A desire leads to boldness and boldness leads to bold decisions. This summer for my writing project I read A Raisin in the Sun, a drama by Lorraine Hansberry and The Red Badge of Courage, a story by Stephen Crane. For the book I could choose not from the list, I read Infidel a novel by Ted Dekker. Although these three books were in different time periods and had different dramas, they had very similar themes. The theme of A Raisin in the Sun was desire. The theme of The Red Badge of Courage was boldness. The theme of Infidel was decisions. That leads me to think that the three themes of boldness, desire, and decisions, all relate to each other.

The set of A Raisin In The Sun will accomplish telling the story about their dreams through the objects in the house being well maintained. This does not mean that everything is brand new, in fact, it is quite the opposite. To showcase this a variety of objects are acceptable, however the couch and rug are primary examples. The rug would be impeccable without a spot of dirt, but would have worn spots and faded patches.The couch must appear well maintained, however, would sag slightly in the middle and have discolored spots from years of use. Other details to add are small dents in the doorframe or scratches on the wall.

"Never shall I forget that night, the first night in the camp, which has turned my life into one long night, seven times cursed and seven times sealed. Never shall I forget that smoke. Never shall I forget the little wreaths of smoke beneath a silent blue sky. Never shall I forget those flames which consumed my faith forever. Never shall I forget that nocturnal silence which deprived me, for all eternity, of the desire to live. Never shall I forget those moments which murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to dust. Never shall I forget these things, even if I am condemned to live as long as God Himself. Never."

In “That Evening Sun,” William Faulkner uses only thousands of words to recreate the old, cruel doctrine of racial discrimination in the South America. The whole story is told by a young boy, and it analyses the miserable life of a poor black woman, Nancy, from a naïve child’s perspective. The words in the story are simple but straightforward.

Under the child’s simple narration, there are darkness and misery lying under the mask.

     The sun is the largest object in the solar system. It is a middle-sized star and there are many other stars out in the universe just like it.

On the surface it is 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit and the core is a stunning 27,000,000 degrees Fahrenheit. But don’t worry we are over 90,000 million miles away, the sun could never reach us, at least not yet. The sun is a still a middle aged star and later in its life it will become a Red Giant. In this stage it will get bigger, and closer to us causing a temperature increase and most likely the
