The Lottery by Shirley Jackson and Tiger in the Snow by Daniel Wynn Barber are two short stories with similar themes and genres. Themes such as suspense are used by both authors and are used in various ways by the two authors to engage readers. The plot structure of both of these stories are very similar, with the conventional plot structure up until the falling action and conclusion. Both stories use the same narrative perspective however, the way it engages with the reader is vastly different…

Is Jackson a true American Hero? The Jacksonian Democracy was a period of American history that occurred roughly from the election of President Andrew Jackson in the late 1820’s all the way to the 1850’s. During this time many positive and negative things occurred during the United States history. A common argument that occurs even to this day from this time period is, was President Andrew Jackson a true American hero, or a true American Villain? Andrew Jackson is indeed not a true American…

The Trail of Tears The Cherokee Trail of Tears occurred in 1838, in response to the Indian Removal Act of the 1830’s. The forced Removal Act was signed into law on May 28, 1830, under the supremacy of Andrew Jackson. Jackson had long despised the Native population and went to great lengths to exclude them from their sovereignty. Shortly after, the U.S. government passed the Treaty of New Echota in 1835 to justify the policies of the removal. The treaty was the result of a mutual agreement…

starts and era of increased expansion and nationalism. In 1828, Andrew Jackson was elected as president and his main policies were anti-Indian and expansionist. To clear out more space for expansion, Jackson forced the six American Indian nations to relocate into American Indian reservations far away from the Atlantic Ocean (Doc D). The most notorious case of the Indian removal was the Trail of Tears, in which President Jackson ignored the ruling of the Supreme Court and forced the Cherokee…

Many Americans who wanted to push the Indians off viewed them as inferior and did not take interest on their lives. Andrew Jackson was a forceful proponent of Indian removal that had a paternalistic view on the Indians. President Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act which authorized him to give unsettled land to the Native Americans in exchange for their lands in existing state borders. These unsettled lands were called Indian…

about how the characters are feeling, their gestures, and how they communicate with one another. Jackson’s short story is considered to be one the most loved and hated stories of the 20th century. According to my point of view the main idea that Jackson attempts to communicate to the reader about life or human experience is that death is a common ending that happens unexpectedly to everyone, society is unbalanced, and a good friend can actually…

homelands gave their support to Andrew Jackson, an army general who had led military operations against the Native Americans and a supporter of their removal.

During the summer of the years 1133 to 1855 a famous fair came into London, most commonly known as the Bartholomew Fair. Hosted in Smithfield, otherwise known as the location popular for slaughterhouses and public executions, the fair was a trading event that attracted Londoners of all classes. Ben Jonson uses this factor to his advantage with his play entitled, “Bartholomew Fair.” The type of people, activities, and crimes that occur at the fair gives Jonson the opportunity to reflect on his…

For instance, in ‘Rosencrantz and Guildenstern’, the overarching theme of incomprehensibility and absurdity is explored through the coin-flipping scenes and throughout the play. In the opening scene, when Rosencrantz and Guildenstern flip a coin, it lands heads-up eighty-five times consecutively. Even then, although Guildenstern is ‘well alive to the oddity of it’, he attempts to make sense of the strange phenomenon, applying the mathematical law of probability to the problem and speculating…
