The coming of age phase in a young person’s life is a transitional phase which prompts the idea of individualism, decision making, acceptance, moral challenges, disappointment, and individual needs. These years are essential for the overall learning and growing-up part of someone’s life. Coming of age characteristics transpired in the novel The Catcher in the Rye and The Absolutely True Diary of a part-time Indian pertain to, but do not exclude, the acceptance of the complexities and “grayness” of the world, confrontation with the adult world, and the individual needs and desires vs. external pressures/expectations/norms. In both novels, young boys are faced with tough choices that will later help them in the overall transition from

There is hardly anyone that hasn’t had to grow up. Growth is central to every character in a story, but “Through the Tunnel” and To Kill a Mockingbird amplify this; the loss of innocence and coming of age is central to the entire story. Both “Through the Tunnel” and To Kill a Mockingbird’s main conflict test the characters (Jem in To Kill a Mockingbird and Jerry in “Through the Tunnel”) as they grow up in the face of adversity.

In Watership Down, two brother rabbits Hazel and Fiver, along with several other companions, make a journey to a new warren after being pushed from their home by humans. Throughout this journey they experience many hardships as well as new experiences that change the group as the story goes along. One aspect that stays constant is the culture in which the rabbits live. Three important ideologies that help develop this culture are leadership, language, and mythology; these three in particular are all pivotal in developing what the rabbits are really about in the first half of this novel.

What is the meaning of life? This has been a topic that has been greatly debated and discussed for as long as anyone can remember. Many people believe that happiness is the key to life and living a good life. Although achieving happiness can be difficult and it is another topic that no one really has a clear definition of and no one knows how to truly acquire it and can actually differ from person to person. John Steinbeck actually asks a question about happiness and in the story Cannery Row by John Steinbeck there are many different characters who… seem to have quirky personalities. While these characters do seem to live a tough life and don’t seem to have very much as far as money they are actually happy and content with their lives.

I agree with the author, Robert Kuttner on the claim that damaging a statute will not fix anything.

Like all great works of literature, critics interpret stories in multiple ways. “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” by Washington Irving is no exception. His story of Ichabod Crane and the Headless Horseman is an exciting read, but when further analyzed, one finds that many interpretations exist. Ranging from feminist perspectives to economic perspectives, this story appears to have a much deeper meaning than many readers initially give the story. To truly understand the many interpretations of “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” one must understand the historical and cultural context of the story.

An example would be while she’s explaining the smell of the yellow wallpaper, “It used to disturb me at first. I thought seriously of burning the house--to reach the smell” (Gilman). Not a single mentally stable person would ever take the notion to want to burn down a beautiful colonial mansion, such as the narrator did because of the smell. Later she finally got used to the smell and the only thing that seemed to have bother her was the awful yellow wallpaper. Not only did the yellow wallpaper bother the narrator, it seemed to bother Jennie, but for a different reason. Jennie was looking at the yellow wallpaper one day and didn’t notice that the narrator was in the room. Jennie had her hand on the paper examining it while she sat behind her silently and watched. She then spoke and startled Jennie and ask her “what she was doing with the paper--she turned around as if she had been caught stealing, and looked quite angry-- asked me why I should frighten her so” (Gilman)! Jennie “Then she said that the paper stained everything it touched, that she had found yellow smooches on all my clothes and John's, and she wished we would be more careful” (Gilman)! The narrator then makes the assumption that Jennie was actually trying to figure out the pattern on the wall. She goes on to say that she will be the only one to ever figure out and understand the pattern that is on the walls. The mentions of the yellow smooches on all of the narrator’s clothes are obvious from her creeping on the floor. “But here I can creep smoothly on the floor, and my shoulder just fits in that long smooch around the wall, so I cannot lose my way” (Gilman). This also ties in to the groove around the mopboard. “There is a very funny mark on this wall, low down, near the mopboard. A streak that runs round the room. It goes behind every piece of furniture, except the bed, a long, straight, even smooch, as

Watership Down is a classic adventure novel written in 1970 by English writer Richard Adams. The novel focuses on a small wandering group of rabbits whose’ names are: Hazel, Fiver, Bigwig, Holly, Blackberry, Pipkin, etc. Although, they live in their own world, they possess a culture much like humans do. These rabbits have their own poetry, music, mythology, and language called Lapine.

Richard Adams’ novel, Watership Down conveys its dictatorship and immigration issues that occurred in the past and are still in today's world. Richard Adams was born post World War II. This was a period when communist and totalitarian ideas where ending and the world was moving into more stable and freedom world. In today's world, dictatorship is not something the public takes easily. It happens mostly in countries that are not developed well or can't do anything to stop it. Another event that took place is the holocaust. The holocaust has caused many people to give up and leave Germany because it has caused them so much pain. Leaving the people and the home you grew up is surely one of the hardest things a person can experience. Immigration is such a huge thing today. People escape from the violence and terror that occur in their countries to look for safety and security for their families.

Annie Dillard’s effective use of language and style reflect and further the opinions she voices within “Pilgrim at Tinker Creek”. She knows how to reel the audience in and then strengthens her points with such detailed descriptions of every little thing. A common theme throughout this classic is about seeing and gaining the ability to be able to see things for their beauty and what they really are. Dillard also wants her audience to see the things that are usually not noticeable or sometimes even taken for granted. Things such as objects, events and creatures, Dillard does a great job at making the words on the pages jump out and come to life. She first points out the tomcat. She vividly describes how this big bloody-pawed tomcat would lay
