The three authors Jorge Luis Borges, Scott Russell Sanders, and E.B White all have different stories yet somehow they tie together. Borges’ “The Keeper of the Books”, Sanders’ “The Men We Carry in Our Minds” and White’s “Once More to the Lake” all touch upon perception throughout their stories. Their perceptions thoroughly shape their stories, but their memories also influence and shadow their perception as well. Throughout this essay I hope to prove how memories influence and tie together with our

The opening and closing scenes of the short story “The South” in the book Ficciones by Jorge Luis Borges have a large degree of influence on the way the reader experiences the story itself. The opening scene, for example, very much sets the tone and foreshadows future event in the story through an introductory description of the character of Dahlmann and his background.

One big idea in Jorge Luis Borges’, “Book of Sand,” is the obsession with the idea of infiniteness. It is one of the apparent ways that Borges uses magical realism to convey this idea.

Another example, “The stranger asked me to find the first page...it was useless...again I failed

Since conflict is made up of individuals with their own perceptions it only makes sense that there lie different paths that conflict can take. Some of the different paths that are destructive in nature are the “escalatory spiral” (Hocker & Wilmot 29) and “avoidance spiral” (Hocker & Wilmot 32). These spirals are made up of not only speech but physical actions that mean to damage another or seek to lessen the relationship between themselves. It is important to recognize what type of conflict spiral

Children desire for everything: friends, jewelry, clothes, toys, electronics, and much more; if I were to continue this list it would become infinite.

Everyone faces choices in life on a daily basis. You decide what you want to eat in the morning and if you wear pants or shorts that day. Everything is a choice, however, no one can tell how each path will turn out, so saying the road less taken is the better choice has no evidence and is a useless statement. In his poem “The Road Not Taken,” Robert Frost gives thought about taking the road less traveled and how it has made a difference in his life, however each road is actually equal in taking and
