    Ray, Robert B. “The Thematic Paradigm.” Signs of Life in the USA. ed. Sonia Maasik and Jack Solomon. Boston. Bedford/St. Martins. 2012. 377-386. Print.

    One appeal of the outlaw hero is they appear eternally youthful. ‘The attractiveness of the outlaw hero’s childishness and propensity to whims, tantrums, and emotional decisions derived from America’s cult of childhood (378).” Children often are the catalyst in the outlaw hero stories and are often outlaw hero’s themselves. The outlaw hero is often immature and quick to react without thinking, much as a child would. The official hero on the other hand is portrayed much more maturely. They have “the best…

    The Luck Of Roaring Camp Kentuck Quotes

    The Luck Of Roaring Camp Kentuck Quotes

    The camp is a dirty “city of refuge”, where the men do not bathe, use profanity constantly, and are indebted to companies outside of their camp (Harte 1483). When Stumpy enters the story it is stated “that Roaring Camp—a city of refuge—was indebted to his company.” the men of Roaring Camp are described as “roughs” because of their missing digits, and Kentuck described as a “prominent citizen” (1483). Being a prominent citizen in camp that is seen as a “refuge”, and contains men that are all described as “reckless” and criminals does not reflect positive character traits in Kentuck. The author molds Kentuck at the beginning of the story to seem like another one of the men who may be a refuge from the law, a criminal, or a man hiding from a dark past. This characterization sets Kentuck up to be a character who is deeply flawed. The camp is described as not being fazed by murders and the only woman to frequent the camp is an Indian prostitute. The first lines of “The Luck of Roaring Camp” describe how a fight would not cause a commotion and “had contributed its gamblers, who, it will be remembered, calmly continued their game that day French Pete and Kanaka Joe shot each other to death” (1482). The atmosphere of Roaring Camp highlights Kentuck’s flaws, as he is one of these men who is not fazed by a fight breaking out and would not be surprised if two men killed each other. The…

    Common Themes in “A Raisin in the Sun” and “Black Like Me”

    Another aspect that both movies have in common is that they are much more true when it comes to showing the reality of African Americans in the 50s and 60s. The scenes where the journalist travels through hitchhiking are very intense because they show the attitude of white men towards black men, their perverse fascination over the subject of Afro American men lust after “their” women. It unmistakably pictures how they…

    The similarities are that both these stories are that both these people are from Native American tribes, the Laguna and Kiowa. These cultures have beliefs that they practice and value. Both these stories consist of death and grandchildren honoring their grandparents. They both make you sad and show how different cultures feel about death.

    Skunk Hour by Robert Lowell and The Armadillo by Elizabeth Bishop are very similar poems. The two poems have the theme and title of an animal. One of the contrasts that I could pick out between the two poems is: The Armadillo depicts a creature who cannot understand the events destroying its life, whereas the speaker in Skunk Hour recognizes the events affecting its life.…

    The first story I’m comparing is “The Drummer Boy of Shiloh” and it is about a young drummer boy named Joby (around 14 years old) who is camping with soldiers in a field near to Shiloh. He is afraid of marching into battle with no weapons but his drum and his drumsticks. Joby is afraid of dying and just as he starts to lose hope, a general comes up to him and re-motivates him. He explains to Joby how important a drummer boy’s job is and helps him calm down and become braver than he was before.…

    Beware of the Dog

    The plot constructions of the short stories are based on similar concepts and are designed to demonstrate problems faced in war. Both main characters are members of an armed force, pitted against a known enemy, and nothing is quite as it may seem at first. Both men are injured by the enemy, and they must save themselves. It is only minor differences that set the plots apart. For example, in "Beware of the Dog," Peter, a fighter pilot, loses a leg, ends up being captured, and must concede himself to fate. In "The Sniper," the main character is sniper who injures him arm, triumphs over the other sniper, and eventually must live with the fact that he has killed his own brother. The two plotlines focus not only on the war struggle but also on the differing end results of those struggles through irony.…
