Sebold's triumph is in making Susie's voice so immediately compelling that we don't want to let her go, even after she's dead. We want to know what happens next. So does Susie.…

    “I throw my weight against their locked doors. The doors hold. I am smart. I am arrogant. I am lucky. I am trying to save our lives.” What does this quote from Sherman Alexie's “Superman and Me” mean? First, the quote should be broken down into fragments. “I throw my weight against their locked doors. The doors hold.” In this part of the quote Alexie is talking about the “...sullen and already defeated Indian kids who sit in the back rows and ignore me with theatrical precision.” He is telling about how he tries over and over to teach them, but they don’t want to learn. They have shut him out and locked their metaphorical doors.…

    The development of a character and how the character is perceived in a story really helps readers to figure out how the character is portrayed in the story. The Scarlet Letter is a story about a woman named Hester who has been convicted of adultery and has been sentenced to wearing the letter “A” on her chest for the rest of her life unless something changes. We first see Roger Chillingworth when Hester is let out of jail to stand on the scaffold, also known as the place of public shame, as part of her punishment, yet no one knew that it was Hester’s husband. Roger Chillingworth is not as much a character, but more of a symbol of sin and how the sin of people can change the way they act and the way they look. Roger Chillingworth’s appearance, the way he acts, and what the townspeople think about him progressively changes through the course if the story.…
