The Chieftest Mourner Story

The main reason that this book has an excellent storyline is because of the description of each story event and its process that fascinates and mesmerises the audience by capturing their attention in the author’s most meaningful experiences. The author was able to take on the challenge of fitting her autobiography into a limited amount of pages without affecting the quality of the story, making it more appealing. The author was able to achieve this as she only wrote out the main events that affected her life immensely. As a result, the story delivers a very straightforward and meaningful plotline. For example, the author would put in interesting events from every grade, like where she talks about her wanting to go to school and nothing else in the first chapter. This book also has a good storyline because of the different decisions that Samanci had to make as she wrote the story on how she developed in different kinds situations, which resulted in her having to choose between different paths in every critical turning point of her life. For instance, after getting in trouble many times at the prestigious high school, Samanci decided to go to a public school and ended up getting into a university that she dreamed of, a decision that makes the story develop much faster and captures the audience’s attention. In addition, the author used very humorous ways of telling the reader of the political aspect in Turkey, like when she talked about how Turkey’s leader Ataturk revolutionized the country and how Turkey banned a lot of foreign products at the time. These examples and ways of delivering the story’s meaning all reflect how Samanci wrote a superb story.

The story is quite brief and its plot is simple. Given that it is portrayed as a real event, it has messages that exist both on the surface and more profoundly.

In my opinion, the author, Ruta Sepetys, moves the novel in an interesting fashion. I liked how there are many characters and how there is a lot of things happening. The author kept the reader interested at all times throughout the novel. The author, Ruta Sepetys, who writes historical non fiction books just as this novel, was born the daughter of a Lithuanian Refugee which may have influenced her to write this very novel. It is geared in a positive way due to Joana, a main character in the novel, helping to portray this with her nursing skills. Seeing the book in the Character of Joana’s eyes affects the overall novel in many different ways. Some may be on Joana’s good side and others may be on her bad side.

The most important aspect of the Latin American culture has everything to do with honor. Women have the biggest responsibility when it comes to honor. Losing your honor might undoubtedly portray as the worst deed in this culture. In a Chronicle of a Death Foretold the author Gabriel Marquez demonstrates the horrifying actions taken when losing one’s honor. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the events that occurred in the novel and compare them to the same the culture and also the outcomes of going against your religion in different cultures.

This year, we read four great works of literature. Each piece is so different from each other, yet all writing demonstrates that everybody is human and experiences harsh circumstances. At the point when life gets difficult, people read books to realize that they are not the only one. In each great piece of writing, we see and feel the characters' battles and feelings of anguish that makes it so relatable for the readers. The characters show the genuine unpredictability of life. In the pieces we read we see death, tragedy, and courage portrayed magnificently.

The concept and belief of honor in the Columbian culture in Chronicle of a Death Foretold is one of the deciding aspects of the character's actions, motives, and beliefs. Nobody questions the actions taken to preserve ones honor because it is such an important moral trait that one must cherish. In this society a man or woman without honor is an outcast to the community and to the culture. In Chronicle of a Death Foretold two twin brothers are burdened with defending this tradition of honor. The brothers find out that their sister has lost her virginity before marriage and she claims that Santiago Nasar is to blame. To regain the honor of their sister, and their family the brothers believe it is their duty to kill Santiago Nasar. Could such

To start off, a part I did not like about the book was the part about Ove’s dad. I felt as though this complicated the plot a lot and was not necessary to the base of the book. It did not need to be added into the book because it had no effect to my understanding of what was happening in the book. If anything it made me more confused because it went back in time, then it came back to the present and it was confusing what time period we were in at the moment. A good part of the book was when Parvaneh was becoming friends with Ove because he needed to get out of his daily routine. Ove needed someone to shake up the life he had been living for many years. I would not recommend this book to adolescents because the book was confusing at some points and the humor was guided towards the adults. Personally, I would read another book by Fredrik Backman because the book was still very well written. I also could understand the book, for the most part. To continue, this book would be better read by adults because the humor was more guided to that age group. Also, this book is still relevant today because people do not live forever. We have to learn to move on from the bad times just like Ove did. When a loved one dies we feel grief, but like Ove we use the people around us to begin to feel better about what happened to us. In conclusion, this was a good book and I would rate it three out of five

Although the story isn’t based on completely factual events, truths can be extracted that are applicable to the lives of everyday people.

It is about a family who were forced to go to camp, and when they came back their home was completely destroyed from the inside, and it had seemed like someone was living in there. There windows were broken, all their furniture and the things they left behind, none of it was there. This novel shows how hard it is go back to where you live and adjust to the new people who are racist against you. It displays that the war tore a whole family apart from the neighborhood they have living in for so long. One and only reason the family had was, living together and starting a new life with a fresh start and build stronger relationships with each other. Going through camp, it made their relationships stronger because they went through the difficult times together, and they all made it through. Though the book has a happily ever after, the internment camp and the war made a deep scar in their lives, something that can never be erased from their memories even if they tried. The war had some after effects such as racism. So the family had to go through the war, then the camp, and lastly the after effects of the war. This relates to “The Daughter from Danang”, because it was hard to Heidi to adjust to her homeland and birth mother, just as it was hard for the family to adjust living without their father, and moving into the camp, then lastly moving

     This book combines characteristics of a suspense thriller with those of a tragedy and is a very interesting book to read. I liked the detail that the author went into about the psychological aspects of the characters in making the decisions that they made. I thought that the characters were well developed and I liked the detail that the author went into about the settings. A detailed setting can really increase the intensity and realism of a situation in a book. This book contained some difficult words that lower level readers might not understand. I would recommend that anyone looking for a suspense/tragedy oriented book should look to this one. The beginning is a somewhat tedious read, but that is only because the author takes so much time to develop the

Twenty years before the Holocaust, the Armenian Genocide took the lives of more than two million. During this time, Armenians were subjected to torture, starvation, deportation, and massacre. Daughter of War, written by Marsha F. Skrypuch, takes place during this time, centred around two main characters, Kevork and Marta, two Armenian teens in love, sent to march to death, who both survive, only at different times. It is the story of their peregrination back to each other and everything they, as Armenians, go through, teaching of life during wwI in Turkey, and of all hardships Armenians endured. Through a shifting narrative point of view, character development, and it's title, Daughter of War unveils its predominant messages, which comprises

Traditionally, women have been known as the less dominant sex. They have been stereotyped as being only housewives and bearers of the children. Many interesting characters in literature are conceived from the tension women have faced with men. This tension is derived from men; society, in general; and within a woman herself. Kate Chopin‘s short story, “The Story of an Hour”, focus on a woman’s dilemma near the turn of the 19th century. Contradicting the “normal” or sad assumption of death, “The Story of an Hour” illustrates the significance of death representing freedom. The Story narrates about an hour of Louise Mallard’s life, as she tries to understand, and deal with her feelings of her husbands death.

Where you’re supposed to be is some big West Hills wedding reception in a big manor house with flower arrangements and stuffed mushrooms all over the house. This is called scene setting: where everybody is, who’s alive, who’s dead. This is Evie Cottrell’s big wedding reception moment. Evie is standing halfway down the big staircase in the manor house foyer, naked inside what’s left of her wedding dress, still holding her rifle.

This short story was really straight forward until it got to the end, where it had a twist, which made me pick the story to write on. Kate Chopin did an outstanding job using symbolism, but this novel is not for all ages, if you know what I mean. How the setting, tone and theme all tie all together is what makes the story different from the others.

In America, there is a judicial system that helps justice prevail, to punish criminals, and let the innocent walk. The judicial system allows for there to be a trial where evidence is presented. Through the evidence presented, the jury then decides if the person on trial is innocent or guilty. Never in any trial, in any courthouse, under any judge would it be allowed for a murder to be justified so that one could restore a relative’s honor. However, this is not true in the location of Chronicle of a Death Foretold, as the Vicario twins were found innocent due to “legitimate case of honor, which was by the court upheld in good faith” (Marquez 48). The reason that this honor is upheld is
