“In the state of nature, Profit is the measure of Right”(Hobbes). This quote is talking about the nature people, and how they measure if something is “right” based on how profitable it is for them. As Thomas Hobbes did, I believe that people are generally selfish and will only try to benefit themselves as shown in the article “The Dying Girl No One Helped” where a girl was stabbed and no one helped her even though people saw her dying.

At the age of ten, most children are reliant on their parents for everything in their lives needing a great deal of concentration and concern. However, Ellen, the main character and combatant of the novel Ellen Foster, demonstrates a significant amount of self-reliance and mature, impartial thought as a ten-year-old girl. Ellen is a bantling even though she was not deserted, she was impoverished of a normal childhood. Her life as a child was immensely hard, physically and emotionally. She never had a mother or father take care of her through her entire youth. The recent mortality of her mother sends her on a journey for the optimal family, or anywhere her father, who had shown insensitivity to both she and her frail mother, was not. Kaye Gibbons’

Just finished “As I lay Dying”. I had a love hate relationship with this novel. As the Bundern’s family traveled farther in their journey, the events became difficult for me to read. The family could not catch a break and Faulkner never really made it clear they deserved to.

After reading the introduction to this novel, some might think “this is odd”. I know, you must be thinking that this introduction to a story might be a bit peculiar, but hang on. Chris Nobleman is my best friend. His Father Gareth Nobleman died from a brain tumor on April 8th 1978 when Chris was just 13, he was the only guy around his house.. He was told that he might have a little sister, but she died at birth.. Because his mother, Teresa Nobleman could not find a job,

Then, we have Robin Stokes, who is a young, beautiful woman but is simultaneously insecure and anxious and looks for her self-confidence through men who abuse her financially, sexually, and emotionally. Her relationship with her family creates another burden her, as her father has Alzheimer’s and her mother is the only one who wants to take care of him. Eventually, they have no choice but to admit him to a nursing home, but it is a decision that is hard for the both of them. Her relationship with men is also a tumultuous one, in which she has an affair with a man named Russell, and even though she finds out he is married to another man, her good sense is pushed away by her attraction for him.

I would recommend this book to a friend because it is a touching love story that we can all relate to in some way. The book is about Miles Ryan who lost his wife in a car accident when they were both only in their thirties and had a young child together. Though not all of us have lost our wife in a car accident, we all have someone in our life that we love and care about deeply. This book really shows that we could lose a loved one at any time and even though at first it might be really hard to get over losing them, things do get easier. This novel is relatable and makes you wonder about what is going to happen next. This is not only a love story, but it also has a little mystery to it. Miles Ryan spends almost the whole book trying to figure

Earlwood is an unspoiled, hidden gem of Sydney that embraces the Greek culture, but is also a multicultural community. This suburb offers large blocks of land for residential or commercial development, unlike most of the surrounding suburbs, which makes it a rare commodity indeed. Inside the confines of Earlwood, you will find a small shopping precinct, plentiful parks and playgrounds, rare bushlands, and a beautiful cohesion of food, community, culture, trendy cafes, pizza bars, and natural beauty wrapped up in a setting that brings the old and the new together. Earlwood is often mistaken for being part of the Inner West, but the Cooks River, the natural boundary around its outer limits, makes that classification incorrect.

Although it is an emotion-provoking book, it is flawed. Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, seems longer than it needs to be, but if you are a person who likes brutally honest description,then you will love it. For me the introduction into characters and highschool dragged on longer than it needed to, but it did end up knowing Greg better. The author says a few times that the book is poorly written, and doesn’t follow the standard rules of writing

From their Grammy award-winning album Fly, “Goodbye Earl” was a track that led to much controversy. The overall theme of the song concerned domestic violence. By using Kenneth Burke’s Pentad, otherwise known as dramatism, one will be able to find the concept of motive from the characters involved and their actions.

A trope states different categories of figures of speech e.g. similes and puns. They used to describe and analyze a convention that can easily be understood and recognized as its common applied. Popular cultures are the images, perspectives and ideas that are within a given culture and is directing a certain mass. Final girl, a horror movie is among those movies that have many tropes in them. This movie is about a certain woman who becomes the last in line to ever confront the killer. She becomes the only person to ever narrate the story. This all happens after all her friends were killed by the killer holding her. The killer won’t let her go as he is holding a knife to finish what he had started. Hence, the essay below analyses tropes in pop cultures in the movie, the final girl.

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green and Me and Earl and The Dying Girl by Jesse Andrews are novels that have a similar concept. In The Fault in Our Stars, Augustus and Hazel meet and become friends. After spending a lot of time together, the two fall in love with each other even though they are both dying from terminal illnesses. In Me and Earl and The Dying Girl, Gregg is forced by his mother to become friends with Rachel, who has been diagnosed with leukemia and is almost dying. The two novels study the friendship that develops between the teens after some of the characters have been diagnosed with terminal illnesses. The books bring out the challenges that people encounter before they can become real friends. The challenges show how the members of the society try to fight friendship, and it still becomes the source of their desired comforts. From The fault in our stars we can see that Hazel is trying to evade Augustus but Augustus persists, “You realize that trying to keep your distance from me will not lesson my affections for you.” The Fault in our stars clearly depicts friendship and love while Me and Earl and The dying girl clearly brings out friendship.
