Kurt Vonnegut is known for his dark humor, wit, and imagination. He is consistently listed among the great American authors of the later twentieth century and his novel’s such as Cat’s Cradle and Slaughterhouse Five are considered modern classics. In this essay, I will focus on two of Vonnegut’s short stories “Welcome to the Monkey House” (1968) which takes place in a dystopian future where everyone is required to take pills that take all the pleasure out of sex and “Miss Temptation” (1959) which takes place in a small east coast town by looking at them through a feminist lense. Both stories come to the same ultimate conclusion that over-moralization of human sexuality is pointless and harmful but they come to this conclusion in very

The Magic in the Paw “The Monkey’s Paw” is a short story written by William Wymark Jacobs. This story has many uses of symbolism and imagery. The Whites family has three people, namely Mr. White, Mrs. White, and their son Herbert White.

While trying to encourage his father to fight for his last breath, he gives examples of four men from all walks of life that fought to the very end. The author starts with the “wise men” who know that “dark is right”

William Golding uses Piggy to advance the themes of the novel by using him as a starting point. Piggy shows themes in a minor way before they develop and become more prominent. Piggy is like a seed for the themes, the idea is planted into Piggy and then develops and becomes a plant. Advancement in themes is shown through the progression of how Piggy is interacted with and treated from the other boys. A theme that is clearly shown this way is the theme of compassion and empathy. The first time this theme shows up in the book is in the way Ralph treats Piggy from just merely the looks of him. Piggy clearly tells Ralph that he does not want to be called Piggy or have the others boys his name is Piggy. However, Ralph tells them any way showing

A central theme of "The Monkey's Paw" is how taking unnecessary risks can lead to sorrow and death. At the beginning of the story, Mr. White, who lives in a cozy, warm, happy house, decides to use the monkey's paw for money that he does not need. In the text, Mr. White voices his concerns, “‘I don't know what to wish for, and that's a fact,’ he said, slowly. ‘It seems to me I've got all I want.’” Because Mr. White made an unnecessary risk, even when the sergeant warned him of the danger and consequences of using the paw, he suffered. If he had not made the superfluous wish in the first place, his life would have stayed cozy and happy, but because he did, he sacrificed his and his family’s happiness and unity just to see what would happen. Additionally,

The story begins on a rainy evening with Mrs. White, Mr. White, and their son Herbert gathered in the parlor. Mrs. White is sitting in her chair knitting as she looks on as her husband is losing to Herbert in a game of chess. From the inside, Mr. White can hear the footsteps of someone walking along their walkway and onto their porch. Mr. White immediately gets up to answer the door and is happy to see his longtime friend Sergeant-major Morris. Mr. White introduces Sergeant-major Morris to his wife and son and invites him into the parlor where they could have drinks. After a couple of drinks, Sergeant-major Morris begins entertaining the family about his adventures in India, when Mr. White

face up to the mortality of man by the death of his best friend and his own mortality, moving

In the third stanza, the message is that those that fight against death and claim that they could have accomplished more if they could continue to live, are good men. The next stanza speaks about wild men who have celebrated and "caught" the sun-symbolizing life-have realized that their lives are nearing their end. The second last stanza speaks of men who are very close to dying, but they realize that they can continue to fight against death. They decide that they are going to "blaze light meteors and be gay" instead of merely accepting their death and just dying. In the final stanza, the speaker directs the poem to their father who is close to dying. The speaker insists that his father "curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears" meaning that his father's death is devastating, but if he battles against death, it'll be heroic. The poem ends with the two lines that have been repeated throughout the poem meaning that the father should not submit to death, instead he should continue to battle

“AHHHHHH,” The stunning woman screeched at the top of her lungs. Markus dropped down from the tree, laughing so hard tears rolled down his face. Apollo’s roar of laughter could be heard throughout the forest.

That includes the Good man’s last wave goodbye, or the wild man who caught the sun in flight. The situations in which he uses to inspire his dying father to keep fighting the good fight are designed to remind his father of the man who he is, was, and will forever be. The image of a good man waving goodbye represents how someone reaches up as they move forward to the gates of heaven. Additionally Dylan Thomas used the example of a wild man catching the sun in flight he was referring to how an outlaw rides off into the sunset to fight another day. It is that lifestyle that can make or break the will of the strongest

Different events in life can change who people are. These events can change anyone including people who are civilized and well educated. Life-changing events bring out different sides of people. These sides can be unexpected and sometimes horrifying. This is shown in the novel Lord of the Flies by William Golding. A group of well-educated and upper-class boys survive a plane crash and are stranded on a deserted island in the Pacific. These boys range from younger kids to teenage boys. The island and the challenge of survival tests the boys on who they really are. Some of these boys want to survive in an orderly and productive way whereas others are not concerned about getting rescued and turn into savages. In the novel Lord of the Flies by William Golding, the author uses character conflict and setting to teach that man is essentially good but has evil in him. Whether or not he chooses to let the evil take over in times of adversity decides if he is civilized or not.

The Monkey’s Paw by W.W Jacob and The Necklace by Guy Maupassant States the theme is be careful what you wish for because In the Monkey’s Paw their last son alive dies and in the necklace the couple lost their luxuries and youth.

Despite of the journey, the adventures he comes through and the achievement of his goal, the protagonist is shown at the very end of the film as a declining being at his twilight. As he sees himself too much isolated, he realizes about the most important moral in life, which is summarized handwritten by himself in real life, novel and film adaptation: “happiness is only real when shared”. After all his struggles to get into the wild looking for happiness, he spends his last moments thinking of his relatives, whose he had pushed himself out as they were a load to fulfill his self-realization.

He honestly starts with owning up a murder made by him. In my opinion, if the text is checked with trying to understand his background, it can be construct as admit of his own rambunctiously life. ”I killed a man. Put a gun against his head. Pulled my trigger. Now he is dead.” As a broad interpretation it explains his sickness, made with the wild life what he lived. He tells with the metaphor that he went too far, he just killed himself with a gun. He realizes that his life is dangerously approaching to its end that he has just started now. He is feeling the weight of his words. He starts to apologize for what he disbosom. He feels that this self-revelation is too factual. He says “my time has come”, like he resigned his fate. There is a big hesitation from the author. He just making paradoxes with stating first that he is desperate and second that he is absolutely resigned his fate. The big confused feeling is growing. He closes the second part with another paradoxical state. He unmask his fear from death, he do not want to die. Vice versa at the last sentence of this second part he says “I sometimes wish I’d never born at all.” He chooses literarily the death, but without living
