    Characters are not always black and white, rather somewhere in between. This often makes it challenging to tell apart the good from the bad and decide which characters to root for. Nevertheless, these “grey” characters can often be all the more compelling to readers, because of their similarities to real people. The characters, Wes and Bob, from Mary Razzell’s short story, “The Job”, are no exceptions. On the surface, Wes and Bob seem like stereotypical, good and bad characters; Wes being the spiteful old grouch and Bob being the kind, supportive friend.…

    Dr. David Henson, the head of English department started the program at sharp 11 am. After him, author Kevin Wilson went to the stage and began by reading his own story “Go Fight Win”.

And the most amazing thing about Kevin Wilson was his response to the question; how he explained the answer asked by the students. He said that he wrote a story on the worst case scenario; for one of the character’s girlfriend who was apart from him.…

    In pieces of literature, romance is often used in order to create a plot in which one or more characters must follow a path of actions in order to find their true love. A character’s discovery of his or her true love may occur early on or later in their journey. An author may elongate or stress the “journey” in order to create a climax where the tension between two characters reach a peak. An example of such a technique used by an author is the novel Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton. Although it does not state it explicitly in the text, one could infer that through Mattie’s actions and words, she at first is hesitant to love Ethan.…

    Saillenfest and Dessalles ask the question, can believable characters act unexpectedly? The Knife Story is provided as an example to further illustrate this question. The story explains that John and Mary are true lovers with growing love, and on a Tuesday breakfast with John, Mary goes to the kitchen, grabs a knife, returns and stabs John in the back. With the short information provided, Mary stabbing John does not make sense, and therefore Mary’s character suffers from lack of believability due to the lack of an explanation, which can restore her intentions and believability. However, despite the deficiency of believability, the story had taken an unexpected, interesting turn in events.…

    Sexism shows itself repeatedly in literature, from the overly masculine, emotionless male hero to the women being portrayed as either weak and pitiful–or evil and seductive–making it a topic that is impossible to overlook. But at times, it is hard to determine whether or not the author is being deliberately sexist or is subconsciously influenced by the era in which he/she is writing. In Brave New World, gender goes alongside class in creating a world full of gender-based bias and stereotypes. Since the book was published in 1932, this was a time where men in particular may have been unaware of how influenced they were by the patriarchal culture of the time. Brave New World is a textbook example of sexism in literature, but gender roles and…

    Students face various social and emotional challenges as they develop and interact with the world around them. Their ability to control their emotions and reactions is dependent on their level of development, surrounding environment, and the skills they have been taught, modeled, and practiced that deal with social and emotional factors (Ed Psych, p 70).
