In Malcolm Gladwell’s “The Power of Context,” includes a series of short anecdotes in which are all defined by environment and how society shapes mankind. While reading these short stories Gladwell put into the novel, the audience can conclude that the rules of society have the power to shape a person or community. When reading “The Power of Context,” the reader must be able to grasp the understanding of how environment can affect an individual. One would say nature is the setting in which a person is brought up, nurture is the care variable one has the power to influence how they behave or how the setting can define who they are. In this style of writing Gladwell uses, shifts in societies behaviors tell stories of how the setting can influence behaviors of the main characters.

In George Saunders essay “thank you, Esther Forbes”, he describes how an author who he read during his youthful age helped him to understand why and how sentences can be important. The essay is written on a more personal note about a nun named Sister Lynette who helped Saunders to develop his perception of sentences. In third grade at St. Darmian School, Saunders was given the novel “Johnny Tremain” by Esther Forbes and that was a turning point for him. This was because the book provided him with a different understanding of the joys of reading as well as writing. On the other, “escape from spider head” helps in providing an analysis of the strengths of a man being put to test. The limits presented in the story are classified as physical, emotional as well as moral. The theme of the story is searching for humanity which makes the readers ask themselves, what makes us human? According to “escape from spider head” humans are considered to be innately empathetic in nature and they are considered to be people who are against the infliction of pain as well as discomfort which is caused on another innocent human being. The aim of the essay is to elaborate more on the connection existing between “Thank you, Esther Forbes” and “Escape from Spiderhead” in terms of the details presented in the two stories.

The adolescent and young adult stages in a person’s life are impressionable years, which is clearly demonstrated by Willa Cather’s ability to so vividly recall the details of rural Nebraska, despite only living there from the ages of nine to sixteen. However, in those seven short years, young Wilella - her birth name - met many questionable “mentors” who held great significance and responsibility in the life choices she pursues. The first of these shady characters in need of assessment is a man by the name of William Ducker.

Damon Knight’s “The Country of the Kind” follows a narrator who the audience at first knows little about, who lives in a society that is different from the norm, but is also initially left ambiguous. This sense of the unknown exists up until the narrator stumbles upon a pamphlet which opens up new viewpoints to the reader. The pamphlet serves to create three new perspectives in particular, all of which significantly shift the reader’s understanding of the story. First, it gives the reader a chance to understand the narrator and sympathize with him. Second, it offers a new perspective on society and their overall conception of what defines a utopia. The third and final perspective is that of the people who live within this society, and their interactions with the main characters. These three new perspectives prove to be formative in understanding the main character, his interactions with other characters in the story, and the role of society.

In this novel, there are different social environments that interact with the Lee family. Each of these environments interact with the Lee family in different ways. Some environments interact for the better, and some are very concerning.

To begin, the Clarkston townsfolk had to eliminate the isolation between themselves and the refugees and accept the reality of their town changing. The refugees were set to live in apartments on one side of the town, while a majority of the

The two articles “Boys Life and “Emancipation: A Life Fable” both have a comparable theme. The theme is similar because in both passages the main character is looking for freedom. Moreover, in the text “Boys Life” Cory wants to get dismissed from class because it is the last day of school. In “Emancipation: A Life Fable” the animal wants to escape his cage to wander the Earth. The passages also show that new situations can cause discomfort.

Social and physical environments are an integral part of a well developed story. The physical environment is a stage for the introduction of characters. The Stage will immerse the characters within a story and give it context. Social environments are defined by external social constraints. These constraints are used to build and define a culture. The social constraints of a culture will place bounds and limits to the actions of it’s members. This paper will briefly discuss the importance of Social and physical environments, within “Paul’s Case “by Willa Cather and “Death by Landscape” by Margret Atwood

Throughout the historical based novel, Goodnight Mr.Tom is about an abused evacuee from London who has been evacuated to the countryside with his caretaker, Tom. The author Michelle Magorian, provided that one of the protagonists, Willie, has changed throughout the book with the help of Tom and his friends. Notwithstanding, we can look at the novel in a different manner. To demonstrate, take the case when Willie gets frightened of animals and when he stops wetting his bed or when Willie has volunteered himself to act in the play. Provided that, in this novel, Willie has significantly changed both emotionally and physically from an abused and timid boy to a more confident and outgoing boy.

It has been said that there are only about 18 or so themes that describe the human condition. This quote was made in reference to Shakespeare, and posited that all of the books and movies that we digest and assimilate can be shown to have their roots in these canonical themes. In Cien Anos, Marquez addresses several of these themes in the subtle and interlocking

However, on this day another came to mind for me, The Theology of Hospitality. These people had either not attended Weaver’s Chapel for years or possibly had never attended. The Theology of Hospitality as I understand it is through the teachings of Christine Pohl the author of Living into Community: Cultivating Practices that Sustain Us. Psychologically humans have a deep rooted need to belong, to be accepted and to be valued. Hospitality gains its root within that need. Hospitality shows where a community values others and has something valuable to share. It draws from God’s grace and also reflects His graciousness. As Methodist we value connection with others and hospitality increases and strengthens our relationships with others. Sustaining hospitality over time takes living in gratitude which in turn must be cultivated by living in response to God’s grace and love. Being welcoming to the stranger is a integral part of being hospitable. Hospitality is not cheap it is, to me, costly just as Bonhoeffer described Costly Grace. It cost us opening up, being transparent and being honest with one another. It is in this openness that we are able to welcome in others

In the first place, I want to introduce Charles Dickens’ novel, “Bleak House”. One of the most influential arguments presented in this novel is the social and legal disagreement between families. The author criticize the judicial system of the period through the story of a woman named Esther and the secrets that surrounded her life. Certainly, the conflict of the novel was the issues presented in order to claim an inheritance. The reason of all the dispute with the wills was because all the unknown hidden facts between the beneficiaries. At the end, all the conflicts were solve by the discovery of another will that revoked the other ones. Without a doubt, one of the most relevant characteristic of the novel is that it is told by both, a third-person

London uses Will as comparison, to emphasize his point that Johnny is in horrible physical condition for his age. Will does not work to support the family like Johnny does, even though he is capable to do so because his mother has other plans for his future. He eats well and lives a stress-free life, contrary to Johnny’s occupied schedule leaving no time for rest or relaxation unless he falls ill. Johnny no longer contains resilience because he feels there is no bright and content side to his existence, and his only purpose is to resemble the “work-beast” that society inclines him to be.

Did you know that a light-hearted friendship and a precarious prison escape can use analogous strategies to construct their theme? In the texts, “The Count of Monte Cristo” by Alexandre Dumas and “Blessings” by Mary Hall Surface, the authors both develop their theme using different and similar techniques. The first story’s theme, hope for liberty, and the second story’s theme, getting along can engender a cherished relationship, is expressed through the characters’
