    In the novel “My Antonia” by Willa Cather, it is debatable whether characters Jim or Antonia learned more throughout their relationship. Personally, I believe that Jim learned more throughout their relationship. Considering that Jim is the narrator of the story, we get to see his inner thoughts, and never have confirmation of Antonia’s feelings, we just know what Jim thinks she has learned. Most first-person narrators can be considered unreliable, because we will never be certain on the feelings and thoughts of other characters. We are experiencing Jim’s story in the novel.…

    Ken Kesey’s, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, indulges in the escape from society’s boundaries through natural human expression while acknowledging the freedom this independence creates. While people build up walls (seen quite literally in acknowledgement to the ward), The ability to express human nature is present in McMurphy’s character as masculinity and virility become a gateway to freedom in the ward.

The narrator says, “The way he talks, his wink, his loud talk, his swagger all remind me of a car salesman or a stock auctioneer - or one of those pitchmen you see on a sideshow stage” (Kesey 13).…

    In the novel, Their Eyes Are Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston, Janie's newfound happiness with Tea Cake is seen as a product of her listening to her own desires. Janie feels that she is "so glad she was scared of herself" (117) foreshadowing the danger and instability of Janie's intense love for Tea Cake, a kind of love that is the polar opposite of Nanny's view of marriage as a source of safety and stability.

    Jhumpa Lahiri’s “Once in a Lifetime” is about a girl, named Hema, talking to a teenage boy Kaushik about what happened when he entered her life again. The story is written like a letter by older Hema from a future time to Kaushik, who is not present. We don’t know what happened to him and she is writing this letter to him.
