Well it won’t work.” Alice snapped “And don’t dart around the doorway like that‚ you know it makes my head ache” Florence stepped away from the door frame‚ a placating smile on her untiringly gentle face. Florence was made of smiles these days — she was an ’aged care worker’‚ after all‚ and it was her job to make useless old bats like Alice feel like they had hope. ’Big-hearted’‚ some people might have called her. Alice called her a twit. Florence smiled that fragile‚

“I am one of the few honest people that I have ever known”. Discuss. Nick Carraway‚ the narrator of the great American novel The Great Gatsby written by F. Scott Fitzgerald‚ is often heralded as one of the greatest narrators of all time. However‚ whether Nick was a reliable narrator is an issue that is up for debate‚ with my personal belief being that Nick was not a reliable narrator‚ due to his fondness for exaggeration and contradiction‚ and his obvious idolization of Jay Gatsby. Firstly‚ Nick

one: "No matter how they explained‚ no matter how they laughed me away‚ I could not but believe I remembered my own birth." (Mishima 2) Here we see for the first time the attitude which drives the novel: life‚ the universe‚ and everything for the narrator are products of his own mind.

The short story Everyday Uses by Alice Walker has always been a favorite of mine. I remember the first time that I studied this story and how the ideas and feelings interested me. This is the reason why I chose this story. I hope that students will find it as interesting as I did. My goal for the literature circle group discussions is for students to compare and contrast the interpretations of the characters speech‚ action‚ and silence. Who talks‚ and to what effect? How does this affect the students’

The poem Gray by Alice Walker focuses on the defining characteristic of an indirectly mentioned character that the author explicitly states is an adoration of hers.
