The main idea in West Moore's novel, “The Other Wes Moore” is about the different paths that people take, despite going through similar events. Author Wes Moore founded a homogeneous circumstance between himself and the Other Wes Moore, who was in prison for convicted criminals.

To 13-year-old Charlie Bucktin, the small town of Corrigan is filled with intolerance, prejudice and insularity. It is 1965, and the bigotry of rural Western Australia is a setting for a story that aligns itself with an American literary tradition. Charlie is lured by the promise of adventure when the town troublemaker, Jasper Jones, comes to his window one night and asks for help. Jasper Jones, by Craig Silvey, is a well written, engrossing, coming of age story that informs young readers that they are not alone in the jungle of adolescence. Moral duality becomes a mode of operation once foreign to Charlie Bucktin, as he awakens to a new understanding as to why these antithetical views co-exist. It explores the dangers of making assumptions

Through Wes Moore’s The Other Wes Moore, the author tells the story of himself and another man with the same name and a strikingly similar upbringing. In chapter 6 it is revealed that the parental and authority figures in both their lives greatly affected and shaped who they became. By comparing and contrasting the tough choices they made, complications they face at home and at school, and their new authoritative positions, the author uses the two Wes Moore’s lives in Chapter 6 to appeal to pathos, allowing the reader to feel a connection with each character and develop an understanding of both Moore’s accomplishments and hardships.

“There’s a thin, blurry line between humor and tragedy,” Christopher Paul Curtis. In many cases people don’t even see across the line that Curtis has pointed out. Many people only see the humor or the tragedy, or the good and bad of the world. In the book The Watsons go to Birmingham-1963 by Christopher Paul Curtis, Kenny Watson only sees the good in the world until he meets Rufus and goes to Birmingham, Alabama. Kenny doesn’t recognize any of the real horrors in the world because his society has filtered everything in his life.

“A fart on Thomas Putnam, that is what I say to that!” Giles Corey said this in The Crucible because Thomas Putnam is crying witchcraft on innocent people in Salem. Giles Corey is a very ornery man which this quote can show. Not only is Giles Corey ornery, he has other unique traits to him that may be surprising, which also relates to me as well. Giles Corey and I both are similar to each other because of our responsible, sarcastic, and loyal traits.

For a story by an author to be signified as a classic literature piece, it requires a timeless feature which the main passage can echo throughout the ages. Particularly, a relation to society's behavior and values. The characters, created by Washington Irving, most especially Tom Walker, gives us an insight on how his life centered predominantly on wealth up to the point where he is consumed by temptation. Tom Walker’s engagement in a deal with the Devil portrays how money-driven society has become more prominent through the times of the 1700s and today's world.

There is no need to always be in an agreement with the main character. Our opinions are developed from our own experiences and how we were raised. As for the opinion whether John Grady matures, he does grow up to have control over his emotions. This is seen after killing someone and being in a near death situation. After being set free, he goes back to where he was arrested to get the horses back. He was seeking to bring them back to the original owners. This action is perceived to be taking action into his hands. He is not abiding by the laws of the town the horses were in. Is John Grady classified as a hero or a vigilante? Is he a hero in the terms set by society and culture of this novel? What is a hero? What is a vigilante? What is a hero in the book? A hero is someone who brings justice according to the law of the land while a vigilante is someone who follows their own philosophy of justice and administers their philosophy of justice. John Grady is no hero in terms of the definition

Handcuffs aren’t just part of their job in this sizzling new standalone romance by USA Today bestselling author, Stacey Kennedy.

Jasper Jones was my favourite character while I was reading Jasper Jones because he is a strong character. He doesn’t have much family or friends in the book but seams to have a steady life. He had to grow up fast because his father isn’t around much and his mum died. He has to steal to get food and clothes so people think that he is no good and that the children of the town shouldn’t be around him, “He’s the rotten model that parents hold aloft as a warning: This is how you’ll end up if you’re disobedient.”

George Orwell, writer of the novel 1984, wrote in his book, "Until they become conscious they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious" (Orwell 74). The novel 1984 is all about a dystopian society that allows people to have very few freedoms. The people of Oceania are being watched constantly whether it is outside their homes or right in their living rooms. The people are not allowed to even have their own thoughts. There are thought police that are hidden throughout all of Oceania that monitor the people. If someone is thinking rebellious thoughts against the totalitarian power of Oceania then they could potentially be executed. In George Orwell’s 1984, clearly Winston Smith is physically, emotionally, and intellectually unorthodox.

They make choices that isolate themselves from everyone else. However, other characters are forced into isolation for reasons that are not in their control. The actions of another cause them to experience loneliness. The story begins with Robert Walton writing to his sister, Margaret, about his voyage to an undiscovered place.

In the novel In The Lake of the Woods O’Brien wrote “He didn’t talk much. Even his wife I don’t think she knew the first damn thing about him … well, about any of it. The man just kept everything buried” (qtd. in O’Brien, 8) which, in a way, shows readers how much the past has and is still affecting John Wade. He has gone through fighting in a war and has seen death, and even caused it in some cases, and even though he survived it still sticks with him and influences his actions. Many things affect the actions of John Wade, including the Vietnam war, his father's death, and losing the election.

In Mary Shelley Wollstonecraft’s novel, “Frankenstein”, it opens with Robert Walton's letters to his sister of his fantastic voyage to discover the North pole passage. He is presented as an established Englishman who is cultured and is in search of “some great purpose,” (Frankenstein letter 1) which would be either discovering the passage, secret to earth's magnetism, or merely just finding undiscovered land. In letter two and three Walton reveals that he is lonely and longs for a friend, He also shows that he has a romantic side and that he has a “love for the marvelous, a belief in the marvelous” (Frankenstein letter 2).On the short letter 3 he merely says that he has departed once again on his journey. Finally in the fourth letter, as he
