readers would predict that the story would have a feminist theme. And they would be right. However, the way that the story’s author, Susan Glaspell, establishes this theme is far more unexpected. On its surface, the story itself is a rather disturbing murder-mystery about a woman who is believed to have murdered her husband. However, observant readers will take note of the subtleties of the story that establish the theme. So, yes, “A Jury of Her Peers” is, at its heart, a story about women…

humanity are meaningful, culture and beliefs are important, a positive personality, compassionate and perseverance can redeem your spirit. My chosen prompt for the literary analysis is writing prompt number four and the first sentence is – “In some stories, characters…

After pre-reading the memoir, I now know that the writer, Olga Lengyel, is telling a horrific true story. A story that she herself experienced in the concentration camp at Auschwitz and Birkenau. The memoir paints a picture of a nightmare that the writer had to live through without being able to wake up. The cover of the book seems to be a picture of the concentration camp.
