    Monsters Due On Maple Street Summary

    My idea for a theme for Monsters Due On Maple Street is that fear can change a persons judgement/opinion. In the beginning of the story there was a big flash or boom and then everyone's power simultaneously turned off.

Then Tommy tells Steve to not go which basically starts the whole situation involving fear because Tommy took a guess that it was aliens and that they wanted them to leave because they were aliens and everyone started second guessing each other.…

    Huck Finn: Appearance Versus Reality

    Many people in this world will believe in the first impression they get. The appearance people see will usually satisfy them without further investigating into the reality of a situation. The difference between appearance and reality can be quite different. This also applies to literature. There are many instances where an author will describes a character as kind, but is actually deceptive and mean. In the novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, there are characters and situations that show how appearances can differ from reality. The three main instances are the Grangerford and Shepherdson feud, through the Duke and the Dauphin, and Miss Watson.…
