The Lady Or The Tiger, The Adventures Of The Speckled Band

The idea that literature should be written to inspire a sense of morality in the reader has never been uncommon. Poetic justice is the device used to create a moral compass for a piece of literature. In essence, poetic justice occurs when a character gets exactly what they deserve. This concept is most prominent in situations where a character commits a misdeed and is met with punishment of equal gravitas. The ideas of poetic justice are consistently apparent throughout literary history; so, it is no surprise that Geoffrey Chaucer presents the idea in his own The Canterbury Tales. Chaucer’s “The Miller’s Tale” epitomizes the ideas of poetic justice. Each major character is subjected to a degree of punishment in return for their actions. Unlike stereotypical poetic justice, characters in “The Miller’s Tale” are not punished solely on their actions; but, for their failure to meet society’s expectations.

Using the narrative skills we have discussed in class, create an ending to the story of “The Lady or the Tiger,” picking up from the segment below:

To write a good story you need to get the reader's attention, so I have some advice on how to . Conflict is a problem, if you use it to your advantage the reader will focus .When you make conflict, two neurochemicals are released, called Cortisol and Oxytocin. Cortisol helps the “ mind focus intensely on the source of that stress” (R. pg. 7, l. 49-50). Cortisol is

The point of view of the narrative provides the aura of a primeval story, with classic fairy tale elements incorporated. “The Lady, Or the Tiger?” starts out with third person omniscient, where the narrator knows all the thoughts and feelings of the characters, leading to a fairy tale quality. The lack

Fiction has been around for centuries, feeding the imagination of young and older minds. Usually when people read a fictional story, they don’t think about the connotation the story tries to convey. But every story has a message, and whether it be big or small, it takes a complex, deeper thinking to be able to find that message. It is apparent that the reason we study fiction is to be able to find that deeper thinking within ourselves and enrich our imagination.

Thomas Hardy once stated that “A story must be exceptional enough to justify its telling; it must have something more unusual to relate than the ordinary experience of every average man and woman.” This quote encapsulates the key element of what makes a story interesting and worth telling: its uniqueness and deviation from the ordinary. While every average man and woman experience stories in their everyday life, they are typically uninteresting and uneventful. A story worth telling must contain the opposite; it must be so exceptional in its characters and events that it lies unparalleled among the life of any average person. Not only do the characters and setting of the story have to be exceptional, but a story worth telling will also contain unique literary elements. Various lessons, themes, symbols, imagery, and other literary devices may be present to further add to the story’s excellence. For these reasons, Lord of the Flies by William Golding and In Cold Blood by Truman Capote serve as two of the most prominent exemplifications of this quote, as both stories are exceptional enough to justify their telling.

Stories are powerful. In the past, long before books, people used stories to pass down history and legends to create a deeper understanding of their heritage. It was also a way to pass down morals and values from generation to generation. More than just a way of preserving the past, storytelling is a great way to bridge the gap between a reader’s heart and that of the writer. Everyone has a story to tell no matter what kind it may be. Although there is an art to storytelling, at its very foundation, the practice is merely a means of communicating one’s experiences. Perhaps out of a lack of

I like "To Build the Fire" best, because of not only my interest adventure but also the breathtaking scenery and psychological description. Reading English story is not very easy to me but I couldn't stop reading this one.

This was my favorite due to the fact that it allowed for a connection between each story as well as showed a possible progression of the disease. Secondly, it showed many different ways an animal can get affected by this disease. This allowed for a broader scope of understanding as it showed that there was more than one symptom, when it come to this disease. I also really enjoyed the progression of book as it when chronologically, when it came to the instances. This allowed for a cohesive understanding of the material as well as a more collective though when it came to the disease itself.

I also was very intrigue with the Flannery O’Connor short story and loved how the narrator pulled you in with real life family scenario. Taking a look at your response to the shocking different of each story and the level of anticipation in each is higher to me in the second story. The first story felt predictable with what was to come and the second was not so easy to predict.

The two books that I choose is The Adventure of Tom Sawyer and Trash. The Adventure of Tom Sawyer was an adventurous book. It also had a crime scene. The Adventure Of Tom Sawyer was an Adventurous book, because Tom and his friend Huckleberry Finn went to a graveyards to cure warts and they also went to a haunted house. Each time they went to the graveyard and haunted house, they saw the murderer. They both were scared because they told about the murderer in the court. In Trash, it was an adventurous book and also had a crime scene. Trash is an adventurous book, because they were three trash boys that found a bag that they police had. They had to run away from the police and they met many new people on the way and learnt about Jose Angelico. The crime scene was when Raphael, one of the Trash boys, was in jail because the police found out he had the bag and he won’t surrender it. Both of these book are fiction. Both of the book, really got my attention. I really loved the book so much. I read it five times.

Through literary works, writers allow for diverse endings or alternate endings to realistic events or just any event shows through creations of their imaginations and subconscious thoughts that possibly end up creating actual change in the world. The cycle between literature and society endlessly continues in a way since the outcome of a decision to go into a bigger picture that can not decide by one but many minor decisions and one being the decision to take on something greater than themselves, although most of the time the first thought avoids what seems calculates impossibly for just one person and deny the opportunity of a

Throughout history, literature has inspired it’s become a way for the voices of people to be heard. Authors have used their literary works to send messages to the readers through presenting specific themes and developing certain characters in their stories. In “The Luck of Roaring Camp”, “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge”, and “The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky”, the authors develop themes such as “the strongest love can be shown by the roughest people”, “time is deceitful”, and “family is an important aspect of each and everyone’s daily lives”. The authors of these stories act as “moral purifiers” presenting their case through their creative works that, left up to the reader, may have a positive impact upon society.

My favorite thing that we read was Call of the Wild. This one is my favorite because it has great details and the author explains everything in great details. Call of the Wild was a great book, it made sense and the book drew my attention within the first couple sentences. Call of the Wild is a great literature book, and it has many different settings and I like that.

Everyone who has ever lived in today’s society and world has asked themselves one of the most intriguing questions life can offer “why do bad things happen to good people?” Often times we wonder why the world we live in is unfair but the answer never comes, leaving us with the never ending quest of finding the true answer to that question. If the world is unjust to those who do good and bad and we accept this concept, we must now tackle the second best question most people wonder, how must we or should we conduct ourselves and our lives if we live in an unjust world? We can look at three authors, or stories, from three different times in Literature and learn the ideals of their times in relation to the way we accept and live in the world we
