Analysis Of Invitation To The Game By Monica Hughes
Have you ever imagined of what people’s lives in the future might look like? Did you ever think about how different or similar they might be? In this book Invitation To The Game By Monica Hughes, the main character Lisse has a very unusual life compared to mine.
The school Lisee goes to is also where she has lived for the past ten years. Lisse just graduated and there aren’t any jobs available for her so she is an ‘unemployed’. There are not any available jobs for practically everyone since robots do practically every job now. So her and a few of her friends will be living together in their designated area. In this essay I will discuss how Lisses and my life are entirely different but slightly the same.

    As I read through several reviews, I found it amusing how many people assumed the main focus of The Chaperone would be over Louise Brooks. It was pretty obvious to me, by the title and summary that it was going to be about “The Chaperone”. Due to this reason, I chose Mandy Boles’ review to be one of my three. The first things Mandy noticed, was that…

    In “The Most Dangerous Game”, the author uses many methods to develop the characters and how they see the world, themselves, and others around them. First, Rainsford gets stranded on an island after he is talking to a friend on a yacht he was on about how the hunter is dominant and how the animals hunted do not feel anything which could be foreshadowing a change in the story and what it’s based on. After he arrives on the island, Rainsford immediately goes and sees a sign of struggle in bushes and hears shots fired. This, and the way that Rainsford was able to follow the tracks of the hunter, shows that Rainsford is a fairly efficient hunter; that is, showing the audience what the main idea of the story most likely is, which the hunter vs. the hunted.…

    Thinking about everything I have learned from reading “Monique,” I would say it is one of the greatest books I have read. Kris Holloway did an awesome job with how she made you feel about Monique and Mali. I liked everything from when she spoke about child birthing to the culture status for women in Mali.…

    The Welcome Table, by Alice Walker is a story filled with religious symbolism. All through the story, the lady is slightly fazed by the pretentious and conceited congregation that is time after time piercing her with ridiculing looks of disdain. It is only by force that the men feel duty-bound to get rid of her by force. As it stands in this story traditional society is absolutely wrong yet unapologetic. Religion is the theme of this story. Still, while in the analytical process of this story one will notice that it has several symbolic analogies where a cycle of good, evil, and finally rewarded faith come to fruition.…

    By all standard space-time calculations, the four members of the family occupy the same three-bedroom home in Van Nuys, Calif., but psychologically each exists in his or her own little universe. Georgina, 51, who works for a display-cabinet maker, is tidying up the living room as Bronte works, not that her daughter notices. Stephen, 49, who juggles jobs as a squash coach, fitness trainer, event planner and head of a cancer charity he founded, has wolfed down his dinner alone in the kitchen, having missed supper with the kids. He, too, typically spends the evening on his cell phone and returning e-mails--when he can nudge Bronte off the computer. "One gets obsessed with one's gadgets," he concedes.…

    The degree to which lives and actions are connected poses endless questions regarding the destiny of society. Destiny can be thought of in a few ways, either that it cannot be controlled by mere humans, that one is in charge of one owns destiny, or that destiny is a complicated network of actions, people, and circumstances that result in a destiny that is affected by the person themselves and an innumerable amount of other people. The Crooked Maid by Dan Vyleta and The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt propose that destiny is a network that results in an interconnectedness of society by employing major and minor characters, setting, events both personal and global, and the structure to make this point.…
