Similar to every character in any given work of literature, the grandmother from “A Good Man is Hard to Find,” had several attributes, both pleasing and vexatious. Of all her many qualities, I greatly valued her ability to consistently speak her mind, even in the face of danger. Never was she shy to give way to her true emotions and allow those around her to view her perspective on the events occurring within her life, a rarity in today’s society. Additionally, it was made obvious how deeply she

The day that my son Bailey dropped of his two children to be raised by me and my crippled brother Willie was a Tuesday. The store had been busier than usual. The Blinker family had come by early in the morning and bought all there food for the week. Mrs. Blinker said they didn't come Monday which was their usual day because little Tessy Blinker had her fifth birthday and they had a some sort of a celebration for the child's special day. When Baileys rusty old beaten station wagon pulled up, the

The living conditions were horrible. Not only were many people sick and hungry, but we couldn't leave to search for medicine or food. We had curfews, SS guards, and barbed wire that encircled us making certain that we stayed on our side. My family and I lived there and suffered for a long time until I discovered

paranoia, Iffy displays attention deficit disorder, and Joe shows developmental instability. I Am Sam incorporates many degrees of psychology including symptoms of major and minor disorders and how these people cope with life. The film is appropriate for psychology because it shows how people with mental disorders live and the challenges that they face for being different. I am Sam has characters that have disorders due to genetics and developmental issues; however it shows the viewer how the brain

How does Samuel present strong feelings in Evelyn and Helga’s relationship? Kindertransport, a modern classic by Diane Samuels, cleverly illustrates the mechanisms of a mother/daughter relationship alongside themes of post-modernism, feminism and identity. Nine months before the outbreak of WWII, 10 000 unaccompanied Jewish children were sent to England as a precautionary measure due to the Kristallnacht. One of them was Eva, daughter of Helga, sent unwillingly because of her mother’s wishes to keep

“Oh, no,” one of the boys groaned as he stopped in his tracks. “What is it, Jeremy? the second boy asked. “It’s the Haunted Mansion, Dave,” the boy named Jeremy whispered nervously. A few houses from where they stood was the house that many people called “The Haunted Mansion”. They knew that it wasn’t really haunted, but it was hard to tell when you looked at it. The old fashioned brick house seemed ready to topple over at any moment. The large yard was overrun with weeds. The windows and doors

I always knew that one day, my worst fear would be realized....yet when it did come, I was no where near ready to accept it. I understand psychologically that every one and every animal dies... that's life. But, the heart only feels loss and pain when someone to whom you have given your life to, dies. I say someone as though I'm speaking about a person, but, I speak of Gizzy, my 13 year old adorable long-haired Chihuahua, who to me, was every bit as much a fun-loving, heart-beating, personality-filled

He couldn’t see anything. A hand crept upon his. She was by his side, screaming his name as she shook his body intensely. His ears rang as his skin was burning. He fell. She got him out. He went down with the lava. He promised his sister he’d reach her and take her back. He failed... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ His feet were tired from walking as he came home from school. This “he” was Ethiquilo (known as Ethiq for his “logic”), a sporty boy with nothing special than a house that was six miles away

Turning over in bed, I blinked sleepily at the clock next to me. It read 2:37 am. I stumbled out of bed and made my way towards my bedroom door. The sound of squeaking hinges could be heard as I slowly pulled open the door. My footsteps were drowned out by the sound of a voice coming from down the hall. A faint light was coming from the small gap beneath my brother’s door. Being the curious nine year old little girl I was, I turned and started walking towards my brother’s room. I felt both nervous

and different changes. Throughout The Book Thief by Markus Zusak we see a girls story during the time of WW2 and the Holocaust. We read this story of Liesel Meminger and wonder how anyone could ever survive during a time like this, because for most people this was an extremely awful time to live in. But through his use of imagery, and other literary devices, Zukas found a way to write a perfect book describing this girl's life and to show how genuinely hard it was to live during this time. One of
