    As the story opens, already the reader is confronted with the topic of concealing the truth. The narrator speaks to a woman who discusses her abnormal childhood. The woman claims formal speech was not possible in her household due to her father’s profession and also due to the time of war. Griffin writes, “There were nuclear missiles standing just blocks from where she lived. But her father never spoke about them. Only after many years away from home did she learn what those weapons were.” (Griffin, 299). This family’s secrets affected this girl’s childhood dramatically to the point where normal, casual conversation was unusual for her as an adult. As a result of this, the family ended up keeping secrets from themselves about who they truly were. A close family relationship could not have been possible under those conditions.…

It may also come willingly or unwillingly affecting a person's mind or a person's actions. A conflict can either be a blessing or a curse. This essay will show how 3 books with different conflicts changed a character's life or the characters' way of thinking.…

    In particular, just after one of her more innocent-sounding remarks about marriage, the narrator states, “I get unreasonably angry with John sometimes. I’m sure I never used to be so sensitive. I think it is due to this nervous condition” (Gilman, 71). Although she says it is probably due to her condition, the reader cannot help but wonder why, only a few paragraphs later, she reveals that despite her love for writing, “He hates to have me write a word” (Gilman, 72). This narrator is clearly feeling trapped in a marriage that does not allow her freedom. Meanwhile, as a man, her husband is free to come and go. This inability for her to express herself in a meaningful way eventually leads her to associate herself with the woman in the wallpaper who looks to be, like the narrator, behind bars or in a cage.…

    A. From my experiences reading novels, dramas, poetry, and short stories, I think the purpose of fiction is to entertain; to provoke thought. I think students study fiction because it is very entertaining, and can teach many different lessons. People read fiction stories because it lets them get lost in a story that’s not theirs. I believe people tell stories to express their imagination and thoughts.…
