Love Story

For my final paper, I choose to read the novel “The Left Hand of Darkness” written by Ursula K. Le Guin.

The main character, Ai, goes to a foreign plant and tried to get the people of the planet to…

The mother tells us she is a "big-boned woman with rough, man-working hands" (876). We can see a large rough woman, who wears overalls during the day and a flannel nightgown when she goes to bed. Because she compares herself to a man many times, we can picture what she looks like. She and her daughters are black, but she describes Dee as being lighter than her other daughter, Maggie.

Two such stories that revolve around this theme are William Shakespeare’s ‘Much Ado About Nothing’ and Emily Bronte’s ‘Wuthering Heights’, and both are considered classic stories. However, the relationships in both stories end very differently due to how love is approached by the characters. Love also has different meanings in the…

Something Mrs. Grose was always worried about when Peter Quint still worked for the family was how close he and Miles were.…

that I didn’t like. The logos for that story was dumb and the characters had me ripping my hair off during my read. Same thing with “The Red Bow,” that story had me paper gritting my teeth due to its logos as well. “The College Rape Overcorrection” was something that could’ve been toned down a bit in terms of listing out statistics. “Shame and Survival” had me rolling my eyes because Monica Lewinsky was the publisher of the article and it felt too biased. Stories like “This Old Man”, “America’s…
