Caroline Jones: A Short Story
“I didn’t mean to kill her,” I told myself, looking gravely in the mirror. I wanted to believe these words but the dull, bloodshot eyes staring back at me said otherwise. I grasped the sides of the sink even harder, looking down, not wanting to see the monster I’ve made of myself. Pushing my hands off the sink with great force, I eventually stood up straight and walked out of the bathroom. As I walked down the hallways’ twisting and turning with no end, the floorboards creaked loudly as if in pain. Her name was Caroline. Caroline Jones. We used to be best friends our sophomore year of highschool, but recent events have taken a turn.
I was driving down Meadow Lane while laughing with my best friend, Caroline.
“Okay...Okay,” she said

    • 9 Pages

    The author who brought to us The Tale of Genji, a novel now regarded as the first written novel in history, left behind an arguably more treasurable artifact: a diary that opens a window into history. The Diary of Lady Murasaki by Lady Murasaki Shikibu gives the reader a glimpse of the imperial court during eleventh century Japan and presents the past in an illuminated vision. Being an attendant in the imperial court, Lady Murasaki is frequently involved with the activities of elite Japanese women. Her day-to-day interaction with the nobles and elites enhance her account with the curious perspective of an elite female. As a woman, Lady Murasaki's descriptions are oriented around clothing and appearance, and add a female touch to this historical record.

Her added insights create an illuminated vision that allows the reader to feel what it is like to be an inhabitant of the Heian court and to acquire a better understanding of the historical events within the era.…

    “Never judge a book by its cover.” This is probably one of the earliest lessons we are taught on the theme appearance versus reality. It means that what appears to be may not actually be what it really is. The theme of appearance vs. reality is one of the major themes in “Daisy Miller: A Study.” One of the most significant scenes in Henry James’s “Daisy Miller: A Study” is the Colosseum scene. This scene is important for a few reasons, one of them being that it is the last time that Daisy Miller and Mr. Winterbourne will see each other. Henry James uses this scene to addresses the theme of appearance vs. reality. The theme is explored in the Colosseum scene through the different characters: Mr. Winterbourne, Daisy Miller, and Mr. Giovanelli. Through the exploration of the theme, Henry James believes that this theme is on a human level and many people try to appear one way when in reality they are really another way.…
