The book that I read was The House of Hades. The author is Rick Riordan. It is the 4th book in the Heroes of Olympus series. But it starts off from where the Percy Jackson series ended, so it is technically the 9th book. This book or series is played off from Greek and Roman mythology. This specific book was published in October 8, 2013. Currently, the 10th book is now out. The intended audience for this book are teenagers. The genre is fantasy adventure. But since this is the 9th book…

In order to play a villain, an actor must devote himself or herself completely to the role. The role of the villain is compelling for the reason…

The short stories “Lessons of Love” by Judith Ortiz Cofer and “The Skating Party” by Mena Summers emphasize the illusions of love and how it affects the main characters, of whom are impeded by their feelings in such a way that prevents them from understanding and processing the situation as they would have in any other circumstance. Both are blind to the egotistical agendas of their love interest until the conclusion, and regardless of such neither character regrets the situation or outcome.…

In this essay I will cover the following on the protagonist in the play a Streetcar Named Desire: the most distinctive traits and values of the character, what motivates the character, how the character creates internal and/or external conflict, and which stage directions revel the most about the…

A Good Man is Hard to Find in a Cathedral In works of literature, authors who use various forms of literary tools such as characterization, dialogue, and symbolism to help the readers understand the complexities within the stories. From the authors’ perspective, stories that have every detail and plot laid out for the reader will exemplify a poorly written piece of work. In the story “Cathedral” by Raymond Carver and “A Good Man is Hard to Find” by Flannery O’Conner, the main characters had to…

Students have to start doing book reports in the third grade and do them through high school.

People are like Lotus Flowers. Lotus Flowers blossom into something beautiful, even if they only grow in mud. Our mud is the obstacles and constant challenges that we face in life. In order to grow and gain wisdom, we must have mud first. Recently, I read a book by John Updike called "A&P" and a book by Francisco Jimenez called "Inside Out". The book "A&P" was about a young man named Sammy who worked in a grocery store. He was a character who was very observing and opinionated. The other story,…

The Coens brothers did a good job of illustrating a typical western movie but at the same time they added a few twist and turns of their own that makes it different from a western movie. Many western movies follow a similar path. There is always a bad guy that rides into town and tries to start trouble and usually the sheriff is the good guy that saves the day. Before the sheriff saves the day there is usually a big shoot out in which the bad guy is killed and then everything is resolved. A…
