'The World Is Oh !' By John Le Carre
Imagine getting up in the morning, having a cup of tea, and opening the front door of the house so that the front headlines of the weekly newspaper are visible. The heading is in bold titles: “The World is ENDING!” Seeing this, what would be a topic to ruminate about at that moment? Is the world really ending? Is this just propaganda like so many other things? I agree with the quote “The desk is a dangerous place from which to watch the world” by John Le Carre because it relates to what people think and how their outcome can change the situation.
This in fact is the situation in most cases since it relates to so many exemplary actions. Relating it back to the example, one wouldn’t believe that the world was ending until it actually does while

    'Return To A Town' By Upton Sinclair

    The last chaper in the book is doesent have a crazy ending with plot twist and turns or anything that shocks you as a reader. It is a boring ending where Carol just decides to get married and have kids, Sinclair shows how she didn’t really wanted to move back but it was the best choice for her.

    Between The World And Me By Ta-Nehisi Coates

    Most of the American history serves a great deal of pride, acknowledgement, and importance to its culture. Spreading democracy and liberty all over the world yet forgetting some part of the history full of abusement, racisms, and evil. The novel, Between The World And Me, written by Ta-Nehisi Coates, who is know for expressing black culture by writing novels, talks about some of this history. In his novel, he confesses all the fears filled in black Americans’ body in a letter that he writes to his fifteen year old son. When I first learned about the history of African Americans, I was shocked and I wanted to know even more about their culture and their backgrounds since, my culture is different from theirs. I was also disguised because American history was so cruel. One of the reasons that I took this class was also to learn more about African American culture. Ta-Nehisi Coates is also African American which helps the novel show his personal feelings and opinions…

    "Night" by Elie Wiesel

    There is a very thin line between the person who you were and the person that you are right now. As humans, we experience millions of events that can affect and change our perspective on aspects throughout the course of our lives. Similar to caterpillars, we cannot be innocent and childish forever. There is a time for everybody to transform into something beautiful, and everybody’s time is different. Change can be good or bad, but most importantly, change helps us grow and become the people we were meant to be. How are we supposed to mature and enjoy our lives if we cannot accept the differences that life presents? For many people, metamorphosing is difficult because sometimes it can be a challenge to let go of something that was always a part of ourselves, such as letting go of a teddy bear, or a blanket, but for other people, it can be almost instantaneous.…

    To Kill a Mockingbird- Harper Lee

    In chapter 10 of To Kill A Mockingbird, Harper Lee uses the incident of the mad dog as an allegory to represent prejudice. At this part in the chapter Atticus and Heck Tate are watching the mad dog walk down the road. Scout and Jem are watching from the crack through the door. Jem whispers “ Mr. Heck said they walked in a straight line. He can’t even stay in the road.” This passage in the novel represents prejudice because when Jem whispers that “Mr. Heck said that they walked in a straight line,” it means that usually the prejudice has been under control and not very noticeable by the people in the town. After, Jem says, “He can’t even stay in the road.” Which means that the prejudice was unnoticeable before, but now the prejudice can’t even stay in the road. It has the meaning that the prejudice is starting to become out of control and someone has to do something about it because it threatens all the townspeople. “Mr. heck said they walked in a straight line” also means that the people in Maycomb could handle the prejudice. Now that “It can’t even walk in a straight line.” The people of Maycomb have to take action against it, but everyone is too afraid to do anything. The people of Maycomb are afraid of change and they don’t know what to do when the mad dog comes. The only people that have enough courage to do something about the mad dog, the prejudice, are Atticus and Heck Tate. Even though Heck Tate is out there with Atticus, he is still too afraid to do anything about the prejudice so he gives his gun to Atticus. Atticus is afraid of the prejudice but he has the courage to destroy it. It was taking Atticus a while to shoot it, but he finally did. He destroyed the prejudice. Clearly, the incident of the mad dog represents more than just a dog in To Kill A Mockingbird; Rather, Harper Lee uses the mad dog as a symbol of the prejudice in the town of…

    Uncle Tom’s Cabin was published after The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. The book was Stowe’s protest against not only to the Slave Act, but to the institution of slavery itself. Henceforth, within the book Stowe gives examples how there is no “good slave owner”, by pointing out the flaws St.Clair and Shelby possess in the act of keeping slaves, even though they are considered to be kind to their slaves. Explaining that there can’t be a good Christian person who owns slaves, since her target audience is mostly towards the religious north. Although throughout most of the book Stowe focuses on the story and not the reader, she would at times break the fourth wall to directly question the reader’s morals directly and address key points in the story…

    The Road - Cormac Mccarthy

    Imagine a desolate and dismal world that deteriorated with scarce supplies of food and shelter and there is only a few survivors left--including yourself and one of your family members. In hopes of survival, what measures would you take? Would you go to the extreme by cannibalism or committing suicide? On the other hand, would you choose to be on an ethical route by grasping on life delicately? In the midst of the unflinching and empty world with virtually no hope, the father and son in the novel, The Road by Cormac McCarthy, choose to be the “good guys” by staying alive and refraining from cannibalism and thievery. They tried desperately to remain alive by roaming as nomads looking for shelter, edible foods, and avoiding the “bad guys” from preying on them for food. The unconditional love between the father and son sustained their struggle to live and try to stay ethical as possible.…
