Suitcase

My watch read 3:15 a.m as I walked into a room full of tired parents and anxious students! As I looked around I wasn’t sure what surprised me more, the fact that I was on time or that I didn’t have the largest suitcase! Krista and I dragged our luggage around the gym looking for our red Grosse Ile bags filled with shirts and sweatshirts. After a good five minutes, we found our bags and joined Mara and Elle in the center of the gym. We got so caught up in conversation, that we barely even noticed the rapidly growing line for luggage check. Ms. Lehmann had the “pleasure” of going through all my stuff, including a suitcase, a carry-on, and a backpack filled with food. My suitcase felt as if I was hauling around a couple of bowling balls,…

Everywhere you look in life there are different sorts of symbols and conflicts, especially in literature that’s what makes reading it so interesting, the things these authors can do with words.

In this paper, I am going to give you some examples of symbols and conflicts in these works and my responses/thoughts on those topics. The Blizzard was written in 2006, in this…

person’s appearance and careers and the lives they live. In a specific passage in The Catcher in the Rye, Holden makes internal comments on the suitcases that nuns carry. He describes them as “very inexpensive-looking suitcases” and not made of “genuine leather”. Although Holden states “it isn't important” what suitcases one carries, Holden can begin to “hate somebody” based on the type of suitcase they have. Rather than to leave a grudge unexplained, Holden continues, connecting this idea to…

For example within Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, there is a large amount of positive and upbeat mood running throughout the story. In comparison to this, in The Suitcase Kid, the mood running throughout has more of a negative tone, with the emphasis on suffering. The jokey tone established by exclamatives might not be so suited to the male characters. In short, I think CCF uses more exclamatives because of its more assertive male character and its jokey tone. These are arguably the…

Fiction reveals these two sides of human nature with techniques that authors use to help the reader get the theme or idea that the text portrays and it is important that readers understand what these revelations can tell them about themselves. In these short stories, “Ambush” by Roger Woodward, the “Tell-Tale Heart” by Edgar Allen Poe, “The Treasure of Lemon Brown” by…
