    Even though Jackson and Rutledge’s writing pieces are completely different, they are also similar. They are different by their reason for writing their individual writing pieces and their sentences structure. But, they are also similar because they use tone and descriptive language. Michael Rutledge wrote “Samuel’s Memory” to have people remember the horrors of the Trail of Tears that his great grandson’s endured. “My mother and I are taken by several men to where their horses are and are held there at gunpoint” (Rutledge).…

    The theme that I chose for this paper is family. This theme appears in the essays "Proofs" of Richard Rodriguez and in "The Apology: Letters from a Terrorist" of Laura Blumenfeld. We can clearly see the theme in the essay of "Proofs"in the following ways: The essay talks about how migration sometimes separate families, and how difficult it becomes for the migrant to be able to live in another country without his culture and with his family so far away from him. In the essay "The Apology" the theme could be seen reflected in how the parents and family members of the terrorist always keep supporting their son, and also it is shown in how Laura Blumenfeld wanted that her father was seen as another person and not only as an object.…

Also, both of them used the color, pink to represent young woman in their stories.…

    Heroes typically have the characteristics of being strong and fearless. The ancient hero Gilgamesh had these ideals in the story the Epic of Gilgamesh, written in Western Asia in 2000 B.C.E. Even though these ideals are present, they are not as evident in the hero Harry Potter from J.K Rowling’s Harry Potter series written in the 21st century. However, in almost every book, no matter what the culture or time period are, the same basic themes of character traits, power and death recur.…

    There are several legends or just stories regarding monsters that we have known since we were children and they have frightened us since we were young into our early teenage years. But if we really think about it, what might these monsters represent or why do we even have monsters. Authors attempted to look into the world of monsters more and attempt to identify more of what the monsters could symbolize or what they can represent regarding us, humankind. In other words, the authors explain their perspectives on how do monsters and their existence affect us, how do they represent what we are here for and more. Using the articles “My Zombie, Myself: Why Modern Life Feels Rather Undead,” “Cursed by a Bite,” and “Monsters and Messiahs” I will help…

    When you first take a look at The Rape of the Lock, and A Modest Proposal, they seem like wildly different pieces of writing.

These techniques occur everywhere in both pieces of writing, and there are several that they share in common.…

    In literature, there is a cornucopia of authors whose works are arguably more different than they are similar. However, even through the seemingly stark contrast of various authors, there are similarities that are way too often overlooked or just unconsidered. Edgar Allan Poe and Washington Irving were authors most renowned for their short stories during the Romantic Era of literature, each having their own unique style. Poe was known for his use of horror and the dark characteristics of human nature, and Irving for his use of fantasy and humor of different varieties. Two seemingly different approaches to literature by two seemingly different authors . . .…
