Throughout the novel, Meryl Lee faces a lot of inner and outer struggles, but she still maintains an intelligent, considerate and emotional personality.…

    The article, Guns, Germs and Steel, written by Jared Diamond, is an argument about how and why things happened differently in history in different continents. It’s about looking deeper into why things happened the way they did. Why did western Eurasian societies become more powerful? What enabled these parts of the world to develop more quickly and in turn be able to conquer less developed societies around the world? The important message to grasp from this article is not about how certain continents or areas becoming developed quicker, but why those specific areas were the ones to develop quicker. An example of this that Diamond discusses, is how New Guineans were still living in the “Stone Age” 200 years ago when Europeans came to New Guinea with materials (called cargo) that were very valued. The question was, why did the people of New Guinea have a scarce amount of cargo when the white Europeans had so much of it? (page 14)…

    To begin with, Hatchet does a better job explaining the story because it gives more descriptive details. Also, Hatchet stays on the same page, in order, throughout the book, while, “A Cry In The Wild,” goes randomly through important details. Plus, Hatchet has less special effects and more real life situations than “A Cry In The Wild.” “A Cry In The Wild” looks like his mom gives him a hatchet and puts him on a plane with a guy that has bad medical records. She wants him to survive in the wilderness because she wants to be alone with the man in the “tennis” shirt.…

    “The truth is that my fascination is rooted in fear,” Grice reveals as he justifies to the readers why he hunts black widows. Gordon Grice published his essay, “Caught in the Widow’s Web” in 1995 to the issue of The High Plains Literary Review. In it, he explains that this creature is a representation of a powerful evil in nature whose motives are purely malevolent. His informative tone, describing the habits of the black widow, allows the reader to connect to the overarching message that facing vile beings is inevitable. Using literary devices and various tones, Grice communicates his overall theme: evil can be found everywhere, just as it is found in a black widow.…
