Broken beyond repair…

Sergeant Casey John Risley: amputee, war Veteran, recovering alcoholic.

Jealousy consumes him. Bitterness leaves him pushing everyone he loves away.

Casey watched as his best friend found the other half of his soul in a strong young woman and until that moment he hadn’t realized how much he craved that same completion.

Having demons constantly lurking in the back of his mind, he doesn’t think he’ll get the salvation the right woman’s arms can give him. He’s so desperate for it, he nearly blows his chance with the only woman to draw him in.

Thrown out like trash…

    Small Objects: a Literary Analysis of Lullabies for Little Criminals

    When introducing her new friend Lauren to her room, Baby reflects on her rag doll, “It was a doll that my mother had bought for me when she was pregnant . . . The doll also made me feel sweet inside, too, because it made me feel that at some point, even before I existed, I had been loved” (O’Neill 97-98).

    The Colonel Analysis

    In the poem “The Colonel,” Carolyn Forche recounts a cruel encounter with the titles main character of interest while working for Amnesty International in El Salvador. The colonel personality can best be summed as a remorseless man in a chaotic country where violence is customary to the colonel and his people.

The theme for “The Colonel” could be that if people see that wrong is being done in their presence they should try their best to give those a voice that don’t have one.…

    The Red Badge Of Courage Analysis

    Stephen Crane, author of The Red Badge of Courage, was born on November 1st 1871 and died on June 5th 1900. He was born into a progressive family, making him identify with the poor because he had rejected social and religious traditions.

Before The Red Badge of Courage, Crane wrote Maggie, A Girl of the Streets, which highlighted the realities of life for a poor women in the late 1890’s.

    Erostratus By Jean Paul Sartre

    He is not interested in having an intercourse with women because he thinks that it would rob him of his masculinity. Furthermore, he does not want to give sexual pleasure to his major enemies, women, since “they are the ones – by a long shot – who gain on the deal” (1001). His dealings with prostitutes are very awkward and for the prostitutes rather mortifying. He orders them to parade around stripped and claims, “Nothing annoys women more than walking when they’re naked” (1002). The reason why he shames prostitutes is that their humiliation skyrockets his confidence and superiority and gives him a great sexual satisfaction. After he leaves the hotel room where he spends time alone with the prostitute, Renée, he feels a great deal of malicious achievement because of his ability to astonish her as he claims that “it isn’t easy to surprise a whore” (1003). This also contributes to the empowerment of his ego, and consequently transforms his inferiority to a sense of…
