Where The Red Fern Grows Chapter 3 Summary

In the day where technology is thriving, and the communication through email and text messages are now the common norm, there has been a steady decline and absence on the use of proper punctuation. The slow disappearance of punctuation standards, like commas and apostrophes, indicate the need for change towards the written world. Lynne Truss considers herself a stickler for punctuation, and her book, Eats, Shoots and Leaves addresses the minority of those who regard themselves as punctuation "sticklers" as well. Through the use of humor, figurative language such as relatable analogies and real life anecdotes, Lynne Truss creates a call to action for all the fellow punctuation sticklers: embrace proper punctuation, and require zero tolerance for those who use it incorrectly.

The story takes place in a post-apocalyptic setting. Therefore, there is hardly any food available to The Man and The boy throughout the story. The Man is constantly sacrificing his food for his son throughout the entire story. In addition they endure harsh weather conditions. For most of the story it is very cold and finding warmth is a task the man faces for his son and himself. These two problems are shown in one sentence of the story. “They ate a poor meal and lay down in the cold,” (McCarthy 12).

In “Living Like Weasels”, the author Annie Dillard suggests that human beings are capable of benefiting from adopting the prospect of a weasel. This main idea is based on the weasel’s ability to live in a tedious, unrestricted, and focused state of mind. As a result, weasels are able to accomplish their goals because they possess a persistent nature. Therefore, human beings who acquire the trait known as persistence benefit from having an animalistic instinct, which allows them to complete their goals through a focused and determined mindset. Overall, the purpose of this paper is to examine the expressed traits of persistence found throughout this short story, which includes tedious, unrestricted, and focused.

'You should thank him you know, I wouldn’t have given you anything' "(McCarthy 173).

   “Why do some people persist despite insurmountable obstacles, while others give up quickly or never bother to try” (Gunton 118)? A Raisin in the Sun, a play by Lorraine Hansberry, is a commentary on life and our struggle to comprehend and control it. The last scene in the play between Asagai and Beneatha contrasts two contemporary views on why we keep on trying to change the future, and reaches the conclusion that, far from being a means to an end, the real meaning of life is the struggle. Whether we succeed or not, our lives are purposeful only if we have tried to make the world a better place for ourselves and others- only, in other words, if we follow our dreams.

One theme in “The Outsiders” is that struggle is just something that brings someone down in life, but is leading them to something great. To explain this theme. S.E Hinton uses the character Darrel Curtis in the book “The Outsiders.” Darrel Curtis has gone through a lot of struggle to provide for his brothers and take care of them. He had an opportunity to build his own story in life but ever since his parents died, he had to work two jobs and take a decision that would change his future.

When it comes to murder cases, most people would agree that they can’t be left unsolved. In the short story “In a Bamboo Grove” by Ryunosuke Akutagawa, the murder of Takehiro takes place in a grove of bamboo. Three people have confessed, including the victim himself. The author than decided to leave the story of by leaving it unsolved. I believe that Masago, the wife of Takehiro, killed him. I believe this because Masago’s confession was the only one that took place away from the courtroom. Also, all the confessions consisted of Masago wanting Takehiro dead. Although, the bandit Tajomaru and Takehiro played a convincing act of killing Takehiro, but they both have reason to cover for Masago.

This portion of the story is about endurance. When one choses to better himself and go against the normal flow, he doesn’t go about it without reaching a low point. During this low point an individual might be convinced that what he or she is doing is a waste of time, and that bettering ones self is not worth the pain and exclusion. But like Jonathan, a person must shake off those thoughts and remember the true reason for bettering themselves. Only once someone has achieved victory over an aspect of their life will they experience the freedom that Jonathan did.
