The Stories Of Eva Luna By Isabelle Allende: Literary Analysis
In The Stories of Eva Luna by Isabelle Allende, throughout several of the stories the readers get to read about several topics that are brought up to the readers on purpose to make it known that although these are stories they are metaphorically represented to be events that do occur in real life. One main thing done by the author is the continuous mentioning of taboo themes that are specifically brought up in several stories in the book. Many people of which don’t completely understand it and are gullible in the sense they may see it as taboo but also something to be endeared in a way because its “love”. In both of Allende’s stories “Wicked Girl” and “Ester Lucero” both the theme of immorality can be tied to one another. Two individual stories

    Heda Margolius Kovaly: A Literary Analysis

    Heda Margolius Kovaly’s Under A Cruel Star is a captivating memoir that provides historical accounts during the time period when Czechoslovakia was under Nazi control and faced with Stalinism. Kovaly gives her personal first hand accounts on experiences in concentration camps, post-war struggles, and the life that she lived while under Communism. Contrasting with Under A Cruel Star, John Merriman’s A History of Modern Europe uses clear and concise mundane facts to provide the accounts of history during this era. Presenting history in a memoir makes the read effortless and alluring but it also takes away some of the factual significance that the textbook offers. History presented in this form differs from accounts during this time era written…

    Like Water For Chocolate By Laura Esquivel: Literary Analysis

    Isabel Allende and Laura Esquivel both utilize similar themes in the books The House of Spirits and Like Water for Chocolate, respectively. Loss of innocence and the corruption of man are a couple of the most significant themes found in both books. These themes are shown in the characters of the book after violence or sex and such things like that. Because there are recurring acts of violence and sex found within both The House of Spirits and Like Water for Chocolate, there are the themes of a loss of innocence and the corruption of man, since the characters in both stories lose their innocence and/or become corrupt after experiencing or witnessing violent and/or sexual actions. Throughout these books, these themes are constantly arising and are…

    Short Summary Of Junot Diaz's

    Though the story is subjective, it also questions the mind of the reader in terms of critical thought. Diaz highlights how an person is reduced to just social class and race and by doing so asking a question relating to the authority or accuracy of the decrease of social beings. Though the story is subjective, it also questions the mind of the reader in terms of critical thought. The story fails on the moral side as it gives inferences on physical emotions and sexual relations. An curious reader should consider the ways a person manipulates their appearances within all the contexts that the writer discusses. A reader should also review own beliefs on expectations, stereotypes, biases and social and racial divisions in the determination of…

    Comparing The Beast In The Jungle And The Yellow Wallpaper

    Most of the literary works we have discussed in class are so distinctive from each other, yet so similar. In "The Yellow Wallpaper" and "The Beast in the Jungle" we see how symbols are used to portray and dramatize the theme of the story. We also learned how women were treated, or "expected" to act, in works such as "The Yellow Wallpaper", "The Beast in the Jungle", and "My Contraband", which then leads to the subject of miscegenation. We also see miscegenation used in most of Chesnutt's works and in "Desiree's baby" by Chopin.…

    Luna T.: A Short Story

    When Cynthia wakes up this morning, the first thing she does, like always, is to look at herself in the mirror. This has been the first step in her morning rituals for as long as she remembers. Every morning, she would inspect her face minutely, carefully observing every little imperfection. She would note with despair the slight asymmetry of the corners of her eyes, the minute flare of her nostrils, all the spots on her skin that has become faintly discolored with the corrosion of sunlight. After spending ten minutes or so looking herself over, she would take from her endless collection of lotions and cremes and fountains and concealers, until her face has the perfection of a doll. This morning, however, this routine is interrupted.…

    A Short Story Of Lina

    The family benefits from Lina’s mother’s calmness by not having to worry as much. They were able to stay calm and pack up their belongings. Their mother’s calmness also prevents them from becoming scared. They did what the officers told them instead of rebelling. Yes, I consider Lina’s mother breaking the dishes an act of rebellion. She knew what they were going to do with the dishes if she did not break them. She loved her dishes and didn’t want the Nazi’s to use, sell, or profit from them. In my opinion, her reaction is appropriate. The Nazi’s did nothing to earn those items. She had the right to do break the dishes because they were coming to take away her and her family. She is trying to control the situation by breaking her china instead…

    'Luna': A Literary Analysis

    What I love about “Luna” is it's one of its first narratives of it’s time written for young adults. It includes in my opinion one of the best literary explanations of what it’s like to be transgender, (““It's horrible because you want to be this person you are in here, “ I pressed my heart, “and here”. I touched my temple. “But you can’t because you don’t look the way you should. You look like a guy. And that’s what people expect you to be. Every day you have to put on this act, play a role, and the only time you can ever be freeis when you’re alone, when nobody's watching and you can let yourself go”” (pg. 191-192)). It truly shows the evolution of queer literature over time because of relatable content yet outdated language.…

    Esperanza is not a significant supporter of the gender positions that continue to keep women in her neighborhood demoralized. The men on Mango Street abuse not only their wives but also their daughters and imprison them in the home. Many times just being a woman can cause reason for such abuse. This is a fact that can be observed in the beatings which unfortunately Sally continuously gets, and also in the rape of Esperanza. Esperanza presents us with an analysis of the way men and women relate to each other and refuse to abide by the demands applied to her sex by marriage or perhaps acting in a womanly way. For our character, disobeying gender position and staying independent is considered an act of rebellion as well as a source of power.…
