Edwidge Danticat Ghost Summary
I picked the story Ghosts by Edwidge Danticat from the unit 3.
I chose this story because after I read the reviews I found that most of my classmates enjoyed the story and found it enlightening.
The review of Sarrah Fallaha impressed me because she described the story in the same way that I saw it .
"I like this story because it represents what the poor people feel and how they live in poor areas. Also how the wealthy people have an authority to make mischievous things to the weak persons" (Fallaha,2016).

I agree with Sarah discussion , because when i read the story I understood the same moral as Sarah did, i liked the story because "it is about the injustice suffered by the

    Furthermore, the play author August Wilson was cleaver when introducing Sutter’s character. When first introduced the author only implied that Sutter was a land owner that had died falling in a well by the Yellow Dog ghost. There was no indication of Sutter race or of any relationship between the families. Only after Bernice had saw Sutter ghost in the house did the author give note to Sutter’s family being slave master and owning Bernice and Boy Willie family. I believe the author wanted the audience to understand and attempt to relate to how the African-American family thought they could never escape their history of slavery.…

    The short story that I chose was "The story of an hour by Kate Chopin. The story is about Mrs, Mallards sister Josephine telling her about her husbands death. Mrs, Mallard took the death very hard, and was very depressed for sometime. Her husband Brently was in a railroad accident, and his friend Richard was in the newsroom when he read the list of the men who lost their life. When she found out she wanted to be alone, and asked that no one followed her up into her room. She would stare out the window and just look out at the view. She smells the trees, and hears a peddler screaming out. She is taking the death of her husband very hard.…

    Furthermore, the theme and conflict of the stories were developed by the use of situational irony. In “The Possibility of Evil” the irony of the effect of the letters on the town creates a greater evil in society rather than eliminate it, through the irony the conflict of Ms.Strangeworth vs society is created. In “The Lottery” the irony of Tessie Hutchinson conforming to the tradition and then objecting as she is stoned to death creates the theme “the dangers of following traditions blindly”. Looking at the picture, the theme and conflicts of these stories cause the reader/society to question morals and to looks for flaws in oneself before looking in others. Doing so will help accomplish Shirley Jackson’s underlying message to improve the shortcomings…

    Adam Hochschild’s “King Leopold’s Ghost” is an account of a man’s rise of power who was very cruel and did unimaginable things. When I began reading, I wasn’t sure where the novel was going, but I soon caught on to what Hochschild was revealing. As the story begins to unfold he tells a story of King Leopold II of Belgium who managed to seize land next to the Congo River in Africa. King Leopold used political manipulation and lies to get what he wanted. King Leopold had everyone fooled that he was a humanitarian and he was in the Congo for the greater good, but that was not the case. He claimed that civilizing the Congo would keep out “Arab slave- traders” to gain support of people, but Leopold wanted something else. Leopold was very greedy, and his greed resulted in the slaying of millions of innocent people.…

    I think that the message of the book is somewhere along the lines of following your dreams and how hard work pays of. The main characters have in common that they all live simple lives with not much luxury, either because they work with their dream job or because they can’t work with their dream job. This simple way of life combined with their dreams is what makes the story. Without this the story could not take place.…

    Euthanasia, “also called mercy killing. The act of putting to death painlessly or allowing to die,as by withholding extreme medical measures, a person or animal suffering from incurable ,especially painful,disease or condition.” (Dictionary) . Physician assisted suicide is a personal choice patients in great pain chose to find relief. By law in most places of the world, it is illegal for a doctor to take part in helping someone end their own life. A doctor or physician can go to jail for many years or possibly even for life for doing what their jobs are supposed to be dedicated to - helping people. It should be common sense to realize it is one’s own civil right to decide what to do with his or her own body, life, and fate. If a person would…
