Krakauer has written about when a flash flood ruined Mccandless’s car, Chris took this as an opportunity to shed his unnecessary baggage. I think that a lot of people would like to shed their unnecessary baggage just as Chris did, but we often can not bear to part with trivial things. I would like to think that I could be rid of my cell phone, laptop, and a car. Similarly, I would not be able to lose books, or my friends and family. Cell phones in the twenty-first century are absolutely viewed…

In literature, reality and fantasy figures in an interesting way. The reader can be moved by situations in which characters find themselves.

In these pieces of literature, the author shows reality in nature, beauty, and money. London uses reality in his short story by admitting the character shouldn’t be alone in certain situations. The…

Realism…one of the many aspects artists alike strive for when creating pieces of art. Personally, I’ve taken up many art classes during my time in high school and creating a piece that would give out that “wow” factor that every viewer hopes to experience whilst looking at a piece of art is quite difficult. Sculptors of the past wanted to achieve this very same effect when delivering their sculptures to the general public. During the period of Classical Greece and the Hellenistic period,…

Have you ever thought differently about something after reading a novel, even if it was not real? An author can say a lot about something through his works of fiction.

The internet is an incredibly powerful source for news and information, but sadly not everything on the internet is reliable. Lots of things you view online may appear to be genuine, but often they are not. “Fake news is any news story or hoax created deliberately to misinform, confuse, or deceive the reader,” There are two sides to the fake news coin. The term fake news can be used to discredit news that is unfavorable or embarrassing. The term can also be used to describe the intentional…

gradient manner instead of the stark dichromatic relationship that we originally inferred. For example, three pieces of poetic work published by separate authors offer the readers an insightful dialogue between the differing interpretations of the reality of working-class laborers in the eighteenth century. When viewing the works individually, each author presents their story based on their own personal beliefs and biases. Although through the comparison of these biases, the readers gain a…

One Man’s Truth For the past twenty years, literary theorists have challenged the notion of truth in autobiographical texts. Indeed, they have even asserted that memoirs are merely representations of events, perspectives and experiences.
