'Return To A Town' By Upton Sinclair
The last chaper in the book is doesent have a crazy ending with plot twist and turns or anything that shocks you as a reader. It is a boring ending where Carol just decides to get married and have kids, Sinclair shows how she didn’t really wanted to move back but it was the best choice for her. Early in the book Sinclair describes carrol as someone who has a creative mind and bright ideas wanting to come to a town and bring the town more creativlity and new ideas on social issues as well. This town seems to be very consetative and if anyone who thought different was an outcast, for example Miles Bjorstam in the story. He was a socialist and a democratic which were probably very different views from what the majority of the citzens in that

    Hope And Humanity In The Road By Cormac Mccarthy

    In The Road by Cormac McCarthy, the "fire" is a very powerful symbol of both hope and humanity. In a bleak world with no hope or morals, the remaining humans are forced into scavenging and hiding; other human beings have nothing to offer but cruelty and danger through cannibalism. Although the mankind loses touch with its humanity, the man and the boy offer some kind of hope for humanity, and it is captured through the phrase, "carrying the fire" (83). Although it seems that "fire" was the main cause of the destruction of civilization, after some kind of unidentified catastrophe that has overtaken the world, in my opinion, it is also the foundation of humanity. Perhaps to carry the fire brings the redemption of hope and the remaining grains…

    Life Is Beautiful By Elie Wiesel

    “You should never regret anything in life. If it’s good, it’s wonderful. If it’s bad, it’s experience” (Unknown, n.d.). This quote symbolizes how everything in life can be cherished and turned into an experience. The only way people learn is through experience, which makes life better and wonderful. In Elie Wiesel’s (2006) novel Night and the movie “Life is Beautiful” (2000), there are two completely different perspectives on life in the worst of times. Both the book and the movie show life during the Holocaust and how it has impacted father and son relationships. Each story shows how the fathers and sons are impacted through two different types of experiences spent in a concentration camp during the Holocaust. In the memoir Night and the…

    Travels With Charley By John Steinbeck

    In Travels with Charley, Steinbeck is traveling through the U.S. in the early 1960s, when race relations and civil rights were a hot topic, so it's no wonder that race comes up quite a bit. We should warn you that Steinbeck hears and sees some pretty ugly things related to this topic while he's out there on the road, particularly in the South. In fact, in the great climax of the story, he comes across a group of women (the "Cheerleaders") who have made it their mission to protest school integration in New Orleans. Their method? Screaming obscenities. At small children. Yep, like we said: ugly.…

    The Mending Wall by Robert Frost

    Oral Presentation – Mending Walls The persona’s further description creates an imagery that illustrates how hard it is to maintain and balance the barrier. It reads, “We have to use a spell to make them (the boulders) balance, stay where you are until our backs are turned.” The spell, again cannot be true in the real world, shows that they need to use imaginary power to maintain balances, since the nature of the “boulder”, “balls” and “loaves”, or in the metaphorical terms, the barriers between the two friends, cannot maintain itself on that position, but moves away and dismantles the barrier. This illustrates that the distance between friends are hard to maintain, and the persona actually do not want to maintain it. The imagery of “pine” and “apple orchard” is one of the major imageries that explains the theme. It reads: “There where it is we do not need the wall: He is all pine and I am apple orchard. My apple trees will never get across and eat the cones under his pines.” It is obvious that Robert Frost does not literally mean that apple tree can move and eat cones, but this imagery serves as a metaphor that the persona and his friend are different, perhaps in personality, culture or living style. Pine and apple have very distinct colour and shapes, and I think what the poet is trying to communicate is that even the two friends are different, there is not need to build up a barrier between their friendship because they will not offend or interrupt each other’s life, just like “my apple trees will never get across and eat the cones under his pines”. From this view it could be interpreted that Robert Frost himself actually questions the need of the wall since they would not invade each other’s lives. The last major imagery that helps illustrate the theme is the imagery of his neighbour in the woods. It reads, “Bringing a stone grasped firmly by the top in each hand, like an old stone savaged armed.” The stone the neighbour is holding coincides with the boulders…
