    It is in human nature to search for and come up with answers, even when there is not enough factual information to back it up. The opinions formed by using minimal details are often wrong, but once formed they are hard to overcome. These unfounded judgments can follow a person forever, or at least until the one who made the judgment bothers to get to know the subject of their uninformed opinion. Even though people are aware that initial impressions are often incorrect, it is nearly impossible to surpass human nature and wait for facts to reach a conclusion. When reading "Fireweed", I immediately noticed the theme of restless tragedy.…

    The Wife of Bath is an excellent example of a human struggling for equality, and experiencing the pain of love, or at least what it passes for. Allison challenges religious scholars and biblical principles for the purpose of justifying her marriage with her fifth husband. Not only does she challenge religion, but also attempts to neutralize a deviance of the norms typically held by men and women. “In championing experience, the Wife sets up a series of oppositions, between the practical and the ideal, between the private and the public, and between women and men. In particular, though, she establishes an opposition between herself as an uneducated woman and book-learned church authorities such as Saint Jerome” (Arnell 14).…
