How "Araby," "The Hunger Artist," and popular TV's "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" relate.

The Araby is a short narrative telling the story of a young boy, pursuing to get the love of his friend’s sister. The un-named boy lives day by day fantasizing about it. On a daily basis he wakes up to watch the girl as she leaves the house, he follows her when going to school and at some point by passes her. This goes on every day without a word to her. He is overly excited when the girl finally speaks to him. He even could not remember what he had said to her, when she asked whether he was going to the bazaar. He is passionate about the girl and inwardly seeks her acceptance. That is why he offers to get her a gift from the bazaar, and strives so hard to get to the bazaar for the sake of getting the gift. On the other hand, the Hunger artist is a story centered on a man who fasts professionally for art and entertainment. There is a similarity between the hunger strike and the Araby in the story is centered on a passionate person who aims at achieving a goal. In addition, in his case the goal is to continue fasting until he gets he desires. Similarly, the story behind ‘Here comes honey boo boo’ is represented by a passionate girl who participates in a beauty pageant contest. Despite the fact that the girl comes from a background, which does not fit the qualification of contesting because of lack of sophistication, the young girl is passionate, and the family is determined to help her. She is unrefined and unprepared unlike her fellow contestants who come from able backgrounds, which prepare them well. That is why she keeps losing each contest, but this does not discourage her. She strives to be her best, and this passion is what drives her. Hence, passion is the key theme depicted in the three stories

The three art-works are centered on artists with desires that they pursue. To get what they desire they are willing to beyond their means. They are willing to go beyond their

    I read two essays, “Violent Media Numbs Viewers to Pain of Others”, by Diane Swanbrow and “Hate Violence? Turn It Off!” by Tim Goodman. In the first essay the author states that violent media exposure can reduce helping behavior. Basically meaning that people that watch violent media are less willing to help others when it’s needed because they are used to the violence and adapt to it. In the second essay, the author states that people feel that watching violent movies is a problem and is tired of parents complaining that it is damaging to children. Tim Goodman feels that parents should stop complaining and turn off the violence then through child lock and several other ways instead of getting rid of it completely.…

    In Yusef Komunyakaa’s “Facing It” and Wislawa Szymborska’s “End and Beginning” the poet’s writing is based around the central subject of war. The central theme of the poems is the emotional impact that the war brings out. Both poems differ in persona, yet set the same tone of sadness through their poetic language and poetic form. Both poems address the after effects of war however “Facing It” is more personal, whereas “End and Beginning” focuses on the experience in a broader omniscient way.…

    Joyce Carol Oates wrote, “reading is the sole means by which we slip, involuntarily, often helplessly, into another’s skin, another’s voice, another’s soul.” This quote more or less sums up the sole main purpose of why many people read fiction. The reasons why a reader likes or dislikes a work of fiction may seem to be random, or even shallow, such as its ability to grab attention or keep a reader hooked with on stereotypical drama. However, when a work is actually examined further, deeper levels of understanding can be discovered. There are always conscious decisions made by authors of fiction in order to captivate the reader, in connecting to help them to connect to the characters, being intrigued to create intrigue by the narration itself, and being romanced to romance them by the style of writing. By reacting to these conscious artistic decisions, a reader can decide whether or not they are emotionally pierced or struck by a specific work. One way this attachment is achieved by the author is by creating an archetype, or something that many people can recognize or relate to. This can be in the ‘type’ of fiction the novel or story falls into, or the characteristics one can notice in a stereotypical character type. (Question: Why would an author want to mask real meaning in something that repels reader?) When this recognized archetype is looked at initially, or on a surface level, it can cause a bad negative reaction in the reader. ; Archetypes are very likely to result in a dismissal of the story because the reader feels that they have already ‘been there, read that.’ They are repelled by the work due to its boring nature and repetition. This makes it all the more powerful when an author can use the illusion of archetypes to mask the deeper meaning of a story or depth of a character. When they are looked at in further detail, and examined very more closely, certain illusions of an archetype created intentionally by the author can be very useful. By breaking…

    The inverted pyramid is a method of organization in which facts are presented in descending order of importance. The writer prioritizes that factual information to be conveyed in the news stories by importance, the most essential pieces of information are offered in the first line, which is called the lead. This usually addresses the five w’s+H (who, what, when, why, where and how). The writer then provides the rest of the information and supporting contextual details in descending order of importance, leaving the least essential material for the very end. This leaves the completed story in the form of an inverted pyramid, with the most important elements or the base of the story on top.…
