    Between Worlds By Erdrich

    In his article, Gross challenges Rainwaters idea of the conflicting cultural codes of the narratives, which leads the reader to be “alienated” from the Erdrich novel. He states, that not all the readers experience difficulties with Erdrich works, and Rainwater’s term “between worlds” has undeservedly extreme connotation. Erdrich novels are perfectly comprehensible for any Native Indian reader in general, and for his tribe in particular. Moreover, he sees not fictional, but “realistic portrayal of the Anishinaabe apocalypse and statement of hope for the future survival of our people.”(64). The Anishinaabe scholar Gross modifies the Rainwater’s thesis of the “fictional” ideas of the narrative by explaining them as a “trickery ”. And this trickery…

    In modern dramas, most of the time audiences can clearly distinguish which characters are good and evil. However, in Game of Thrones many of the characters are more like humans and are flawed making us become a lot more emotionally invested in them. We, as the audience, see all the good and evil that the characters have done throughout the show and we really can’t decide whether they are truly good or evil. By constantly keeping us intrigued to whether this character will do something horrific or have a moment of heroism makes the show that much more interesting. Also, by the fact that you can’t ever bank on what is going to come makes the show so much more captivating. Main characters have been slaughtered, weddings have turned to bloodbaths, and villains have develop heroism as the time passes. The developments in the show are impossible for people to follow and it makes us just crave more. Tywin Lannister has become one of the central and most talked about characters on this show and we can see why. Tywin challenges our moral standpoints, and keep us in awe of his actions and mindset. I truly don’t know what is more stunning, Tywin’s horrific actions or his heroic ones. He keeps us on our toes at all times because we will always have the “Red Wedding” in the back of our minds, knowing Tywin could strike at any…

    My favorite piece of literature is The Hunger Games trilogy, by Suzanne Collins. I first read this series of books in middle school and it was one of the first times that books really grabbed my attention while reading. Suzanne Collins’s writing style made you feel as if you were there along with Katniss and feeling all of the emotions she felt. The was a wide variety of thought and feelings discovered by Katniss as the story progressed. When there was a death in the story or love between two of the characters, the writing drew you in and had you wanting more. Along with the writing, the symbolism and deeper meaning in these books made a strong statement. There is statements made about income inequality, tyrannical government, and the struggle…

    The overall plot of the book is very clear and intriguing. There is a ton of backstabbing and treachery, especially by the Lannisters. The whole mystery at hand now is whether or not the Lannisters murdered Lord Arryn or not. The Starks received a letter that stated that Lady Starks sister believed there to have been foul play involved in his death. Not only did this happen but the Starks have evidence that shows that Tyrion Lannister had something to do with the attempted assassination of Bran. Not only this but Catelyn then had him arrested for these allegations. “This man came a guest into my house, and there conspired to murder my son , a boy of seven” (Martin 292). This strong claim has very little evidence to support it and is mostly a guess but the men loyal to Catelyn’s father followed her command and arrested Tyrion. This shows that not only can the Lannisters back stab but so can the Starks.…

    Littlefinger, one of the most morally ambiguous characters in A Game of Thrones, initially seems to be devoted to Catelyn Stark; however, when Ned asked for “the help you [Littlefinger] you promised Catelyn” (Martin, 1996, pg. 513) he was betrayed, indicating Littlefinger’s lack of loyalty. In contrast to Ned, Littlefinger only serves himself, so that his position on the small council and the power he wields within the realm are not jeopardised. While Cersei is loyal to her family and house, she does not fulfill her duty as a wife and Queen, nor is she loyal to her husband. Cersei’s treachery culminates in the death of Robert Baratheon “The queen would not have waited long in any case. Robert was becoming unruly, and she needed to be rid of him to free her hands to deal with his brothers” (Martin, 1996, pg.). No longer bound to a drunk, brutish husband and with her son reigning as the Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, Cersei’s moral discrepancies have placed her and the House Lannister in a position of higher power by the end of the novel as Joffrey sits “on the throne, with Cersei standing behind him whispering in his ear” (Martin, 1996, pg. ) Littlefinger’s doublecrossing and Cersei’s subversive attempts to gain power or solidify their position, are…
