In a competition between man and nature, nature more often claims victory. Pitted against tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions, nothing man made is permanent. In an excerpt taken from Ann Petry's novel, The Street, the main character Lutie Johnson is antagonized by the tumultuous winds that inhabit the town, along with the frigid cold. Using such literary elements as dark imagery, descriptive selection to detail and appalling personification, Petry successfully captures Johnson's relationship with the urban setting.…

Abcarian and Klotz define the human condition as “Man strives to give order and meaning to his life to reduce the mystery and unpredictability that constantly threaten him. Life is infinitely more complex and surprising than we imagine, and the categories we establish to give it order and meaning are, for the most part, “ Momentary stays against confusion. “ At any time the equilibrium of our lives, the comfort image of ourselves and the world around us, may be disrupted suddenly by something new, forcing us into painful reevaluation. These disruptions create pain, anxiety and even terror but also wisdom and awareness.” All people go through a process. A disruption occurs, creates an emotion, and calls for an action. Once action is done, the person gains knowledge. Montresor, “The Cask of Amontillado” by Edgar Allen Poe, (rpt. In Thomas R.

Having the will to survive is the physiological force to fight, either mentally or physically, for one’s survival. Ellen shows this skill throughout the novel by dealing with child abuse. One example of this is her ability to cope with her father who is a self-destructive alcoholic. In the novel, Ellen is left to live alone with her father after her mother sadly passed away. This makes her life a lot worse because when her father is drunk he expects her to take her mother’s place. For example, one night when Ellen was at home her father tries to grab her and actually calls her by her mother's name, “Get away from me...That is not me. Oh no that was her name. Do not say her name to me. That was her name. I am Ellen” (Gibbons 45). This scene…
