The exposition started the moment Hugh Glass' previous story was shared to us. His village was raided and houses were set on fire. Moving forward, Hugh Glass led a team to hunt in an unknown territory in the middle of the forest. His team was suddenly attacked by Arikara Natives while he was out hunting with his son ,far away from the others. They engaged in a bloody duel with the Arikara Natives.

What would a world without God feel like? Probably similar to a heart without God, empty, violent, with a longing to fill a void that can’t be filled without His presence.

I believe the book The Glass Castle was a thought out and planned book and would be an excellent book to read just not for teens but, any adult that like stories like these. I feel like this book should have been voted as one of the top books because the book shows the true meaning of what it means of being independent and self sufficient. It tells us that anything you want in life you have to work for it and focus on what lies ahead. Jeannette demonstrates this in a part of the book with her dad it was Christmas and the family did not have any money for the kids to eat and or have presents. Her father took her outside and told her pick a star but instead she chooses the planet Venus. At that very moment you could tell what type of person

City of Glass is a novel written by Paul Auster in 1985, and its one of the stories included in the series of novels The New York Trilogy (1987). One of the essential themes that recur in many of Austers works is the search for identity and personal meaning, and this is exactly one of the main elements of City of Glass. It deals with this detective writer, who descends into madness when he becomes a private investigator himself by mistake.

In both City of Bones and City of Glass, there are important symbols the two texts show in order to develop and support major themes throughout the texts. In City of Glass, the main symbol of the book is the Morgenstern ring, (which is a family ring that gets passed down from generation to generation in the Morgenstern family). The Morgenstern ring symbolizes the overall emotion of love. A place where this symbol shows significance, is when Clary finds out the truth about Jace, that he’s not really her brother. “They stood there motionless not saying a word; slowly Clary took off the ring.” Page 489. This shows how this ring symbolizes love because she took the ring off when she found out that Jace wasn’t really her brother after all, and the only reason why she wore it in the first place was for Jace to make her motivated as a character. Moving on to City of Bones, one important symbol the text explains is a raven. The raven can symbolize many different things such as intelligence or wisdom, however, the main idea the raven symbolizes is also the emotion of love. One example of this is on page 237,

The unicorn just like Laura, stands out from the rest of the horses.

The Glass Menagerie is a five-character memory play written by Tennessee Williams in 1945.
