The Tiger's Heart By Jim Kjelgaard
The short story “The Tiger’s Heart” by Jim Kjelgaard follows Pepe Garcia, a master of his village in pursuit of a tiger who has terrorized his village. Pepe has many motivations as to why he is hunting the tiger which include pride, money, admiration, and because he is a hunter. Throughout the story, Pepe puts great emphasis that owning a rifle makes a man the “master” of his village, yet when he needed it most, the rifle fails. You would think that a normal man would lose all motivation and drive at this point, but Pepe’s desire to succeed shines through and he overcomes this challenge.

I was also disguised because American history was so cruel. One of the reasons that I took this class was also to learn more about African American culture.

In the very olden times, there lived a semi-barbaric King, which his daughter had an affair and causes the youth to choose a door for his new wife or get eaten by a tiger. “The arena of the king...with its encircling galleries, its mysterious vaults, and its unseen passages, was an agent of poetic justice, in which crime was punished, or virtue rewarded, by the decrees of an impartial and incorruptible chance.”…

    The Red Badge Of Courage By Stephen Crane

    Man is not meant to be alone, we are meant for relationship and working as one body. The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane tells the story of young Henry in his journey through the war. Henry and his regiment are a good example of the power of the individual as compared to the power of a full fighting force working in harmony. The Red Badge of Courage shows how in war individuals look after themselves, an unorganized and untested group is fragile, and a veteran force is mighty. In the Civil War the men fought for their beliefs on slavery.…

    Sulema Pimentel once said, “Don’t focus on the pain, focus on your strength.” This could relate to the The Call of the Wild because the dog, Buck, was beaten and tortured by a really mean man. I would totally understand why a parent would not want their son or daughter to read this. But, they will eventually see this somewhere in life or they might read about it in another book. The parent might not think that their child would be able to handle all the violence throughout the book. But, some parents might not know what they are reading outside of their house. The Call of the Wild will introduce a student into the real world and what is going on.…

    "The Child By Tiger" By Thomas Wolfe

    "Insane Slave Murders Citizens!" The headlines would boldly exclaim this phrase if an event such as that happened today. The central event of the plot is a violent action in "The Child by Tiger" by Thomas Wolfe. The author gives significance to the occurrence by making it reveal a general truth about human experience. This universal theme becomes evident through many aspects of the story, which can be analyzed and evaluated to discern their purpose. These following paragraphs will support the judgement that a person in general can contain two worlds inside their psyche: good and evil. If the balance of these two is upset, tremendous or horrible things can happen. When "The Child by Tiger" first begins, Dick Prosser is established as a well-rounded, almost perfect individual. Although he is a slave, that doesn't restrict his amazing talents and abilities. As the story progresses, however, a stark contrast becomes evident in Dick Prosser's presence. The first indication of the revelation of an underlying theme is the shroud of mystery veiled over Dick Prosser. For example, in the first few pages of this story, a character named Pansy Harris is introduced. She is portrayed as a jovial, good-hearted, Negro woman that assists with the kitchen duties in her owners' home. Her disposition quickly changes to quiet and somewhat mournful upon encountering Dick Prosser. She informs her host family that she is leaving, which seems as if her departure is without any reason whatsoever. Secondly, a dark, enigmatic presence surrounded the narrator when he would see Dick. The narrator (once referred to as Mr. Spangler) speaks of the red in Dick's eyes whenever Dick would emerge from his living quarters. This was presumed to be an "intoxication of the spirit" because Dick was a godly man. The appearance of the worn-out Bible on his table was evidence that the book had been used often. Spangler often refers to Dick's cat-like abilities to sneak up on people, which deeply troubled him.…
