Little Things Are Big And A Retrieve Reformation
The two stories I choose are "Little Things Are Big", and "A Retrieve Reformation". I choose "Little things are big" because it demonstrates the difficulties of trying to fit in a society. I also choose it because it interests me to know what those difficulties are. I also choose "A Retrieve Reformation" because it is told by a person who actually went to jail. What I would like to find out by reading this story is if the person who is trying to open the safes get caught or if he escapes. I like both but I'm going to choose 'Little things are big" because I would like to know how difficult it was for Puerto Ricans to fit in with

    Summary and Analysis of Rasha

    The first story, in How Does It Feel to Be a Problem by Moustafa Bayoumi, talks about Rasha, a Muslim, and her outlook about her family and her life story about being a problem in America. It all happened early in the morning while sleeping on February of 2002, lights were flashing on their house and she and her whole family were being handcuffed by the INS, US Marshals, and the FBI. The FBI agent told her that she and her family were being investigated for any terrorist connections from the 9/11 attack. She knew that this was not an accidental arrest because the team knew about their status and identifications. Rasha stated, “The man seemed to know everything about the family, including the fact that Rasha’s two youngest brothers, both minors, were U.S. citizens,” (Bayoumi 21). Then the whole family was separated and they were taken in to different prisons. Rash, her sister, and mom had to be stripped search, wore converse shoes and beige jumpsuits, and they were taken in to prison cells. Rasha thought that her family would get separated forever or get deported back to the Middle East. In the end, they were free to go and they were reunited with their whole family. Rasha and her family did not realize how bad racism was until this “accident”. When she was in prison with her family, she experienced racial slurs by the guards. Rasha found friends and lawyers to help her and her family get out of prison. Rasha and her family were eventually cleared and were sent home. When she saw the American in the restaurant after her release, she went up to him and got mad at him for making her mother cry back in prison. Rasha stated, “You don’t recognize me?” All the scenes when he’d yelled at her, when he’d made her cry, when he’d made her mother cry, flashed in her mind. His expression didn’t change. “Remember?” she said, her voice rising. “MDC? You don’t remember…

    Mericans By Cisneros Summary

    I was most drawn to “Mericans” as the story provokes a gratitude of thought, displays the rawness of cultural diversity through the Mexican church and resonates with the innocence of childhood through the eyes of Micaela. The author, Cisneros, brings to life the full reality of the livelihood of Mexican Americans through this story. In “Mericans” we are offered an opportunity to look inside the family dynamics of a Mexican family and how they are often misunderstood through their custom. We are also afforded the opportunity to visualize a church that plays a cornerstone in their culture. This literary display is why I feel that the story “Mericans” is the best choice for nomination.…

    Within these stories, we also get a glimpse on the effects a conviction and imprisonment can have on a person's family, on their future, and on themselves. As for the setting, there is no easy way to exactly places this due to the fact that there are 6 stories told and they job from location to location quite often. Yet one important aspect of the setting is that they are all in America. America comes with a class and race hierarchy.…

    Compare and Contrast: 'Always a Motive' and 'Gentlemen, Your Verdict'

    Recently I’ve read two very good short stories: Always a Motive (by Dan Ross) and Gentlemen, Your Verdict (by Michael Bruce). Always a Motive is about a young man, named Joe Manetti, who is accused of kidnapping. Gentlemen, Your Verdict is about five men who are questioned about the murder of sixteen crewmembers. While both Always a Motive and Gentlemen, Your Verdict are written in third person and pull at the readers emotions, Always a Motives theme is how people tend to see things only from one perspective and things can change in an instant while Gentlemen, Your Verdicts theme focuses on the justification of murder in certain circumstances.…

    Maus And Trifles Analysis

    It was a very interesting read of both the stories I have chosen. In this essay I have chosen to compare Art Spiegelman’s From Maus and Trifles by Susan Glaspell because even when they have many things differently, I have found some things in common. Their way of writing is different, they way they tell their story is different but their passion into the story and the concept of the stories I have found them to have something in common.…

This happened in the sixteenth century, mostly because of one very important person martin Luther.

    Sonny's Blues Vs Find

    I decided to compare the two short stories, "Sonny's Blues," by James Baldwin and "A Good Man is Hard to Find," by Flannery O'Connor. Both stories deal with characters learning to deal with their definition, values and identities also to see the way in which the narrator in "Sonny's Blues" and the grandmother in "A Good Man is Hard to Find" both are forced to deal with their prejudice that they have against other characters in the story and coming to a realization that they understand the wrong of their prejudice.…

    The Reformation Dbq

    The Reformation was a large, unique movement away from the Catholic Church in 16th and 17th century Europe. Starting with Martin Luther being the first to officially oppose the theology of the Catholic Church, he posted his work, 95 Theses, to the door of the Wittenberg Castle Church. This act allowed for multiple movements away from the Catholic Church, consequently creating multiple new religions, some of which remain today. Some movements began with the sole idea of rectifying the Christian religion, while others were seen as an opportunity for gain of power or in umbrage of a political adversary. Due to the unmitigated diversity of each distinct reforming sect, the Reformation as a whole is to be considered as both a religious…

    A Perfect Day For Bananafish Essay

    The central idea of the book Nine Stories that I would like to write about is the idea that the people in these stories are good people going through hard times and are having trouble dealing with life. In looking at all the characters in each story, they all relate to each other the sense that they are good people, leading the average normal life with families and jobs or schooling but they are each going through personal struggles that life is offering them and they are having trouble dealing with it. In some cases, the character in the story fails to realize that they are struggling, however their actions lead the reader to believe otherwise.…

    Caring Makes Us Human Analysis

    Flipping from essay to essay, I find no interest in any of the stories presented within NPR’s Special Series collection. Such a drag it is to read an entire essay and ultimately deciding that I find no attractiveness in it gets annoying. Then, after 17 long, uninteresting essays, this one, unique story catches my eye. Scanning this essay, it screamed ‘plot twist’ and ‘irony’! “Caring Makes Us Human” by Troy Chapman has to be one of the best choices for an essay to be read by ENGL 1301 students. This essay brings the reader in with an uncommon story, mentions a problem thought of by many people, and ends with information that can change the common perspective of many based on the writer’s studies. It is not only well structured and interpretable for many ages, but attractive to readers because it discusses a problem not constantly discussed by anyone, it a situation you wouldn’t expect, and from a person many people typically wouldn’t believe has the education to address this problem; an inmate himself.…

    The Diary of Anne Frank vs. the Hiding Place

    The Hiding Place will be the first story I talk about. This story is important because it tells about how a house of Christians became a secret hiding place for over 10 underground Jews. What happened was an older Christian woman and her husband felt the pain of the Jews and then let them hide out in their house along with the woman’s sister and child. Then the Green Police came to their house and arrested them with only a large amount of rations cards as proof. Then once the police had taken them away the Jews escaped and made their way out of town where most of them escaped to freedom. Years later a fault in the Nazis system gave one of the women taken away the chance to live.…
