    The ability to experience pain and suffering are universally and innately part of human ideology. Margaret Lock and Nancy Scheper-Hughes situate human affliction as mutually constructed by biological, social, and cultural understandings of the body. Both anthropologists advocate for a comprehensive perspective regarding illness and disease in which knowledge of and explanatory models referring to an individual’s illness are fixed on a greater social, political, and cosmic influences. Apparent identical life events can be explained by purely contradictory understandings of the body; pain, suffering and death simply cannot be explained in a manner that lacks the wider context of culture and society.…

    Newton Scamander was well accustomed by now to the endless taunting and ridicule he received from most of the other students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He'd figured out years ago that the best way to deal with hexes or a flying shoe was to put up a Shield Charm and watch the shoe bounce right back and hit the owner in the face. (The people who liked throwing their shoes had long since ended that habit.) Newt could deal with the people who skirted around him in the corridor when he stepped out from his classrooms. It had something to do with his strange affection for all magical creatures.…

Though this piece of literature was originally written as a mere poem, it possesses some elements that are common to modern day fictional narratives. Though this Breton lay lacks some of the elements usually present in modern fictional narratives, it still possesses short story elements such as character development, conflicts and themes that definitely qualify it as a forerunner of modern short stories. To begin with, though…

    The short story A & P, written by John Updike, is different because of the way that Updike is able to write in present and past tense from the perspective of a teenager thinking back to his days working in a grocery store. The story is about some girls who walk into the store wearing nothing but their bathing suits.

The comedic patter of the story is very evident with the way the narrator gives the girls and others in the store little nicknames that are almost somewhat offensive.…
