    Hand In Hand Comes Destruction and Creation “After the rain there is a rainbow”, after havoc and death there is the rebirth of something new, something better. This antithesis can be applied to Maxine Clair’s Rattlebone; a notable excerpt would be the short story “The Last Day of School”, where Irene portrays the epitome and final resolutions of her ups and downs that lingered throughout the story, reflecting on the overall theme: destruction and creation. With extreme chaos and fast-paced storytelling, Clair displays the epitome of both material and emotional destruction. Eerily noting that “the crash became the period at the end of the sentence about life in Rattlebone” (197), the narrator stresses the great impact the plane crash had on…

    In Passing, Nella Larsen uses the third person limited point of view to further illustrate the different fears of the characters, highlighting fears of discovery, violence against race, possible infidelity, and the fear of commitment. Although we as the audience are only privy to Irene’s thoughts and feelings, we can infer from the comments and gestures of other characters how their own fears pervade their lives. However, as the story is through Irene’s point of view, Irene’s thoughts and comments perhaps cloud and disregard the fears of others, showing how dread of the unknown can drive people to protect themselves and possibly forego the care of their friends and families. A theme that recurs throughout the novel is the fear of being discovered…

    Irene spends a great deal of time in Passing struggling with her opinion of Clare. While she makes Clare out to be a horrid person who disregards other’s feelings, Irene continually interacts with her. This double standard also appears in Irene’s view of passing. Even though she condemns Clare for taking part in passing, Irene, herself, will occasionally take part in the act of passing. Irene dislikes for passing can be explained by her struggle with her identity, and this struggle with her identity makes Irene into an unreliable narrator because all of Irene’s actions are based on how she believes she should act, and her opinion on how she identifies conflicts with how she presents herself and other characters.…

    Reflection 1: Lost in the City Artistic representations of life allow for a visceral expression of concepts that are commonly known. Anonymity is a feeling that most urban dwellers experience. This can be seen on any form of public transit where hundreds of people will be crammed into a train and yet there will be silence. As Tonkiss notes, this requires a sort of "special urban trick" that urban dwellers perform to keep their distance socially despite being in close physical proximity (2003, 301).…
