Ashputtle and Devdas are to great topics that I think would be good to write about. I say that because they have similar symbolic archetypes a like. Also both stories have good themes in their stories. Then both of the stories have important symbolic archetypes that were key to know about in each story. In Ashputtle and Devdas they both have Heaven vs. Hell as a symbolic archetype the difference between the two is that in the end Ashputtle gets her true love and in Devdas doesn’t. In Ashputtle the Heaven is going to the really nice ball dances that her stepmother doesn’t want her going to. The Heaven in Devdas is where his parent’s lives until he leaves the house then the Heaven is the Brothel because that’s where he spends all his time. The different symbolic archetype between both of the stories is that in Ashputtle there is a Magic Weapon. The Magic Weapon in Ashputtle is the tree by her mother’s grave that gave her all of those pretty dresses. The Heaven vs. Hell in Ashputtle and Devdas are the same in some ways one way is that both of their family’s don’t want them to be with their true loves. The difference is that at the end of the day for Ashputtle she got to be with her true love for Devdas he doesn’t he ends up dying. The lesson that was supposed to be learned in Ashputtle is treat people how you would want to be treated. In Devdas the message is let people make their own choices because it’s there life. The themes in Ashputtle are outside at the tree, the ball room, and Ashputtle place of living which is in ashes. The themes in Devdas are his family’s house, Perro’s house, and the Brothel. The themes are in Ashputtle are there for different reasons like the tree is to help her get things done and look beautiful, the ball room is where she gets to show off her beauty, and Ashputtle place of living is to show how bad her stepmother treats her. In Devdas his family’s house is where

    The book I chose to do this project on was the book by Wes Moore titled “the other Wes Moore”. The reason I had chosen this is because I was able to relate to it a lot more than any of the other books in the choices that were made present to me. Wes Moore does a great job in describing how easy one can make decisions that have long term reactions in everyone’s lives. This book was not one merely to tell a good story but one to educate of the many issues that we face in America and to perhaps change the minds of some of the youth out there. The book captures you into the lives of not only the author but that of the other Wes Moore who is a felon in prison serving a life time sentence for the part he served in the shooting of a police officer. The book starts you from the very beginning of their lives so that you can track down from the beginning where and how these two men ended up on the path that lead them where they are today and where that dramatic split occurred between their two destinies. The book does a great job of attacking our pre-notions of the book because the author Wes Moore’s life wasn’t all glamour and perfect and the other Wes Moore’s life wasn’t all in the streets filled with violence and crime as one would have though and thus making the book all the more interesting.…

    The Boy’s job is symbolic of hell because he works where the smoke from fire escapes. Fire is a representative of hell and this aspect adds contrast of how he went from working in “hell” in the first poem to going to heaven in the second poem. Additionally, Blake adds diction throughout the poem like “warm”, “fear”, “coffins”, and “white hair” which all have to do with either death or hell. On the other side of the contrast, there’s sentences like “they rise upon the clouds”, “he’d have god for his father”, and “shine in the sun” which is obvious imagery of heaven.…
