. Jhumpa Lahiri, in her short story “Hell-Heaven” also shows that the idea of love can save people, but by the end the characters are only truly happy where there is acceptance. Both Baldwin’s short story “Sonny’s Blues” and Lahiri short story “Hell- Heaven” while culturally different, use the trials and tribulations of their characters to prove that the idea of love is a saving force.

Luis Navar, a Mexican immigrant, is an example of a hard-working individual who is determined to live the American dream. After arriving to Denison, he worked at Farmland where he excelled: “He’d never before worked in a packing plant, but he learned the job in two weeks…The highest level-worker was a Grade 5; he was a Grade 4.” This is an appeal to ethos because Luis is portrayed as an individual with good sense, good moral character, and good will. These are universal traits of a good person, supporting the assumption that many of the Latino immigrants in Denison are like this. This supports Maharidge’s claim that the future of this Iowan town relies on individuals like Luis. The non-Latinos in the area did not necessarily resent the Latinos, but they also didn’t favor them. The people of Denison “were not campaigning to harm the Latinos by denying them public services or calling in immigration authorities, nor were they moving away in a version of prairie white flight.” However, Maharidge incorporates the mythos of the contemporary racial climate by introducing the problem of how non-minorities would form a “general hatred of all things foreign” when there is another terror

Following the 2016 presidential election, the undocumented immigrant communities were anxious about their future in America. A multitude felt distressed, afraid that they would be separated from and would no longer be able to support their family. The level of insecurity within these communities across the country reached its apex. Simply, this phenomenon occurred because people had listened to months of anti-immigrant rhetoric that then-candidate Donald Trump had been spewing. Mass deportation and separation from family and friends were on the minds of many.

You can love someone, and they can love you, but in a second they can be gone forever. In the book thief, liesel lost many people that she loved, like her brother, and mother. But that was changed because she had a new family. She found people that filled in the hole that was there for her. To be there for her again. In the book thief, characters shown that when you lose someone you love, you seek new relationships to fill the void.

An utopian, or perfect, society is where people is over satisfied and has no complaints, obstacles about their way of life in that community. In the novel Fahrenheit 451, the government believe they have made quite such a place but in reality, the society this novel is portraying is a dystopia, where everything is bad, unpleasant, the opposite of an utopia. This depicts dystopian society because of common suicide, relationships, technology, emotions and their environment they are living in.

Carol Andrew Pilbasian-Miller is a main character on the show and is an eccentric woman from Delaware, who sees Phil's "Alive in Tucson" signs and travels there. Carol is shown to be a compassionate person and a very friendly person. However, she can hold grudges against people. Carol also has a passion for drawing and making artistic things.

In many stories, love is presented as the ultimate solution for everything. It brings happiness from despair and hope from destruction. But in reality, love tricks one’s mind to make reckless decisions. According to William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, making decisions based on one’s emotions can lead to pure destruction. This is evident through the words and actions of Romeo, Juliet, and Friar Lawrence.

The time periods that each text is set in varies and it is therefore interesting to note that this does not change the fundamentals, we are prepared to make sacrifices for love. All the characters were forced by restrictions of the time to make difficult decisions and in these cases they were willing to give their lives, either physically or emotionally, for their love. It shows the extremity of love, that it is worth more to these literary

“The waking thought of her, sunlit and new, then the all-day hopeful lightheadedness, and behind it all, dull as a blown-out light bulb, the fact of the word never.” (ll. 5-7 p. 1). The quote is from the nameless main character in Ali Smith’s short story “Erosive” from 2003. As the quote implies Ali Smith tells the story of unrequited love. Through post modernistic techniques he portrays the main characters coping with hopeless love. A distinctive feature of post-modernistic literature is that they are often open to interpretation. The story can therefore be analyzed in multiple ways, and the observations I have made are not “set in stone”.
