Sometimes two stories that have similar characters express their identities in completely different ways. This happens between the short stories “What You Pawn I Will Redeem” by Sherman Alexie and “Sonny’s Blues” by James Baldwin. The protagonist Jackson squared in “What You Pawn I Will Redeem” his identity is expressed in such a manner that you feel like the author wanted to display to the readers that this guy was no good. While the author for “Sonny’s Blues” kept his protagonist simple and let the story focus on Sonny and how the brother wanted to reconnect with Sonny.…

These aspects create a dismal emotion and a dark plot as the point of view makes the actions of each character more impactful and daunting, the choice of setting placement creates and isolated feeling, and the main character is written to be lonesome and depressive in nature. Goodwin is an American author that has written many stories and books and has…

    The Search of Man for Reality Man’s life-long thirst for truth, authenticity, reality, prominence and identity has led him to depend on various sources like media, popular opinion and other external sources in search of satisfaction.

"Ha, ha") written by Chuck Klosterman tends to answer questions that border around man’s latent desire for satisfaction and fulfillment. This idea is thus exemplified in the following statements of Klosterman, “The more media someone consumes (regardless of who they are or where they live), the more likely they are to take their interpersonal…

    In the early 20th century, a ragtag band of outlaws traversed the central US flagrantly committing robberies, holding people at gunpoint, and randomly perpetrating atrocities upon law-abiding citizens. Although this sounds like something from a movie, these characters in American history were real, and, despite their illegal and reprehensible acts, have come to be regarded iconically in American culture: Bonnie and Clyde Barrow. It’s not so much that Bonnie and Clyde’s crimes are forgivable; rather their conduct is overlooked because they are viewed sympathetically--flawed, yes, but acting on impulse, as a unified pair taking on the rest of the world. Robert Earl Keen’s “The Road Goes on Forever” chronicles the adventures of a similar couple:…
