RESPONSE JOURNAL #2: Name: Aashan Meiyappan Book: ZORRO Author: Johnston McCulley Completion: 2/3 of Novel Date: 03/23/2015 The novel “Zorro”, written by Johnston McCulley is a fairly adequate one. Upon completion of approximately two-thirds of the book, I have come under realization that the story while the story was exceptionally fast-paced and chivalrous one, it now is gradually losing its momentum. However, in retrospect, I conjecture that the flawless artistry and the coherent…

needed to have a broad definition of the novel to explain the variety existing during the early decades of the 18th century. At that time ‘novel’ primarily referred to short stories dealing with romance and intrigue. Nevertheless this classification does not suit the text of Defoe. It appears as a travelogue and disobediently traces the set rules despite his denials. The story lacks the packing of events and narration in content that made the other novels of Defoe innovative and groundbreaking.…

difficult. The novels that were given as choices all had an element of adventure and a main theme differing from female empowerment to what it means to live in poverty. I decided to review three of the novels that were given within the summer reading list. The novels I chose were To Kill a Mockingbird, Native Son, and The Bean Trees. Each of the books could be related to, making a reader sympathize with the characters and feel a connection to the characters struggles within the novel. I found…

A hero, according to Merriam-Webster, is a person who is admired for great or brave acts or fine qualities. Despite this novel not being one of action or adventure, it takes its own definition of a hero due to the main character, John. By his actions within the novel, I will prove that John shows the qualities of selflessness, courage, and humility. True heroes put others ahead of them, without an expectation of payback or self-gratification. After the discovery of the events leading up to…

The novels, To Kill a Mockingbird, Lord of the Flies and “The Scarlet Ibis” all emphasize the importance of change. In the novel, To Kill a Mockingbird,…

Shane In Jack Schaefer’s short novel Shane it's about well a man named shane as it might imply. Every character in Joe’s Farm is selfless in their own way. This novel is an unforgettable adventure from front to back. Personally my favorite part is when Shane meets Jr. and Jr. has a unloaded gun and Shane’s reflexes kick in and he pulls out his gun and then Joe sorts everything out the reason I like this scene so much is because Shane thinks someone would give their like 10 year old kid a gun.…
