Simultaneous Futures: The Role of Time in “The Garden of the Forking Paths” In “The Garden of the Forking Paths” by Jorge Luis Borges, Stephen Albert is studying the work of Tsʹui Pên. His work is not only a book, but also a labyrinth. Many people think that the book and the labyrinth are two different things, but Stephen Albert has a different theory; it is the theory of a never-ending book. It is never-ending because Tsʹui Pên has chosen all possible futures simultaneously. Tsʹui Pên has written

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 Devils Highway By Luis Urrea The book The Devil’s Highway by Luis Urrea is based on a true story. It tells the tragic story of a group of Mexican immigrants who try to cross the U.S border. Although many Mexicans have died in the desert trying to cross the border previously with this particular story is unique in that it was such a large group that traveled and so many of them died. The title of the book “Devils Highway” is the name of the part of the desert these

There are different ways in which a person is able to get a story in modern times. There are books and films in which people rely on getting their stories whether it’s real or fiction. Some people prefer to read books, others prefer to sit and watch the intensity of what a film brings out of a story. The question is what is better? What is it that people prefer the most and why? My guess is that most people prefer to watch a film instead of reading a book but that is just my opinion seeing that each

The “House of Asterion” is a marvel. The concepts, writing style, and use of literary devices all pay tribute to Jorge Borges’s skill as a writer. “The House of Asterion” has many points that prompt an in-depth literary discussion. At first glance at this written work, the reader may see some obvious themes. The story is basically a different perspective on the Minotaur myth, it explores the extreme loneliness the main character, Asterion, feels, and it challenges common roles of “good against evil

Part A: Question How is justice OR judgment addressed in ONE of the primary texts from the drama module? Christopher Marlowe’s ‘Doctor Faustus’ is found to be both a Christian morality and a classical tragedy. Whilst the drama leans towards the Christian message of avoiding sin and repentance, towards the end it sways more towards a tragedy as Faustus is eventually damned to hell. Therefore, the theme of judgement is exemplified from a religious perspective. Also, Faustus appears to be somewhat

Stevens. Postmodernism, on the other hand, emphasized the rejection of metanarratives, healthy skepticism of universalisms, and the creation of fictional worlds. The influential literary titans from this era include the likes of Kurt Vonnegut, Jorge Luis Borges, and Vladimir Nabokov. During the modernist era, the rise of nationalism and global expansion exploded across the globe. Nationalist ideals began to take hold across Europe and tensions increased as each country attempt to showcase its own

discussed the presence of a polarity of sorts in some of the texts we have read, Johnson’s attention to the term, emerging from Spitzer’s essay, has prompted my thinking towards not just the presence, but the development of this concept throughout. In Luis de Góngora’s Soledades, we see violent contrasts of the ascendant and the degrading vision. Sor Juana’s Primero sueño takes us on a voyage of the soul that escapes the body, and on a voyage of the internal universe of the body that seems to facilitate

Interesting Title A key possesses as many definitions as the number of cuts it has. “A Key in Salonika” is a sonnet composed by Jorge Luis Borges that presents the reader with three keys. All serve to symbolize the reaction of the Jewish community to three different events. Even though the speaker relays to us a series of stanzas adorned by literary devices and words, the reader must keep in mind the degree to which this speaker is feeding to us an effective representation of the historical events

The Art of Being Ambiguous In his collection of short stories, Ficciones, Jorge Luis Borges uses dreams, imagination and fantasy to establish ambiguity in his stories. With the use of juxtaposition and symbols, Borges blends a realm of dreams and imagination into the individual’s everyday worldly experiences. Through these devices, Borges commonly blurs the line between aspects of reality for his characters versus the constructs of his or her mind. By combining the real with the fictitious, Borges
