“Death by Landscape” The relationship between the main characters, Lucy and Lois is what builds up the story of “Death by Landscape.” The two girls are near-to-complete opposites and when one vanishes at the climax of the story, Margaret Atwood shows how the other copes with the mysterious disappearance and why it had to be Lucy to disappear. Lois had been to Camp Manitou before Lucy, so she felt as though she needed to help Lucy in everyway.

In the book called Miracle at Camp Friendship, by Sarah Hopewell, the theme of the book was about friendship and children getting along with others. The author described this friendship through Pudge, Racer, Booker, Miriam, Susie and Ronny during a weekend retreat, where the real challenge was said to be a test of the heart. An interesting statement the author made, referenced how God could do unexpected things in our lives, which could bring out special miracles. The next couple of paragraphs will show how God did unexpected things and that through these events produced miracles that bonded them together as life long friends. The unexpected thing that occurred with Pudge was when Ronny chose him to be his buddy at camp.

A time of decency and aspiration soon appeared as a time of brutality and outrage. The 1960s were a period of social revolution and turmoil. Through changes in politics, equality and war, many Americans acted as a catalyst for change. John F. Kennedy took office as the first Catholic President of the United States who radiated a symbol of hope. While Martin Luther King Jr. preached notions of change during the U.S. Civil Rights Movement. The racial divide of blacks and whites were heightened in society. Protests appeared to demand equal rights for women and to end the war in Vietnam. In Rosemary L. Bray’s memoir, Unafraid of the Dark, Bray openly reflected on the life she had growing up in a low class family in Chicago. Bray describes the hardships

Most children are not very fond of reading books in school. I was one of those children until I read a novel called, “The Other Side of Dark” written by Joan Lowery Nixon in the 4th grade. My school had held a book fair during the week of open house. As a child, all children want the toys and games they had at the book fair, not bothering to even glance at the books. My mother told me to look for a book that was not only easy for me to read but something that I would enjoy. I walked around our petite library, which was where the book fair was being held, and scanned the various novels that were displayed until one caught my eye. I was only 10 years old looking for a book without the knowledge of what types of literature that interested me. As I turned the corner at the end of the library I caught a glimpse of a hardcover novel called “The Other Side of Dark”. On the back of novel I read the synopsis which was about a 13 year-old girl who was shot and put into coma until she was 17 years old waking up to discovering that her family was also murdered by the same person who shot her 4 years ago. I was quickly captivated by this summary on the back of the novel and persuaded to read further. Open house was coming to an end and my family and I headed back to our house in La Mirada, California. One of our homework assignments was to read at least 20 minutes a night to improve our reading skills. We quickly arrived at our home and I

The book I have read is Through the Woods by Emily Carroll. This is an Eliot Rosewater book for 2016-2017 so I decided to give it a try and I think you should too. It is a pretty scary read so If you are the least bit frightened by anything you might not want to read this… especially at night. I enjoy watching scary movies and reading scary books so I found it very hard to put this book down.

Howard Thurman removes the window dressing in the African American experience of segregation in America. Thurman in his book, “The Luminous Darkness” paints an obscure portrait that delved deep into the consciousness of Black men, women and children freshly freed from chattel slavery. Two hundred years of slavery and one hundred years of darkness seeping into each soul perpetuated by an evil explained only through the Word of God. Although this book was published in the 60’s, the stigma segregation continues resonate in the souls of those who remember and perhaps even in the souls of those who do not.

History has presented hunting as a job and pastime for men for thousands of years. Ancient civilization’s livelihoods rested on the hunting and gathering that men performed for a tribe while the women stayed back to care for the young and cook. It truly is a tale as old as time; however, over time, a very long time, women have found their way into this historically male dominated arena. Women have begun partaking in the “sport” of pursuing animals more frequently than ever before. Despite this, though, females can still find themselves receiving criticism and wayward glances for stepping outside the traditional views of gender roles. In H. William Rice’s collection of short stories, The Lost Woods, the tale “Gobble, Gobble” offers a firsthand account from a young lady who seems to have decided to turn her back on society’s view of femininity to take on her own idea of what her role should be in her family.

When they arrived Mama and Kirst went inside, Annemarie and Ellen went for a walk. They walked down a path where they saw a cat that was eyeing them out. When they reached the ocean Ellen told Annemarie how she and never been to the proper ocean, only the harbour because her mum was afraid of the big sea and that it was to cold. The girls sat on a rock and took their shoes of. When they felt the water they got straight back out again. They then started to talk a they saw Mama waving for them to come back. When they got back Ellen as holding the kitten that was well asleep in her hands. Mama asked if they saw anyone and asked of the girls to make sure that they stayed out of sight from anyone else. They started to make dinner for when Uncle Henrick returned. The girls were getting ready to go to sleep when Ellen asked about her necklace when Annemarie responded by saying that it was in a safe hiding spot. While they were trying to fall asleep they heard the adults talking about why Henrick didn’t have a wife. Annemarie remembered the old times and how things had

Death by landscape by Margaret Atwood was an interesting story about an all girls camp located within the wilds of Canada. It is a story about two girls, Lois and Lucy. Lois feels rather plain and unremarkable, and meets Lucy at summer camp. Lucy fascinates Lois, I she is pale, blond, and part American. Although both girls come from roughly the same socioeconomic class, Lucy's life seems a bit grander than anything lowest that ever seen before. Despite these differences, the girls crew close, returning in the summers from the ages of 9-13. Their friendship ended dramatically one fateful day. On a week long excursion, after hiking up a mountain trail, Lucy strolls way to use the bathroom, and she is never seen again. Her body is never found, although many suspect that she jumped off a cliff into a lake below.

When children think of darkness they think of lack of light which causes them to become scared. As we grow older, we begin to not only realize the lack of light, but the objects inside the dark which can be more frightening. We start understanding how darkness makes us feel. Darkness makes one think of unusual scenarios that are not real, but seems so real at that moment. Once we start believing in those scenarios, they start to overcome us and we no longer stay ourselves. There are multiple definitions of darkness and they all go with these two authentic stories, Heart of Darkness and The Dead. In the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, darkness is defined as: partial or total absence of light, wickedness or evil, unhappiness, secrecy and lack of spiritual or intellectual enlighten. Comparing, Heart of Darkness written by Joseph Conrad and The Dead written by James Joyce, each author brings out darkness and the living dead into the main character and shows how much it changes them for the worse and/or for the better.
