Unfortunately they lack the availability to wander around in their natural habitat. In comparison to zoo animals, circus…

For many people, reading is a form of escapism. The appeal of books, especially works of fiction, is that they let us see into another life. In many cases, the lives we read about are more exciting or extraordinary then our own. But in the case of Stephen Crane’s Maggie, A Girl of the Streets, the life we are being shown is less than extraordinary. He brings us into the grim, merciless world of New York City’s Bowery neighborhood in the late 19th century. Although it is a disheartening view of…

Postbellum south was a controversial period for many. Plantation life collapsed through the abolition of slavery and fundamentally new times were on the horizon. Some embraced the future with open arms, and some resisted it with their best efforts. Every aspect of life became a whole new ballgame which meant things must be reformed in high volume areas. Previous habits, concepts, designs were all subject to be replaced with much good reason. In William Faulkner’s A Rose for Emily, he takes…

it is commonly sought after, which it is. Everybody, save maybe a few indigenous tribes of indians who barter with other things that they value, values money. Since all citizens of the United States values the U.S. Currency it makes it valueble to all Americans. American dollars can be transferred to any other form of money so therefore American dollars have value everywhere in the world because almost all societies have a monetary system similar to ours. But all forms of money are basically…

The values of a patriarchal society are shown to be stifling and oppressive for both women and children. Discuss. Tobias Wolff’s 1989 coming-of-age memoir, This Boy’s Life, subtly explores how a patriarchal society is not only stifling and oppressive for women and children, but also for men. Wolff does not directly comment on the patriarchal values of the 1950’s; nor does he try to condemn them, instead the reader is exposed to the suggestion that had these ideals not been so firmly ingrained…

an integration of war and Pat’s life, and it reaches a point in which they meet. By the end of the story Krakauer exposes how war placed a false value on Pat’s life. It became a deception when Pat Tillman was posthumously awarded with the Silver Star.
