    In the essay “Variations on Grief”, author Meghan Daum losses a childhood friend unexpectedly. Brian Peterson’s passing had a seemingly small emotional effect on Daum. In fact, she doesn’t even feel the need to cry or be saddened by the sudden loss. Daum goes against the norm of how you’d think one would grieve a close friend. Instead of mourning she “decided to create an ironic occurrence rather than a tragedy” (Daum 157). She goes on with her life as if nothing happens. Daum even begins to lie about the events surrounding Brian’s death. She says that the lies are to help the Petersons cope. For instance, Daum was dishonest about Brian’s commitment to becoming a successful writer. In a way, she also lied about his death. She wouldn’t speak…

    There was a lot of rich literary material written by Maxine Kingston in China men but I think On Mortality is one of the most interesting stories I have ever read because it’s so short, yet so adventurous, so rich in plot, characters and scenery. The story is a about an ancient character named Tu Tzu-chun who supposedly lived during the Chou and Sui dynasties. Tu was in debt to a Taoist Monk that gave him wealth a couple of times over several lifetimes. Tu used his money for charity by housing and taking care of the poor, the widowed and the orphaned. In a sense he was a guy driven by high morals. In the end not only did Tu end up suffering for doing a great deed, but is also blamed for ruining the making of elixir of the human race. The…

    After Queenie finally received Arthur’s autopsy results, it was concluded that he died from a wound on the head and that he had been drunk. Queenie possibly saw her chance to try and make it seem like Arthur fell down the stairs, when she actually hit him on the head with an object and placed him at the end of the stairs. Another theory is she could have pushed him down the stairs and he possibly hit his head while coming down the stairs.…

    When hearing the words “Marie Antoinette”, the first thing that may come to one’s mind is “France’s last queen” or “The cause of the French Revolution”. However, this illustrious eighteenth-century queen, as described by Antonia Fraser, was much more than just another monarch. Her external as well as internal struggles proved to be iconic, and her personality is very misunderstood in modern times. This biography on Marie Antoinette’s journey proved to be very enlightening in terms of what life was like in eighteenth-century Europe. Nevertheless, the book gave much insight on her personality as well as how misunderstood she was.…
