The Tall Woman And Her Short Husband Analysis
The story I chose for my literary analysis is “The Tall Woman and her Short Husband” by Feng Jicai. When I read this story I thought that the neighbors were wrong to judge them before they even knew them. You should get to know people and see what their personality is before you go and judge them. The story is set during the Cultural Revolution in China which is a reason why Mr. Short was arrested for a year. This story kind of reminds me of the saying that you are taught when you are little, “don’t judge a book by its cover.”
After Mr. Short got of jail the town realizes that they made a mistake judging them after Mrs. Tall leaves but it was too late to fix what they did wrong. They had a kid but when Mrs. Tall leaves she takes the kid so

    Sociological Aspects in "The Other Wes Moore"

    The book I chose to do this project on was the book by Wes Moore titled “the other Wes Moore”. The reason I had chosen this is because I was able to relate to it a lot more than any of the other books in the choices that were made present to me. Wes Moore does a great job in describing how easy one can make decisions that have long term reactions in everyone’s lives. This book was not one merely to tell a good story but one to educate of the many issues that we face in America and to perhaps change the minds of some of the youth out there. The book captures you into the lives of not only the author but that of the other Wes Moore who is a felon in prison serving a life time sentence for the part he served in the shooting of a police officer. The book starts you from the very beginning of their lives so that you can track down from the beginning where and how these two men ended up on the path that lead them where they are today and where that dramatic split occurred between their two destinies. The book does a great job of attacking our pre-notions of the book because the author Wes Moore’s life wasn’t all glamour and perfect and the other Wes Moore’s life wasn’t all in the streets filled with violence and crime as one would have though and thus making the book all the more interesting.…

    Reflective Essay: An Education In Writing

    The True Story of the Three Little Pigs by Jon Scieszka showed the value of looking at a story from a different perspective. While I used this idea somewhat in my paper, by writing from the point of view of a chocolate bar, Scieszka wrote The True Story of the Three Little Pigs from a perspective that most people do not consider. By writing from an alternative perspective, the wolf is able to persuade the readers that he is not as bad as most think he is. Although I read this book to plan a lesson for my class, it was instrumental in developing my own…

    The Ceiling Sparknotes

    I chose to write about The Ceiling. This story begins with the narrator attending his son’s birthday party and he remembers the day so well because it is the first day that he saw the object in the sky later referred to by the press as the Ceiling “The square was without blemish or flaw, no larger than a child’s tooth, and I could not tell whether it rested on the moon itself or hovered above it like a cloud.” (Thing’s that fall from the sky pg.103-104). The object continued to grow larger and larger in the sky as it got closer and closer. It hung over the people of the town like a black thunder cloud a constant reminder of what was to come but somehow people tried to continue on with their lives as if nothing was wrong. The narrator is so focused on the ceiling slowly crashing down on him he choices to ignore the struggles his wife is going though and as the distance shrinks between the ceiling and the town the distance increases between him and his wife who is so focused on their problems she fails to even really notice the ceiling at all.…

    Hills Like White Elephant Conflict Analysis

    I would most likely remember “Hills like White Elephants” by Ernest Hemingway five years from now because Hemingway uses symbolism and conflict to address the message of his story. This story shows the readers that sometimes the hardest thing for people to do is talk about their issues. Many people do not realize they are doing this because avoiding are problems is like second nature to us. Based off what I learned in the Hemingway’s short story “Hills like White Elephants” I am going to try my best not to avoid any of my…
