Maison's Comparison: A Fictional Narrative

Improved Essays
“I can’t believe you mistook a crush for intense hatred, what the fuck Scarlett?
Maison sighed, shaking his head

“I thought the heart palpitations were from rage.” I said sheepishly trying to defend myself. “Yeah, well you’re a fucking idiot, you might be smart but your common sense is truly lacking. Mistaking the crush on your roommate for abhorrence”

“Alright alright, enough of your big words, can’t we just agree that i have a no common sense and no idea how to deal with this huge crush on my roommate. MY ROOMMATE of all people. Why her? I have to live with her, i have to see her every fucking day. When she’s all cute in her pajamas, when she’s focused on studying and does that adorable lip bite, with her hair all wet after a shower,

I sighed and looked at the whiskey, watching it swirl around in the glass before taking a sip, wincing as it burned going down.
“Thanks Maison, even though you’re a bit of an ass, you’re a good friend”

As hard as it was to read him, once you got past the stony exterior he had a heart of gold and was an amazing person.
I let my mind wander and soon enough my thoughts drifted back to roxy. God she was beautiful, gorgeous but not in a way where you’d do a double take, but in the way where you gazing around the room and your eyes just kinda linger on her longer than normal. The more you looked the more you noticed, like the way her seemingly brown eyes were actually a kaleidoscope of green and yellow and different shades of brown twisting together in a way that makes me want to hurt anyone who ever said said brown eyes were boring. Or how her jawline was strong, sharp but soft all at the same time. And how her hair even when thrown up in a messy bun, tendrils curling around made her look so soft and you just want to

    Through reading “The Woman Upstairs”, Claire Messud creates the character of Nora Eldridge, an angry, self-aware narrator, who works to educate the reader on the choices and confines of being a woman and over all the female experience that is focused on a particular life stage. In my opinion, it would be difficult to write an accurate female experience without divulging into perceivable sexist stereotypes that are predominant in the culture today. Expanding on that, can we read Claire Messud’s work as a feminist, on the basis that she defies these stereotypical norms, or is she just another angry woman whose life has become a stalemate. Readers may consider her a feminist in the aspect that she rejects stereotypical norms of setting down fast…

    In “The Landlady”, Billy Weaver is lured into a seemingly normal bed and breakfast by an old lady who, despite her gentle and unthreatening appearance, wants to kill him. It is a story about how those with cruel intent may take advantage of those who are innocent and naive. Although the book and the movie can be arguably similar if generalized, there are many differences that may change the way a reader/viewer may grasp the concept of the story. Since a movie and book cannot be exactly the same, the film version is bound to have things that differ from the text. One example of how the book develops the development of the story is with the setting.…
