A. Garcin: One thing that Gracin wanted was to convince Inez that he is not a coward. And that the choices that he made in his life were necessary. He wanted to feel like he wasn’t a cower and that others mainly Inez to see his masculinity and not his cowardly act. Garcin was also wanted to be leaved alone with his own thoughts. Throughout the play we see that Garcin was more concerned with keeping his own thoughts quiet and to his himself than sharing it with others. Inez: Inez is a self-proclaimed sadist, who frankly acknowledges that she is very cruel. As audience we can easily assume that the only thing Inez wants was to ruin the lives of others the same way she ruined her own cousin’s life. In a way she wants to create destructive.

    Although the infamous murder of the Clutter family happened in November of 1959, Capote’s story was not published by Random House until late September of 1965. It was a long process for Capote to gather all the information needed to pull off this story. He traveled to Holcomb shortly after the murder and then he spent the next six years writing and researching the background behind the town, the family, and the two killers. While the book was considered a success by many “In Cold Blood is the work of art, the work of an artist" (Garrett 80), critics believe it was Truman’s last great work. He never published another book after In Cold Blood, and he even felt that the writing of the story took too much out of him: “ ‘it scraped me right down…

To start off, Garcin is very concerned whether he is a coward or not, because of his decision to run away to Mexico from Rio because of a fight. This ultimately led him to his faith, but he is worried about what others think of him because of his decision. He fails to overcome being-for-others for this reason, since he needs to know what he is. Sartre agrees when he writes, “‘...…

    My initial response to this assignment was to simply type "YA Lit" into Google, go to the 20th page, and choose a few websites to use. However, upon doing that, I discovered that not only does Google stop being effective after that many pages in the sense that it lists clickbait articles, but also that a more specific term is needed to actually get a list of quality websites that focus on the topic of Young Adult Literature. Two terms that I found were more specific were "YAL blogs" and "YAL directory". These aren't more complicated than simply searching YAL by any means, but they do narrow the results one gets.…

    In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby the label of outsider is awarded to Nick despite a majority of his characteristics fitting the mold of an average American man. An outsider can be defined as “a person who does not belong to a particular group; a contender not expected to win.” However, the novel seems to insinuate that it is not membership of a group that determines outsider status, but possession of power. Throughout American history, it is not the minority that is automatically the outsiders it has been those who power has been systematically stripped away. In The Great Gatsby, Jay Gatsby could hardly be described as a member of the majority demographic because of his obscene wealth and illegal business practices.…

    The Hardest Person to Escape is Yourself “The devil doesn’t come dressed in a red cape and pointy horns. He comes as everything you’ve ever wished for,” as Tucker Max said. This is played out nowhere so well as in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby. Gatsby’s poor and humble beginnings led to his internal belief that the only way he would ever be worthy of respect would be to change his status within society. When he fell in love and then lost his first love, this belief became even more internalized as he believed the only way he would ever be worthy of this love would be to completely alter his identity and become someone else entirely.…
