At the end of the story , He realized fantasy won't happen in real life that inspired me to find the meaning of life . In this story also explored more like if you have a dream , It could be the courages that help you succeed.

In the first unit , my favorite character is Charlie's father from the story reunion , He cares about his son specially , my first expression of him is not that good , but when I read through these paragraphs , the detail shows Charlie is the cherish for him .

Because the style of the intro is darkness. A girl was scared about where she stands at. And the girl explained, She stood at the opposite side of the river and there was a dark forest behinds him , no one besides her. At the begging of the story makes people imaged more, because a character was a professor not that girl. That makes me imagine is the man kills the girl or they both in the forest.

Lear and Gloucester are similar because they both had a high status. Gloucester is a duke and Lear is a king.

    The book I chose this week is called "Tjatjakaymatchan (Coyote) A legend from Carmel Valley" by Alex O. Ramirez and is a Native American tale about why the coyote calls into the night. I would categorize this book as fiction because of the talking coyote and fox. I decided to read this book because of my Choctaw heritage and it reminded me that many first people languages and stories are vanishing into the time because they not written down most of the time. The most interesting piece of information that I found was about why this book was published and it was because the writer's friends encouraged him to write down his memories of his Elders so that they would not fade into time. I also thought his illustrations were interesting because unlike…

    People’s intentions are sometimes very unclear. It seems like they are doing one thing but are really have some other intention in the end. Like when you ***. In Loraine Hansberry’s play A Raisin in the Sun, Walter Lee Younger is very similar in that aspect. He comes off very money hungry right from the beginning and seems somewhat selfish wanting to use his father’s insurance check. We can also see Walter lee is a very ambitious character but in the end, really just wants to provide for his family.…

    During the reconstruction period after the American Civil War and the years leading to the Civil Rights movement, African-Americans were classified as an inferior racial group rather than as equals and individuals. African-Americans were considered “invisible” and looked down upon by whites in the North as well as in the South. In Ellison’s novel, The Invisible Man, the narrator’s name is never revealed. This further contributes to how the African-Americans were viewed as invisible and the narrator admits, “Or again, you often doubt if you really exist. You wonder whether you aren’t simply a phantom in other people’s minds” (Ellison 208). In the prologue, the narrator listens to Louis Armstrong’s song, “Black and Blue”, while in his basement…

    Ageism in king Lear

    • 641 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Gloucester observes disastrous events occurring in the play, most notably the ones occurring in the kingdom. He notes that love can never last, friendships eventually break up, and brothers become enemies which eventually leads to chaotic behavior. Ultimately, these malicious acts break out into devastating events such as civil wars, the bond breaking between father and son, and lastly the betrayal of King Lear and his noble power. In addition to all of these spiteful acts, it is evident that ageism is also portrayed in the play about the King himself, especially at the end of scene one. The first sign of how ageism begins in the first act is King Lear’s debatable decision to divide up the kingdom between his three daughters, Goneril, Regan and Cordelia. Eventually, Lear’s unwise decision causes chaos and havoc throughout the family, leading to multiple conflicts such as the banishment of Cordelia and the insulting comments about Lear’s old age and judgement.…

    The first story in this book is the one that interested me the most. The reason it stood out to me more than the rest is because it doesn’t talk about space, or Martians, but of the eerie future. This story tells of a future where people don’t have to do anything, the machines do everything for you, and your imagination can dictate what happens.…

    It first became clear that Shakespeare's King Lear and Laurence's Hagar Shipley were similar main characters when their personalities were developed with flaws. King Lear was immediately revealed as an imperfect character when he was shown in his somewhat conflicting roles as a father and a king. After resolving to divide his kingdom amongst his three daughters Lear develops a way to decide how his power and land will be divided. Looking to his three children Lear probes, "Tell me, my daughters/ (Since now we will divest us both of rule,/ Interest of territory, cares of state),/ Which of you shall we say doth love us most?/ That we our largest bounty may extend/ Where nature doth with merit challenge."(I.i.49-54) It is at this point in the play that King Lear…
