    A Small Free Kiss In The Dark Chapter Analysis

    My first impression of the novel titled “a small free kiss in the dark”was ,that it would be a bit weird. Because the title made absolutely no sense to me, and it still doesn't make sense to me in chapter 11. Aside from that after reading the prologue I knew that there were going to be some people named Billy and Max. The narrator was still unknown. As we begun reading I understood well what was going on, and I thought it would be one of those books were something unexpected happens. I just did not know what.…

    The Giant's Drink Symbolism

    In Orson Scott Card’s Ender’s Game, the “mind game” is a constantly changing computer game made for the students and is used by the commanders of the battle school as a tool to monitor and analyze how the students are feeling. Ender Wiggin becomes increasingly obsessed with the game, specifically after he becomes stuck at the “Giant’s Drink”. At this point, the game seems to hit a dead end, with none of the options for the player to take being the right one and all of them ending in their “death”. The game would then reset itself so that the player might try again, and fail again. The Giant’s Drink is symbolic to many parts of Ender’s life; he sees, in the battle school, that following orders will barely…

    Hero's Journey- Ender's Game

    The sense of responsibility delegated to Ender by others around him displays the typical conventional hero. “I’ve watched through his eyes, I’ve listened through his ears, and I tell you he’s the one. Or at least as close as we’re going to get” Card uses word choice in order to convey the sense of urgency when saying “or at least as close as we’re going to get. “This sense of urgency creates the tension of Ender being the hero that they are relying on to save the world. Ender also being aware of this factor by saying “it’s what I was born for, isn’t it? If I don’t go, why am I alive?” The responsibility that Ender has no choice in accepting shows how essential and significant Ender is in the scheme of redeeming world peace among the buggers. Being depended on by…

    Analysis Of Prince Prospero's The Red Death

    I think that taking these precautions would be considered a natural reaction in my opinion, because Prince Prospero doesn't want to become a victim of The Red Death that is currently taking over his land and killing everyone off that it comes into contact with. Most any and everyone would try their best and attempt to do whatever is necessary to keep themselves and loved ones locked away from becoming infected with a plague, proceeding that they have the ability and obligatory materials required to do so. Keeping yourself distanced and put away from any sort of contact with the plague would be a natural reaction, because almost anyone would do whatever they could physically and possibly do in order to avoid being consumed of death by a plague.…

    Injustice in 'the Wine of Astonishment'

    The theme of Injustice reoccurred several times in the novel ‘The Wine of Astonishment’ by Earl Lovelace. On the whole, the circumstances were unfair to most of the Trinidadian locals in the period of World War 2, which was the time period in which the novel is set. A selected few of examples of injustice which emerged were when the Spiritual Baptists were banned from preaching, when Eulilee was treated badly for wanting to improve her life, and most of all, Bolo suffered from injustice when he was frowned upon for trying to help his people. The war seemed to have done nothing but cause havoc and formulate desperation among the locals.…
