Becoming obsessed is easier than one would presume. Everyone becomes obsessed with someone, something, or even themselves once in their lifetime. Indisputably through her novel If Ever I Return, Pretty-Peggy-O, Sharyn McCrumb highlights such the theme of obsession with the people in an atypical rural town with select community members. McCrumb twists the ordinary murder-mystery storyline by incorporating the standout theme of obsession through two prime characters: Peggy Muryan, a folk singer celebrity, new to the town of Hamelin, Tennessee, and a young boy who is intrigued with Vietnam, Pix-Kyle Weaver, and just how Pix’s particular fixation leads a person to perpetrating crimes.
The Junie B. Jones series has become extremely popular over the years. There are many people that love the stories because of how witty Junie B. is. It is also true that a large number of children can connect with her since Barbra Park created the series with Junie B. speaking in first person as the narrator. However, there are a lot of concerns with the amount of disrespect seen by Junie. Additionally, there could be an educational confusion for children who are trying to learn to read and pronounce words correctly. The Junie B. Jones series basically glorifies being bad, not listening to adults and using language that a five or six year old should not be using. The ruthless actions and improper usage of communication by Junie B. in the Junie B. Jones series can be very confusing and misleading for the young children that are expected to read these books.
It is often said that the people one surrounds themselves with can reflect things about themselves, such as their beliefs and ideals. One’s friends and acquaintances can reveal subconscious attractions to people that fulfill their ideals or agree with the things they say, but these relationships can also help one discover their personal philosophies by reinforcing opposing views. Indeed, in J.D. Salinger’s novel, The Catcher in the Rye, the way Holden reacts to and interacts with secondary characters reveal his established philosophies and the values he holds most dear to him.

Battles and fights are some examples of conflict in most fictional stories. They can be many different fights, like the epic battle between good and evil, or a kingdom defending their land from enemies. When people think of the word ‘battle’, they may think of climatic sword fights and war. But sometimes, battles can take place inside of a person. Perhaps a character may have conflicting aspirations and desires that may cause an internal battle and maybe result in something catastrophic. Or perhaps a character has opposing personalities that might clash and cause something important to happen. In many works of literature, the writer
Natsuo, the main character in Mori Yoko’s Spring Storm discusses a married Asian couple immersed in the world of theater art. Natsuo is an aspiring actress, while Yasuke is a hopeful playwright. Natsuo auditions for a role in a play that is not her husband’s work, a part that she believes is impossible to achieve. When she lands the role, she comes home to her husband but lies to him about it. There are many possible motives for why she would lie about something as exciting as this. It could take a devastating toll on her marriage that Natsuo is not ready to accept. I firmly believe that says she does not get the role because she chooses to play the role of a devoted wife to Yasuke instead of accepting her dead marriage.
dedication and diligence she took in being a good student from elementary through high school.
The author also tries to add the sense of hopelessness when Dr.Sasaki, the only uninjured doctor began to rush to help the injured. “Dr. Sasaki worked without method,taking those who were nearest him first and he noticed that the corridor seemed to be getting more and more crowded...he decided that all he could hope to do was to stop people from bleeding to death” (Hersey 25). Under the circumstances, Dr.Sasaki begins to realize that there were not enough doctors and nurses because they too were affected by the noiseless flash. He realizes only the people who were injured not as severely can be saved while the seriously injured were left to die. This makes the readers want to feel sympathy towards the Hiroshima citizens.
When she was assigned to Helen she didn't want to be involved with the required task. She didn't like being around people with significant disabilties.She didn't resonate with Helen and was more intrested in gossiping. I think near the end of the story empathy was being shown, the workers were being more open to understanding Helen when the perfume was sprayed and she had joy from the smell. Both the workers realized thar Helen was a person just with different needs. They were more open to understanding what the world is like for that
