    Fever 1789 Book Summary

    I have recently finished the book "Fever 1789" by Laurie Halse Anderson. It was filled with a roller coaster of emotion leaving the reader on the edge before every chapter. The description in the book fills my mind of how it was back in the 1700's. This book demostrats a good understanding of the environment and tone in the book. At the end of the book it shows real life sections of how Anderson used history into a fictional story. The other book i'm reading is "Night" by Ellie Wiesel. It shows a similiar dark approach to the book's setting. The book is based off Ellie's life in a concentration camp during the Nazi regime. Ellie was only just a young boy and he had to endure painful suffering. Watching the people die around you and seeing your…

    Summary Of Katharine H. S Moon's Sex Among Allies

    Katharine H.S Moon, the author of “Sex among Allies: Military Prostitution in U.S.-Korea Relations”, wrote “where there are soldiers, there are women who exist for them.” The misconceptions of Asian women as prostitutes for the United States Military men have linger through present day America. This portion of the essay will examine the particular measures in how and why the early movement of Asians migration greatly inclined today’s stereotype of Asian women. The entire antiquity of the labels dates back to the 1900’s, where the Asian settlers initially reached the United States. These settlers, mainly their women, stumbled upon racial discrimination and hostility. The cultural distinction amongst Asians and Americans were exploited by the…

    Ready Player One Literary Analysis

    Though Money: The Unauthorized Biography & Ready Player One are vastly different books written for completely different audiences, major economic themes shine through in both pieces of literature. Money: The Unauthorized Biography is a non-fiction piece which focuses on the development of currency as we know it today, & the debunking of common inaccuracies in that history which many believe to be true. The novel, Ready Player One, is fiction in its entirety & doesn’t focus on economic themes. The novel follows the story of a teenage boy living in a not far off dystopian future, which inadvertently relays economic issues prevalent in its time period.…

    A Lesson Before Dying Literary Analysis

Racism was prevalent shown by the whites-only libraries in Louisiana. After 15 years of living in Louisiana, Gaines moved to California, although he states Louisiana never left him.

    Trimester 3: Interpreting Common Themes In Literature

    As trimester 3 is coming to an end I am beginning to reflect on all of the themes, novels and plays that we have encountered this year in class.. All the pieces of literature we read this trimester in more ways than one tie into the literature we read in previous trimesters. They all relate to one another, by sharing common themes and actions. My group discussed and ruminated on the following themes of evil, innocence, corruption, and conflict. A few of these topics stood out to me as well as other members of my group. Innocence and the capability to be evil seemed to outshine the others in total this entire year. In previous trimesters my groups have discussed death, evil, innocence, manipulation, rebellion and reputation. These trimesters have caused me to discover that manipulation ultimately joins innocence and evil together. Since you are not necessarily…

    Book Analysis: The Story of an Hour

    Can a person die of happiness? That’s what seems to happen in Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour”. Mrs. Mallard received the horrible news of her husband’s passing due to a train accident. However, as we read further into the story we realized that Mrs. Mallard is not that upset with her newfound freedom. But the narrative comes to a climax when Mrs. Mallard dies upon discovering that her husband is actually alive. Doctors pronounce the cause of death - “joy that kills”. It is debatable if someone could die from hearing good news. Mrs. Mallard believed that her husband died and she finally could be free to live her life, but was rudely awakened by seeing him alive. Her imaginative freedom was taken away from her and that’s what her heart couldn’t take. It was not the joy that killed Mrs. Mallard but rather discovering that her husband is alive and her freedom would be lost again, thus causing her death.…

    My Challenges In To Kill A Mockingbird

    I had some challenges in the first semester. I realized that it gets harder every year. I felt like ninth grade was a bit easier than this year. The final for English was easy. There were only two questions. We took a final for the novel, To Kill A Mockingbird. My goal is to have good grades, but also pass every class so that I don’t have to retake any. I want to be able to graduate on time. It always gets hard when almost end of the semester. That is the time when teachers start to give out more work. It’s a good idea but the same time bad. It can help bring grades up for some people. Most people are lazy so they rather not do it and fail the semester. My challenge was trying to focus with so many distractions in the way.…
