The Alchemist is a wonderful fiction novel by Paulo Coelho. The novella, published in 1988, is a huge success, selling over 150 million copies and making it to the top charts. (addicted2success) . Coelho succeeds in delivering his message smoothly and innovatively throughout the story; one should forever live to pursue his personal legend and never give up on his dream. (Coelho). The monomyth applies to the main character of the novella, Santiago, a young Shepard with enough passion and will to uncover

“My father said a person can be educated and still be stupid, and a wise man can have no education at all” (ch. 6) is a quote from the book The false Prince, by Jennifer A. Nielsen. I think this quote connects to the characters through representing the differences in Tobias, Roden and Sage, through reflecting Conner’s personality and plan and through describing Verldegrath and his plans for Carthya’s future. The quotes shows and represents the relationship between Tobias, Roden and Sage. From all

and “The Queen Bee and Her Court,” by Rosalina Wiseman discuss the positive and negative effects of peer pressure. Both, Vedantam and Wiseman conduct research and experiments to prove their points about how peer pressure can have an impact on people’s life. Wiseman describes how cliques have a negative consequence on the people in the group and outside the group. In her article, she presents a description and the order in the “popular” groups. Wiseman explains that these girls always victimize a

I am not a critic. While I do mentally analyze and evaluate the works that I read, watch, or play, I am not one to needlessly pick at pin-sized plot holes (Alliteration) in a story or obnoxiously point out discontinuities between episodes. With this notion held forthright in mind, I can safely say that I have immensely enjoyed what I have read of Patrick Rothfuss’s The Wise Man’s Fear, the second volume in the Kingkiller Chronicle trilogy. Currently, the protagonist Kvothe is attempting to illegally

“Jawohl, Herr Obersturmbannführer,” answered Walther. He showed Horst the Worst and Mother Maria Pfenning a copy of the papers, which, not only did it came with the letter and a vaguely brief description of his duty station, but it also included a map detailing the location of his personal living quarters. “That makes sense. Permission to go to my living quarters, Herr Obersturmbannführer?” “Permission accepted, Herr Schäffer,” responded Horst. “Have a safe and fine day here.” “Likewise,” said

The Yellow Wallpaper as a Guide To Insanity    "There comes John, and I must put this away- he hates to have me write a word" (p659). As evident by the above quote, Gilman places the narrator of "The Yellow Wallpaper" as secluded as she could be; she is placed in a large house, surrounded only by her husband and by little help (Jennie), when it is unfortunately clear that her relationship with her husband is based on distance and misunderstanding: "It is so hard to talk with John about my

Response to Literature: The Wanderer The Wander is an Elegy-style poem that depicts the suffering, exile, and memoirs of an anonymous narrator who refers to himself differently according to what part of his life he is sharing; a "Lone-dweller", an "Earth-stepper", and the "wise man and the Warrior". Although, there is still a lot of debate on whether or not there was only one narrator throughout the poem. The Wanderer is believed to have been created around the 5th or 6th century, being

Characterisation is hugely important to a plot just for it to make some sort of sense. The characterisation of key figures in the plot, however, has huge significance as it helps you to understand why the characters perform certain, (often unthinkable,) actions. If we only have one dimensional characters described to us then we are unable to immerse ourselves into a highly complex plot. Intense characterisation makes us form connections with key figures and actually empathise with some of them, especially

1. “Quisque,” inquit, “semper putat suas res esse magnas.” “Each person,” he says, “always thinks that his own affairs (circumstances) are important.” (The ind. state. could here be translated more lit., “considers his own affairs to be important.”) 2. Postea audivimus servos donorum causa laboravisse, ut milites fideles heri narraverant. Afterwards we heard that the slaves had worked for the sake of gifts (benefits), as the loyal soldiers had reported (told us) yesterday. (The perf. inf.

Stargirl was another fantastic book Jerry Spinelli. He added interesting characters, such as, Leo the quiet and shy one, Stargirl unique and fun one, Dori Dilson Stargirl only friend, Archie the wise and elderly one, Kevin Leo’s friend that likes the stoplight, and Hillari Kimble the popular bratty one. This book takes place in MICA, Arizona. Now, in paragraph one I will discuss the plot of Stargirl. Next, I will talk about the theme in Stargirl. Finally, I will evaluate Jerry Spinelli`s job on
