    “Stories for nighttime and some for the day” is a collection of fantasy short stories written by Ben Loory. This book contains 40 short stories and of them all, my personal favorites are “The Book”, “UFO: A Love Story”, and “The Snake in the Throat”. “The Book” is a story about a woman who goes insane about a book she had bought that she claimed had no writing in it. After not being able to return the book, she went on an absolute rampage as she sees other people reading it, and it becoming a best seller. This bothered her so much that she ranted on the television, radio show, and even wrote her own book about it.…

    Passing and The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao place an emphasis on physical features. Although both novels take place in different times and settings, both novels are creating and representing women as exotic sexualized objects because of their gender and race. Larsen and Diaz’s emphasis on the blackness of female characters demonstrates the timelessness of the importance of skin color. Irene’s thoughts when she sees Clare : “Did that woman, could that woman, somehow know that here before her very eyes on the roof of the Drayton sat a Negro?”…

    Maxwell Maltz, author of a novel that explains how one can improve their self image, writes, “You will act like the sort of person you conceive yourself to be.” How a person acts is directly related to the level of self esteem they have. It is natural that a person with vanity carries themselves more confidently and is more assertive, whereas a lack of dignity negatively affects their attitude and outlook. Our impressions of ourselves are perplexed by daily comparisons to those surrounding us. I Stand Here Ironing, The Storyteller, and The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber all provide a character that relates how they act due to their morale.…

    In Richard Taylor’s article The Meaning of Life, Taylor creates a model of a meaningless life in order to undertake the larger question of ‘what is a meaningful life?’. This is done as a way of addressing the ambiguous nature of what it means to live a meaningful life, as meaning in this sense is an elusive term (Taylor, 22). By determining what a life without meaning would look like, Taylor hopes to gain a sense of what it is that allows for meaning in a life. Upon creating a model of a meaningless life, Taylor will apply it to human life as a way of determining what meaning is, and if it is present in human life. For the purpose of this paper, I will begin by providing an account of Taylor’s argument.…

    Modern Fairy Tales

    • 1130 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Fairy tales have had one of the most prominent roles in shaping twenty-first century society. This is because these tales have moved away from their oral purpose aimed at teaching a moral to audiences of all ages and towards an audience dedicated more towards children through modern technological, art and production advantages. It is true that fairy tales have been somewhat removed from their original purpose, hence the reason for much of the critique about the relevance of tales in the twenty-first century. I disagree with the critics, as what many do not realize, however, is that it is necessary for the fairy tale to be constantly under reconstruction in order to meet the needs of each era. It is known that fairy tale origins are from the…

    In the short stories “Eve’s Diary” and “Extracts from Adam’s Diary”, author Mark Twain takes a comical approach on the lives of two characters from The Book of Genesis.

Throughout the stories, Twain conveys an central message that although men and women are completely different, they need each other. The usage of humor and stereotypes within “Eve’s Diary” and “Extracts from Adam’s Diary” help project this important message.…
