Analyzing the Moral Convictions of the Main Character’s in Sophocles’ Antigone. In the story of Antigone several characters made major and, definitive decisions based on their subjective morals and emotions. In almost every scenario a specific character was given the ultimatum of life or death. To the reader’s surprise, the characters chose death in order to remain consistent to their personal beliefs. I concluded that Sophocles intended for this element to convey that, people who are dogmatic in
The bright colors caught my eye and the image reminded me a little of my hometown. Where I come from there's a large range of ethnicity and when I saw this lithograph it brought back old memories. Of when, I guess you can call them thugs, would drive up and down the streets of Dumas in there decked out lowriders thinking they were the coolest thing since sliced bread.

I am writing a literary analysis on “The House on Mango Street” by Sandra Cisneros. This story takes place in the center of an over populated Latino neighborhood in Chicago, a city where many of the poor areas are ethnically segregated. This novella uses two main symbols shoes and trees. Later in the literary analysis I will explain what these mean to the main characters.

The super-objective is evident in the characters inner motive forces, as well as through

Analyzing the poems, short-stories, and anything else the author has written, may show the readers what factors helped shape how they wrote. It could also determine the themes given, how the character’s act amongst each other, and how certain scenes are presented. Overall, a literally analysis is written to let
Drama analysis I tried to imagine that I go to a big theater to watch plays with uniform many years ago. It is a very classic and formal show for me. I think that the plays will be better than the vast majority of television shows or movies because the live shows more need actors’ performance on the stage. The audience can see the actors reveal feelings more easily. A good plays and a paper drama are inseparable. When I see a paper drama, I can find there are a setting of scenes and characters
exhibited by this character, including, but not limited to, being self-sacrificing and loyal, manifestations of divine qualities, displaying kindness or forgiveness. With the advent of postmodern literature, authors tend to avoid the theme of resurrection, but rather focus on a symbolic martyr; sacrificing himself for the greater good. Authors frequently and consistently make use of this archetypal figure
knowledge increases ever with the acquisition of it.” - Laurence Sterne I still remember my joy as a six year old when the first computer arrived at my school. We were to stand in a line and type in our names into it. The sense of satisfaction for having done it without any flaws was unbelievable. It is at that point the computer bug bit me. Right from my childhood, I have always been an inquisitive person, a voracious reader who has raised the question “Why does this happen?” With this desire to learn
