EN 281 Setting and characterization It was about 6 a.m. Saturday morning and it is an extremely beautiful morning; one of the mornings that makes you stop and realize just how amazing it is at that particular moment in the world. Everything from how nice the summer breeze felt on a freshly shaved face, how the cool water felt as it ran between the toes and bottom of your foot, the smell of fresh cut grass in air, the sounds, or lack of sound, that summer brings in when it is perfect outside. It is very quiet, the only sounds you can hear are the occasional birds chirping as they flew by, an occasional car driving by on the road behind you, a fish that surfaces time from time, the gentle sound of the water as the current brings it in and out,…
Day two. Written with a thin black marker on a minuscule white board in awkward large letters that signify the number of days 54 year old James M. Conis has sat on Court Square behind a plastic folding table that hung a sign that screamed “ELDER EXPLOITATION HUNGER STRIKE” in huge block letters. He was such a peculiar man, not your average protester. He was stout, yet looked respectable, wearing a starched white button up, black trousers, a gold watch, and a checkered newsboy hat. A woman with salt and pepper hair approached him cautiously, measuring his amount of sanity up and down with her eyes.…
What do women want in a marriage? Is it love and happiness or is it unfaithfulness and torture? Most women desire love and happiness, but not all receive what they wish. Some women have it all from a great husband with a great job who treats them like a queen and they take it for granted. Other women have a horrible life whose husbands do not do anything for them, cheat on them, and treat them no better than dirt on the ground when all they wanted was to be loved.…

Isaac Bashevis Singer is a distinguished, highly renowned Jewish writer. Singer writes about meaningful Jewish practices, such as observing the Sabbath, going to synagogue, and keeping a Jewish home. These are stories in which G-d’s presence is truly felt by the reader and there is no doubt surrounding if the characters live their own interpretation of a religious life. In three of Singer’s most prominent work’s, G-d’s name is never mentioned: an observation too compelling to be surmised as coincidence or a mere mistake. Nobody refutes Singer’s status as an author who writes Jewish stories, insinuating that a Jewish author of stories who may or may not be religious is not obliged to write about G-d. This is indicative of the Jewish culture…
