    A summer reading novel serves a vital role to stimulate a student's mind over the break. Therefore, an assignment of such importance should include a book that not only captivates the reader but also forces them to think. Although Fahrenheit 451 and Cannery Row both have advantages, Mrs. Fleek Airne should not change the summer reading assignment to Cannery Row. The connection to the modern world, challenging writing style of Ray Bradbury, and relatable characters far surpass the positive aspects of its counterpart.…

    Classic American literature is often distinguishable by how well the pieces of writing sum up the era. For example, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby is credited with being one of the best novels written about the “Roaring Twenties” and its seemingly never ending prosperity that was abruptly followed by the Great Depression. When reading an expertly crafted piece of American literature, readers…

    Joyce Carol Oates wrote, “reading is the sole means by which we slip, involuntarily, often helplessly, into another’s skin, another’s voice, another’s soul.” This quote more or less sums up the sole main purpose of why many people read fiction. The reasons why a reader likes or dislikes a work of fiction may seem to be random, or even shallow, such as its ability to grab attention or keep a reader hooked with on stereotypical drama. However, when a work is actually examined further, deeper levels of understanding can be discovered. There are always conscious decisions made by authors of fiction in order to captivate the reader, in connecting to help them to connect to the characters, being intrigued to create intrigue by the narration itself, and being romanced to romance them by the style of writing. By reacting to these conscious artistic decisions, a reader can decide whether or not they are emotionally pierced or struck by a specific work. One way this attachment is achieved by the author is by creating an archetype, or something that many people can recognize or relate to. This can be in the ‘type’ of fiction the novel or story falls into, or the characteristics one can notice in a stereotypical character type. (Question: Why would an author want to mask real meaning in something that repels reader?) When this recognized archetype is looked at initially, or on a surface level, it can cause a bad negative reaction in the reader. ; Archetypes are very likely to result in a dismissal of the story because the reader feels that they have already ‘been there, read that.’ They are repelled by the work due to its boring nature and repetition. This makes it all the more powerful when an author can use the illusion of archetypes to mask the deeper meaning of a story or depth of a character. When they are looked at in further detail, and examined very more closely, certain illusions of an archetype created intentionally by the author can be very useful. By breaking…

    The Modern Age of British Literature was in some ways a rebellion against the Victorian ideals of extravagance, a perspective brought on by the harsh reality of World War I. The scarcity of resources combined with stark images of the war influenced writers to condemn the aristocracy for their excessive self-indulgence. In DH Lawrence’s “The Rocking Horse Winner” his hatred for the English people’s materialism is conveyed through the death of an innocent child.…

    Morrie Schwartz was a great man. He was a man who searched for and found contentment in life by enjoying each moment to its fullest. He was my beloved husband and father of my two sons Rob and Jon. We will never forget his kindness, his compassion, and his love towards others. Through his guidance and wisdom; he has helped others figure out the meaning of life for themselves. Morrie has impacted me in a great way, and probably has to the rest of you. He has taught me peace, forgiveness, love, and compassion. I couldn’t have done it without him. He helped me build a strong family foundation filled with giving, receiving, love and affections. Most kids these days are shy of their parents, but not our family. Our family is quite the opposite because of Morrie. I have learnt a great many lessons from Morrie, and I’m sure a lot of these lessons you have learned as well. There are some important lessons I would like to share with all of you today, that Morrie would have liked me to say. First is his family. Morrie once said “If I was divorced, or living alone and had no children. This disease would be so much harder to get through. Sure people would come and visit, like friends and associates but it’s not the same as having someone who will not leave. Someone you know who is watching you, someone you know who truly loves you”. If I never had been taught that lesson, I wouldn’t be cherishing my family as much as I do today. One last great lesson Morrie has probably taught us all is “love goes on”. Morrie always said that when you die, your relationships you had on earth never dies. Your body leaves but people will always still have you in their hearts. Morrie will live on through all of us. I don’t,…

    In the article “A royal salute to the Commonwealth” by Peter Oborne, which serves as a personal commentary on how the British Duke and Duchess visits Canada, he is very content on pointing out that it is important for UK to maintain a good relationship to the other Commonwealth-countries - partly because these countries have a joint history and partly share various values. Lastly, Oborne sees the Commonwealth as the future while the US and European Union will face crisis in the near future.…
