    The attempt at recapturing the past is important in plays, poems, and especially novels. In Toni Morrison’s Beloved, the character Sethe views the past with feelings of longing because she was a former slave who endured a tough life.

    Writers of modern stories are interested in portraying life. Often, in their stories, we get ideas and find the chance to see, examine, and question ourselves. For example, in James Joyce’s “Eveline,” we observe how fear of the unknown affects a young woman’s future; In Richard Wright’s “The Man Who was Almost a Man,” we see how a young boy’s inability to accept moral responsibilities impacts his life, too. “How would we handle their challenges?” Who is the stronger individual? The answer lies within.…

    It is easy to notice a similarity on the surface of two things that look alike, but when two stories are completely different in their content, it is not easy to detect a similarity. For instance, after we read for the first time “The Necklace” by Guy De Maupassant and “A Good Man Is Hard to Find” by Mary Flannery O’Connor, we cannot connect these two tragedies together. Both were written in a different time by different authors, and they end in a different way. However, if we study deeply both stories, we can find their similarities even though their contexts are different. Although “The Necklace” and “A Good Man Is Hard to Find” are different tragedies, both of them focus on their main characters that suffer from pride, are manipulative, and change during the story.…

Everything you knew to be true (you were standing in your favorite room of your house, comfortable and unguarded) was suddenly gone; when you land, everything you see is different. Would you feel a loss? Within the works of The Things They Carried, Girl, Interrupted, and “Letter from Marion Kempner”, the characters experience loss in several ways. The central theme in these three works is a sense of loss.…

    The book “The Year We Disappeared” earned number one best seller on amazon’s nonfiction list. This format works well, as we see the same chronology seen through different eyes: the rage and pain of the father, and the confusion and dismay of his young daughter. As with much of her writings this book also seems to relate back to a story of survival and eventual triumph over life changing setbacks. In the book Blink Once that I am currently reading by the author Busby, there is a theme developed that everyone needs a friend who understands what they are going through. It makes me wonder that when Busby’s family had to go to hiding for several years, if the thought of having no one to share her experience with might have influenced the meaning behind this current reading. Busby explains, “It’s hard to believe the old saying that “things happen for a reason” when the things happening to you are god-awful and you just want them to be over with. No matter how I looked at it, I just couldn’t wrap my head around the idea that this had happened for some reason that made any sense.”…
