Angel wings
I look like butterfly flying in the air,
Up high where no one can see me,
Will you take me?
Can I reach there? The air the trying to keep me,
With my light wings keeping me up high,
My wings are like the sun in the mornings,
But light is making me Bland, The flowers pulling me down,
Will my wings help me stay up?
Or will it take me down with it.

    White Angel Analysis

    The story White Angel is one of a defining moment. Bobby Morrow, the focal character, remembers in great detail his life as a nine year old in the late 1960’s, and how his brother’s death changed his life completely. Bobby and his sixteen-year-old brother Carlton do everything together, and Bobby looks to Carlton as something of a guardian angel or god. In reality though, Carlton leads Bobby to a life of drugs and risk. Eventually, Carlton’s risky behavior catches up with him, and leads him to his death. In “White Angel”, author Michael Cunningham uses both irony and the repetition of symbols to show the theme of escape. Throughout the story, there are various references to music, doors, windows, planes, winged creatures, drugs, and, ultimately, Carlton’s death – all of which are forms of leaving, or escaping, the world.…

    Killer Angels Book Review

    • 1741 Words
    • 7 Pages

    The novel I chose for the historical book review is called The Killer Angels, by Michael Shaara. This novel is about the Battle of Gettysburg during the Civil War, and it is written from the perspective of the people fighting while sharing their thoughts and feelings about the battle as it goes on. Although it is historical fiction, The Killer Angels centers around the Battle of Gettysburg, which, of course, really took place. While the strategy of the battle is factual, the dialogue is fictitious. The book starts with a Foreword that gives details of the armies and people involved. Four main chronological sections cover the days of Monday, June 29, 1863, through Friday, July 3, 1863, while switching between viewpoints Union and Confederate participants. An Afterword tells the reader what happens to several of the key characters. Even though a chapter is written from one commander's perspective, the author still allows you to see what some of the other characters in those scenes are thinking. Without this way of writing the novel, the reader wouldn’t truly be able to understand thoughts and opinions of the soldiers, so some of the choices wouldn't have made as much sense. Shaara included the arguments between characters about how to go about the attack, which gives the reader much more details about how complicated the few days of the battle were.…

    This short story, “Old Man with Enormous Wings "(1955) written by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Gabriel Garcia Marquez is a short-story writer, screenwriter and journalist, known affectionately as Gabo throughout Latin America. In his story, “Old Man with Enormous Wings "(1955) there are two carnivals which take place in a small town. In one of the carnivals, there was a very old man with enormous wings whom the townspeople believed was an angle. In the second carnival, there was a woman who, at a young age disobeyed her parents and was turned into a spider. The two carnivals had little in common and had different effects on the townspeople. Through this story, Marquez introduces the concept with regard to how we might react to certain things like the presence of an angel or a miracle. Marquez creates a story that is very detailed but is opposite to the reality of angels that we are familiar with, especially the Catholic Church’s depiction of an angel as a prominent creature, not the person described in the story. Marquez’s story primarily focuses on individuals’ lack of values, judgments towards the neighbor, and the inconsistency of faith in Latin-American society.…
