    In this story, the grandmother and Misfit, who is a wanted criminal, live by a moral code that affects their basic decisions. O’Connor portrays the “moral code” not necessarily as good, but simply a code of conduct. At first, Misfit’s moral code appears misguided, but it turns out that it’s the grandmother’s code that is bad. Her moral code is more based on what she thinks is good. She repeatedly deceives her family.…

    The Scarlet Letter begins its story by introducing the main character, Hester Prynne. She has just been released from prison to fulfill her punishment of public humiliation. Hawthorne helps us illustrate not only Hester’s appearance, but also her personality through his syntactical description of her composure as she is being led to the scaffold to be exposed to the whole town. “In a moment, however, wisely judging that one token of her shame would but poorly serve to hide another, she took the baby on her arm, and, with a burning blush, and yet a haughty smile, and a glance that would not be abashed, looked around at her townspeople and neighbours. On the breast of her gown, in fine red cloth, surrounded with an elaborate embroidery and…

    O’Connor brings her readers the subject of good and evil and the loss of hope for society. We see the Grandmother being arrogant and who claims to be a good christian woman, but at the same time we see the Misfit who is more thoughtful and consciences as he is the one to provide the Grandmother of God’s grace. O’Connor gives the idea that the Misfit knows more about religion than the Grandmother does despite of him being a killer. Towards the end when the Grandmother and the Misfit discuss about whether or not Jesus brings Lazarus back to life, she says maybe he didn't bring him back to life. This proves that Grandmother in fact did not have much faith as she claimed to have.…

    Young adult novels have seemed to made a name for themselves. Unfortunately, it is not a name that would be craved. The stories have become carbon copies of each other, spanning from their cookie cutter characters to their uninteresting stories. Many young adult novels only go to the extent of writing the same story but with minor plot twists that give the illusion of a new story. Stories such as these fail to capture the reader who has seen the same story with a new coat of paint.…

    Milton Archetypes demonstrate both a constraint for difference beyond objectification as well as a characterized meaning that is devoid of anything beyond surface level appearance; From Milton’s standpoint characterizations are purely derived from physical depictions and what is said and seen about archetypical character of the Lady. The Lady, without a true name or purpose beyond her argument of chastity and virginity, serves as the primary comprehension to how archetypes are often deemed “characterized in the face” (Comus, 526-530). In comparison, the mythological opponent for which she encounters in the play, Comus, ads a keen juxtaposition to the role of sexuality in regards to a characters archetypal mode for which she embodies. Arguing…

In “The Jewelry”, by Guy de Maupassant, through the marriage and death of M. Lantin’s first wife the reader sees the pros and cons of M. Lentin realizing the truth about his wife.…

    With what little wisdom and perspective I have at twenty-one years of age, one thing about which I am certain is the harshness and deep-felt pain of the hole left behind when a loved one dies. If I know nothing else to be true, it is the ache and sometimes-unbearable sadness my family and I are experiencing at the loss of our beloved wife, mother, and grandmother. But just as much as that sorrow is real, so, too, is the welcome relief of laughter and love we exchange as we remember the wonderful, funny life of our very dear Patty. It is only with fond remembrance and a good laugh that we are able to keep our heads when dealing with the grief of losing my Grandma, and she has given us an abundance of anecdotes and stories with which we can chuckle and attempt to patch the huge hole that settled in our hearts.…
