Spot The Dog By Ernest Hemingway
Ernest Hemingway is the author of the Spot the Dog Novels. Well, that is a bit inaccurate. The real author is Eric Hill. However, a rogue edit on Wikipedia changed the information to portray Hemingway as the real writer of the much beloved Spot the Dog Novels that are aimed primarily at kids. The good news is that Wikipedia editors quickly noticed the inaccurate edits and they were undone. No longer was Spot the Dog a whiskey drinker that liked to light up smokes and muse his problems in a bar. The fact is that this was not the first occasion that gave rise to someone vandalizing this page. The Spot the Dog page is a favorite vandalize.

    Instinct In Night By Elie Wiesel

    Survivors of tragedies are often attacked by the media for saving themselves instead of the others. They say that if there is a chance to save them, it’s well worth it to risk your own life to try and save others, even if there is a low possibility of either of your surviving. To some, that belief makes sense. But to others, it’s seen as adding salt to the wound, where the survivor already feels internal guilt. Though saving others is the moral thing to do, in trying times, survival is not selfish. In high-stress environments, people may not know how to react, giving one and whoever they are trying to save added difficulty in their survival. Self- preservation is also an instinct. Instincts are uncontrollable, and therefore should not be shamed…

    The Road by Cormac Mccarthy

    The Road by Cormac Mccarthy

    The Road by Cormac McCarthy is a novel set in a post-apocalyptic world following the path of a Father and Son. McCarthy is a highly celebrated award-winning author. He is 78 years old and has an 8-year-old son – an uncommon circumstance – underlining that for him, death is imminent and prompting him to consider the ideas discussed in his novel. In The Road, the father is undergoing a crisis of faith and so adopts an Existentialist view and creates meaning through his son – who therefore influences many of his actions. I found McCarthy’s use of techniques such as juxtaposition and antithesis that counter the macabre images throughout the book with those of love between the father and Son both repulsive and fascinating at the same time.…

    The Road - Cormac Mccarthy

    Imagine a desolate and dismal world that deteriorated with scarce supplies of food and shelter and there is only a few survivors left--including yourself and one of your family members. In hopes of survival, what measures would you take? Would you go to the extreme by cannibalism or committing suicide? On the other hand, would you choose to be on an ethical route by grasping on life delicately? In the midst of the unflinching and empty world with virtually no hope, the father and son in the novel, The Road by Cormac McCarthy, choose to be the “good guys” by staying alive and refraining from cannibalism and thievery. They tried desperately to remain alive by roaming as nomads looking for shelter, edible foods, and avoiding the “bad guys” from preying on them for food. The unconditional love between the father and son sustained their struggle to live and try to stay ethical as possible.…

    The Lowest Animal by Mark Twain

    The statement that can best be made about the purpose of The Lowest Animal by Mark Twain is that he believes that mankind is immoral, vulgar, wasteful, vengeful, discriminatory; cruel, greed, and obscene. This is because he has a moral sense and conscience despite this, doesn’t make our decisions right and properly. However, contrast with Mark Twain’s thesis; I think human beings are not that all bad and not the lowest animal, but perhaps not the highest animal either.…
