Willa Cather Accomplishments

As the young girl Anne Frank once said, “Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart.” Believing everybody is like that is difficult, there are many or few people we dislike. Therefore, that dislike overpowers the thought that they could be good. If we could get past the dislike, we could realize that they are good. Both “ The Diary of Anne Frank” and “ Freedom Writers” teach readers that ordinary people can do an extraordinary thing. (Freedom Writers) (Anne Frank)

I believe My Mortal Enemy is Cather’s way of expressing the love life of a couple whom she knows very well, if not her own love life.

Everyone goes through significant events in their lifetime. These events can range from the death of a loved one to the achievement of an educational goal.

People get inspiration from so many things. Some people get inspiration from things they read about, some people get inspiration from things they dislike, or from new things they learn. Some authors get their inspiration from life experiences. Edgar Allan Poe had lots of disappointment and darkness in his life. This darkness feel can be found in many of his works such as “The Tell-tale Heart”, “The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar”, “The Black Cat”, and “The Cask of Amontillado”. Similar to Poe, S.E. Hinton used her experience of being a teenager growing up in the 60s to write her book, “The Outsiders”, a book about the life of a group of teens who are growing up in the 60s. Similar to Poe and S.E. Hinton, Elie Wiesel used his experiences of living in multiple concentration camps to write a memoir to share his experience with the world. As demonstrated above, authors can use their lives as inspiration for their writing.

Introduced by tragedies early in his life, Edgar Allan Poe became one of the most successful writers, poets, and storytellers to ever live. Edgar Allan Poe had the intelligence to do anything he wanted to do, however, the pain of losing his loved ones always seemed to drive him towards a pen and paper. His emotions never failed to show through his writings, which helped the story line touch the readers. Poe became very close to several different women but each would die shortly after he came to love them. This only pushed him to write more emotionally. Poe had a natural talent for putting his real life experiences into a fictional story and making it seem as if it were really happening.
