In John Steinbeck’s The Winter of Our Discontent, the quest for the American dream consumes the mindset of the citizens of New Baytown.

The conflict between the craving of affluence and an obligation to fit into the society’s moral standards drives Ethan, his devoted wife

“Looking But Not Seeing” The title of the story “Cathedral” by Raymond Carver is a far cry from the themes that run through the story. Naturally, one would expect the story to centre on worship but it does not only mentioning it in passing. Admittedly, one of the themes that clearly come out of the story is an apparent blindness of the narrator who though physically had sight could not see the deeper things in life. On the other hand, Robert, the physically blind man was very insightful able to appreciate

I took a 360 trying to see the entirety of Boston from my position in front of a massive statue of our nation’s first president. The skyline of Boston’s financial district sat behind George Washington’s statue in the Boston Public Garden. This park is the oldest botanical garden in the USA, and it looked it, but not tarnished.

The Litigator got what he wanted. A copper-tinted key that appealed small in his palms, yet was as heavy as a stone. While looking at an unmarked gravestone, another man bled eternally in the six foot hole. Despite the man’s dedication to not move his palm from the wound, most of the blood had flown out of his body and into the soil. Taking a look at the man in the grave, the Litigator caressed the left side of his stubble with the tip of his index finger. Drips of precipitation occasionally interrupted

Layers of Lies I can see that the truth is a mirage. To put it simply, there is a real truth between hundreds of layers of manufactured truth. The truth I may know at a moment in time will be altered if a second point of view is added to my truth; the truth is therefore an illusion.

Animal Frontiers in the Arabian Nights, A Reflection of Changes in Hierarchies and Effective Storytelling The concept of digression is explored and mastered by Shahrazad throughout the sets of stories that comprise The Arabian Nights. Unlike the stories of Jaques and his Master, in Jaques the Fatalist, where digression plays well in a journey without a specific purpose, the stories of Shahrazad and her use of digression has a clear objective. The main character of The Arabian Nights, Shahrazad

Anyone who has read Raymond Carvers “Cathedral” knows that the narrator is not looking forward or welcoming his guest into his home. Also, he is not being very sympathetic of what this man’s condition that he lives with is, being blind. The Narrator must learn to be more sympathetic in his life, and should learn from this experience, with this older bling man. Raymond Carver uses his narrator non-sympathetic ways effectively throughout the story, developing of the narrator from the beginning to the

His poems deal with familiar native scenes. He uses simple words from the plain language of every-day life.

Poems like ‘Home Burial’, ‘The Death of the
