    Bless Me, Ultima By Rudolfo Anaya

    Study Question 5. In the novel -- Bless Me, Ultima -- written by Rudolfo Anaya, the events are set during and after World War II. Rather than being significant to the story, this particular moment in history takes more significance in the molding of the characters which eventually drives the story. In the text it says, “The men of the town had murdered Lupito. But he had murdered the sheriff. They said the war had made him crazy” (24). As read in the quote, World War II directly affected those immediately involved in the war, for instance, Lupito. However, it also indirectly affected young Antonio, due to the impact left on the people Antonio was exposed to. Being exposed to these people, Antonio witnessed events that made him develop his own…

    The Book Thief Critical Analysis

    In correspondence, Max had the notion that “Living was living. The price was guilt and shame.” (pg.208, Zusak), signifying his belief that by abandoning his family, he was indeed alive, but only at the sacrifice of the ones he cared about. Max is haunted by the fact that, “when he was pushed out by the rest of the family, the relief struggled inside of him like an obscenity. It was something he didn’t want to feel, but nonetheless, he felt it with such gusto it made him want to throw up” (pg. 193, Zusak). So he carries his burden, his shame, along with him.…

    "Homeland" by Anna Maria Dell'oso

    In the article "Homeland" by Anna Maria Dell'oso, the issue of identity; in particular, cultural identity, is thoroughly explored by the composer. It is mainly about how identity is passed on from generation to generation, changes over time and is influenced by a person's surroundings. The composer conveys this through her use of symbolism and sharp and often humourous contrast. It is about her search to find her Italian identity, while at the same time her mother loses some of her Italian identity because of changes influenced by time and surroundings.…

    Away by Michael Gow

    Set in the Australian summer of 1967, Michael Gow’s Away is an elaborate play which explores the ideas of self- discovery and change. Through the war affected nation, three families, each from different social classes, depart on an iconic Australian holiday to the beach. In the play, Gow utilises the characters to demonstrate that going away physically is intrinsically linked to their mental developments. With the help of references to Shakespeare’s A Midsummer night’s Dream, Away uses Gwen and Coral to show the significant psychological changes made by the characters during holidays to the coast. Tom throughout the play acts as a catalyst for the change in other characters and is associated with Puck in A Midsummer Night’s Dream.…

    All Good Children Quote Analysis

    His thoughts are rooted in his and other’s identity in through which he hopes for a better future. Every human has the desire to ameliorate the circumstance that they live in. Max envisions that future with hope by the true identity that people used to be where people, the civilian dictated the society. [I’ll paint children, dozens of them, real ones...I’ll paint all of us doing what we used to be]. This quote defines his imagination of the wonderful world that he used to live in, which Max wanted to display to the world once more during his art gala. This source of identity and of other people’s identity appears to be one of the source of hope for Max as that is something that define who he is and it cannot be confiscated away from him. The government may take away his mentality, and his loved ones but they cannot take away the essence of the person. That essence allows Max to keep on living with hope, [I still have my thoughts. I just can't say them out loud. I still have my friends. I just can't show them. I still have all the things that used to matter. They're inside of me. They can't take that away. ] . This quote accurately reflects how that source of identity is indeed a beacon of hope for Max.

    All Over by Guy De Maupassant

    A long time ago the difference between perception and reality was defined as the act of understanding in contrast to the act of being real. Reality could be tricky; most of us including myself depending on scenarios of our lives tend to give in to ideas which are not applicable to reality as a whole. The best example of this is written in the short story “All Over” by Guy de Maupassant. In which his main character Lormerin is very self conscious and narcissistic also Lise de Vance, a former old love plays a big role in hurting Lormerin ego and opening his eyes by showing him, his real self. Many would say that when reality knocks it could be harsh and confusing. In the next couple of paragraphs I want to show how my understanding of reality can be applied to the short story previously mentioned. Every day life brings so many unexpected moments of which we dream of but never really happen, this is where we draw the line for reality and perception of a perfect to be situation. Reality is in the eyes of the beholder and no one can really change that, all of us are born dreamers. When things get out of hand and reality hits, this is where people suffer. Why do we suffer? We suffer because we give too much or expect too much and not everyone has the same ideals when returning the favor. Also, some events might be trifling to some but extremely important to others.…
