    The character in this story, Sister, seems to be in a way jealous and a little selfish, but with good reason, she has a sister, Stella-rondo, who has always been everyone's favorite and everyone would believe everything she said, from her saying that Sister was "one-sided to her,( Stella-Rondos ) "adopted" child. Sister has every reason to not like Stella-Rondo. Everyone else in the house seems to think that Sister is indeed very jealous of Stella-Rondo, and Sister can not even defend herself because that would have just verified everyone's point. Although it is a little comedic, the whole story shows bits and pieces of anyone's everyday lives. Jealousy, stubbornness, spitefulness, and sibling rivalry are the main things implicated in this story.…

    From the beginning of Marilynne Robinson's Housekeeping, the house was a symbol of family and wellness (wholeness) and was an important entity that interconnected all of the main characters of Housekeeping. Sylvie, on the other hand, was a ragtag thirty-five-year-old woman that had recently come back to this house to care for her nieces Ruth and Lucille. Before Sylvie’s return, Ruth and Lucille had lived relatively normal lives, being very average at school, playing outside on the frozen lake, just getting by in the small town that is Fingerbone. It wasn’t until the passing of their grandmother that they had found themselves with Sylvie. Upon first contact with Sylvie, she had a strong transient nature about her as if it was dug deep down…

On their way to Molching, Liesel's younger brother Werner dies, and she is traumatized, experiencing nightmares about him for months.

    Have you ever felt trapped? Over the first semester we read Of Mice and Men, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, and 1984. Each story presented to me people who are unable to progress or who were or felt trapped, some of them as a result of their own decisions, and others due to outside forces. Also those characters who eventually break free from their entrapments in these stories do so by cultivating some kind of awareness. Many of the characters don't even realize that they are trapped, but most have a difficult way of escaping. In this essay I am going to be writing about the characters and there traps and a way they escape or they could've escaped, Another thing I am going to be talking about is how the society in North Korea is like the society in the book 1984. Next, Im going to be talking about how animals are trapped too. Lastly, I will talk about is my relatable experience of feeling trapped with the book Of Mice and Men.…
