Experience point

Experiences early in life enrich one’s wisdom. Wisdom is defined as the soundness of an action or decision based upon an experience. Jerry, the 11 year old protagonist from “Through the Tunnel” by Doris Lessing, gained wisdom when he completed his journey of going through the tunnel. He gained wisdom by realizing that he should not have been concerned about the thoughts or actions of others, by realizing that patience is needed to complete a task, and by realizing that some things in life are…

Though Blur’s Parklife is critically acclaimed, the album is honestly just general Britpop, and it's really nothing special. Not only does it draw most of its sounds from the likes of David Bowie and the Beatles, the overall sound of the album really didn't have any cohesion. Instead of the album having one similar tone that flows throughout, or two tones with a transition in the middle that actually makes sense, Parklife is just a collection of songs that would probably sound better together if…

physical way and emotional way. The use of first-person narration is efficacious in conveying the message in a powerful way. The narrator created her mother’s character by using stories that she most likely heard from her mother and built it from her point of view. This aided me as a reader to visualise her mother’s character in her perspective, a daredevil, but a loving, caring and heroic mother.

Adichie, she describes her experiences with stereotypes, or “single stories”, she has heard about other cultures and her own that have created well-meaning but uneducated societies all across the world. With these experiences, she gives the point that there shouldn’t be a single story to anyone because they underestimate the victims of it and overlook their true stories of who they are. She proves this point by using a powerful yet playful tone. Adichie first describes her point on the effects…

Literature uses the solitude to create strength and society follows with that prophecy as people believe it takes strength that loneliness brings. The belly of the whale only emphasizes the commitment they attach to themselves at this point since the old world has become out of reach and they must focus on finding the exit of this predicament in which they find themselves and when they do it obviously, they will find a new world that leads to the continuation of the journey and get around the…
