Commentary
This story is about life and life itself. I took inspiration from books like ‘perks of being a wall flower’ which was based on issues faced by young adults. Also the characters from this book evolved emotionally, without vastly grand events occurring. I tried to make my story like this. Essentially a guy liked a girl and a girl got depression. However I tried to make these seemly simple events show development in the characters. Inspiration for this story came from my best friend and his tale of his first serious girlfriend. My original draft was on his tale of events, however as I proceed to the final copy I decided to intervene with the text. The original story was meant to end with Johnny ending up with Jess, however I used textual

    Boyd Vizzini Change

    As I read the second half of Ned Vizzini ’s It’s Kind of a Funny Story, the way the talented author ended the novel with his straightforward, relatable voice made this story about such a serious topic just another young adult book with a grave meaning hidden inside. At the same time, the heart-warming book made typical teenagers, like me, marvel at the wonders of life as Craig went through his treatment from depression. During my intense reading of the last few chapters, I realized an important theme that the skilled Vizzini tried to portray: sometimes, change can be for the best.…

    Li-Young Lee A Story Poem Analysis

    The German philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche, once said: “That which does not kill us, makes us stronger.” Li-Young Lee’s poem entitled “A Story” poignantly depicts the complex relationship between a father and his son through the boy’s entreaties for a story. He employs emotional appeals as well as strategic literary devices to emphasize the differing perspectives that exist between father and son. Through shifting points of view, purposeful structure, and meaningful diction, Lee adds depth and emotion to the love shared by the two characters and illuminates a universal theme of present innocence and changing relationships over time.…

    Love Has To Be Love Character Analysis

    I have so many different thoughts and opinions about this book. I started out loving Has to Be Love, was super conflicted in the middle, but thought the ending was pretty spectacular. Like I said, conflicted. Our narrator, Clara, was rather frustrating to read about because she was so torn between what decisions to make about particular things, but she was a truthful character (to us at least). Reading Clara's justifications for wanting certain things made me more interested in the story and what would eventually happen…

    Symbolism In A Good Man Is Hard To Find

    A Good Man is Hard to Find To begin with, the purpose of symbolism adds more meaning and depth to a storyline. It sort of acts like a webbing between the theme and story. Themes alone can be a bit moralistic and a story can just be simplistic. Symbolism brings these two together. For example we see that the grandmother's hat plays a role as a symbol.…

    Taper Literary Analysis

    The piece I have chosen to write, Taper, is about a struggling sibling relationship between two sisters, and a conversation that encapsulates what it's like when families run in circles around each other. I was inspired to write Taper after reading "Like a House on Fire", "Cross Country", and "Seventy-Two Derwent's". I was inspired by these stories as I enjoy first person narration rarely, and only when they are very internal, or in diary form, as I think they are excellent at showing the inner thoughts of character. In "Seventy-Two Derwent's" I was interested in the sibling relationship and, although the relationship in my story is unstable, I liked the idea of family looking out for each other, as well as how complex these relationships can…

    In my story, I thought that the major strength was my intro. I really liked how it kept the reader hooked and were wondering what happened and how she got in the situation she was in. I also thought that is was cool that the story started with outcome of the end of the world and how she was all alone and ended with it. After my first draft I was given feedback to revise on the sensory details with certain things that happened to her so the reader could really feel how she felt.…
